McDonald’s celebrates Mother’s Day with larger-than-life greeting cards

-

IN celebratio­n of Mother’s Day, McDonald’s Philippine­s encouraged children and families to express their overflowin­g love and brimming pride for their moms and all mother figures in their lives.

By sharing reasons why they are proud of their mom and a photo of her, they had the opportunit­y to give their mom the biggest and most epic Mother’s Day greeting — a feature in McDonald’s digital billboard placements on select highways all over the country.

Gathering 6,000-plus entries on its official Facebook page, McDonald’s featured a total of 108 moms — 60 on social media and 48 across 10 billboards located along Katipunan, Commonweal­th, Edsa Forum, Edsa Magallanes, Edsa Kamuning, Lawton, Colon Cebu, Escario Cebu and Laurel Davao last May 8 to 10.

Behind those beautiful photos and charming smiles were stories of strength and unconditio­nal love that these mothers and mom-figures have shown their loved ones.

Aimee Graces’ mother has proven that no illness — not even cancer — is strong enough to keep her from upholding her role as a mother. Her children serve as her motivation to power through as she maintains a positive outlook.

Also giving inspiratio­n were Riche Doronila-Banal and Myra Agol.

Mother’s Day is not the only day children can celebrate their mothers, but it is during this day that we collective­ly hear and share stories that allow us to celebrate and appreciate our mothers more because of the weight that their roles carry.

McDonald’s would like to express its deepest gratitude to all mothers and mother figures. Thank you for being you.
