Max’s celebrates 75 years of Sarap-To-The-Bones®

Tweet

October 18, 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of Max’s Restaurant – a beloved culinary heritage brand. In a year that has seen unprecedented changes in the way we work, live, and eat, it is a remarkable milestone, nonetheless, that deserves to be celebrated. 

From its humble origins along Scout Tuazon in post-World War II Philippines - serving American troops delicious, tender, juicy, and crispy fried chicken - this once-simple cafe started by Maximo Gimenez and his niece Ruby Trota has since expanded into a global household name and a proud Filipino tradition, not just in the Philippines but across the United States, Canada, the Middle East, and Singapore. 

This coming Sunday, over 160 Max’s Restaurants will be celebrating this proud family legacy that continues to this day, led by the Trota and Fuentebella families. 

For 75 years, Max’s has consistently delighted customers near and far with honest-to-goodness food, anchored by its famous Sarap-To-The-Bones® Fried Chicken and renditions of classic local dishes that have long-established this homegrown success story as the flagship of Filipino culture and cuisine. Now, even as social distancing remains a top priority and staying at home is encouraged, “The House That Fried Chicken Built” continues to be there for every kind of family who comes together and celebrates their occasions, big and small—wherever, however, and whomever they choose to do it with. 

“2020 has certainly been an extraordinary year for us and if there’s one thing that we can take away from being around for 75 years, it is to stay true to our purpose,” said Mark De Joya, Operations & Marketing Director of Max’s Restaurant. “At Max’s, we stand by our promise that has driven us for the past 75 years and will continue to do so in the years ahead, here and across the globe: to bring families together.”

In honor of this special occasion, Max’s is introducing a series of birthday that are sure to give customers a delightful experience, whether they choose to dine-in, takeout, or order for delivery. 

First up, families who dine-in on October 18 automatically get 75% OFF their regular Fried Chicken with every order of Max’s 75th Blowout Bundle that includes one Sinigang na Tiyan ng Bangus, Sizzling Tofu, and a regular Pancit Canton; priced at P957. What’s more, Max’s Rewards cardholders can enjoy the exclusive perk of having their favorite Fried Chicken for P75 ONLY. Talk about a truly Sarap-To-The-Bones® premium deal! These promos are valid for dine-in transactions only on October 18, 2020. Available in all stores nationwide.

A different kind of online learning for your kids at Macquarie Prep School : The innovative preschool, open for enrollment year-round, takes the Montessori Method online

Tweet

With the current situation resulting in a necessary shift to digital learning, it’s only normal that parents be concerned about how to educate their children away from the actual schools. While learning using the internet and other online resources may be innovative, the quality of learning children receive through these methods is also an important thing to consider.

These challenges in the online learning era are why Macquarie Preparatory School is bringing its fun and unique Montessori Method to preschoolers at home, with all-year-round enrollment open to students across the Philippines in the 2020-2021 school year.

Macquarie, an accredited Member of Montessori Australia, is a preschool that teaches its students the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic using the highly-touted Montessori Method. Through the Montessori Method, students learn lessons through the use of Montessori materials designed to teach concepts. Of course, Macquarie’s highly-trained teachers are also present to guide students in each learning session through video conferencing.

During the current pandemic, these Montessori materials can be sent to their homes or picked up at the campus—with nationwide delivery available. Class sizes are capped at four students per class to best maximize the potential for learning in each session.

Parents are also encouraged to lend a hand in their child’s learning, as Macquarie gives them a digital app that allows them to review lessons, track their child’s progress, contact administrators, and more. They also get access to a digital library with which they can practice reading at home.

With the Montessori Method and the experience and expertise of its staff, Macquarie Preparatory School can get your child ready not just for school, but for life. Let go of your worries about your child’s learning in these extraordinary times, and schedule an online consultation at macquariepreschool.com/book-online.

To celebrate TikTok’s diverse and growing community, the Philippines’ top artists Ben&Ben, Iñigo Pascual and Rico Blanco will perform LIVE on TikTok Philippines this Sunday, October 18, 2020 at 5PM for the platform’s biggest virtual event of 2020, #GenTikTokPH.

“Music is universal and powerful. It is what unites us with the community. #GenTikTokPH will be a celebration of everything we created out of love through music. Invite your Mahiwaga and let us have a wonderful time,” said Miguel Benjamin Guico, Ben&Ben. 

The 2-hour online LIVE show will feature various performances from top local artists, dancers, and content creators including JMKO, Kuya Ching, Madelaine Red, Mikey Bustos, Ralphe Austria, and many more. Auntie Julie, aka Macoy Dubs will be hosting the online event.

#GenTikTokPH is a recreation of the great moments on TikTok -- from entertainment to education and top trends. This is for the Generation TikTok and who made things happen.

“Expect nothing but a happy feeling all throughout! I’ll see you on Sunday,” said Rico Blanco. The OPM icon was TikTok’s ambassador for the #TikTokOPMPlaylist campaign which promoted independent Filipino musicians and local talents to the app’s growing audience back in October 2019. Since then, he continued to make OPM an ever-present content on the platform.

TikTok was built to inspire and enrich people’s lives through experiences that are genuine, joyful, and positive. TikTok has gone beyond being just a  content platform. TikTok is the content, the community and the culture that it created.

“Every click of the record button starts canvas for human creativity and every phone screen becomes a window to our world. Whether one’s making, remaking, reacting, or simply watching, we’re changing the world one TikTok video at a time. We’re happy and grateful to share this milestone to our community,” said User Content and Operations Manager John Castro. 

With its growing community of creators and users in the Philippines, TikTok is now ready to take the platform on a whole new level with a big announcement! After the event, TikTok will no longer be the same as they’ll take further all the creative possibilities.

A stunning view of rolling mountains and the placid Taal Lake is a priceless feature enjoyed by homeowners at Vireya 

Shifting to a more nature-centric lifestyle is becoming the norm these days. More people are joining the fold who are turning to nature not only for its healing powers but out of an urgent need for a primary home space that provides more than just an occasional escape. Whatever it is that ails our spirits, there remains a tranquil lifestyle haven one can graciously indulge in – Vireya, Tagaytay Highlands’ first and only tropical-themed residential resort community. Here, nature’s splendor serves as a perfect setting for those yearning for a healthy, well-balanced and holistic escape all year round.

Spend calm afternoons with nature at the neighborhood treehouse 

Located at the highest point of The Midlands in Tagaytay Highlands, Vireya is an exceptional paradise that lets one experience a rare combination of leisure, pleasure and relaxation – the cool, misty ambience of the mountains and the warm, vibrant tropical flavors of the village. Its lot sizes range from 250 to 612 square meters. Vireya features sleek modern homes with cozy lanai entradas, high-pitched roofs, wood and stone finishes, wide glass windows that let the outdoors in, and pretty patios situated near landscaped flower gardens. Truly, Vireya is where different elements of nature’s grandeur and tropical architecture are perfectly put together, creating a Bali-inspired community that is worth coming home to every day. 

Vireya’s gated community is completely private and secure for homeowners’ peace of mind 

Within Vireya’s rejuvenating atmosphere, palm and coconut trees rise amid a stunning view of rolling mountains and the placid Taal Lake, a priceless feature that complements the gated community’s world-class facilities –completely private, secure, and lavish for a home you can finally call your very own. 

This tropical resort community redefines a well-balanced and relaxed lifestyle for young growing families with its exclusive leisure amenities designed to cater to different lifestyle choices and rejuvenate everyone when escaping the city life: the Pavana, a pavilion with a swimming pool; the Ammanya Massage Point with huts that serve as massage areas; a treehouse; spacious parks; and herb gardens.

Vireya is an exceptional paradise that lets one experience a rare combination of leisure, pleasure and relaxation. 

With the long-held view that basking in the morning sun can boost immunity levels, increase mental alertness, and help the body produce vitamin D to build strong bones, residents can look forward to going home to Vireya which fosters space that’s conducive to good health. 

Artist’s perspective of Vireya’s architectural tropical theme 

Situated right within the heart of Tagaytay Highlands, Vireya is a 70-km scenic drive from the central business district of Makati via the South Luzon Expressway and the major roads of Cavite. 

To sustain its vision to be the exclusive property of choice for luxury mountain resort living, Tagaytay Highlands continues to assure its residents of efficient property management services.
