MANILA, Philippines — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese ate at popular Filipino fast food chain Jollibee during his Manila visit for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Summit on Sunday, saying branches in Australia will open soon.
"Jollibee is coming to Australia. A taste of home for so many Filipino-Australians, opening up right across Sydney and Melbourne. Creating hundreds of jobs and bringing a little more Chickenjoy Down Under,” he said in a Facebook post.
The fast food chain company reportedly signed two franchise agreements to open 35 restaurants across Australia in the next 5 years.
During his visit, the Philippines and Australia saw the signing of a new defense cooperation agreement.
Australia is among the regional dialogue partners of Asean.
