Posted on Thursday, 26th January 2012 by All Philippines

There’s a cool way now to pay for your Jollibee meals with the introduction of the all new Happy Plus Card.

Jollibee Corp. newest innovation targeting millions of their loyal patrons, the Happy Plus Card, is a modified debit card which can be used by the faithful customers to pay for their meals automatically.  Buying the Happy Plus Membership Kits at any Jollibee, Greenwich, Chowking, Red Ribbon, and soon to be available Mang Inasal outlets (available at the stores cashier counters) entitles the member with a three-year membership starting with the date of application.

With a minimum load of P 100 pesos, Happy Plus Card owners can now use it to pay for their fastfood meals purchased on the mentioned Jollibee Corp. franchises electronically using the special card terminal machines located on the cashier payment counters.

Owners can reload their card up to a maximum amount of P 10,000 pesos to continue using their Happy Plus Cards, after which they would need to purchase a new membership again for the Happy Plus program to continue using their cards when the three year membership usage had passed.

The Happy Plus Card patrons can also earn points using their Happy Plus Cards which gives them food points to avail for free fastfood meals based on the points accumulated. And last but not the least, the more they use and reload their Happy Plus Cards, the more they raise their chance of winning the monthly cash raffle – which can earn them up to P 100,000 pesos in cash prizes.

Available initially in Metro Manila (started last January 23) with plans for a nationwide patronage of all Jollibee Food Corporation fastfood outlets (Jollibee, Greenwich, Chowking, Red Ribbon, Mang Inasal) nationwide.

Travel Tips for Tourists in the Philippines [A Series] – Learn How to Speak Filipino

Posted on Friday, 20th January 2012 by All Philippines

Although the Philippines is one of the most tourist friendly country in the world, rated highly in regards to the wide usage of the English language as a method of communication (second to its official language, Filipino), it is still an advantage to know some of the colloquial ways of communication or the local lingo used in the Philippines.

Learning Filipino (or more commonly known as Tagalog) can be quite beneficial to foreign travelers visiting the Philippines, more so to the more adventurous visiting trekkers especially to those who love going to the rural areas of the archipelago.

Learning how to buy things, for example, in Filipino can be both a heck of an experience only a tour in the Philippines can offer. And it also gives you a room for local price haggling, which considering the premium given to foreign travelers the moment you enter Philippine territorial airspace, can be quite advantageous. Whether you’re purchasing fruits at a local market in Puerto Princesa City in Palawan or reserving a room in the outskirts of Tagaytay South of Manila, learning how to communicate in Filipino can enhance your stay in the country.

So what are the common words and phrases needed to survive the urban, and in literal term the ‘rural’ jungles of the Philippines?
Here are some example videos of Filipino words and phrases which can help foreign tourists communicate effectively and efficiently in their travels all around the Philippines.

1. How to greet in Filipino and to express appreciation.

2. How to purchase things you need while in the Philippines.

3. How to eat and order food in a restaurant.

4. How to ask directions for places in the Philippines.
