Two of the Philippines’ favorite brands are teaming up to make celebrations bigger and more fun. Jollibee, the country’s number one fastfood chain, is now Timezone Philippines’ official meal partner, bringing the Jolly Party Package to Timezone venues nationwide. Launched at Timezone Glorietta 4 on January 22, the package merges Jollibee’s signature meals with Timezone’s high-energy social entertainment experience for all ages.
“Jollibee has always been at the heart of Filipino celebrations, and now we’re taking that joy to Timezone,” said Kakam Gabunada, vice president for national key accounts group of Jollibee Philippines. “By pairing our beloved food with Timezone’s fun-filled attractions, we’re giving families and friends a place to laugh, play, and create memories they’ll treasure for years.
Breakfast is no longer seen as just a morning ritual; it has quietly become the new social hour. Across cities and neighborhoods, friends and families are gathering around tables for breakfast food at any time of the day. This has shifted how diners enjoy the genre of eating, making it a special moment for connection, conversation, and the indulgence of loved flavors. At Pancake House, breakfast is not just an everyday choice, but an opportunity for diners to savor it in new and exciting ways.
Last year, the kitchen elevated the classic Pancake House breakfast, elevating the brand’s staple pancakes with bold and refreshing flavors. This year, those beloved flavors find a new canvas in Brioche Toasts. Soft, golden, and versatile, the toasts carry the essence of the brand’s signature flavors while offering a fresh, shareable, all-day dining experience.
Diners are invited to enjoy:
