Tweet

Bahay Aruga orphans recently spent a memorable and a fun learning experience at DreamPlay’s 1^stanniversary celebration.

City of Dreams Manila intensifies its corporate social and environmental responsibility program to mobilize its more than 5,000 employees for a continued and sustainable local community engagement and skills-based volunteerism, and make a positive impact through care of underprivileged children, blood donation and conservation drive.

City of Dreams Manila Property President Geoff Andres together with other volunteers participated in the CSR campaign “Spoonful of Dreams” with a visit to Paranaque city government’s Bahay Aruga orphanage.

“At City of Dreams Manila, our management team and employees are the heart and soul of the integrated resort. One of our guiding principles is the spirit of volunteerism and we work together to engage in meaningful activities that create a positive and sustainable impact to the community and the environment. We are committed to share our time, talents and skills to make a difference and inspire the next generation with hope and a better future,” stated City of Dreams Manila Property President Geoff Andres.

COD Manila Property President Geoff Andres provided care for orphans at Bahay Aruga

Every month, a group of employees from various departments take turns in hosting the resort’s “Spoonful of Dreams”, a weekend activity focused on Parañaque City’s Bahay Aruga, an orphanage which the integrated resort employees have adopted. 

Over 1,000 employees have actively participated in the monthly undertaking since a year ago when City of Dreams Manila started its operations. With the spirit of volunteerism set into high gear, COD Manila leveraged on the resort employees’ natural capacity for service and creativity, as they dedicate themselves beyond expectations to provide care, camaraderie, nourishment and engaging experiences for the children at Bahay Aruga. 

With various departments jointly co-hosting the activity, some 20 to 50 volunteers per visit spend a meaningful time with the children. Pooling their own resources and talents together, the departments come up with creative activities to entertain the orphans, such as storytelling activities, a performing magician, and a range of games and contests to win prizes. 

City of Dreams Manila employee volunteers performed dance numbers to liven up the “Spoonful of Dreams” program for children of Bahay Aruga

One memorable “Spoonful of Dreams” activity was hosted by the DreamPlay team, who feted the children to a fun-filled Dreamworks characters themed-party complete with games and refreshments.

At the launch of DreamPlay’s first year anniversary celebration, the Bahay Aruga orphans were invited to experience the interactive play space’s thrilling attractions, such as the 4D theatrical special “Megamind: The Button of Doom” in the Dream Theater, a brand new lesson at the interactive Kung Fu Fighting dojo, Penguins of Madagascar create-your-own-movie module at the Dream Studio, “Whatever Floats Your Boat” competition with the Penguins of Madagascar and gingerbread cookie preparation in  “Cooking with Gingy” together with Shrek and Donkey.

Throughout the past months, Paranaque public school children, street children from Virlanie Foundation and other underprivileged children were also among those whom City of Dreams has hosted at DreamPlay.

In light of the sustainable drive to enhance the lives of Bahay Aruga orphans, COD Manila is looking to improve their housing conditions. COD Manila team volunteers are slated to undertake house repair, wall and gate repainting, general cleaning and sanitation, and set up basic furniture and home items provision of the orphanage. COD Manila will also help ensure the health of the orphans through medical assistance and promote education with the building of a small library.

City of Dreams Manila’s employees also previously reached out to over 400 students of Paranaque Elementary School Central and San Dionisio Elementary School for a series of art workshops and storytelling activities, to encourage children to read. Hospicio de San Jose is another institution that they have hosted and periodically visited.

The Bahay Aruga children also created their own “Penguins of Madagascar” movie at the Dream Studio.

For the community at large, COD Manila continues its quarterly blood donation drive in partnership with the Philippine National Red Cross to provide a healthy blood supply for those in need in case of medical emergencies, have to date donated a total of 500 bags to the blood bank of Red Cross.

Caring for the environment is also one of the key advocacies of COD Manila. The integrated resort has participated in Earth Hour’s energy conservation campaign. City of Dreams Manila’s employees joined other volunteers and the Ocean Conservancy, Philippine Coastguard, International Coastal Cleanup Organization and Coast Guard Auxilliary at the annual international coastal cleanup at the Manila bay area. COD Manila further engaged its employees in an inter-departmental contest for creating decors out of recycled materials to raise awareness on sustaining the environment and helping curb global warming. In July and August, the COD Manila volunteers are also set to plant trees in the outskirts of Manila in the pursuit of environmental conservation and reforestation.

Goldilocks celebrates 50 Golden Years with Birthday Caravan

Tweet

As one of Goldilocks' initiatives to commemorates its 50 years of giving joy to many Filipinos, Goldilocks treats its employees, and the kids of its chosen charitable organizations, loyal customers, and us - bloggers with Birthday Caravan to Enchanted Kingdom last 1st of June, 2016.

The Birthday Caravan, which includes a two-day visit to Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, is part of its 50 Golden Years celebration.

We really enjoy the birthday caravan, party, games and program. . . and free rides! 

Goldilocks – a bakeshop chain in the Philippines that produces delicious cakes and pastries – was founded in May 15, 1966, started by the sisters...And they named it Goldilocks, a character from the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears . . . and here's the Goldilocks' history.

Goldilocks: 50 Golden Years of a Filipino Fairytale 

As Goldilocks celebrates 50 Golden Years of being the country’s number one bakeshop, its fairytale story still evokes delight and sweetness. Though their company history is not exactly an underdog tale, it does have the elements that Filipinos love: a small but exceptional start up, driven by pure determination, flourished by ingenuity, and topped with a uniquely Pinoy entrepreneurial spirit.

Even after five decades in the industry, the guiding principles of its founders (sisters Milagros Leelin-Yee and Clarita Leelin-Go) are are still very much alive and articulated in the Goldilocks vision statement: to be the leading Filipino global brand that will fulfill the changing customer needs through world-class products and services in markets served. Accordingly, from its initial offering of rolls, chiffon slices, and pastries, Goldilocks now offers full meal and merienda choices, catering services, and is now recognized as the foremost specialist when it comes to decorated cakes. 

The cakes, pastries, and well-loved dishes that have become so associated with Goldilocks (such as its Fluffy Mamon, Cheesy Ensaymada, Chiffon Cake Slice, Classic Brownies, Chicken Pie, Classic Polvoron, Classic Mocha Roll, Classic Chocolate Roll, Brazo de Mercedes, dinuguan, fresh lumpia, palabok, and laing, just to name a few) have since become the gold standard by which all others are measured.

Thus, for 50 years, the true taste of the Pinoy is still the anchor of their business. Indeed, Goldilocks encompasses everything that is unique, delicious, and delightful about the Filipino people.

The two sisters started their business small. Milagros, a professional nurse, supplied Manila school canteens with chiffon slices, while Clarita baked and decorated cakes for special occasions in Bicol. A twist of fate brought the sisters back together in Manila, and they decided to expand their hobby into something more fulfilling. Together with their sister-in-law Doris, and armed by their love of food, baking, and cooking, they opened a small bakeshop on Pasong Tamo in 1966. From just 10 employees and two display stands, Goldilocks has grown to 490 stores – both here and abroad – with some 5,000 local employees. It was a third sister, Maria Flor, who named the store based on prosperity and providence: Gold and Luck. From the P574 total sales in 1966, the company has multiplied its earnings thousands of times over, reaching a system-wide total of almost P10 billion as of last count.

Today, even after fifty years – five decades filled with sweet moments and countless Filipino celebrations – Goldilocks continues to build its legacy while staying true to its foundations. Even as the brand pursues innovation and finds new and meaningful ways to connect with a whole new generation of customers, total customer satisfaction still governs every activity.

As a result, Goldilocks is still moving forward, even after half a century of leadership. Indeed, a Filipino Fairytale was born and developed between 1966 to 2016, and it continues to grow stronger…. Happily Ever After.
