Close to 50 children from Carmelite Missionaries Secular (CMS) Philippines had a fun-filled workshop as McDonald’s Kiddie Crew participants.
McDonald’s newest Kiddie Crew ambassador Alonzo Muhlach personally chose CMS beneficiaries to join him as they experienced how to be a real McDonald’s crew doing tasks at the front counter, lobby, and Drive-Thru; make their own cheeseburger; and groove to the Ronald Dance. Alonzo also joined in the games, gave away prizes and loot bags to the kids, and performed a song-and-dance number to entertain guests.
Alonzo and CMS beneficiaries are just among thousands of children who have learned and have had fun through Kiddie Crew, McDonald’s flagship family program that has been running since 1992. It has been promoting children’s well being through fun and enriching activities that help them develop skills and make new friends.
You can still enroll your kids to McDonald’s Kiddie Crew until May 27.

Broken heels make Stefanowitz a winner
While joining the parade of sagalas in a Flores de Mayo event last week, her five-inch-high heels was broken. This prompted Miss Earth-Air 2012 Stephany Stefanowitz to endure tiptoeing through the whole parade en route the streets of SM Mall of Asia so that she could balance with the weight of her very long gown designed by Vince Sityar.
Keeping professionalism alive, the beauty queen kept her poise continuously waving and smiling to the crowd and pretended nothing had happened. Not even the pain on her legs and feet affected her queenly performance.
Stephany’s patience paid off as she won the Gandang Filipina award. The award, also called Ms. Cream Silk, is given annually to the sagala or muse who has the most beautiful long and silky hair.
“I admit I thought of backing out. I know you would agree with me when I say that it’s not easy tiptoeing all the way through the finish. My feet trembled already and my legs got numb because it was painful. But, you know, winners never quit. It’s like saving my best for last because I received an award,” said the New Placenta endorser, who was escorted by fellow endorser Mr. Puerto Rico International 2015 Fernando Alvarez.
The Flores de Mayo event started in 1979 in Manila Hotel, and for the last five years, it has been held at SM Mall of Asia. The event, which gathers designers and models, aims to propagate the devotion to Mama Mary and the Holy Child. – Rich M. Salibay
