Hav a Happy Sole and go to Brazil for free!

Havaianas, everyone's favorite flip flop brand, will let you and your barkada experience Brazilian culture, taste, and sound...for FREE! Just record a one-minute video of yourself answering the question, "If anything was possible, what would you do to make the world happy for a day?" The most creative entry will receive a 12-day all-expense paid vacation for four to Brazil, cool gadgets from Sony, plus some stylish apparel from Aloha Board Sports and David & Goliath.

Aptly dubbed "Happy Soles will Travel to Brazil," this exciting contest is the brand's way of recognizing the inherent cheerfulness and positive disposition of Filipinos."We wanted to create the happiest possible experience through this unique, luxury vacation to Brazil," says Havaianas Philippines Marketing Director Anne Gonzales.

To introduce the campaign, an event was held at Stock Market Bonifacio High Street--a place that is really nice, white, and filled with cute mini pineapples. Spongebob will hang out here if he were cool. Also, entertaining the crowd was SPIT. Itismyfirsttimetoseethemperformlivesoyuhiamanoob. Anyway, I'm really really excited to join this contest! I'm going Brazilian, yo.
