Come Celebrate National Taco Day with TACO BELL

I often pass by this branch in Gateway Mall when I have events in Marikina, Antipolo, Manila and Cubao area. It's spacious enough that I don't get bothered by people from other tables, to enjoy my soft or crunchy Taco Bell Beef Taco when I crave for it. Today (October 4th) is a special day for taco fans especially in the Philippines. Today marks NATIONAL TACO DAY and Taco Bell has an offer you can't resist.

On this day, when you buy their cult favorite Crunchy Beef Taco, you can get the second one at 50% OFF. This is only for today though!

This usually costs 99 pesos regularly, but since it's National Taco Day, you can get 2 of them for the price of Php 149. You get to save Php 49 if you avail of it today!

Best of all, you can get it though dine-in orders, or take out, and even in delivery services. This includes GrabFood, Foodpanda and Pickaroo, else, you can order via 8911-11-11 or through their official website tacobell.com.ph. Make sure you follow their social channels to know more about this offer and future ones they plan to release. I'm going there right now to get myself some Crunchy Taco fix!

Shop at Puregold and Help Raise Funds for Communities

Your usual grocery shopping at Puregold has just got more meaning now as availing their new anniversary promos now help fund their community outreach programs. In September, they did Puregold Panalo Cup wherein shoppers got to purchase limited edition cups with endorsers TVJ on it. Proceeds went to Hospicio de San Jose which is a place for orphans, abandoned kids and for the elderly. They also put it to basic needs, educational supplies, making the contribution of Puregold customers a huge part of this.

Puregold Price Club Inc. President Vincent Co says "We have been able to do this for years and now we have our shoppers not only get good value for money products but share with those who need it most. We need positive changes and this collaboration with shoppers would be good for short and long term goals, and our efforts."

As part of Puregold's anniversary celebrations, they also got Visar Society to do custom tote bags for the benefit of La Mesa Watershed where SB19 Justin de Dios designed "People of Puregold", to signify the help that the Puregold community was able to bring. It was sold late September, but will be available again around October 16 to 26. It'll be good especially for fans of the group, and those who genuinely want to help (costs Php 125 if you get Php 1500 worth of groceries and Php 200 anniversary items). La Mesa Watershed Reservoir needs a lot of trees and its species.

There will also be a raffle draw happening on October 8 where Puregold will choose winners that will be sent to Hong Kong (10 winners), gadgets (20 winners), Hakot with the Stars/grocery run (20 winners), and Sari Sari Store showcase for 50 people. The second wave of winners will be announced on October 27 to November 5. You can get coupons every Php 2000 groceries you purchase (only 3 per transaction though!). Fine print will be in posters in Puregold so read em while you're there! Puregold's Sari saring Birthday Promos will be done on different dates til November 2023, so stay tuned for that as well! 

Shopee Taps VICE GANDA as Newest Brand Endorser

She's the one and only unkabogable Vice Ganda and she's the new brand ambassador for Shopee. This comes as they launch the 9.9 Super Shopping Day (starting on the 1st of September) plus new efforts to digitize Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the country. They partnered with the League of Provinces (hence the lawmakers present in the event) which they hope to help local entrepreneurs get tapped on the platform. Mind you, the org has a membership of over 81 provinces so there's definitely a lot who could benefit from it. They'll be trained and also guided how to get onboard the platform (just like what they've done in the past) but of course, with an entirely new audience.

Was this a shade????? LOL!

Shopee is also making this event a good one as they implemented FREE SHIPPING everyday, up to 70 percent off on products sold on Shopee LIVE, plus more discounts on the Fashion and Beauty category. This is good news for those who are into make up, grooming, and those who plan to change their wardrobe soon.

Here's Vice Ganda's statement when she was announced as the brand ambassador.

Brands that I saw during the event include itel, the good people from Pfizer, Vice Cosmetics, Shigetsu, INSPI, Mikana (who had awesome accessories btw!), Platinum Karaoke, and my favorite these days GameXtreme (heck I bought a lot of games from there!). There are also phone brands like Tecno, OPPO, Vivo, clothing brands like Penshopee, OXGN, Bench, Regatta, shoe brands KEDS and Crocs. So imagine the things you can get on 9.9!

They've got the right endorser today, and I wish Shopee gets back on track. They encourage you to install it, or re-install if that's the case. Those discounts are seriously good.
