Pregnant Mom Rona Jane Juco, Second P1M Winner in Shopee Milyonaryo

Pregnant Mom Second P1M Win in Shopee Milyonaryo

26-year-old Rona Jane Juco from San Fernando, Pampanga is the second winner in two days for the Shopee Milyonaryo jackpot prize. Being a pregnant mother is challenging enough, but being one during a pandemic is even more daunting. 

Rona Jane Juco is a 26-year-old pregnant woman who lives in San Fernando, Pampanga, with her husband and their child. She works as a cashier at a furniture store, while her husband works as a helper. 

With her new baby due next week, Rona feels apprehensive about giving birth while the world is in chaos. She and her husband also worry that they might not have enough funds to support their baby since they had to stop working for three months during the quarantine. 

Despite being immunocompromised as a pregnant woman, Rona is determined to continue working as much as she can to earn more money.

“Nakakatakot kasi may ganitong sitwasyon, pero ‘di naman ako pwedeng huminto sa trabaho kasi baka mas mahirapan. Gusto ko rin pong tulungan ‘yung mga kakilala ko na nahihirapan ngayong pandemic.” ~Rona Jane Juco, Second P1M Winner in Shopee Milyonaryo

Rona started watching Wowowin while in quarantine. She has now taken to watching the show during lulls at work and often leaves comments for Kuya Will to call her. And last November 10, he did so unexpectedly—while she was on a jeepney on the way home from work! 

It was Rona’s second time to try out for Shopee Milyonaryo. While talking to Kuya Will, she flagged the jeepney driver to let her out. It was while she was on the streets of San Fernando that she won P1M. 

Rona has plenty of plans for her cash prize. She wants to use the money to finish construction on their house, set up a rice retailing business and a sari-sari store, and of course, prepare for her baby’s arrival. Rona also wants to show her appreciation to her mother-in-law, who takes her child in while she and her husband are out working.
