Jollibee Group and GrabFood Launch Rush Hour Rewards

Thursday, December 4


Turning Stressful Commutes into Smoother Days

If you live or work in Metro Manila, you know how weekday rush hours can drain energy fast. Between bumper-to-bumper traffic, long lines, and that familiar “What do I eat later?” moment, commuting can feel like a daily marathon. To make those chaotic mornings and evenings a little easier, the Jollibee Group and GrabFood have teamed up to roll out Rush Hour Rewards, a limited-time offer designed to help commuters enjoy convenient, delicious meals without the stress.

A New Way to Make Rush Hours More Joyful

Launched on November 3 and running until December 26, 2025, Rush Hour Rewards gives hungry commuters a reason to look forward to the busiest times of the day. Customers can score a ₱100 discount when ordering from participating brands, with a minimum purchase requirement depending on the store.

The promo runs weekdays only, during the times people need convenience the most:
  • 7:00 to 9:00 a.m.
  • 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.

For Filipinos who often decide what to eat after a draining commute, this initiative makes meal planning easier. Ordering ahead means stepping into your home or office with food already taken care of. No more last-minute scrambling, no more decision fatigue.

Wide Selection of Jollibee Group Brands

One of the best things about Rush Hour Rewards is the variety. The offer covers 11 beloved brands, all available on the GrabFood app across Metro Manila and Greater Metro Manila:
  • Jollibee
  • Mang Inasal
  • Chowking
  • Greenwich
  • Red Ribbon
  • Burger King
  • Panda Express
  • Yoshinoya
  • Tiong Bahru Bakery
  • Common Man Coffee Roasters
  • Milksha

Whether you crave a Chickenjoy meal, barbecue from Mang Inasal, savory noodles from Chowking, or even a bakery treat from Tiong Bahru Bakery, there is something for every mood and commute.

A Partnership Designed for Real-Life Filipino Rush Hours

The Jollibee Group shared that the program aligns with its mission to bring more joyful and meaningful experiences to customers especially during stressful moments.

Jollibee Group Philippines Chief Marketing Officer Katrina Yu emphasized that rush hour is one of the toughest parts of the day for many commuters. She explained that by teaming up with GrabFood, they aim to offer a small but impactful solution, one that helps people arrive home with a ready meal or send something comforting to their loved ones.

Traffic is a daily reality in the city, and food often becomes an afterthought when you are stuck between work deadlines and travel time. With Rush Hour Rewards:
  • You save money on your favorite meals
  • You reduce stress by planning ahead
  • You enjoy the convenience of delivery during the busiest times
  • You turn traffic time into something more positive

It’s a simple change, but for many, it’s a much-needed breather in the middle of all the rush.

Turn Traffic Time into Treat Time

For those navigating Manila’s weekday chaos, this partnership offers a chance to make everyday routines a little brighter. If you already spend hours on the road, you might as well make the experience tastier.

Open your GrabFood app, choose from your favorite Jollibee Group brands, and enjoy your rush hour reward before the promo ends on December 26.

McDonald’s Grand Reunion Offers Free Holiday Gatherings

Thursday, November 27

 

Christmastime in the Philippines is never complete without a long-awaited reunion. Whether it’s your barkada, office family, or relatives you only see once a year, these gatherings are the heart of our holiday traditions. But for many Filipinos, busy schedules, distance, and budget constraints make it hard to bring everyone together.

This year, McDonald’s Philippines is stepping in to help bridge that gap. Through its “Grand Reunion at McDo” initiative, the fast-food giant is opening select Party Rooms nationwide to host free reunions, giving deserving groups a chance to finally reconnect and celebrate the season together.

A Holiday Initiative That Celebrates Filipino Togetherness

Happening simultaneously across the country, the Grand Reunion at McDo transforms chosen McDonald’s Party Rooms into festive spaces for meaningful gatherings. It’s McDonald’s way of honoring the true spirit of the season—pagsasama-sama and pagsasalo-salo.

As McDonald’s Philippines Chief Marketing Officer Ada Lazaro explains, the project taps into core Filipino values. She shared that by creating these spaces, McDonald’s offers a reminder that those who bring joy to others also deserve moments of celebration and gratitude.

How to Join McDonald’s Grand Reunion

Want your group to be part of this nationwide celebration? Here’s how:
  1. Visit McDonald’s Philippines’ Facebook Page.
  2. Look for the Grand Reunion post and share your story.
  3. Why does your group want to reunite?
  4. What kept you apart?
  5. Why is your bond worth celebrating?

The selected reunions will happen on December 8, from 2 PM to 4 PM.

Each participating Party Room will host two groups, with up to 10 people per group—a total of 20 happy guests. You may also choose your preferred McDonald’s branch.

Stories will be chosen based on how well they express the spirit of togetherness and holiday warmth.

A Special Meal for a Special Gathering

Aside from a cozy Party Room, each group will be treated to boxes of Honey Butter Chicken McDo, paired with a fun “shake, tear, and sprinkle” moment using Garlic Parmesan and Snow Cheese Powder—a simple ritual that makes every shared meal feel more special.

A McDonald’s Happiness Host will also be present to guide games, toasts, and light activities, making the reunion even more memorable.

Reinforcing Pinoy Holiday Values

Lazaro emphasized that McDonald’s wanted to offer a warm, uncomplicated way for people to gather—especially during a season filled with packed schedules, tight budgets, and emotional demands.

“Grand Reunion at McDo offers a refreshing alternative,” she explained, “a simple yet meaningful celebration that doesn’t require elaborate preparations.”

If you’ve been longing to reconnect with people who matter to you, this is your chance. McDonald’s Grand Reunion isn’t just a free event—it’s a heartfelt reminder that the best part of the holidays is being together.

How You and Your Bestie Can Win ₱1M Each This Christmas With Maya’s “Twinyonaryos” Promo

Tuesday, November 18


When the holidays roll in, we all look forward to gifts, gatherings, and a little extra good luck. But what if your simple everyday purchases like paying bills, shopping online, or even buying load could bring you and your favorite person ₱1 million each? This year, Maya is turning ordinary spending into a Christmas miracle with its fun and festive Twinyonaryos promo.

Whether your “twin” is your best friend, your sibling, your partner, or your constant coffee-date buddy, you can officially twin your way into a richer new year.

Maya Turns Holiday Spending Into a Chance to Become “Twinyonaryos”

Maya, the #1 Digital Bank in the Philippines, is giving Filipinos a unique way to share the holiday spirit: through matching wins.

The mechanics are refreshingly simple and very on-brand for our busy December schedules:
  • Every ₱1,000 you spend using Maya earns one raffle entry.
  • Your purchase could land you ₱1 million, and your chosen referral gets ₱1 million too.
  • If you’re using Maya Easy Credit, your entries are multiplied 5x more chances to win.
Sharing is extra rewarding because every friend you refer using your @username gives you 10 bonus entries.

So imagine this: you’re just doing your usual holiday shopping, paying utilities, covering dinner with the family and quietly stacking entries that could turn you and someone special into millionaires.

Choose Your “Twin” and Double the Fun

This season is all about meaningful connections, and Maya leans into that by encouraging you to choose someone you want to share the blessing with. Think of that person who has been there through your highs and lows. The one who gets your vibe, your humor, and your shopping cart addiction.

Why This Promo Hits Home for Filipinos

We Filipinos love a good holiday raffle, and we love an even better pasabog. What makes this promo stand out is how it celebrates our natural generosity. Winning alone is exciting, but winning with someone you care about? That’s peak Christmas spirit.

And let’s be honest, nothing says “Merry Christmas” like becoming instant millionaires together.

Stay Updated and Keep Spending Smart

To join in the fun, just keep using Maya for your purchases, transfers, bills, and credits. The more you use, the closer you get to Twinyonaryo glory.

For full details, visit maya.ph/xmas and follow @mayaiseverything on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

Maya Philippines, Inc. and Maya Bank, Inc. are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Deposit accounts are PDIC-insured up to ₱1 million per depositor.

If you’re already using Maya regularly, this promo is a no-brainer. You’re simply turning your daily cash flow into a shot at becoming a millionaire and bringing someone you love along for the ride. So go ahead: spend wisely, refer generously, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be celebrating the new year with an extra ₱1 million in your pocket.

MindNation Offers 40% Off Teletherapy for World Mental Health Month

Wednesday, October 22


This October, let’s make mental health care a shared priority. In celebration of World Mental Health Month, local well-being organization MindNation is doubling down on its mission to make therapy more accessible, affordable, and impactful through its latest campaign, “Double the Care.”

The initiative perfectly aligns with this year’s World Mental Health Day 2025 theme “Access to services: mental health in catastrophes and emergencies.” MindNation reminds Filipinos that caring for our minds shouldn’t be reserved for times of crisis, it should be part of everyday life.


“Mental health care should not wait until things collapse. It should be available, affordable, and accessible in daily challenges and extraordinary times alike,” shared Eiza Fusingan-Lappay, LPT, RPm, RPsy, PhDc, Chief WellBeing Officer at MindNation.

“Double the Care”  Therapy That Gives Back

From October 1 to 31, 2025, MindNation invites everyone to take part in its Double the Care campaign, which introduces two key initiatives that help you care for yourself and others at the same time:

1. Self Love Pack – 40% Off Psychologist Teletherapy

Get three one-hour online sessions with a licensed MindNation psychologist for only ₱3,060. Each session comes with personalized MindED Worksheets to help you set boundaries, live intentionally, and strengthen your relationships.

2. Pay It Forward Sessions

When you book a session with a WellBeing Coach or specialist (including a Grief Guide, Motivation Coach, Relationship Guide, or Stress Specialist), MindNation donates one free session to someone in need through its Community Therapy Fund.

This means your own healing journey directly helps another person get the care they deserve, proof that compassion can truly come full circle.

Why Accessible Care Matters

According to Fusingan-Lappay, it’s during times of uncertainty that support becomes most essential.

“People need to know that help is available, care is accessible, and they don’t have to face their struggles alone. At MindNation, we’re committed to breaking barriers and ensuring that support is within reach for everyone, everywhere.”

MindNation’s campaign serves as a gentle reminder: mental health support isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. By combining discounted therapy sessions with a donation-based model, MindNation encourages a culture of empathy and proactive care in Filipino communities.

Promo Mechanics

  • Promo period: October 1–31, 2025
  • Book through email at book@mindnation.com or message @mindnation on Facebook or Instagram
  • Open to ages 18+ (minors require guardian consent for psychologist sessions)
  • Sessions are transferable but non-refundable and cannot be combined with other discounts

For full details, follow MindNation on social media: @mindnation on Facebook and Instagram.

If you’ve been putting off therapy, now’s the perfect time to start. Whether it’s for yourself or someone you care about, MindNation’s “Double the Care” campaign makes it easier to take that first step toward better mental well-being. After all, caring for your mind is one of the best investments you can make for yourself, and for others.
