Five Dad-approved meals perfect for Father’s Day

Father’s Day is coming up this weekend, and while the current public health situation means we can’t go out and celebrate as we used to, it won’t stop us from enjoying our family’s company. 

Celebrating Father’s Day under the New Normal entails that we have to be more mindful about physical distancing, including staying at home as much as possible. So if you’re looking for ways to honor Dad this coming Sunday, having a nice family lunch or dinner with great food from his favorite restaurants is a great idea. 

You can easily organize Father's Day celebrations from the comfort of your own home as most restaurants today already accept online transactions. And with PayMaya, paying for your orders is not only much easier, it is also more rewarding. 

Pay for your meals using only the mobile number registered to your PayMaya account for an added layer of convenience and security. With this payment option from PayMaya, you no longer have to input your card details on the website which makes paying much quicker and easier. By paying online, you also avoid the risk caused by cash handling. And when you pay with PayMaya, you can even enjoy 1%, 10%, or 100% BalikBayad on your order.  

Here are five Dad-approved restaurants you can conveniently order from and pay with your PayMaya mobile number: 

1.     Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings (https://frankiesnywings.com/) 

Everybody loves chicken wings, and the best part about Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings is that you can mix and match as many flavors as you want. Share and bond over dozens of Dad’s and the whole family’s favorite wing flavors to your heart’s desire—and if you haven’t tried Frankie’s yet, you should start off with the Frankie’s Classic Buffalo and Garlic Parmesan flavors, and pair it with their onion rings! 

2.     Army Navy (https://armynavy.com.ph/) 

If Dad’s in the mood for burgers or burritos, then you can’t go wrong with ordering from Army Navy, which is now available for delivery. Get him a California Burger, and throw in an extra patty for a double if he’s got a big appetite. And if he wants a burrito, how about ordering a steak or sisig burrito for good measure? The possibilities are limitless! 

3.     Central Delivery (https://centraldelivery.ph/) 

Central Delivery is the hub of all your favorite food - from Popeyes’ famous fried chicken and biscuits to Kuya J’s crispy pata and halo-halo, along with your favorites at Landers Central, Da Gianni, and Dough & Co. Whatever cuisine your family members are craving for, you can easily order them at Central Delivery.  
 

4.     Soban K-Town Grill (http://www.soban.ph/) 

Who hasn’t missed Korean samgyupsal buffets during the quarantine? Fortunately, Soban K-Town Grill is able to deliver their famed barbecue meats straight to your home. If you miss the samgyupsal experience, go for their BBQ Sets—either the Mega Meat or Favorite Feast BBQ Sets will satisfy your Korean barbecue craving. You can also order the barbecue meats a la carte if everyone wants more! 

5.     Boozy (https://boozy.ph/) 

What’s a Father’s Day celebration without drinks? Celebrate the company of family with Dad’s favorite liquor; no matter what it is, you can find it and have it delivered to your home through Boozy. Or if you’d prefer, you can suggest something new for him to appreciate—how about trying a smooth and easy drink like Hennessy VS? 

For your daily cravings, you can also use your PayMaya mobile number to pay for your online orders at McDonald’s, Goldilocks, and Domino’s Pizza. If you’re looking for a quick fastfood fix, checkout Jollibee, Burger King, Chowking, Mang Inasal, and Red Ribbon on Facebook and order your favorite meals via Facebook Messenger. Don't forget to pay with PayMaya!

Paying with your PayMaya mobile number is easy. All you have to do is follow these simple steps: 

1. Order your meals at the website of your chosen restaurant. 
2. Proceed to checkout and choose the online payment/credit card option.

RYAN AGONCILLO WILL RALLY TALENTED FILIPINOS THROUGH BANGON TALENTADONG PINOY

During this pandemic, more and more Filipinos are turning to their many skills and talents to bounce back. Just as we weathered many typhoons, earthquakes, even volcanic eruptions, Filipinos always find a way around whatever crisis – oftentimes even with smiles on their faces. For us, resilience is not just a trait, it’s a talent. And now, there is a digital and television program that celebrates the many ways Filipinos are proving this: BANGON TALENTADONG PINOY hosted by Ryan Agoncillo.

Based on the #1 hit program Talentadong Pinoy that dominated TV ratings from 2008-2014, BANGON TALENTADONG PINOY will again showcase the wide diversity of Filipino talent. And this time, boasting a total cash prize of P2.8 Million, a larger number of contestants can win anywhere from P2,000 to P5,000 to P50,000 even up to P250,000!

Original Talentadong Pinoy host Ryan Agoncillo returns to host the program – which will now be seen both online and on television via Cignal’s new free-to-air channel, OneTV! “Now, more than ever, people need a show like this,” Ryan explained. “At first I wasn’t keen on doing something that I have already done before, but I was convinced when I heard the new concept for the show and the goal of bringing hope and financial reward to people at a time when they need it most.”

To join, contestants just need to like the BANGON TALENTADONG PINOY Facebook page, then through a private message to the page, they can send their videos of their performance – be it a solo, duo or group performance. If the video is too big, they can also send links of their videos. If they are shortlisted by the Selection Committee, they will be contacted and be given further details.

BANGON TALENTADONG PINOY will be produced by Cignal TV through The IdeaFirst Company. The original team of Talentadong Pinoy will return: from director Rich Ilustre, writer Paolo

 

 

Bustamante and producers Perci Intalan, Malou Escio-Gascon and Dacky Dacanay. But this time creative direction will come from acclaimed filmmaker Jun Robles Lana. BANGON TALENTADONG PINOY is currently screening contestants and will go into production this July.

Westendorp de Brias paintings and religious art are top sellers at Casa de Memoria auctions

Exquisite oil paintings by revered Spanish artist Betsy Westendorp de Brias titled, "Crystal Palace,"  and “Summer Nights,” fetched a total price of over Php3 million at Casa de Memoria's inaugural online sale, titled Primero and Segundo. The successful two-day virtual event marked the auction house's fourth anniversary and was held for the benefit of Sta. Ana Hospital to help COVID-19 patients.

Aside from the inspired paintings, religious iconographies were also among the top-selling lots during the auction, with four lots collectively raking in over Php 1.3 million. Some highlights among the ecclesiastical art at the auctions were a painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe, another painting titled, "Adoration of The Magi," a Peruvian portable altarpiece, and a 19th-century oil painting showing the circumcision of Jesus Christ as an infant.

The auction also featured Casa de Memoria’s unrivaled curated selection of antiquities and heirlooms including furniture, jewelry, sculptures, and centerpieces, among many other Euro-Filipino objets d’art.

With these remarkable pieces and more, Casa de Memoria’s Primero and Segundo auctions were truly a celebration of art and charity. Part of the proceeds of the auctions went toward the construction of the Emergency Quarantine Facility (EQF) at the Sta. Ana Hospital, Manila. The EQF, designed by WTA Architecture & Design, will help care for COVID-19 patients.
