Popular Filipino fast food chain's Oregon debut is fast approaching
PORTLAND, Ore. () — A popular fast food chain's long-awaited Oregon debut is just days away.
Jollibee has revealed that its new location on 10875 NE Cornell Road in Hillsboro's Tanasbourne Village is set to open on Friday, May 30. Most known for its fried chicken, the food spot also serves chicken sandwiches, burgers, mini pies and more.

The Philippines-founded company opened its first U.S. location in California's Daly City in 1998. In the Pacific Northwest, specifically, Jollibee currently operates three locations — including one in Tukwila's Southcenter Mall. It further expanded into Washington with a Tacoma opening in October 2023 and a Seattle opening in June of last year.
According to leadership, Pacific Northwest expansion is an integral part of the brand's goals to become a $1 billion company by 2028. And opening an Oregon location has been Jollibee's 'dream for a longtime,' Honeybee Foods Corporation's Business Group Head Maribeth Dela Cruz said.
'The Portland metro area has a vibrant food scene that embraces international flavors, so we can't wait to introduce our joyfully unique dining experience to the area's residents and visitors, especially those seeking new and exciting culinary experiences,' Cruz added in the announcement.
The company welcomes locals to camp out overnight for the Hillsboro grand opening, which will offer dine-in and drive-thru service from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

On Friday, the first 50 dine-in customers and first 50 drive-thru customers will receive one year of six-piece Chickenjoy buckets for free. On day two, the first customers will receive a 'Jolly Waves' tote bag. The first arrivals on Sunday will receive a red Jollibee bucket hat.
The fast food spot will launch online orders in the coming weeks.

Scoop: Cruz's $10 billion pitch to Trump on school choice
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is pushing to give controversial pro-school choice measures in the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" an extra boost— taking his pitch straight to President Trump this week, Axios has learned. Why it matters: Reconciliation presents a rare opportunity to pass GOP priorities along party lines. Hill leaders are pushing for as much as they can. Driving the news: Cruz met with Trump at the White House on Thursday along with Reps. Burgess Owens (R-Utah) and Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) who cosponsored the House's version of Cruz's bill. Trump expressed support for their efforts, though did not make any explicit commitments, according to sources familiar with the meeting. The lawmakers were in the Oval Office as the public X feud between Trump and Elon Musk heated up. In the meeting, Trump expressed support for school choice efforts, though did not make any explicit commitments, according to sources familiar. What they're saying: "The President is a supporter of school choice, and has delivered major wins on this issue across the country in states such as Texas," said White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers. "Every child in America deserves access to a quality education that meets their individual needs, regardless of race, ethnicity, income, or zip code," Cruz said in a statement when he introduced his bill. Zoom in: The "One Big Beautiful Bill" already provides up to $5 billion a year in federal tax credits for people who donate to nonprofits that provide scholarships and focus on alternatives to public education. Cruz wants to double that number to $10 billion a year, to match his Universal School Choice Act, which he introduced late last month. The $10 billion a year number has been cut down twice by the House Ways and Means committee. Cruz also wants other adjustments, like removing a limit for families making 300% of their area's median income, ensuring religious schools can benefit and allowing corporations to count donations to groups out of state. Between the lines: Public education advocates are adamantly opposed to such voucher programs, arguing they only benefit wealthy Americans who already can afford to send their kids to private schools, while hurting needed public school funding.

Trump-Musk feud leaves some DOGE staffers worried about their futures: Sources
On the heels of the public war of words between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, anxiety is mounting among the remaining staff of the Musk-founded Department of Government Efficiency, with some staffers worried not only about their future in government but about potentially becoming future targets of the administration, according to sources. Some DOGE staffers still embedded across federal agencies fear that the rift and public mudslinging between Trump and Musk could leave them vulnerable to political retribution and damage their future job prospects, multiple sources familiar with internal discussions told ABC News. Some fear their association with DOGE could make them targets if the feud escalates and Trump moves to investigate the government-slashing initiative that Musk led until he stepped away last week, the sources said. MORE: Trump tells ABC Musk 'lost his mind'; 'not particularly' interested in talking to him Others worry that if Trump distances himself from DOGE, their ties to it could become a professional liability, said sources. ABC News has reached out to the White House for comment. Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, grew close to Trump over the last year as he campaigned for Trump's reelection before helping launch DOGE to try to fulfill Trump's goal of slashing the federal government. A quasi-governmental entity, DOGE has generated controversy as it's shuttered government agencies and gained access to sensitive data. The relationship between the president and the world's richest person erupted into an exchange of insults on social media Thursday as Musk slammed Trump for "ingratitude" over the 2024 election while Trump threatened to "terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts." Amid the spat, War Room host and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of Trump who has been critical of Musk for years, has been calling for the president to launch investigations into the billionaire following Thursday's blowup. "This is a national security issue," Bannon said on his show Thursday. "We're dealing with a very unstable individual out saying dangerous things about the president of the United States. He must be investigated ... and all government contracts should be suspended." Several of Musk's top allies who served as special government employees with Musk, including Steve Davis, his longtime lieutenant and DOGE operational lead, departed DOGE last week along with Musk. But many DOGE employees remain embedded across federal agencies, including at the Office of Personnel Management, Veterans Affairs, Treasury, IRS, and Social Security Administration, sources said. Still, Musk's departure marked a major turning point for DOGE and how it will function day to day, given officials like Davis helped lead the DOGE team on a daily basis for months across the federal government. In Musk's absence, DOGE staff will continue to report to their respective agency leadership, sources said. Last week, the White House said that moving forward the "DOGE leaders are each and every member of the president's cabinet and the president himself." Sources tell ABC News that some DOGE staffers still working inside the federal government have begun looking for jobs elsewhere. And while there is concern among some about their future career prospects, some major tech companies have expressed interest in hiring DOGE alumni -- with companies like Coinbase even creating a dedicated hiring portal specifically recruiting former DOGE staff. MORE: Trump Musk feud explodes with claim president is in Epstein files Despite Trump and Musk's public feud, the president has yet to publicly criticize DOGE during the war of words, and has previously lauded the initiative. At a White House press availability in the Oval Office last week, Trump said Musk "delivered a colossal change in the old ways of doing business in Washington" and described DOGE as "the most sweeping and consequential government reform program in generations". Musk, for his part, downplayed the idea that DOGE needed him to survive as he left the Trump administration last week. "DOGE is a way of life, like Buddhism," he said. "You wouldn't ask the question, 'Who would lead Buddhism?'"
