Grab FanFaves Voting Opens, Top Fans Get a Shot at a Year’s Supply of their Fave Dishes

Tweet

 In Grab’s annual FanFaves, cravings turn to ballots. And this year, those votes could reward fans with a year’s worth of their favorite dish.

Grab Philippines has recently launched this year’s iteration of Grab FanFaves, its annual order campaign that crowns the Philippines’ most beloved dishes. The nationwide program invites Filipinos to vote with their orders, turning everyday cravings into ballots that decide which food items will be named the country’s top fan favorites.

Running until September 30, 2025, Grab FanFaves empowers fans to show support for their go-to meals and snacks. With every qualified order, users not only push their favorite dish closer to the crown. And to make things even tastier, voters could score the ultimate reward—an entire year’s worth of the Platinum-winning dish they championed.

Crowning the Nation’s Favorites

FanFaves will recognize winners across three key categories:

●     Platinum Fan Fave – The ultimate national food icons.

●     Gold Fan Fave – A people’s stamp of approval.

●     Regional Fan Fave – Local champions in Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

This year’s campaign will span an expanded set of categories that reflect the diversity of Filipino cravings. Fans can vote for their favorites across different categories: Fried Chicken, Grilled Chicken, Flavored Chicken, Pizza, Fries or Onion Rings, Coffee, Burgers, Chicken Burgers, Rice Bowls, Healthy Options, Pasta, Cakes, and Coke Sulit Combo Deals. New to FanFaves 2025 are the highly anticipated categories of Coolers, Desserts, Filipino Dishes, Coke Zero Thrill Meals, Sprite Spicy Hits, and Royal Merienda Bites, celebrating both modern indulgences and timeless classics. In addition, Grab will also crown the top Dine Out Fan Fave among restaurants that are offering Grab Dine Out Deals in-store.  

Joining GrabFood FanFaves 2025

Participating is simple:

●     Order any participating dish from the FanFaves tile on the GrabFood homepage during the campaign period, where you’ll find all items under the Iconic, Trending Faves, and Coke-Sponsored categories.

●     1 order = 1 vote. Every order is counted as a ballot for the chosen food item.

●     Every order of a participating SKU comes with a GrabRewards voucher directing them to the official FanFaves Registration Form. Users must register through the form to secure their raffle entry.

At the end of the campaign, one lucky voter per Platinum-winning brand will be randomly selected to win a one-year supply of the winning favorite dish they voted for.

The Ultimate Fan Reward

Come October 2025, winners will be treated to the ultimate reward: one free Platinum-winning dish every week for a year. With 52 redemptions in total, the discount will be auto-applied at checkout whenever the dish is added to their basket — no extra steps needed.

More Than Just a Campaign

FanFaves has grown into a cultural pulse check on what Filipinos crave most — from enduring national icons to emerging local favorites. By placing fans at the center, GrabFood celebrates both community pride and the country’s diverse food culture.

Director for Deliveries EJ DeLa Vega shares, “FanFaves has always been about celebrating the flavors and dishes that bring us together as Filipinos. This year, we are thrilled to once again give our consumers the chance to not only shape the results but also enjoy their favorites in a truly rewarding way.”

Users can check the leaderboard, track the fan favorites, and catch all the behind-the-bite action at grabfanfaves.com.

HONOR Magic V5, New Benchmark for Foldable Phones?

Tweet

Slim and Powerful Battery is the secret sauce of HONOR Magic V5

Leading smart devices provider HONOR Philippines is gearing up for the arrival of its newest and thinnest foldable phone – the HONOR Magic V5! Coming this September 5, HONOR Magic V5 sports the biggest battery out of all its counterparts in the market to date. Catch the launch live on Facebook: https://bit.ly/MagicV5Launch_FB.

“To complement its cutting-edge battery technology, the HONOR Magic V5 supports 66W Wired charging versus other brands’ 25W – offering fast and versatile charging solutions to keep users powered up throughout the day. It also comes with a durable phone case and charger which competitors don’t have,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

Do more with HONOR Magic V5, literally

A key enabler of the HONOR Magic V5’s ultra-slim design is its advanced silicon-carbon battery, the thinnest and ultra high-capacity battery ever used in a foldable. At just 2.3mm thick, it incorporates silicon-based anodes, theoretically offering up to 10 times the lithium-ion storage capacity of traditional graphite anodes. This increased energy density allows for a smaller battery without sacrificing battery life.

These innovations result in a compact yet powerful 5820mAh dual-battery system, occupying around 26% of the device’s internal volume. This battery, combined with other optimizations in the hinge, display, camera, and motherboard, enables HONOR to achieve a foldable that’s not only thinner but also more durable and robust than ever before.

Don’t miss the arrival of #MyFirstFoldable HONOR Magic V5 on September 5, live on Facebook: https://bit.ly/MagicV5Launch_FB.
