Making an entire generation fall in love: The power of John Lloyd and Bea as the One True Pair, Jollibee Studios’ newest offering

Aside from delivering every Filipino’s comfort food, Jollibee has also made its name as a brand that delivers powerful and heartfelt stories through Jollibee Studios, their official YouTube channel that houses their ever-popular short films.

In its newest offering, Jollibee is tackling a deeper kind of love—something the brand has yet to talk about, until now—one that goes beyond romance.

“From our very first Kwentong Jollibee in 2016, to the laugh-out-loud Petsa de Peligro series of 2017, and the One True Pair shorts that started in 2018, our stories have focused on the everyday lives of Filipinos, with lessons and messages on hope, love, inspiration, and joy,” said Francis E. Flores, Jollibee Foods Corporation Philippines Country/Regional Marketing Head. “With One True Pair The Movie, which brings together one of the most loved and iconic love teams in the Philippines, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo, we wanted to tell a heartwarming story about a love that lasts and transcends time and romance.”

The film is directed by award-winning director JP Habac and produced by Publicis JimenezBasic and Unitel x Straightshooters.

Jollibee Studios proves that true love is one that transcends romance in new John Lloyd-Bea film

Many people are looking for the one and a love that lasts and while many have been fortunate to find it and keep it, many are still searching for that person, or what the one means to them. In Jollibee Studios’ newest 30-minute film, it discusses what makes a love that lasts in a poignant and heart-tugging story that brings together the country’s most iconic love team, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.

The pair’s much awaited on-screen reunion definitely brought a lot of excitement among long-time fans. The anticipation and joy from the public was truly felt back in October when leaked photos from their shoot came out. When it was revealed that it was for a Jollibee project, this excited people further, as Jollibee has been known to produce memorable short films that never fails to bring joy and touch one’s heart.

“At Jollibee, we have told so many stories about love and its different kinds. Now, we are looking at a love that goes beyond romance--a love that’s unflinching and a love that lasts,” said Francis E. Flores, Jollibee Foods Corporation Philippines Country/Regional Marketing Head and Jollibee Philippines Marketing Head. “With One True Pair The Movie, we wanted to deliver that powerful message of how some pairs are perfect because their love is one that goes beyond romance. And what better way to do that than having John Lloyd and Bea star in the film. In fact, we wanted this film to be very meaningful, not just to the fans but to John Lloyd and Bea as well. So, during the development process, we made sure that they could share their personal insights and creative input about the story.”
