EARLOU BILBAO
Restaurant General Manager
"When I joined KFC as a Restaurant Team Member (RTM), my co-Restaurant Team Members who were representatives for the CHAMPS Challenge inspired me to do my best to become a CHAMPS Challenger too. I thought if they could do it, why can't I?"
"My tenure at KFC taught me many things and changed my perception of work. I am satisfied with the company and the people I work with. I feel that sense of belongingness and real spirit of teamwork that makes me happy, young and energetic everyday."

LENORE P. EVANGELISTA
Senior Research and Development Manager
"I joined KFC fresh out of school and I've been with the company for 13 years. I believe in the brand and KFC's vision as a restaurant operator. I remember what our Chairman said years ago, that we can be the BEST and preferred restaurant for fried chicken, not to mention our other products. I saw how the company grew and I'm proud that I'm a part of it. My love for food and hunger for excellence landed me a leadership position in one of the key departments in the company. KFC has given me opportunities to learn, explore and execute my job well. I am thankful for the support and the counsel of my superiors who I recognize as my mentors."
