Consul General Cortes, a fan of the brand itself, hailed Seed Group’s vision of bringing Jollibee and the special brand of Filipino cuisine into the UAE, further noting the unprecedented success of Jollibee in the UAE. He emphasized the special bond Jollibee brings to Filipinos and hoped that the unique Jollibee experience will spread not only to Filipinos in the UAE but to the 200 other ethnicities and nationalities in the country.

Pinoys who were at the venue were in their shorts and slippers with most of them saying they just woke up and went as soon as they knew that Jollibee Satwa has opened. Great thing was most of them live a few steps away from the restaurant.

“Ang saya nga eh kasi ang bilis lang, open na agad yung Satwa (branch). Mas malapit na ‘to sa’min keysa pumunta pa sa Al Ghurair or Burjuman,” Jacquelyn Andres, one of the many who joined the public opening, told The Filipino Times.
