PASKO NA! Stay Sulit with the Best Deals and All the Holiday Convenience You Deserve


The minute the ber-months hit, a switch flips for us Filipinos. Christmas isn't just a single day—it's a four-month-long (maybe even five!) celebration that defines the last quarter of the year.

It’s the sweet scent of bibingka and puto bumbongwarming the air after Simbang Gabi. It’s the streets glowing with vibrant lights, homes overflowing with Christmas cheers, and food becoming the non-negotiable, heartwarming center of every celebration. This is when our loved ones come home—OFWs, students, and workers returning—making every shared meal into a cherished, unforgettable family moment.

With the long list of expenses for gifts, gatherings, and decorations, Filipinos have mastered the art of the sulitcelebration: maximum joy, minimum gastos. The Filipino Christmas has always been defined by diskarte(resourcefulness) and creativity: planning early, perfecting potlucks, and finding smart ways to make the season lighter on the wallet but just as full of joy. Because for us, the magic isn’t in how grand the feast is, but in how full the table feels—with laughter, love, and the people who matter most.

This Christmas, foodpanda helps Filipinos celebrate more while spending less through the PASKONA voucher, which gives up to ₱100 off on favorite dishes and essentials from beloved food spots such as KFC, MangInasal, Shakey’s, Pizza Hut, Popeyes, Angel’s Pizza, Kenny Rogers, Goldilocks, Pickup Coffee, and grocery partners on the app.

Beyond savings, foodpanda also brings ease and reliability to the busy holiday season—making food, gifts, and essentials just a few taps away. Whether it’s a last-minute handa, a potluck with friends, or a quick grocery run, foodpanda’s got every Filipino covered, so they can focus on what truly matters: celebrating the joy of Christmas.

Patricia Jacinto, Marketing Director of foodpandaPhilippines shared that the campaign is about helping Filipinos find new ways to make the busy holiday season simpler, more affordable, and more enjoyable. “The holidays are a time for connection and celebration, but they can also be overwhelming. With foodpanda, we want to make it easier and more sulit for everyone to celebrate by bringing convenience, savings, and joy straight to their homes. We want everyone to be able to celebrate the holidays without stress,” she reflected.

It’s a simple treat that reminds everyone that Christmas magic doesn’t have to mean extravagance. Sometimes, it’s about good food, good company, and the little things that make life lighter. Because in the middle of the hustle and holiday rush, it’s nice to know that someone’s got your back when you need it most. This time, it’s foodpanda saying, “PASKONA, WE GOTCHU!”

The PASKONA voucher is valid for both new and existing customers until December 31, 2025. Check the foodpanda app for updates and make every celebration sarap-sulit this Christmas.

Visa Strengthens Push for Digital Transit Payments with Urban Mobility Workshop for Banks

 Visa , a global leader in digital payments, is gearing up for the expansion of automated, contactless fare systems to other train lines in partnership with Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC). Through a workshop on smart mobility, Visa and RCBC shared solutions and best practices for issuers on managing digital payments for various modes of transit, particularly urban rail. 

Visa, in partnership with Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), conducted a forum to boost readiness of Philippine banks for transit payments as the country gears up for expansion of the automated fare collection system in LRT 1 and 2.


This workshop is in preparation for the launch of secure, seamless digital payments on other modes of transit in the Philippines. Working with RCBC and other transportation stakeholders, Visa is accelerating the upgrade of payment systems for the Light Rail Transit (LRT) lines 1 and 2, which have a combined daily ridership of more than 500,000. This will be Visa’s fourth transit project in the country – following the success of other cashless transit projects such as the MRT-3 and bus systems in Cebu, Mandaue, and Bacolod.

According to the Visa Economic Empowerment Institute, open-loop, contactless systems in public transit could potentially boost ridership by up to 10 percent. The shift to digital payments also advances urban mobility, as it responds to evolving commuter preferences for transit. Across Asia-Pacific, 94% of riders expect contactless payments to be offered on their rides, and 45% of commuters would take more trips if it were easier to pay their fares.

“We fully support the government’s vision of transforming everyday commuting experiences for the public, and making them efficient, hassle-free, and truly at par with transit services around the world. We hope to launch contactless payment systems in LRT 1 and 2 within the year,” highlighted Mylene Bico, Chief Commercial Officer of RCBC Credit Cards.

“Enabling commuters to use their cards and smartphones to pay is a step towards broadening digital and financial inclusion, which is a longstanding commitment that Visa shares with the government. When we remove barriers to digital financial systems, we reduce wait times, improve overall accessibility of public transport, and increase productivity to help uplift the economy,” added Visa Philippines Country Manager Jeffrey Navarro.

With more than 870 tap-to-ride transit projects globally, Visa continues to deliver innovative mobility solutions that advance economic development, support inclusive growth, and position the Philippines as a global leader in smart, sustainable urban infrastructure.

Honoring the Heroes Who Shaped Us: Gabay Guro’s Star-Studded Tribute to Teachers This October 25!

From the moment we first stepped into a classroom, teachers became the guiding light that shaped our dreams and built the foundations of who we are today. They were our first mentors, cheerleaders, and life coaches—instilling lessons that went far beyond books and blackboards. This October 25, Gabay Guro honors these everyday heroes through a grand celebration filled with gratitude, inspiration, and star-studded performances. Some of the country’s brightest celebrities will take the stage to show their support for the noble mission of empowering teachers, proving once again that behind every success story is a teacher who believed first.


This October 25, 2025 (Saturday) at the Meralco Theatre, Gabay Guro continues its 18-year legacy of honoring the nation’s educators through the Grand Gathering 2025 — the country’s most meaningful celebration dedicated to Filipino teachers — following the successful Teacher’s Fests held in Ilocos Norte, Koronadal, Biñan, and Dumaguete, as well as the National Teachers’ Day celebration at the Mall of Asia Arena last October 6, spearheaded by the Department of Education with a portion led by Gabay Guro. It stands as a heartfelt tribute to the men and women who continue to build the nation — one lesson, one learner, and and life at a time.
