Bounty Fresh Chicky's Easter Camp!

This Easter season, chicken, eggs, and a big, beautiful, healthy breakfast are the stars of Chicky’s Easter Camp presented by Bounty Fresh. It was a fun day of games, adventures, surprises, and flavorful discoveries for the whole family at Ayala Malls U.P. Town Center, Phase 2 Activity Area, Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City. This fun and learning activity took place last Sunday, April 12, 2026.

Bounty Fresh – the leading, fully integrated poultry company in the Philippines that produces and sells fresh chicken, various meat products and table eggs known for its “no antibiotics ever” chicken production policy – is staging the camp to highlight the importance of breakfast for both young and old.

"Sarap Mornings Basta Breakfast, Bounty Fresh!" locations the brand as the family's preferred breakfast, whether it's packaged as baon for on-the-go or served at home. Bounty Fresh makes mornings easier and better with its tasty, wholesome, and convenient solutions.

In terms of breakfast or baon, Bounty Fresh assists families in serving meals they can be proud of. The campaign promotes the idea that great days begin with great choices.

Kids together with family and friends experienced the joy of the Easter Season at Chicky’s Easter Camp. There’s a mini play area for kids, a Photo Booth, games like Eggy’s Adventure and Breakfast Match, plus freebies and surprise gifts from the booths.

Special guest, actress and certified ka-Bounty Fresh family member, Jolina Magdangal, amp up the fun and share information about how to whip up great tasting and nutritious breakfast fare. Chicky, the beloved Bounty Fresh mascot, made a special appearance, and campers learned about good nutrition too!

A logical continuation of this message is the Easter Camp event. Easter is a time for joy, new beginnings, and family bonding. The ideal times to showcase how Bounty Fresh helps families get off to a good start. We will bring breakfast to life with engaging activities, product experiences, entertaining programs, and a unique meet and greet with Chicky, enhancing brand love and memory during a family-friendly event.
