EDIT>>>The Sari-Jeepney was displayed on Google PH Homepage for one day only (November 10,2014) 

Let’s play a game shall we? Log on to www.google.com.ph

Anong nakita ninyo?!? 

Is that a jeepney? a really, really colorful jeepney?

Yes it is!

And it’s the first ever Doodle 4 Google Philippines Winner titled, Sari-Jeepney.

Out of 51,000 entries from all over the Philippines, Kim Patrick Saren of Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School, came out on top of the contest.

Answering the question, “What can I do for the Philippines?”

“This is a sarimanok inspired idea. It symbolizes Filipino culture with deep appreciation of hard work and creativity,” wrote Kim of his doodle. “The concept is created to solve problems like traffic, economy, education and basic needs. The key on the tail signifies the solutions to the problems wherein we must fly high with pride and honor.” Kim belongs to the 15-17 age group category.

I wrote about this competition a few months back, remember? And it was mentioned that there will be one winner from each age category and a Google Doodler will select one overall winner.

Here are winners from the other 3 group categories:

“Through the competition, we saw the depth of the Filipino youth’s insight, creativity, and innovation. They are very keen on the idea of nation-building,” said Ryan Morales, Google Philippines Country Marketing Manager. “The doodles reflect the aspirations of the nation over pressing issues—from solution to flooding to environment protection to food for the poor, value of education, culture preservation, and global competitiveness.”

Now Kim has all the bragging rights for being on Google PH homepage! COOL!!!

Pero hindi nagtatapos jan.. he also took home the following bonggang bongga prizes!

• specially designed trophy by Google,
• PHP 400,000 educational grant from BPI Foundation at any school/college in the Philippines
• Art kit from National Bookstore
• Acer C720 Chromebook.
• PHP 350,000 connectivity grant (provided by PLDT-Smart Foundation) for Kim’s school, Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School in Compostela Valley.

The age category winners received various prizes including a medal from Google, a Nexus 7 tablet, a 3D doodling pen, and PHP 5,000 worth of gift certificates from National Bookstore.

The pool of entries was narrowed down to 10 per age category by judges comprised of teacher and 2009 CNN Hero of the Year Efren Penaflorida, TBWA-Santiago Mangada Puno Senior Art Director CJ De Silva-Ong, PLDT-Smart Foundation, Inc.

The Magic Man did it again! They say magic moments can happen to anyone, anywhere and anytime when John Lloyd and Magic Crackers is around.. Magic Crackers alone is magical.. may John Lloyd pa? sobra na yata yun? Pero mukhang hindi kuntento ang Magic Crackers. to make the moment more magical, may bitbit pala si John Lloyd!

Saan- saan nangyari ang 8 magic moments with John Lloyd na ito?

Si Charita Tuyogan bumili lang ng Magic Flakes sa Centro Supermarket in San Pablo City, Laguna, may instant prize agad na BIG hug from John Lloyd! John Lloyd also gave the housewife a Magic Family Treat worth P50,000, which consists of URC products and shopping money. “Ang sarap palang magka-Magic Moment,” said Charita upon learning of her prize.

In Cebu naman, at Robinsons Supermarket in Feunte, si Mareng  Jenevie Verances naexcite when she learned that she will receive a freebie after purchasing Magic Flakes. Ang excitement ni mare nauwi sa iyakan when John Lloyd appeared  out of nowhere to give her another gift—a Magic Domestic Vacation Package worth P50,000.

Well hindi lang mga nanay ang nakgaroon ng Magic Moments with John Lloyd, students from University of Cebu and Technological Institute of the Philippines Manila had their moments too!

Eto naman, eksenang airport (inserts melodramatic song here).. si ateng Jennifer Daquigan of Sta. Maria, Pangasinan, habang naghihintay ng flight nya to Hong Kong, malungkot, nagmumuni muni..ng biglang lumapit si…… dandandandan… JOHN LLOYD!

“Napakasaya, ang sarap ng feeling” was how the lucky OFW summed up her Magic moment experience.

Magic Man, John Lloyd  presented her with a Magic Negosyo Starter worth P50,000 of URC products.

At the Iloilo Airport, John Lloyd pulled a surprise on Micah Seminio of Calumpang, General Santos City as she was waiting for her flight home. The celebrity approached the unwary passenger and talked to her, acting as if they were old friends who have not seen each other for a long time. To celebrate the magic moment, the award-winning actor gifted her with a Magic Shopping Treat worth P50,000, which consists of URC products and Robinsons gift checks.

A lucky grocer at the Iloilo Supermart got the surprise of her life when, after being made to wait for a sample product, she came face-to-face with John Lloyd who personally replenished the stocks in the Magic booth. Aside from meeting the matinee idol, special education student Karen Almojallas of Lapaz, Iloilo City also received a Magic Back-To-School Package worth P50,000, which consists of a laptop and Robinsons gift checks.

Angeles Public Market store owner Corazon Ocampo experienced a unique and rewarding surprise. A URC delivery guy who looked exactly like John Lloyd Cruz, came over one day not only to deliver boxes of Magic Crackers but also to give her a Magic Vacation Package worth P50,000, inclusive of airfare via Cebu Pacific, 2-night accommodation and pocket money.

All Robinsons gift checks given are valid for use in all Robinsons Retail Holdings stores such as Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Department Store, Handyman, Toys R Us, Topshop, Warehouse, River Island, and many more.
