Meanwhile, Lechon Belly Kitchen brings a taste of Filipino fiesta right to your table with its perfectly roasted lechon belly. A taste of tradition that’s synonymous with celebration in every Filipino household, this dish promises to turn any meal into a grand feast. Shoppers may also try Kain’s famous Lechon Bagnet and Grilled Liempo, along with Angus Pares’ Mami. Don’t miss Natividad by Kamay Kainan’s must-try Fried Hito and Tilapia, available at SM Foodcourt. 


Liberty Wings brings a fun twist with its flavorful chicken wings. Try their buffalo wings for a spicy kick, or opt for the honey garlic for a sweet and savory treat. Foodies can also explore the taste of Ramen Menzo, where traditional ramen dishes get a festive flair. 

No holiday feast would be complete without a taste of traditional Chinese cuisine. David’s Tea House Express brings the authentic taste of Chinese cuisines to the table. Their dim sum, dumplings, buns, and rolls offer a little bit of everything. Don’t miss their fried squid with salt and pepper—a standout dish you must try.

So, as the first notes of “Jingle Bells” start to play, remember that the true joy of the holiday season begins with great food and even greater company. Celebrate at SM Foodcourt, where every meal is a reason to smile and every bite is a taste of happiness.

Jollibee calls all families to spend time together this joyful Christmas season


The country’s number one fast food chain Jollibee reminds us that amid all the fun activities and many obligations that the holidays bring, Christmas should always be about cherishing and spending time with the people who matter most.


Due to the many preparations that need to be done and celebrations that need to be attended to, some people become so busy that they do not get to spend as much time with their families anymore. But even if it’s the most wonderful time of the year, nothing makes Christmas more meaningful and joyful than spending quality time with the family, even beyond the usual Misa Del Gallo and Noche Buena. Family bonding especially during the holiday season fosters a generally happier atmosphere, creates precious and lasting memories, and strengthens deep relationships.

Jollibee delivers this message of love during the busiest season through a heartwarming TVC featuring its best-selling Chickenjoy.



“This video is our call to all Filipino families to spend quality time and cherish these moments with one another this Christmas,” said Cathleen Capati, Jollibee AVP for Flagship Category. “It’s easy to get caught up in our individual lives, responsibilities, and social gatherings, but one thing to always remember is that our most treasured memories of Christmas are the ones with family. And to make this time even more joyful, families can bring home a bucket of our best-selling Chickenjoy, a Filipino favorite for kids and adults alike.”

Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the perfectly-seasoned Chickenjoy is a delicious and simple way for families to celebrate Christmas together. With a 6-pc. bucket for only PHP 370.00, they can gather around the dining table and dig in the Chickenjoy goodness together with big smiles on their faces.

“With the help of Chickenjoy, families can be left with full and happy hearts and tummies, and truly savor the message: ang Paskong kasama ang pamilya, ang Paskong pinakamasarap,” Capati added.


Celebrate Christmas with family and the one and only crispylicious, juicylicious, and gravylicious Chickenjoy, available for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and drive-thru in all Jollibee stores nationwide.

Vivo Philippines, in the true spirit of a Filipino Christmas, decides to give back to the heroic deeds of the soldiers who fought in Marawi by spending the afternoon with them last December 17 at the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Hospital in V. Luna, Quezon City. 


The special outreach affair was attended to by Vivo employee-volunteers who interacted with the 150 soldiers and their families and entertained them with song and dance performances. The brand’s celebrity influencers were also in attendance to give joy and encouragement to the Marawi freedom fighters. KZ Tandingan, Darren Espanto, Jason Dy, and Kisses Delavin also shared their talent in one afternoon of gratitude-giving, to the delight of the soldiers and their families.

Brand Director for Vivo Philippines Annie Lim, who was also present at the affair, shared her respect for these courageous soliders. “The soldiers who fought in Marawi are more than heroes--they are also fathers, sons, brothers, friends who placed their life on the line in the name of things that matter most to every Filipino: togetherness that goes beyond religion and love that knows no boundaries.” she said.

Family, togetherness, empathy, and the spirit of giving make a Filipino Christmas like no one else in the world.

Christmas gift ideas under 1000 and 2500


Still looking for budget-friendly gifts for your loved ones or for yourself for being extra nice this year? Check this out and get ready for Christmas!

It’s the season of gift giving, and one of the most grueling parts of the holidays has finally come upon us – choosing just what to buy for our loved ones! While the amount we spend on someone shouldn’t reflect how we feel about them, it’s still important to be able to budget our spending on gifts.
Along these lines, we’ve prepared some great gift ideas for your loved ones that we’ve laid out into two popular budget ranges. 

Under Php2500

Good earphones
The gift of high-quality music is precious. So do a little research and find a pair of great earphones that’s within budget for your music-loving friends.

Fountain pen
Once you’ve tried a fountain pen, you’ll never want to go back. Fountain pens are characterized by an incredible smoothness in the way they write, and will last forever if you take care of them. You can get a really great fountain pen for Php1000-1500 – throw in a bottle of ink for about Php300-500 and you’re still under the budget!



Prepaid healthcare – Php2199/1599


They say that gifts are a way of showing someone that you care about them. You can translate that thoughtfulness into literal care with the MyMaxicare LITE prepaid healthcard! For a one-time payment of Php2199, the recipient of this gift can get up to Php25,000 coverage for any of 8 common diseases – dengue, chikungunya, malaria, typhoid and paratyphoid, cholera, gastroenteritis, leptospirosis, and pneumonia – valid for 1 year, and for patients between ages 2 and 60 years old. Cardholders are covered for room and board, lab tests, professional fees and more, and even get additional discounts at select health services. You can also opt for a Php1599 card that has all of these benefits, though excluding access to major hospitals.

 

Under Php1000

Power bank
A good power bank with a thin and light profile but a big capacity like 5000 or 10000mAh will help your loved ones stay in touch with you – or at least allow them to play a few more rounds of Candy Crush.

Dashcam
These little dashboard-mounted cameras are soon going to be an essential part of driving around the slow and furious streets of the Philippines. They’re an amazing gift for anyone who drives regularly.



Prepaid healthcare – Php549/749
Even at this lower price range, you can find great prepaid healthcare options. Maxicare’s EReady prepaid health card provides up to Php15,000 coverage on emergency medical conditions, inclusive of ER fees, dressings, casts, and sutures, IV fluids and blood products, and more. It’s valid for up to 1 year from the activation date, and cardholders are eligible if they are between the ages of 15 days old and 65 years old. EReady can be purchased for a one-time payment of Php749 for access to major hospitals, and Php549 without this access.


Prepaid healthcare services

With Maxicare’s EReady and MyMaxicare LITE prepaid cards, the HMO opens up new, more flexible opportunities for Filipinos who can’t afford the monthly dues for a more traditional healthcare plan. These innovative programs ensure that a greater number of people are able to access healthcare, leaving no one behind when it comes to what matters most.
To buy Maxicare prepaid healthcards, just log on to www.maxicareprepaidhealthcare.com.ph.
EReady and MyMaxicare Lite are also available in all Robinsons Department Stores (Business Center) nationwide and via IRemit.
