🇵🇭😊 Why Filipino Smiles Are So Contagious (And Why We Share Them)

“Before hiring a team, I tell the team the most important thing: if you’re not smiling while doing this job, then you’re doing it wrong.” 

—Jerry  Marcelo, CEO of 365 Filipino Wishes

No matter where you go in the world, ask anyone who’s met a Filipino:

“They always smile!”

From tricycle drivers giving you directions to titas who’ll feed you merienda even if you’re a stranger — the Filipino smile is warm, honest, and sometimes all you need to feel at home.

 

🌟 Where It Comes From: Joy in Simple Things

Filipinos have mastered finding joy even in the hardest times.

Typhoons come and go, but karaoke stays. Bills pile up, but so does laughter around the dining table.

Our secret? We don’t hoard happiness — we pass it on. And it starts with a simple smile.

 

🎉 Sharing Smiles Is Our Superpower

At 365 Filipino Wishes, we’ve made this habit of sharing smiles our mission.

When our dancers practice under the sun or our singers record a harana after a long day, they do it knowing someone across the world will smile back.

This is the Filipino magic we bring to every greeting: genuine, contagious joy.

 

❤️ A Smile Travels Farther Than You Think

One greeting can cross oceans. One joke in a video can lighten a family’s day. One song can remind an OFW parent how much they’re loved back home.

When you order a video greeting, you’re not just sending a message. You’re sending a Filipino smile — warm enough to melt homesickness and remind someone they’re never alone.

“We don’t wait for reasons to smile. We smile to create them — for ourselves and for you.”

— Jerry Marcelo, CEO of 365 Filipino Wishes
