Shopwise Antipolo unveils its updated look and assortment on May 26, 2022, highlighting a curated selection of imported goods and exclusive international brands. The recently renovated hypermarket, which is located in the commercial epicenter of Rizal province, aims to delight customers from Mega Manila through unique and elevated shopping experiences, augmented by world-class modern interiors and a high level of customer service.

Housing an extensive array of gourmet options and lifestyle products, the store offers exciting finds for a diverse and discerning market, from professional chefs and foodies to homemakers looking for unique ingredients and excellent merchandise options. The assortment currently includes products sourced from all over the world, such as exclusive product lines from leading food retailers and producers Woolworths of Australia, Meadows, and No Brand.

“From our redesigned lighting fixtures, to our grocery aisles and what we put on our shelves, the goal in our rebranding was for Shopwise Antipolo to give the best of what modern retail has to offer. This really comes down to store experience. We believe that we have the opportunity to cater to an emerging market of consumers who value better quality and specialized service, as well as convenience. After all, we’re doing it all under one roof,” shared Stanley Co, Managing Director of Robinsons Retail’s Supermarket Segment.

True to its value proposition to serve a large breadth of customer needs, Shopwise also showcases a product range beyond food and grocery, such as appliances, home and kitchen essentials, bed and bath, and general merchandise.

Onboarded brands include high grade kitchen appliances and kitchenware makers Russell Hobbes, Oster and Tefal. There is dinnerware by Corelle, which combines elegant style with durable design, and notable home furnishings manufacturers Seville Classics and Lifetime. The store also has premium bedroom linen from Hudson Essex, Pur & Calm, and Madison Avenue, among others.

Moreover, Shopwise Antipolo houses Project Pie of the Shakey's Group, which was one of the pioneers of the ‘build-your-own” pizza service. Diners can experiment and customize what goes on their meal as they choose from a multitude of ingredients that are freshly baked onto their pizza. Aside from this, the menu includes favorites like their famous chicken, pasta, and salads. Another crowd pleaser is Krispy Kreme, home of the original glazed doughnut.

“There’s a lot in store for our shoppers. We maintained the best facets of the old Shopwise and introduced changes to evolve with our target consumer. We are excited to welcome them in this re-envisioned space, where, hopefully, they feel that they get to travel the world through shopping with us," said Co.

Red Ribbon’s NEW Tiramisu Meltdown and Mango Graham Mousse Junior Cakes – Small ways to give big love today!

Tweet

There’s a lot to be thankful for everyday–something as simple as a good score on a test or a completed project, a commendation at work, being able to nail that TikTok dance, or meeting up with friends and relatives after a long time to simply catch up–are all causes for celebration.

Our fast-paced lives need not be a hindrance from giving love everyday to others and even to oneself and from celebrating even the smallest wins because sometimes, these are the moments that truly count. No matter how big or small, make these moments extra special with Red Ribbon’s NEW Tiramisu Meltdown and Mango Graham Mousse Junior cakes.

These junior cakes may come in small packages, but these are surely packed with flavors perfect for your everyday celebrations.

The Tiramisu Meltdown Junior is made with layers of soft chocolate chiffon and cream cheese with just enough hint of coffee, while the Mango Graham Mousse Junior is made of layers of crushed graham biscuits, exquisite mango cream, and creamy icing, topped with mango bits.

Thinking of ways how you could give love today and celebrate small wins despite your busy schedule? 

Here are some tips:

Long overdue catch ups

We spent the past two years Zoom-ing with the crew, and while technology afforded us a way to connect despite the distance, there’s really no better way to spend time with our circle of friends than sharing stories and good food together.

Make those long overdue catch ups more exciting with the refreshing Mango Graham Mousse Junior Cake.

Reunion potluck with the family

We all missed a meal that our relative or friend cooks so well. So, why not organize an intimate potluck get-together, where everyone could bring food for sharing!

The Red Ribbon Tiramisu Meltdown Junior is just the perfect food to bring as its unique chocolate-coffee flavor combination can easily make any celebration extra special and memorable.

Go Solo!

Who said indulging yourself a bit and enjoying the good stuff all to yourself is a crime? Besides, everyone has their own silent battles, and winning those battles deserve to be celebrated.

Choose between the Tiramisu Meltdown Junior or the Mango Graham Mousse Junior, or even pick both, because what’s stopping you from savoring your wins by going all out?

Celebrations do not always mean grand. These could be simple, quiet, and special. Make them extra memorable with Red Ribbon’s NEW Tiramisu Meltdown and Mango Graham Mousse Junior, which you can purchase at Php 420 and Php 440, respectively.

Anatomy of Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area Cast: The Crew Here to Steal the Show

Tweet

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area features an unprecedented heist in the chaotic dystopian peninsula of North and South Korea as they go on the verge of peaceful yet sudden unification. Below, we introduce the crew and cast who will not only execute, but fuel the ultimate heist to come!

Yoo Ji-tae, from the international award-winning film Old Boy, is the Professor – the mastermind behind the heist. The Professor plays a vital role in this series from the beginning, since he is responsible for organizing details and recruiting the thieves from North and South Korea. Yoo Ji-tae said, “To me, the Professor is a genius strategist who plans the heist through his principles and visions.” Behold how the Professor will meticulously guide his crew to execute this greatest heist.

Park Hae-soo, from the global sensation Squid Game, will shift gears to portray Berlin, a cold yet brutal member in Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area. A North Korean who spent 25 years in a concentration camp, Berlin plays a field leader among the thieves during the heist. The rebellious Berlin, who believes total control over people can only be derived from fear and division, will heighten the tension of the plot.

Jun Jong-seo plays Tokyo. She is a North Korean who immigrated to South Korea with a “Korean Dream” when the borders opened. Unlike how she imagined, her life in the South is not so dreamy, but sheer brutal. Just as she finds no hope in life, the Professor persuades her to join his master plan. Accepting his offer, Tokyo is one of the characters who truly has faith in the Professor. Jun Jong-seo commented on Tokyo as “a character whose every decision changes the entire flow of the game.”

Many more actors will add color to the biggest heist!

Lee Won-jong as Moscow 

Kim Ji-hun as Denver

Lee Won-jong plays Moscow, and Kim Ji-hun plays his troublesome son Denver. Moscow only dreams of living a normal life with his son. As a South Korean miner, Moscow will be responsible for digging the heist's grand exit. Denver, a former backstreet gang, will show his own emotional, sexy, yet friendly characteristics. Actor Kim Ji-hun, who was recently appointed to star as the main character in Netflix film Ballerina, will play this multifaceted and lively character.

Jang Yoon-ju as Nairobi

Lee Hyun-woo as Rio

Jang Yoon-ju plays Nairobi – a South Korean swindler who is an expert at making counterfeits. As previously seen in her past performances, including the film Veteran, Jang Yoon-ju will add energy to the screen. Lee Hyun-woo brings Rio to life – a former medical school dropout who is now the genius hacker of the crew. It would be interesting to see how Lee Hyun-woo, who has shown a broad appeal from various genres in films and K-dramas, will tackle this role.

(Kim Ji-hoon as Helsinki and Lee Kyu-ho as Oslo)

Kim Ji-hoon portrays Helsinki (aka Ko Myungtae), and Lee Kyu-ho plays Oslo. As ethnic Koreans and former members of a Chinese gang, the duo will be in charge of the team's arsenal.

Fully stored with colorful characters, Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area will premiere worldwide on June 24th only on Netflix!
