Jericho Rosales jams with Ilonggos at Kuya J Restaurant

Kuya J Restaurant made its presence felt in Iloilo City by introducing its array of delectable dishes, and bringing in bidang endorser Jericho Rosales to SM City Iloilo on Sunday, January 31.

The recently-named MMFF best actor winner flew in to dine and mingle with resto patrons and group of local media and bloggers, before having a meet-and-greet event with fans, who took the opportunity to take selfies and have an autograph-signing with the well-loved celebrity.

Rosales also generously treated attendees to a jamming session, singing his hit song Pusong Ligaw, Basil Valdez’s You, Gary V’s Di Bale Nalang, Joshua Kadison’s Beautiful in My Eyes, and Eric Clapton’s Change the World.

Kuya J owner Winglip Chang was also present to personally introduce the restaurant and Rosales as brand ambassador, and to thank the Ilonggos for the support.

“We are very happy with the response of the Ilonggo public. We assure our customers that we will continue to improve, not just on our product quality but also our service,” Chang said.

Chang is highly known in Cebu for his knack of constantly bringing food and restaurant services to a whole new level. With over 30 years of remarkable experience in the food industry, it’s no surprise that Kuya J Restaurant has become and continues to be one of the fast rising Filipino restaurants in the country.
