Having your favorite Red Ribbon cake for celebrations and gifting is now easier than ever with the new Red Ribbon Online Store!

Dads are known as the providers of the family, the ‘pillar of the home’. While they’re usually the ones who go out to work to earn a living, they always make time to bond and share fun and delightful moments with their wife and kids. 

With the ongoing pandemic still forcing most of us to stay at home, dads have had to expand their roles and skills like learning new recipes and cooking, taking up hobbies to bond with their kids, and doing DIY projects to redecorate their house—they do these and so much more while juggling work-from-home duties. This just shows that no matter how stressful things can get, they still constantly find ways to show their love and dedication to their families.

Indeed, each day is an opportunity to show gratitude for dads, but a timely message that’s often left out is “I’m proud of you, dad!” With Father’s Day drawing near, there’s nothing more special—and endearing—than expressing this heartfelt thought with any of Red Ribbon’s delectable cakes and pastries. Now, Red Ribbon enables you to do this with two new ordering services via its new online store and new ReGALO e-gift cards!

Jollibee reminds us that you don’t need expensive things to be content and happy

With more than a year into the pandemic, consumers nationwide continue to feel the effects of the economic crisis and high inflation rates. Budgets are tighter and for some, the cost of essentials such as food seem to be farther from reach than before.

 

The country’s #1 fast food chain Jollibee reminds us that you don’t need expensive things to be content and happy. Its latest campaign highlights JolliSavers, its range of sulit-sarap bestsellers that are just as delicious and affordable as ever.

 

Its three-part commercial series kicks off with “Future”, wherein a man trying on a luxury watch finds out exactly how much it costs and goes on a sarcastic tirade towards the salesman, concluding that all he wants in life is to be happy.

 

“JolliSavers has always advocated the idea of getting your simple, delicious joys anytime you want, at an affordable price,” Jollibee’s Marketing Director, Joseph Aruta said. “With this campaign, we want to assert that ‘di dapat mahal maging masaya. We feel that this is even more relevant now with people finding low-cost and sustainable ways to be happy, and we definitely offer that through our products.”

 

Treat yourself to any of these crave-worthy, happiness-inducing menu items from JolliSavers: the langhap-sarap Yumburger at PHP 35.00; the sweet-sarap Jolly Spaghetti at PHP 50.00; the beefy-saucy Burger Steak at PHP 50.00; and the todo toppings, todo sarapJolly Hotdog at PHP 50.00.

Cebu Pacific offers the cheapest RT-PCR test at only P2,500 versus other local carriers

The Philippines' leading airline, Cebu Pacific (PSE: CEB), ramps up its Test Before Boarding (TBB) process as it now offers the cheapest RT-PCR test at only P2,500 versus other local carriers, exclusively for its passengers. 

CEB offers the RT-PCR test through its two accredited partners –Health Metrics, Inc. (HMI) and Safeguard DNA Diagnostics Inc. (SDDI). This special rate is solely for passengers booked on Cebu Pacific and Cebgo. 

As a number of local and international destinations still require negative RT-PCR test results prior to entry, CEB has ensured this requirement is made more accessible and affordable through these reduced rates.  Results are guaranteed to be released within 48 hours, while a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround period is priced at PHP 3,200 for both laboratories.

HMI has clinics in Pasay and Makati; while SDDI has facilities in Mandaluyong, Bacolod, and Davao.

“We continue to do what we can to rebuild the public’s trust and confidence in air travel. As we remain committed to providing affordable flights for everyJuan, we also made it a point to see where else we can reduce costs for our passengers – we are happy to work with our laboratory partners to make available the cheapest RT-PCR swab test rates that may conveniently be booked on our website,” said Candice Iyog, CEB vice president for Marketing and Customer Experience.

The Philippine Airport Diagnostic Laboratory (PADL) also offers both RT-PCR and antigen tests exclusively for CEB passengers, for only PHP 3,300 and PHP 700, respectively. The TBB testing facility at the NAIA Terminal 3 is also open for walk-ins daily, with fees to be directly paid to PADL. 

Passengers booked on Cebu Pacific and Cebgo can easily choose and book appointments via http://bit.ly/CEBTestOptions. From there, everyJuan will be redirected to each laboratory's page to finalize their schedule online.

Testing is just one out of the three key steps CEB strictly implements to regain passenger confidence. Other approaches include safety and sanitation, as well as track and trace. CEB continues to implement a multi-layered approach to safety and has been rated 7/7 stars by airlineratings.com for its COVID-19 compliance. Passengers are also constantly reminded to register in the Department of Transportation's Traze App for a more efficient contact tracing process.

Guests are strongly urged to always check with the LGU of their destination for latest updates.  For a list of travel requirements, testing options, flexibility options and frequently asked questions, passengers may conveniently visit www.cebupacificair.com.
