According to BERNAMA News Agency, LPPKN announced that the collaboration utilizes the popularity of the animated character Papa Zola to deliver family-oriented messages in a creative and engaging manner that resonates with audiences of all ages. This initiative aligns with the National Father's Day celebration's goals of strengthening family bonds and increasing awareness of the importance of close family relationships.
