Jollibee Party Package Price for 2014

I posted in this blog, about two years ago, a list of prices for each Jollibee party package. The prices listed in that blog post are already out-dated. It seems like Jollibee is also affected by increasing prices of commodities. The new prices of each Jollibee party package or each food package are higher than its prices two years ago.

Jollibee party package price increase may be bad news for parents who want to celebrate their children’s birthday party at Jollibee. On the bright side, the Jollibee party fee did not increase because it’s still pegged at 1,250 pesos. Also, the medium-sized Jollibee party cake is 900 pesos, similar to its price about two years ago.

The new price listed on this post is for Jollibee party with 30 people (guests and birthday celebrants).

2014 price for Jollibee Party Food Package A:

The Food Package A’s price is 3,930 pesos. It is 90 pesos more expensive than its old price two years ago.

2014 price for Jollibee Party Food Package B:

The Food Package B’s price is 5,250 pesos. It is 120 pesos more expensive than its old price two years ago.

2014 price for Jollibee Party Food Package C:

The Food Package C’s price is 4,800 pesos. It is 120 pesos more expensive than its old price two years ago.

2014 price for Jollibee Party Food Package D:

The Food Package C’s price is 6,090 pesos. It is 180 pesos more expensive than its old price two years ago.

I did not include the “Create Your Own” food package since its price depends on the how you customize it.

Areas Affected by Big Earthquake of Marikina Fault Line

The earthquake that happened in Bohol last month is another eye-opener to Metro Manila citizens. We are as vulnerable as the Boholanos are. According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), a major fault line passes through Metro Manila. This fault line is the West Valley Fault or more popularly known as Marikina Fault Line.

Marikina Fault Line passes through the eastern part of Metro Manila. It passes through Marikina City, Quezon City, Pasig City, Taguig City, Muntilupa City and some towns in the Provinces of Rizal and Laguna. For maps affected by the Marikina Fault Line, please read my post PHIVOLCS Map of Marikina Fault Line Affected Areas.

PHIVOLCS, with the funding from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), conducted a study on earthquake impact reduction for Metro Manila. The study contains information about the earthquake damage scenario for Metro Manila, damage estimation due to earthquake, and a master plan and action plans for safer Metro Manila.

Those who are interested in this research study should visit the Metro Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS) page in PHIVOLCS website.

An interesting information that I saw in the MMEIRS is the map showing the areas that are most vulnerable if Marikina Fault Line will cause a very strong earthquake.

The areas encircled on the map corresponds to the areas listed in the study that is highly vulnerable to earthquakes caused by Marikina Fault Line. Here is the list as shown on the study made by PHIVOLCS.

The list shows that Navotas Bay Area, Western Marikina City Area, Manila North Port Area, Eastern Pasig City Area, South Eastern Manila City Area, Muntinlupa Laguna Bay Area, Central Manila Bay Area, Mandaluyong - Makati City Border Area, and North Eastern Quezon City Area are the most vulnerable areas.

The PHIVOLCS study also made a list of the type of vulnerabilities that the 9 high vulnerable areas may experience if Marikina Fault Line causes a big earthquake. Here is the list:

The MMEIRS is very valuable since it gives us information of the areas that will be severely affected by a big earthquake. All residents of Metro Manila, especially those who are living in the 9 highly vulnerable areas, should keep in mind these information. Let us all prepare and be ready because it is just a matter of time before Marikina Fault Line will cause a big earthquake.
