TV ads that can touch our hearts are a rare find. But those that can make us cry are often treasured ...and shared on social media.
Jollibee Foods Corp recently released a three-part Valentine series of heart-wrenching videos that got the online community abuzz.
The first video, "Vow," came out at around 5pm on Thursday, with the caption "To all those who found joy in loving unconditionally." This is a tear-jerking video with a painful and yet quite a happy ending.
"Crush" got released the same day past 9 pm, with the caption "To those who never gave up on love." This is vid is "lighter" in "the feels" but still touched hearts of many viewers. The ending shows that perserverence would defy #walangforever.
Following the release of the first to short films, netizens have been anticipating the third vid, "Date," which came out on Friday at around 5 pm. This video, as expected jerked the most tears to most of the viewers.
