Taters Goes Trentastic: Celebrating Three Decades of Snack Time Excellence

Whenever we watched a movie at Trinoma or Glorietta, we always grabbed a bag of Taters buttered popcorn. We loved it drench in butter, so much that our hands would get greasy. Paired with a hotdog sandwich, we were all set for the perfect movie experience. 

We learned later that Taters celebrates its 30th year! 

The brand stands as a testament to resilience, innovation, and a deep understanding of what Filipinos love.

What began as a simple stand offering snacks to moviegoers of all ages is now, three decades on, one of the Philippines’ best-known names in the food and beverage sector.

Now celebrating its 30th year, Taters continues to pursue product and service excellence by keeping abreast of the rapidly evolving demands of its highly dynamic market.

From just popcorn and chips, Taters now caters to the diverse tastes of the Filipino public. While light snacks to munch on remain its primary stock in trade, the company has diversified its offerings to include heartier fare: practically everything from hotdogs garnished to one’s liking, to crispy chicken or fish, and to sandwiches to enjoy alone or with a buddy.

The brand’s evolution from a niche cinema snack provider to a versatile and widely accessible purveyor of great food is the secret to its ongoing success - and the rewards are totally TRENTA-stic.

Changing With the Times

When the world found its bustling activities put to a grinding halt by the onslaught of COVID-19 in 2020, businesses throughout the globe needed to adapt in order to remain afloat and relevant.

Taters did so with great aplomb, considering and applying innovative thinking and diversification to ride out the pandemic and come through shining. As a result of this, the brand embraced numerous formats in order to cater to the suddenly evolving needs of its customer base.

Given the challenges faced by the cinema industry during the pandemic, Taters remained a staple for movie lovers. With safety protocols in place, the brand continued to offer its classic snacks, ensuring that the magic of the movies was accompanied by the familiar crunch and flavor of their favorite treats. 

For those who used to attend sporting or leisure events onsite, options were also considered. As more people sought out entertainment in safe, controlled environments, Taters expanded its presence in game parks and sports centers. These venues became hotspots for those looking to combine physical activity with tasty snacks, and Taters showed up to meet that demand.

The pandemic was also the boom-time for the streaming media sector as people found ways to stay entertained even as they sheltered in place. To meet the snacking needs of this emergent market, Taters made its products available through community outlets and delivery services, enabling patrons to enjoy their favorite snacks even in the comfort of their homes.

When pandemic restrictions relaxed, Taters gained ground with regard to those patronizing amusement centers and malls. Having kiosks or stalls in these venues gave the public a way to grab and enjoy their favorites from light crunchies to more substantial fare. 

Likewise, having a presence in these places enabled Taters to bring their signature snacks to commuters who can now enjoy everything from popcorn to sandwiches even on the go. 

“Adapting to the evolving needs of the market keeps us on our toes,” company CEO Ana Maria Tanchanco says of how the brand has changed since 2020. “By looking into what customers want, we can calibrate our offerings, do the necessary research and development, and consider innovative additions to satisfy the public.”

Teaming Up With the Best

This drive towards innovation in product offerings would not, of course, be successful if Taters didn’t join forces with some of the biggest names in the country’s retail scene.

On its 30th year, Taters marks the beginning of an exciting new era in its history as it collaborated with SM Gamepark, the SM Group’s own amusement facilities arm.

“Tying up with SM Gamepark gives us the opportunity to expand our reach to mall-goers who are out for a good time,” says Taters COO Joseph Brian Tanchanco. “Whether they’re throwing a party, having a night out with friends, or need snacks to add to the fun while they’re at play, our extensive menu is bound to have something to satisfy their cravings.” 

Through this collaboration, Taters and SM Gamepark will offer exclusive promotions, and a host of events that promise to make the TRENTA-stic celebration truly unforgettable. 

Note that this partnership is exclusive to the following SM Gamepark branches: Taters SM Mall of Asia Gamepark; Taters SM Megamall Bowling; Taters SM North EDSA Bowling; Taters SM Fairview Bowling; Taters SM Southmall Gamepark; Taters SM Sta. Rosa Gamepark; Taters SM Cebu Bowling; Taters SM Seaside Bowling; Taters SM Lanang Bowling; and Taters SM CDO Bowling.

Get Your Game On!

In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Taters encourages loyal customers to join the Trentastic Game On Sport + Snack Tournament which pays homage to the brand’s long-standing commitment to excellence. 

Drawing inspiration from the Olympics, Trentastic Game On is designed to highlight the best in competitive gaming, whether in basketball, billiards, and table tennis among others. 

The tournament goes beyond mere competition. Indeed, it celebrates the spirit of perseverance, skill, and the relentless pursuit of being the best: the values that Taters upheld for three decades.

Be a TRENTA-stic Champ!

Taters is also spotlighting individual achievements with the Trentastic Champs promo. 

This exciting initiative allows participants to showcase their skills in specific games and be rewarded with delicious prizes.

Activities include: 

The Bow Blitz Champ: In this archery-themed challenge, players who score 30 points inside the yellow ring in a single game will receive a FREE Minor Superpop. This promo is all about precision and rewarding those who hit their mark; and

The Turkey Striker Champ: For bowling enthusiasts, this challenge offers a FREE Classic Churkey Hotdog to any player who strikes a Turkey (three consecutive strikes). It’s a tasty way to celebrate consistency and skill. 

Both challenges put an emphasis on the spirit of competition and excellence that has driven the brand to success and recognition.

A Bundle of Good Cheer

Central to Taters' enduring success is its unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, which is presented in the new Trentastic Bundles.

These specially-curated sport+snack packages were created to enjoy  with a variety of leisure activities.

Offered at a discount, these sport+snack combos are the right stuff to enjoy during bowling nights, karaoke sessions, darts games, or simply enjoying a day at an amusement park or gaming arcade. 

Through these value-packed bundles, Taters not only enhances the overall experience for its customers but also reinforces its reputation as a brand that consistently delivers excellence in both product and service.

With all these - and more - one can be sure that TRENTA-stic Taters has won the hearts of the Filipino public, and will continue to do so for years to come.

Legarda’s Blue Economy Bill Clears Third Reading, Paving the Way for Sustainable Marine Development

Senator Loren Legarda lauded the Senate’s unanimous passage of Blue Economy Bill on the third reading on Monday.

Legarda, the principal author and principal sponsor of Senate Bill No. 2450, emphasized the importance of the proposed law since it provides more ways to protect and strengthen the Philippines' marine biodiversity.

“I welcome the support of our colleagues in voting to approve the Blue Economy bill on the third reading. This proposed measure establishes a comprehensive framework for the sustainable development and stewardship of our coastal and marine resources, which are vital to our nation's economy, environment and heritage,” Legarda said. 

“The Blue Economy Act aligns with the Philippines' commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 14, which focuses on conserving and sustainably managing the oceans, seas, and marine resources,” she added.

Once the bill is signed into law, the potential of the Philippines' marine resources could be maximized through the adoption of more holistic approaches in coastal communities. This could be achieved through the promotion and adoption of sustainable practices and the protection of the country's rich marine biodiversity.

Blue bonds shall also be issued by the government, in which the proceeds will be exclusively applied to finance or refinance eligible blue programs, activities, and projects catering to the maritime industry.

“The Blue Economy Act represents a porthole, if you may, from which we can see what surrounds us. It is like the biblical talents left by the master for the servant to enrich. We are all given this wealth so we may be worthy stewards,” remarked the lawmaker. 

“With the bill’s approval on the third reading, we fulfill our sacred duty to the planet and our people to protect the health and resilience of our coastal and marine ecosystems, while maximizing their potential to foster inclusive economic growth and enhance the well-being of present and future generations of Filipinos,” she concluded.

HONOR Pioneers AI-Powered Eye-Tracking Technology to Support People with Disabilities

In the development of new technology, the needs of people with disabilities are sometimes overlooked. International ALS foundations have been championing the cause, trying to raise awareness to encourage innovation that uplifts these communities. Adhering to HONOR’s commitment to human-centric innovation, the company stands as the first smartphone brand to introduce intent-based eye-tracking technology through its MagicOS 8.0 operating system. The AI-powered technology allows users to interact with their phone using just their eyes to open notifications and apps. The company will roll this feature out to global devices from 27th August 2024. 

“ALS is a progressive disease of the nerve cells in which your muscles gradually fail,” explains Limore Noach, executive director of ALS Foundation Netherlands. “Every loss of function is forever,” she says, adding that ALS patients often retain control only of their eye movement in the later stages of the disease. “People who have been diagnosed with a life-changing disease often find a renewed sense of purpose and want to do something meaningful.” 

Committed to investing in ongoing research, HONOR is also developing non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies in its R&D laboratory. The technology allows people to communicate with external devices using brain electrical signals, creating more possibilities for people with disabilities. Wei Zhang, a 34-year-old Chinese ALS challenger who has lived with the disease for 26 years, recently experienced this groundbreaking technology, which allows him to interact with a computer through brain signals. HONOR aims to inspire a future of technology that creates new mediums for AI interactions between smartphones and other devices, benefiting people with disabilities or those requiring additional assistance. 

HONOR the Challenger: Promoting Global Awareness Through Social Engagement 

To bring attention back to the ALS community while paying tribute to the challengers who live with the disease, BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions has produced a short film featuring the powerful story of artist and ALS challenger Bernard Muller. The film demonstrates how Bernard Muller uses eye-tracking technology to express himself through artwork, demonstrating the power of AI in making life more enjoyable for people living with disabilities. 

Social media users are invited to contribute to raising awareness about ALS, by participating in the #HONORtheChallenger social media challenge. View the challenge on TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook. 

To learn more about the cause and make a contribution, visit the International Alliance of ALS Associations.

Beyond the eye-catching designs reflecting the legendary master of Impressionism, Claude Monet, here are more reasons for the Squad to get pumped up for the realme 13 Pro Series 5G launch.

Say goodbye to blurry images with the AI Ultra Clarity

Blurry images would now be a thing of the past, thanks to the AI Ultra Clarity featured in the realme 13 Pro Series 5G. This software feature uses AI to increase clarity or enhance the resolution of blurry images. The AI Ultra Clarity is versatile regarding types of photos or files to use it on. The feature can work on photos taken by the device, old photos taken by older smartphone models, low-resolution images found online or on social media, and photos from other sources that cannot be downloaded in their original high-resolution format.

The AI Ultra Clarity is designed to improve or sharpen the details of an image, whether of buildings, plants, flowers, or other objects with relatively regular textured patterns. Cropped sections of an image that look pixelated when zoomed in can also be enhanced for better details.

On top of this, it has a Pro-XDR that analyzes the contents of photos taken by the device’s camera and adjusts brightness to help improve dynamic range, lights, and shadows for a more realistic image when being viewed.

Push the boundaries of mobile photography with Dual 50MP Sony Cameras with OIS

The realme 13 Pro+ 5G is crafted with a dual Sony main camera system that lets users capture exceptional images in different lighting conditions. The realme 13 Pro+ 5G is the first to use the Sony LYT600 Periscope Camera that supports 120x SuperZoom. When using the periscope camera, users can take clearer shots in Photo Mode, Street Mode, Night Mode, and “Moon Mode 2.0” (when set to 10x Zoom and above). This camera also supports 3x Optical Zoom and up to 6x In-Sensor Zoom and Portrait Mode set to a focal length of 80mm.

The other camera in the dual system is the Sony LYT701 OIS Camera, which has a 50MP resolution and lets users capture images with 3x Nightscape. This feature makes taking pictures in nighttime scenarios more convenient.

On the flip side, the realme 13 Pro 5G is equipped with a 50MP Sony LYT600 that delivers stunning day and night photography. This impressive setup delivers exceptional image quality with a 26mm equivalent focal length, f/1.88 aperture, OIS, and 2x In-Sensor Zoom.

Refined Smartphone Experience with 120Hz Curved OLED Display (ArmorShell Protection)

Be at ease when using the realme 13 Pro Series 5G, even in harsh environments. The new installations in the Number Series are designed with ArmorShell Protection, a technology developed by realme to enhance a device’s durability against drops and scratches. In terms of external environmental factors, the realme 13 Pro Series 5G is equipped with a Rainwater Smart Touch and has an  IP65 Dust & Water Resistance rating to ensure protection from dust, splashes of water, and low-pressure splashes from any direction.

Finally, the realme 13 Pro Series 5G has AI Eye Protection that identifies frequencies when the user yawns or blinks to identify fatigue and adjusts color temperature and brightness for smart eye protection. Users can also toggle on the Bedtime Mode, Color Temperature adjustment, and a Paper Texture function to personalize their overall smartphone experience.

AirAsia PH is mounting its “Rain or Shine Let’s Fly and Go” which is available for bookings until 1 September

AirAsia Philippines is inviting travelers to make the most of the long weekend and visit their favorite domestic and visa-free regional destinations. To support immediate travel plans, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline is mounting its “Rain or Shine Let’s Fly and Go” which is available for bookings until 1 September. Offering a P127 one-way base fare for travels beginning this week until 31 March 2025, Rain or Shine Let’s Fly and Go is available for all destinations including the airline’s newest offering - Nagoya, Japan.

“As a pioneer and leader in low-cost travel, we’re thrilled to turn our guests’ travel plans into a reality with our lowest fare offering in time for the long weekend where most Filipinos are expected to take advantage of. This latest offering is also ideal for those planning end-of-year holidays. We encourage our guests to take advantage of these offers to save time and money while planning future trips,” AirAsia Philippines Communications and Public Affairs Head First Officer Steve Dailisan shares.  

AirAsia’s promos and low fare offerings were effective not only in satisfying the guests’ travel needs, but also in improving the airline’s numbers. From January to August 2024, AirAsia Philippines has already flown over 5 million guests - 85% of which were booked via double digit, PISO Sale, and other low fare promos. 

AirAsia also sees the lowering of the Fuel Surcharge from Level 6 to Level 5 for the month of September to have a huge impact on the public’s booking behaviour.  At Level 5, fuel surcharge cost is expected to go down by PHP 800 for international flights and PHP 542 for domestic flights which would immediately reflect on ticket prices next month.  “Filipinos are always on the lookout for discounts. Any budget saved from airfares can be used as an additional budget for hotels, restaurants, activities, or souvenirs”, Dailisan added.   

Looking ahead, the airline is looking to close 2024 with more than 8 million guests flown as it continues to serve 165 domestic and 71 international weekly flights, delighting everyone with world-class service, the best inflight meals courtesy of Santan, and the most competitive airfare in the market today.

AirAsia reminds guests of the strict implementation of the cabin baggage policy which allows a limit of 7KG for complimentary hand carry baggage which can be a combination of a small hand carry item and a backpack or small luggage which is perfect for a quick getaway.
