Free Internet Access To foodpanda with SafeZone

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In this increasingly digital era, it is now easier to get when you want, when and where you want it—a commitment foodpanda, the leading online food ordering marketplace, has made to hungry customers around the country. More and more Filipinos are placing their food delivery orders online; however, a common barrier remains for many of them: data access. Ordering food online requires users to go through several web pages before successfully checking out, and for prepaid subscribers, this means incurring data charges on top of their load balance or data package allocation.

Filipinos now need not have their mobile data consumed just to be able to enjoy ordering food online, as Voyager Innovations, Inc., the digital innovations arm of PLDT and Smart, has entered into a one-of-a-kind partnership with foodpanda, providing customers free data access when ordering food online with SafeZone. SafeZone allows users to browse partner sites and apps, such as foodpanda, completely FREE of data charges.

Now, customers can choose from foodpanda’s over 1,000 partner restaurants, such as Amici, Greenwich, IHOP, and Omakase, and conveniently have their food delivered to their homes without having to worry about expensive data charges. 

Customers must simply visit https://free.foodpanda.ph/ and turn on the 'Load Protect’ feature, enter their location to see which restaurants deliver to them location, browse the available menus, and choose to pay online or via cash-on-delivery.

Benjie S. Fernandez, the Chief Operating Officer of Voyager Innovations, believes that this partnership represents a significant step forward for Filipino consumers.

Panacea: Making You Believe in Forever Again

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Have you ever wondered where do really broken hearts go? Well if you ask the renowned love doctor, Dr. Ino Balagtas, these broken hearts did actually find their way home -- in Panacea! For almost four decades, Panacea have been healing different disabilities caused by love problems all over the country.

This year they are celebrating their 35th anniversary and it looks like the clinic is far from slowing down. "Thank God, no deaths since our opening 35 years ago." Dr. Balagtas, resident Panacea doctor and the clinic's President, said jokingly when asked about the clinic's secret for its longevity. He also added that more than the clinic's world class facilities, he believed that Panacea is more than just a medical center, he described it as a retreat house, a solace -- a place where your heart can relax and meditate, a place where you can be whole again.

Aside from the state-of-the-art amenities, the clinic prides itself for their guaranteed 100 percent cure for every love disabilities like blindness because, well, love is blind; hearing impairment due to constant nagging and other physical deformities rooted from love disorders. According to Dr. Balagtas, the ultimate cause of these maladies is stupidity, "when your heart starts to beat for someone that is also the time your brain shuts down", he said bluntly.

Dr. Balagtas assured us a full heart recovery after your Panacea treatment. Krizzy, a self-confessed love problematic and one of their celebrity patients testified about Panacea's treatments, "Doc Ino helped me move on talaga, thanks to him! Love! Love! Love!” Krizzy is one of the hundreds of survivors from brokenheartedness. In the Philippines, 7 out of 10 people's hearts are shattered everyday and its Panacea's mission to pick these hearts to pieces.

“Paglayang Minamahal” All Set To Open On November 12

The De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde’s Technical Theater Program Batch 112 proudly presents “ Paglayang Minamahal ” --- a sarswela written and directed by Palanca winner George de Jesus III and music by Jeffrey Hernandez.

Paglayang Minamahal is a three-act sarswela about the love between a young barrio lass and a rich ilustrado set during the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution. Exploring the many levels and facets of love and freedom, the play inverts the traditional sarsuela by protecting the relationship of Alodia and Mauricio from any satanic inclination, promises forever to each other in the middle of endeavor of the nation for their freedom.

Paglayang Minamahal was written during the fever of the Philippine centennial celebrations in 1998 and won 2nd Prize in the sarswela category of the Centennial Literary Competition.

“It was first staged by Tanghalang Pilipino at the CCP in 2000 directed by Chris Millado with music by Jesse Lucas. The collaborative process of that production resulted in an edit of the original script creating a sung-through musicale that somehow diminished the sarswela form. This production, although edited to run for less than 2 hours, brings back a number of scenes and dialogues from the original winning draft of the play,” George de Jesus III remarks.

PAGLAYANG MINAMAHAL is set to open on NOVEMBER 12 and shall continue to run on November 13, 14 and 15 (1:00 pm and 7:00 pm) at the 5/F SDA Theater, School of Design and Arts Campus, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, 950 P. Ocampo St., Malate, Manila.
