Meet James.
He ain’t James Reid but he’s JolliSerye’s “Mr. Pogi ng Marketing” and we’re pretty much hooked on his cute little papi antics.
He’s one of the officemates in the newest Jollibee web series which showcases every experience Filipino workers go through when it’s Petsa de Peligro.
Just in case you didn’t know, it’s that time of the month when one tries to survive on a #tipidnation budget days before payday.
The title of the web series is inspired by the two most Petsa de Peligro days—the 14th and 29th of the month or the day before actual sweldo comes in. The Petsa de Peligro JolliSerye is conceptualized and executed by Publicis JimenezBasic.
The pilot episode introduced six main officemates and three other staff members who work in a printing house and what Petsa de Peligro is to them.
Get ready to laugh or even pick up a hack or two on how each of them survives Petsa de Peligro!
The succeeding episodes will walk you through the different survival dramas and stories of each character. Each character brings to life common office stereotypes that make their antics even more humorously relatable.
