Capturing the hearts of the Filipino people, Mondelēz International in the Philippines is launching its Valentine’s Day campaigns featuring limited-edition packs for its two-bestselling chocolate brands, Cadbury and Toblerone, to give Filipinos fun and sweet gift ideas for their loved ones this February.

For Valentine’s 2023, Cadbury Dairy Milk’s “Pop Your Heart Out” and Toblerone’s “Give a Thoughtful Gift This Valentine’s” campaigns aim to continue expanding the presence of the brands in the Philippines while leveraging on the role that snacks like chocolates play in consumers’ lives.

Aleli Arcilla, VP and Managing Director, Mondelēz International; and Raf Baradas, Category Lead for Chocolates Mondelēz International.

“Valentine’s Day marks one of the two top gifting seasons in the Philippines. And February has traditionally shown the highest sales for chocolates. Currently we hold the positions for #1 chocolate in Modern Trade with Cadbury Dairy Milk and #1 Gifting brand with Toblerone. This is because chocolates play a crucial role in the lives of Filipinos. We express our love through gifting sweet treats and chocolates are among the top gift choices during the love month,” said Aleli Arcilla, VP and Managing Director, Mondelēz International.

This love month, Cadbury and Toblerone chocolates are enhanced with love-themed packaging.

“For Cadbury, we have a limited edition ‘Pop Your Heart Out’ chocolate bars. When you open the chocolate bar, there will be a heart-shaped chocolate in the middle that you can pop out. Another unique way to share your love is through our 3D paper heart that you can give to your dearest one,” said Raf Baradas, Category Lead for Chocolates of Mondelēz International.

For its Toblerone bar, it comes with a special packaging. “We did a play around its sleeves, wherein one can pull a tab and write heartfelt messages for an even more thoughtful surprise. You don’t need to wrap it anymore. You can already put your message on it,” Baradas added.

“The design innovation is quite subtle, but it is very romantic and sweet,” Arcilla continued.

The special, limited-edition Cadbury and Toblerone packs are available at leading supermarkets and while supplies last.

On February 4, Cadbury will also hold a #PopYour HeartOut Valentine’s 2023 mall activation at Glorietta 2 Activity Center. There will be instagram-worthy displays, live music, and delicious chocolates at the mall event.

Get a Delicious Immunity Boost with Tropicana Twister

There’s something special about oranges that lifts one’s mood. Oranges represent bursts of vitality to brighten one’s day, from the fruit’s vibrant color or its sweet-tart taste.

Managing one’s exertion amidst significant weather changes contribute to the increased risk of catching the common cold and the flu. Medical professionals recommend making mindful lifestyle updates to boost immunity and prevent illness. Health journals also note the effect of adding oranges to the daily diet, as these fruits are packed with vitamins and minerals. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps lower the risk of cell damage and enhance the immune system. Oranges are also rich in B vitamins that help convert food to energy and regulate brain functions.

Well-loved brands like Tropicana Twister makes getting one’s daily dose of vitamins easier. Available through Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the country’s exclusive distributor of PepsiCo beverages, Tropicana Twister is made with real orange juice squeezed from fresh-picked oranges.

“Tropicana Twister is the ideal of taste and nutrition. Every bottle is packed with vitamins for a healthy immune system. Tropicana Twister helps keep us refreshed and well, especially during the rainy season,” said Frederick Ong, PCPPI president and chief executive officer.

“Keeping ourselves healthy remains a responsibility we must uphold, especially with more people returning to their offices or attending in-person classes. It has become more crucial to nourish our bodies with vitamins to keep us strong. Adding orange juice to one’s diet is among the easiest ways to do this. With Tropicana Twister, we enjoin everyone to continue having the zest for life,” Ong added. Tropicana Twister is available in stores nationwide.

PCPPI is the exclusive manufacturer of Tropicana and other well-known beverage brands like Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Sting, Gatorade, Lipton, Aquafina, Premier, and Milkis. For more information about PCPPI and its products, please visit pepsiphilippines.com.

Jollibee Group Restaurants Named Among America’s Favorite Restaurant Chains

More wins for the Jollibee Group, as four of its brands made it to the list of America’s Favorite Restaurant Chains for 2023. Newsweek, a premier news magazine and website, together with global data firm Statista, named Jollibee, Chowking, Smashburger, and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) as among the best in their selected categories.

“We are honored that our brands are included in this list of most favorite restaurant chains in the United States. We thank our customers for their continued support, resulting in this citation that inspires us even more in our mission of serving great-tasting food, bringing the joy of eating to everyone,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Jollibee Group President and CEO.

The 2023 ranking was determined based on the results of an independent survey among over 4,000 customers and employees of restaurant chains in the United States. The respondents were asked to indicate which restaurant chains would they recommend among three ethnic cuisines and 13 dish categories.

The three ethnic cuisines include Chinese, Italian, and Tex-Mex; while the 13 dish categories consist of BBQ, burgers, chicken, coffee/tea/baked goods, ice cream/frozen yogurt, juice and smoothies, noodles and ramen, pizza, sandwiches, seafood, soup, steak, and Sushi.

Jollibee was cited in the chicken category, Smashburger for burgers, CBTL for tea and coffee, and Chowking for Chinese cuisine category.

According to Statista, all ratings were transformed into a score value and aggregated towards a final score. The survey respondents rated their experience with the restaurant chains using these nine assessment criteria: taste, cleanliness, hygiene and COVID-19 measures, transparency about ingredients, location, dealing with environmental issues, accessibility, service quality, and treatment of employees.

To receive an award, a restaurant chain needed to receive a minimum number of recommendations and an overall score of at least 7 out of 10. In addition, a restaurant chain was required to have at least three locations across different cities within at least two U.S. states.

An Educational and Exciting Interactive Wine and Dine Experience at The Cellar

Grand Hyatt Manila launches its latest unique wine-tasting experience, Le Grand Casino du Vin at The Cellar, which translates to The Grand Casino of Wines. Entertaining, educational and rewarding, this wine-and-dine experience includes a 4-course specially-curated dinner set menu with a glass of red and white wine and 12 playing chips at PHP 3,000 net per person. The event will be available every 1^st and 3^rd Wednesday of the month from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, starting 1 February 2023.

Le Grand Casino du Vin is akin to the game of roulette where guests can bet their chips when they play at any of the three themed wine game tables, which guarantees to test their knowledge about wines, awaken their senses or simply rely on luck. The guests will move from one table to another at the whim of their desire, explore the different themes, and learn a lot about wines while having fun. This event is in collaboration with AWC Philippines, one of the largest wine distributors in the country.

Game Themes:

The Type of Wine

Is it red, white or rosé? Participants will have to use their sense of smell and taste to guess the mystery wine. Mystery wine will be poured into a black, opaque wine glass by our host where players can bet what type of wine it is based on their knowledge and senses. The host will reveal the wine by pouring it into a clear glass and the player who guesses the right answer will win the game.

The Aromas of Wine

In this game, players will have to use their sense of smell. The host will present vials of different scents from fruity to floral and the players will guess which wine scent was given to them. With more than 50 options on the board, participants will have to place their bets on the closest scent they think matches.

The Wine Regions

Is it from the old world or the new world? Participants of this game will take their taste buds around the world as they travel through wines. Guests will have to determine where the wine comes from by carefully observing, smelling and tasting. Players will place their bets from all the wine-producing regions presented in front of them.

Surrounded by glass-enclosed wine cellars and intimate lighting, The Cellar is one of Grand Hyatt Manila’s most sought-out intimate dining outlets which specializes in tapas and small plates, best paired with the hotel’s selection of creative cocktails, handcrafted beers and premium wines. Patrons have been coming over to this restaurant for its best-selling succulent Kurobuta and scrumptious paella. The Cellar is open daily from 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM.

For inquiries and reservations, call (63 2) 8838 1234 or email manila.grand@hyatt.com. For updates on the hotel’s latest promotions, follow Grand Hyatt Manila on Instagram @grandhyattmanilaph and on Facebook, www.facebook.com/GrandHyattManilaPh.
