Fast-forward to 2007, Jollibee started to operate in San Jose Occ. Mindoro. Reports said that the Jollibee-San Jose holds the record for having the biggest sale on the opening day (Way to go Mangyans!) According to what I heard, the cue started to build up as early as two in the morning! Yes, two in the morning, alas dos ng madaling araw. Tsk tsk tsk. Everybody was really excited, I must say. Too bad, I have not visited the branch because San Jose is way too far from our town. It is like a 3-hour bus ride on the roughest roads one could ever imagine.

On my second day here after more than 13 months in a foreign land, I invited my childhood friend Bonna to eat out Though it was raining, she said yes minus my godson Cedric. We decided to eat in “Luiscious”, a new resto in front of my Lola’s house. While waiting for our food, she told me that there is a Jollibee outlet in the town plaza. I was overwhelmed. Because of excitement, I almost canceled our orders, but Bonna insisted that we stay. We canceled the burgers instead. We enjoyed our food and we immediately went to the town plaza where Jollibee on Wheels took a stop!
