To celebrate its 60th year in serving (the) Filipinos as a friend whom you can depend on to get through life’s ups and downs, Pioneer is launching an exciting contest entitled “Stories of Friendship Video Competition” to college students nationwide.

Using today’s technology, participants – who are 15 to 24 years old – are encouraged to produce a three-minute (or less!) video showcasing their take on friendship. Whether narrative or music video, it’s up to them how they can put their imagination into reality.
