    Make Your Pinoy Dad Smile with foodpanda Deals for Their Personality Type

    Pinoy dads are known to be really good at MATH—as in, merienda, almusal, tanghalian, and hapunan! To celebrate tatay’s love for good food, drink, and more, foodpanda is offering a wide range of deals that will fit your dad’s unique personality. Treat your dad to the celebration he deserves this Father’s Day!

    Fathers Day KV

    For the “cash na lang” dad

    Sometimes our lives get too busy that finding the perfect gift for your dad becomes difficult, so we ask him directly. However, Pinoy dads often say he doesn’t want anything—or at best, he’d want some cash to put into his latest hobby or to beef up his hidden-from-nanay savings fund!

    If your papa is like this, foodpanda has the best deal for you. Simply use the code BESTDAD with your food delivery, pick-up, pandamart, and foodpanda shops (min. spend P1499) from June 15 to 17 to enjoy P500 cashback! Again, another two-for-one gift that your makunat dad will definitely love. Just make sure you give dad that P500 you get back in a nice envelope when your mom’s not looking.

    For the tagay tatay

    Dads deserve to let their hair down every once in a while, with a cold glass of their favorite liquor in hand and enjoying the company of their family and friends. And when he’s slightly buzzed, it’s time to plug in the microphone for his soulful rendition of his favorite song! 

    To make Father’s Day extra festive, foodpanda has you covered in the libation department. pandamart is having an alcohol sale from June 12 to 16, with up to 50% off on drinks such as Johnny Walker, San Miguel, Heineken, and more. This means that you get more bang for your buck—and your tatay and titos will definitely be impressed with your contribution to the tagay stash.

    For the Boy Scout dad

    Pinoy dads take their responsibility to protect and provide for their families seriously. This means a lot of thought goes into making sure that he’s prepared for almost every scenario—whether it be bad weather or a bad case of the midnight munchies. You can easily add to your dad’s “just in case” pantry essentials with our Father’s Day deals.

    Simply pick out all the items you think dad would need or want and get up to 50% off on groceries and more from pandamart, Robinsons Supermarket, Puregold, Shell Select, and Watsons, among others from June 15 to 17.

    For the diskarte dad

    Nothing beats a Pinoy dad’s diskarte—he’s creative and clever in raising his family. We’ve laughed at and shared his diskarte on social media, like fixing household items and appliances. Now, let’s step up and make him proud with our own diskarte, using additional vouchers from foodpanda’s bank partners.

    Use your UnionBank Credit Card for your food delivery and pick-up orders (min. P650 spend) and get P200 off from June 14 to 16 with code UBMOREDAD. GCash users can use code PANDADDY to get a variety of deals with their foodpanda purchases from June 14 to 20.

    Order now at foodpanda using the app or at www.foodpanda.ph to celebrate dad, papa, and tatay this Father’s Day!

  • Filipino Heritage Brand Bo’s Coffee Brews Exciting Surprises for Independence Month

    Filipino Heritage Brand Bo’s Coffee Brews Exciting Surprises for Independence Month

    Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas!

    Bo’s Coffee, the country’s largest homegrown coffee chain, celebrates Philippine Independence Month with this cheery greeting, encouraging us to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed Philippine Coffee. Founded in June 1996 and now on its 28th year, Bo’s Coffee serves world-class Philippine Coffee Origins single origin beans sourced all over the country, from Atok in Benguet to Mt. Matutum in South Cotabato, staying true to their mission of putting the spotlight on Philippine Coffee.

    “We source our coffee beans around the country and work with social enterprise partners. We champion Philippine Coffee of world-class quality, highlighted and served in our locations both locally and globally,” says Rachel Fallarme, Bo’s Coffee’s Senior VP and Chief Operating Officer.

    Supporting Local Coffee Communities

    Since opening in Cebu City 28 years ago, Bo’s Coffee has supported local coffee farming communities by funding the construction of coffee mills, making the production process more efficient and improving harvest yield.

    Bos Coffee Team

    In September 2023, Bo’s Coffee partnered with The Dream Coffee in establishing a coffee mill in T’Boli, South Cotabato. Operational within just two months by November 2023, the mill, located in Barangay T’Bolok, T’Boli, South Cotabato, has become a pivotal hub for processing coffee from T’Boli, Lake Sebu, and surrounding provinces like Sultan Kudarat.

    The Dream Coffee x Bo’s Coffee Mill includes essential components such as a drying house, outdoor drying beds, a processing area, storage facilities, and utility rooms. The coffee mill has led to a 275% surge in production, provided employment for 12 individuals during construction, 28 seasonal coffee processors, and 2 permanent mill workers. For the 2023/2024 harvest season, Dream Coffee collaborated with 50 farmers from 5 communities in T’Boli and 1 in Lake Sebu.

    “What I appreciate the most about working with Bo’s Coffee is that they really walk their talk. They don’t just partner with community-focused enterprises to generate surface-level talking points. I’ve seen firsthand that they make these investments, because they want to contribute to felt impact in the lives of Filipino coffee producers,” says Larissa Joson, The Dream Coffee founder.

    “We take immense pride in promoting Philippine specialty coffee and remain committed to fostering further development through partnerships with similar projects like the Kalsada x Bo’s Coffee Mill in Sitio Kisbong, Benguet. We look forward to serving the new harvest in our nationwide locations, soon,” Fallarme explains.

    “In 2019, Bo’s Coffee and Kalsada agreed to invest in a community processing mill in Sitio Kisbong, Atok, Benguet. The goal was to create a hub where farmers can bring their harvest within their own community, receive payment right away with a fair price, and learn proper processing techniques. Back in 2019, the project increased the average farmers’ income by as much as 48% compared to the old practice of selling to middlemen and traders,” says Tere Domine, co-founder and Country Manager of Kalsada Coffee.

    A Celebration of Local Flavors

    As part of their Philippine Independence Month celebration, Bo’s Coffee held a Coffee Appreciation event with select members of the media and key online influencers in Cebu where it was founded, focusing on Philippine Coffee Origins through a coffee appreciation and brewing session with its coffee master, Jason Carl Vasquez. “We featured specialty coffee from our social enterprise partners, Kalsada and The Dream Coffee, with Tere Domine and Larissa Joson sampling their coffee beans,” says Laine Vallar, Bo’s Coffee’s Assistant VP and Director of Marketing.

    Bos Coffee Peanut Butter Mocha Froccino

    Nationwide, the heritage coffee brand will launch its “Magandang Umaga, Pilipinas” Independence Month campaign, offering limited-time beverages for its anniversary month. Their Frozen Bliss series is a collaboration with another well-loved Filipino brand, Lily’s Peanut Butter. “Our limited-time offer beverages are Iced Peanut Butter Foam Latte and Peanut Butter Mocha Froccino. These beverages combine our bestselling mocha variant with the smooth creaminess of Lily’s Peanut Butter, evoking nostalgic childhood afternoons of peanut butter sandwich snacks with friends and family,” says Vallar.

    Bos Coffee Frozen Bliss series

    Bo’s Coffee also has their much-awaited annual Anniversary Caffeine Rush promotion, featuring P100 Medium Froccinos every Friday from 3 to 6 pm, from June 21 to July 19 on selected Froccinos except Mocha and their seasonal Froccinos.

  • Experience The Best Of British Theater A Second Time Around with New CCP NTL Season

    Experience The Best Of British Theater A Second Time Around with New CCP NTL Season

    A bigger, brighter, and bolder second season of the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ National Theatre Live (CCP NTL) is set to delight its devoted Filipino audiences with a new lineup of world-class stage plays filmed live from Britain’s most exciting stages.

    After a successful first season boasting waves of support from theater enthusiasts, playwrights, artists, and the broader public, the CCP National Theatre Live forges on to provide yet another exceptional ‘live’ performance experience with the best of what British theatre has to offer in more cinemas near you.

    Through the partnership of the CCP with National Theatre Live and Ayala Malls, the second season of CCP NTL will premiere at Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati, Vertis North in Quezon City, and at the Ayala Center in Cebu from June 25, 2024 to May 27, 2025.

    Award-winning plays Vanya, Dear England, The Motive and Cue, and Nye will grace the big screens in the Philippines. 

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 Vanya

    Crowd favorites Fleabag, King Lear, Frankenstein, and Hamlet from the past season will make their comeback. 

    Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in Vanya, a one-man adaptation premiering on June 25 at the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati. Exploring the complexities of human emotion, Andrew Scott brings multiple characters to life in Chekhov’s Uncle masterpiece, filmed live in West End, London. 

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 Dear England

    Returning on June 25 at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu is Fleabag, a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series with the same title was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019. 

    On July 30, James Graham’s Dear England arrives at the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati. With the worst track record for penalties in the world, Gareth Southgate knows he needs to open his mind and face up to the years of hurt, to take the team and country back to the promised land.

    The contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play King Lear will be re-screened on July 30 at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu. Considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written, King Lear sees two aging fathers – one a King and another, his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends. The play is directed by Jonathan Munby and stars Sir Ian McKellen. 

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 Fleabag

    In Jack Thorne’s The Motive and Cue, audiences are offered a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity. Coming to Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati on August 27, Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, will play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theater collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 King Lear

    Theater lovers and moviegoers at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu will have the chance to see Vanya on August 27.

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 Frankenstein

    Directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle, with adaptation by Nick Dear, Frankenstein will return to the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati on September 24. The thrilling, deeply disturbing Mary Shelley classic combines scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil. Child-like in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 Hamlet

    Captured live on stage in 2011, the sold-out production stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller, alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation. For September 24, Miller will be playing as the Creature.

    The Motive and Cue will be shown at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu on September 24.

    Come October 30, Fleabag will return to the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati for the third time. Frankenstein, this time with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature, will premiere at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu on same day. 

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 The Motive and Cue

    Witness Nye’s mind-bending life journey on November 26 at the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati.

    In Tim Price’s opus, Aneurin “Nye” Bevan confronted death in the eye, as he recollects his deepest memories from his childhood to mining underground, and his fights with Churchill. 

    CCP NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE S2 Nye

    Benedict Cumberbatch plays the title role of yet another great Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet, premiering on November 26, at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu. As the country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state. The play is directed by Lyndsey Turner.

    Closing the 2024 CCP NTL’s lineup, Hamlet will return to the Ayala Malls Cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati on December 17. Dear England will premiere on the same day at Ayala Vertis North and Ayala Center Cebu.

    Witness the magic of London National Theatre through CCP National Theatre Live. First launched in June 2009, the National Theater Live is a groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre live from the London stage to cinemas across the United Kingdom, around the world, and now in the Philippine shore. 

    Digitally filmed in high-definition quality, the NTL films their plays in front of live theater audiences, but optimized for the big screen and made accessible to theater fans across the globe.

    All screenings will be at 6:00pm, exclusively at Ayala Malls cinemas in Greenbelt, Makati, Vertis North in Quezon City, and at the Ayala Center in Cebu. Regular ticket price is at ₱300.00 in Makati and Cebu, and ₱350 in Vertis North, while special ticket price for students is at ₱150.00.

    This new season also brings exciting bundles and subscriptions for dedicated NTL fans. Audiences in groups can avail the Barkada Pass for ₱1200 which includes five tickets at the price of four, while students can avail the Barkada Pass Student bundle at ₱600. Subscriptions for the full season cost ₱2500 and ₱1500 for the half season, allowing audiences 30% and 20% discounts respectively.

    The Philippines’ First World Cat Show this June 14-15 and many meow-rrrr to come by World Cat Federation (SFEPI) co-presented by Hard Rock Cafe Manila

    Cat Moms and Dads are in for a flurry of fun feline activities as the Society of Feline Enthusiasts of the Philippines, Inc. (SFEPI) and the World Cat Federation (WCF) present The Philippines’ First World Cat Show on June 14 to 15 (2-day event) at the 5th Floor of One Ayala Mall. This event is free to the public and is co-presented by Hard Rock Cafe Manila.

    Dont miss the Philippines First World Cat Show this June 14 15 at One Ayala Mall

    The WCF World Cat Show is a prestigious competition that celebrates the ‘best’ and most beautiful cats from various breeds, representing the pinnacle of feline breeding and care. They will be judged on their physical attributes, grooming, and overall presence. With sleek coats, striking eyes, and elegant postures, these cats are a testament to the dedication and passion of their owners and breeders.

    This landmark of an event is set to gather cat enthusiasts from around the globe to witness a spectacular showcase of feline beauty, talent, and excellence and is expected to attract around 150 to 200 cats from over 15 countries, showcasing a diverse array of feline breeds and fostering international camaraderie among cat enthusiasts. This global representation underscores the event’s prestige and the Philippines’ growing prominence in the international cat community.

    1st WCF World Cat Show in the Philippines

    During the event, the cats will participate in a series of competitions within the WCF Ring, where they will be judged on various criteria including beauty, temperament, and adherence to breed standards. The WCF Ring is a specialized judging area where the most outstanding cats compete for top honors. These competitions not only highlight the physical beauty of the cats but also showcase their unique talents and behaviors, making for an engaging and entertaining spectacle.

    Key features of the event are the “Best of Best” (top cat in each category) and “Best General” (overall champion) awards.  These coveted titles represent the highest accolades a cat can receive in the competition, signifying their exemplary qualities and superior standards.

    WCF SFEPI SHOWS

    Winners will receive trophies, certificate titles, cat supplies from generous donors and brand sponsors, and special prizes for various categories such as Best Kitten, Best Junior, Best Adult, and Best Neuter Category. These awards not only honor the cats but also recognize the hard work and dedication of their owners and breeders.

    Hard Rock Cafe Manila- a staunch supporter and advocate

    The event is co-presented by Hard Rock Cafe Manila, which was also a sponsor for the Cebu leg of International Cat Show held in Mandaue City. Hard Rock Cafe is a strong advocate for the welfare of stray animals in the country. Its dynamic partnership with SFEPI has a “purr-pose” as a portion of event proceeds are donated to the animals under the care of Island Rescue Organization (IRO) in Mandaue City, which is committed to re-homing animals into loving families and to finding innovative ways to promote long-term solutions to lessen the population of stray dogs and cats.  Recently, Hard Rock Cafe Manila and Hard Rock Cafe Makati also donated P40,000 to IRO in line with the cafe’s Hearts and Tails Campaign. 

    The Philippines First World Cat Show this June 14 15 1

    Hard Rock Cafe Philippines Director of Operations Mr. Brian Peck says, “We are very supportive of organizations that keep these animals safe and protected. This is one of our programs under our company values that are incorporated into our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. Social purpose is at the core of Hard Rock Cafe’s values that are guided by the four founding mottos: Love All Serve All, All Is One, Save The Planet and Take Time To Be Kind. We hope to see more cat lovers come together at the WCF World Show event.”
