For many Filipinos, life is a constant balancing act between work and rest and between responsibilities and hopes. Anthony Celedonio, a 33-year-old rider from Navotas City, starts his day before sunrise and works late into the night. He doesn’t just have one job; he has four. Four jobs mean four chances to earn money for his family and keep going day by day.
“Bago at kasalukuyan po akong may trabaho. Sa umaga ako po ay may part-time, tapos pagdating ng tanghali may side job, at pagdating uli ng hapon may side job uli. Nagtatrabaho ako nang apat na beses sa isang araw.”
(“Currently, I have work. In the morning, I have a part-time job, then by noon, I have a side job, and in the afternoon, I have another side job. I work four times a day.”)
Four shifts a day, every day. Not because he wanted more, but because he needed enough. Enough to pay the bills. Enough to be ready in case illness strikes. Enough to sleep at night without worrying about tomorrow.
That constant worry, the one all too familiar to hardworking Filipinos, began to lift for Celedonio when he became a winner of Merry MLyonaryo, M Lhuillier’s life-changing promo. But reaching that moment wasn’t just luck; it was built on the small, everyday transactions he made through Kwarta Padala. Every remittance, every transfer, was more than a routine task; it was a step closer to hope and to a brighter possibility.
“’Yung hindi ka mag-alala kung magkakasakit ka kinabukasan at ’yung mga bills mo ay mababayaran.”
("So you don’t have to worry about getting sick tomorrow or struggling to pay your bills.")
For someone who has spent years chasing time, that feeling is life-changing.
Celedonio’s story mirrors the quiet strength of countless Filipinos, delivery riders, vendors, employees, and parents, who work tirelessly, trusting that their efforts will someday be rewarded. His win proves that hope can arrive in the middle of ordinary days and that even small chances can lead to life-changing moments.
This same hope continues with MLyonaryo Mania, running from January 25 to April 25. There’s still plenty of time to join, plenty of chances to win, and countless new stories waiting to be written. Somewhere out there, another hardworking Filipino is pushing through long days and longer nights, just like Celedonio once did.
With MLyonaryo Mania, the next winner could be anyone. One Kwarta Padala transaction, or any service with M Lhuillier, can earn you a raffle ticket. Keep transacting, and that next moment could change everything.
