Making moms Glad for 50 years now

MANILA, Philippines - Jocelyn Geronimo, a dedicated teacher, hardworking single mom, and cooking enthusiast, wanted to buy a new gas range to replace her old one last Christmas. However, her sister’s child got sick so she pitched in her little savings toward the hospital bills. 

Little did the good-hearted aunt know that she would be aptly rewarded for her good deed when she was picked as one of the winners of a kitchen showcase from Glad’s Buy & Win promo, marking the No.1 US Cling wrap brand’s 50th anniversary.

The Glad on-line promo gave away P50,000 worth of kitchen appliances to three lucky Glad users. The grand prize package consisted of top-of-the-line items such as a GE single door refrigerator, Ariston cook range, GE microwave oven, Tefal small kitchen appliances, and Glad gift packs.

Geronimo relies on Glad sandwich bag for her daughter’s baon.  “I prefer Glad products because they are well-made,” she said. She admitted to trying other brands, but went back to Glad products. “Other brands have thinner material so I don’t use them anymore,” she explained.

Eatery owner Epifania Lambon is also a Glad consumer. She particularly favors Glad Storage bags for marinating meats and seafood items. “Glad Storage bag is very convenient to use. There is no need to clean bowls and containers.  I just place the meat and seafood in the bags — less mess and definitely no overpowering smell in the freezer,” shared Lambon.

She considered her win as providential as they have just finished renovating their house in the province. “Now, we don’t need to buy appliances for the house,” added Lambon.

The third winner is Maria Luisa Mariano, a real estate company employee whose husband works in Saudi Arabia. Mariano loves to cook and proudly says that she uses Glad Foil especially when grilling food. “Glad foil is more durable compared to other brands. I have tried other foil brands but they easily break and tear. I learned my lesson. Glad makes my cooking convenient,” she professed.

Mariano hopes to surprise her husband who is due to arrive for a vacation. “We were actually planning to buy a new range when he gets home. We are really happy since we got more than just a range. This is my dream appliance,” she said.

Mariano is extremely grateful for the timely win because her eldest daughter is already in college and “her needs are our priorities,” she explained. The money they have saved can go toward ensuring a good college education for their children.

Aside from their love of Glad products, the three winners also have something in common — they are all first-time promo winners. “They are actually first-time promo joiners who were fortunate to be picked as grand prize winners,” explained Glad product manager Renelle Delos Santos.

During the awarding, it was a good opportunity for Delos Santos to talk to the winners and get to know more about real and loyal users of Glad. “They bought these Glad items because they trust the quality of the products and they use these products for food preparation, cooking and storage,” explained Delos Santos. Fortunately they purchased the items with the winning promo codes, and this made their win unexpected but very rewarding.”
