Many netizens expressed sadness over the phasing out of Jollibee’s Champ burger.
The popular Pinoy fast-food company announced on Twitter last January 2 that they would be removing Champ burger from their menu.
“We wish to inform you that soon, we will be phasing out our Champ burger in all Jollibee branches,” the firm said.
“We are working on big and exciting things this year for our burgers line to delight and bring greater joy to our customers,” it added.
