Anna Meniano, an enthusiastic Shopee employee at SPX Express, lived her dream by meeting her longtime idol, Vice Ganda, thanks to Shopee’s thoughtful initiative.

Since 2009, Anna’s admiration for Vice Ganda has grown immensely, with her family making it an annual tradition to watch the comedian’s movies during the festive Christmas season. When Shopee appointed Vice Ganda as their newest brand representative, an opportunity arose for dedicated employees to meet her. However, Anna initially missed the chance.

Recognizing the festive spirit and the importance of employee satisfaction, Shopee reintroduced the meet-and-greet contest. Anna vividly remembers the moment she hastily responded to the contest announcement while juggling her work commitments. She highlighted her deep connection by sharing how she named her son ‘Zion’ after Vice Ganda’s husband, Ion.

Although Anna remained modest about her chances, her touching story and commitment shone through. Amidst the company’s holiday celebrations, Shopee orchestrated a surprise encounter between Anna and Vice Ganda. Overwhelmed with emotion, Anna shared her sentiments and introduced her son to the beloved celebrity. In response, Vice Ganda expressed genuine appreciation for the support and love from Anna.

This heartfelt event underscores Shopee’s dedication to fostering connections beyond professional ties. By orchestrating such unique experiences, Shopee underscores its commitment to its employees, recognizing their contributions and creating cherished memories.

Anna graciously acknowledged Shopee’s efforts, saying, “I’m deeply grateful to Shopee for turning my dream into reality. Amidst numerous entries, I appreciate being chosen. My heartfelt thanks go to our Shopee Engagement Team for orchestrating this memorable experience.”

In essence, Anna’s touching journey epitomizes Shopee’s mission to inspire joy and innovation within the e-commerce community.
