Manila Millennial is honored to be part of the first few to know and announce that Jose Mari Chan is now the new Christmas Ambassador for e-commerce platform Shopee! Filipinos know him very much as the “Father of Philippine Christmas music”, the man behind Christmas songs that are being played on repeat every year as early as September. Consider this as an early Christmas treat because you’re about to watch him sing and dance to the Shopee-pi-pi-pi-pi tune as he kicks off the beginning of Shopee 11.11-12.12 Big Christmas Sale.
Just last Thursday (October 25, 2018), Jose Mari Chan made a special appearance and performed Christmas carols in front of hundreds of mall patrons at Glorietta 2 in Makati City, marking the beginning of exciting deals to come. Before we give you the list of things to watch out for in the next two months, here’s something to brighten up your day:
“Christmas is a time for us to come together and celebrate. I am thrilled to be joining the Shopee family to spread cheer to all Filipinos this festive season, and to be part of Shopee’s first ever Christmas television commercial. I welcome everyone to join Shopee and I in kickstarting the Christmas season with Shopee 11.11 – 12.12 Big Christmas Sale, and look forward to collaborating with Shopee to deliver a series of surprises this Christmas,” shares Jose Mari Chan.
