Citibankers Get 25% Off On Vikings

Citibank has been in the Philippines for years now and yes, they've been able to pioneer one of the most basic perks given by banks which is credit card services. It's their 25th year, and what better way to fully celebrate it but by giving you a fancy blowout through Vikings, one of the best buffet restaurant chains in the country. Aside from Vikings, they are the same people who have brought you NIU by Vikings, and recently the Four Seasons Hotpot City. Some of their participating restaurants/branches will get you 25% off if you go there in groups of 5.

Well that's not all, they've got the same groove happening in some of my favorite hotels in the country the Discovery Group. If you want a staycation in Discovery Primea, Discovery Shores Boracay and their other branches, they could give you 25% and perks in all of them, something that only Citibank can offer their clients on their 25th year!

There's more of this shown on this short video I made during the press conference.

Mr. Charles Lee of Vikings said "Never in their wildest dreams did they ever thought that a bank would actually partner with their brand and at a momentous occasion at that. Now you can get these perks in our Vikings buffet destinations like SM Jazz Mall Makati, SM Marikina, SM City BF Paranaque and SM Davao. This partnership will get us wider audiences so we could serve the best mouth watering food specially prepared by our international chefs in Vikings."

Their thrust for this anniversary is the Filipinos innate love for enjoying hearty meals with your loved ones hence the irresistible offer. Remember, this will only work if you pay with your Citibank Credit Cards and if you don't have one yet, please visit their banks or ask a Citi banker in malls and shops nationwide. They're not stopping there, because there are more travel and hotel perks too included in this year's celebration. They're also tapping different establishments so you know what you're getting into when you're with Citibank.

Making Candies at Made in Candy

We had the chance to visit the Made In Candy branch in Glorietta 4 last Monday with my co-clingy blogger friends Earth from Earthlingorgeous.com and Rodel of NognogInTheCity.com. The mission was clear, we had to get our hands into one of the nicest things we dreamed of when we were kids, it's how to make candy. Made In Candy is a Singaporean brand founded in 2009. Just like the rest of us, they loved candies. This love for the sweet treats made them think of putting up a full blown candy kitchen so they could start making original, personalized, hand made candies and sell them off as treats for customers who want it. Their passion has steadfastly grown and with the influx of corporate clientele and those who just needed them for special occasions, they have put up several stores, then began branching all throughout Southeast Asia. Now, there are about 5 Made in Candy stores in the Philippines (Powerplant Rockwell, Alabang Town Center, SM Megamall, Glorietta 4, SM Mall of Asia) and probably set to grow more in the next few years.

Made in Candy offers ready made retail rock candies, but all are still handmade. If you want to opt for customized orders, just remember it would require them around 4 kilos, or it depends on the complexity of your design. They do this for gifts, souvenirs, keepsakes for weddings, or corporate promotions. You just have to choose the color, flavor, words or design that you want to put in on the rocks. Then choose your packaging if you want big ones or small jars. You can also observe how they make it live inside the store if you prefer, then schedule for pickup right after that. Now here's how Earth, Rodel and I made our candies at the Glorietta 4 branch.

Sweet things should always be shared to loved ones, so if you're yearning to buy one for yourself make sure you get one for the folks at home or your girl/boyfriends. If you're planning to have one customized, please call them at 8665624, 09209649076 or email them at philippines@madeincandy.com. You can also follow them on their social media channels Made in Candy, Philippines on Facebook, @MadeinCandyPH on Twitter, and MadeinCandyPH on Instagram and use the hashtag #madeincandyph if you're sharing shots on those channels. Or better yet, visit their shops as mentioned earlier as they have people who can assist you and help you decide about that perfect candy you'll serve to your guests whatever occasion that may be.

We had fun doing this during our short visit in their Glorietta 4 branch, consequently it also happened on Lollipop day so it was buy 1 take 1 on all Lollipops, isn't that great? Well, there are going to be more days to celebrate sweetness so make sure you follow their social media accounts so you can catch offers like that.Please buy an extra bottle or bag of candies for me while you're at it haha!

Birch Tree Fortified and DECS Launches "Me and My Milk"

Birch Tree has been the go to brand of milk by Filipinos for ages and in simple ceremonies at the Department of Education in Meralco Avenue, Pasig City they just launched "Me and My Milk" which is an advocacy program of their brand Birch Tree Fortified. Their aim is to improve nutrition not just at home, their schools, but the whole community.

Witnessing this occasion was the star of hit afternoon TV show Be Careful With My Heart, the one and only Richard Yap together with child star Mutya Orquia. 

Melinda Legaspi, CEO of Merylindbert International says "This is another milestone, you are all witnesses to this great partnership. We have passion for education and yearning for knowledge, there are a lot of people who worked hard for this advocacy and we thank you for that. Delegates from Laguna, Bataan, Bulacan, Batangas and other places are here, we humbly welcome you." 

Erwin Africa GM of Snow Mountain Dairy Corporation adds "Education is not just feeding minds, but also feeding a strong healthy body. Milk is for the young, and young at heart, its good for everyone but in the Philippines we fortunately are under the daily consumption of milk compared with our Asian neighbors. We will have this educational program to encourage children to eat healthy so they get the right nutrition. Initially it will be in Luzon, and will involve the parents and community too. Some students will be given milk to start a great milk drinking habit."

Senior Product Manager of Birch Tree Fortified Lea Macalincag introduced their new brand ambassadors Richard and Mutya, proudly even singing a jingle and another song for the delighted crowd.

Undersecretary Dina Ocampo of the Department of Education thanked everyone who has been part of the program and wished them all success. It's something definitely worthy to celebrate about since this will benefit thousands of children all over the country. It's a step to the right direction and it doesn't stop there. You can do it too right in the comfort of your homes since Birch Tree Fortified is available in leading drug stores, supermarts and groceries. You just have to drink milk, especially if you lost the habit. 

Ciao!
