Ford’s Cross-country Challenge

Jollibee and Ford teamed-up for the Cross-Country challenge. 10 couples (Male-Female/ Male-Male/ or Female -Female), were chosen by Jollibee to drive thru hundreds of Jollibee outlets nationwide and go to selected Ford dealers, also nationwide, to do some tasks.
For 10 days, each team is given P10,000 cash allowance each day to cover for their meals, lodging and gas.

The event’s organizers chose the location of Ford Cainta as one of the places where the contestants would go for the challenge. May 1 was the perfect day they chose to be at Ford Cainta. I braved the heat to catch this challenging “Challenge”. Hindi pala Amazing Race ang tawag.

Ford Cainta is one messy site. It’s still under construction, no roof, no cool and comfortable place to stay, dusty and noisy from the workers’ pukpok. It’s extremely glary and sooooooooooo hot.

The above looks easy to assemble, if you are superman. The blocks are made of cement and are so heavy, siguro 10 pounds each.
And not only that, the blocks are to be carried and transfered from 30 meters away, to the spot where the team is supposed to assemble it.

This two very goodlooking contestants are fashion models and they look like they’re of foreign descent.

Talagang dapat safety first kasi baka mabagsakan sila ng bakal, it’s no longer going to be fun and cross-country challenge but instead a cross-over to the after-life.

Bakal-bakal sa langit, ang taaman, balik sa langit.

Absolute was not a sponsor, Edmund bought those from the grocery.

A lot is at stake here, the winners (one team) gets one million pesos in cash and one brand-new Ford Fiesta for each.
Meaning tig -P500k sila at tig-isang kotse. Pwede na!!

P1040323

Edmund gets frustrated, he wants to help.

P1040330

Si Malou agaw eksena din, kahit super init, pang facebook nya.
P1040338

Each team was given a Ford Fiesta for the 10 days challenge.

The last team almost missed the cut, they arrived at almost 5 pm, kasi daw nabangga sila.
