See you at PASIGlaban!

18 March 2022

The pandemic has made me scared of huge crowds, and there was a time shortly before I got Covid for the second time when even going out of the house gave me anxiety, but I am pushing this anxiety away so I can go to PASIGlaban on Sunday for a Leni-Kiko rally.

Seeing the turnout in the other parts of the Philippines gave me goosebumps, and I cannot wait to be part of the crowd and feel this electrifying energy!

We hesitated a bit because of the logistics, until we thought of booking a room in a hotel nearby so won't have problems going home, or even have issues with stuff to bring, or looking for a public comfort room if the need arises. I will also find time to bake tomorrow so I can distribute cookies at the rally. :)

As for our meals, I do not think we will have any challenges because it's nearby at least four different malls. Besides, foodpanda and Ayala Malls have started a joint initiative to offer hassle-free solutions and deals to their patrons through DriveBuy pickup stations.

Revisit familiar flavors and discover new faves at Ayala Malls, get in touch with your inner foodie and enjoy amazing eats while skipping the queues through PICKUP or staying within the safety and comfort of your home through DELIVERY. To make the most of it, synergize with foodpanda’s newest pal, Pau-Pau as he knows all the tricks of the trade.

foodpanda continues its joint initiative with Ayala Malls to minimize person-to-person contact and ensure everyone’s convenience and safety. Ayala Malls also has designated DriveBuy pickup stations and dedicated al fresco dining areas.

Looking to satisfy your cravings from a restaurant in an Ayala Mall? Get ₱100 OFF on top of existing deals when you order using the code AYALAMALLS100 for a minimum order of ₱399 on all food delivery and pick-up orders. The code is valid in 27 Ayala Malls branches nationwide until April 30, 2022.

Will you be joining PASIGlaban? See you there!

International Women's Month

03 March 2022

I have quite a sizable Barbie collection, but I didn't have the OG Barbie. I've been wanting to get one but I always used to miss out, until I saw this beauty.


This Gold Label Collection Barbie is a reproduction of the classic 1959 black and white swimsuit doll and features a Silkstone body for the very first time. She wears a strapless, vintage-cut swimsuit, sports a signature ponytail and features the original face sculpt with crimson lips and black eye liner. Inspired by the doll that started it all, her iconic accessories include cat-eye sunglasses and black peep-toe slides. This reproduction of the original 1959 Barbie doll features a Silkstone body for the very first time.


An icon celebrating her birthday on the same month we are celebrating International Women's Month, no less. ♡

Anyway, segueing to today's post brought to us by global on demand food-delivery service foodpanda, the need for food deliveries increased when the pandemic hit. But Filipino women are known to be quick to adapt to challenges and be always on top of their game, even in a male-dominated industry. In celebration of International Women’s Month, foodpanda highlights the stories and experiences of these bold female foodpanda riders.

JULIE ANN DAVID
Julie is the modern-day Hermes but also a warrior for her two children, a 17-year-old and an 8-year-old, whom she raises by herself. She wants nothing more than to provide and be present in their lives — a desire embedded into her heart, born out of the pre-pandemic compromise of living far away to work for a canteen.

But it all changed when the lockdowns were imposed. With no job, she returned home. But there, she found light amidst the darkness and her prime motivators — her children.

Through a sibling, she discovered foodpanda and its rider program. But as a single parent, she found herself on the receiving end of questions regarding work-life balance, to which she explains, “Yong hapon pa po biyahe, tapos umaga, para po sa anak ko.”

“Nakakaya ko na lang. Nagugulat ako minsan na tapos na pala araw ko,” she adds.

Her advice to the next generation of women? “Wag susuko agad. Hindi naman dahilan na sumuko dahil walang katuwang.”

MARIA TERESA MANALILI
Maria has worn multiple hats throughout her lifetime: a single mother of three, a confidant to her peers, and now the Nanay of Angeles City’s foodpanda riders.

Three years ago, bar-goers knew her as a bar manager of 17 years, but things have changed. She was back to square one at the start of the pandemic, but foodpanda came into the conversation.

She took the plunge despite her age since she wasn’t new to the main component of the job: riding motorcycles. She started at 18 and would frequently go on multiple rides with her friends at the time. 

Now, as a foodpanda rider, she finds it quite nostalgic as though she’s reliving her younger years.

“Pero in the sense na, sabihin natin, kinailangan lang? Hindi lang doon, kasi nag-eenjoy ako sa ginagawa ko,” she says.

As a rider, she never felt criticized for her age nor for being a woman. Instead, she was showered with praises.

She’s learned enough from the experience but there’s one things she wants to share to the next generation: “Ang gagawin ay magtutulungan. Lalo na sa hirap sa buhay, kailangan tulungan talaga.”

SHERRY ANN VELASQUEZ
Sherry is a single parent of two and a proud member of the Igorot tribe, which instilled beliefs and ethics that helped mold her into who she is now — someone who believes in not sitting around and waiting for blessings.

She left her job overseas due to a health issue in 2019, but when asked to return, the pandemic hit and she couldn’t. But that didn’t stop her from seeking other ways. Eventually, she found foodpanda’s pandaTODA program and applied.

Through foodpanda, she’s able to be with her family while finding enjoyment in the day-to-day challenges. “Para lang ako nagjojoyride sa araw-araw,” she says.

But being a woman in a male-dominated field means being referred to as “Kuya” often. Many are surprised to find out she’s not a man, and she takes this with pride. She recounts a moment where a customer said, "Uy, babae si ate. Kaya niya."

“Hindi kumo babae ka, parang idodoubt mo sarili mo na may limitasyon ang kaya mong gawin. As long as kaya mo at kaya ng katawan mo, go,” she adds.

In honor of all women, foodpanda enjoins everyone to celebrate with the help of voucher codes available throughout the month.
