Studies have shown the great impact of COVID-19 on comfort food consumption in the Philippines. As we all deal with the pandemic in our own way, sometimes, all we want is the taste of something familiar, or something that reminds us of better times. This phenomenon has led us all to continually search for better-than-fast-food offerings with homegrown and trusted dine-in restaurants responding by offering better and tastier alternatives for takeaway or for delivery.

Take the case of Racks, the homegrown American comfort food and leading ribs restaurant chain in the Philippines. Racks has once again innovated product offerings and have used their famous pork ribs and US steak meats to launch three “real deal” sandwich-offerings, crafted by artisans especially for those who crave for juicy and tender meats marked with the signature freshly grilled flavor in their burgers in time for World Cheeseburger Day.

“These burger and sandwich offerings mark a significant milestone in Racks’ many years of offering interesting and well-loved American food favorites to Filipino foodies. We took heed of how much burgers have evolved to become one of the friendlier takeaway and delivery items  in the country and saw fit to offer our brand of burgers, and our take on these favorites to our customers,” said Eric Fontillas, Racks Marketing Manager.

With the on-going nationwide Covid-19 vaccine roll-out, thousands have been trooping to health facilities to get  their much-needed jabs. While some LGU-designated vaccination sites are located in open-air multi-purpose halls, there are those held in enclosed airconditioned function rooms, with the latter considered a cause of concern because of the possible virus transmission. But confined spaces with minimal airflow can be made safer by having a good number of air purifiers propped up in strategic places. One company with this product line saw the need to help & chose  to provide units to Mandaluyong City.

Panasonic, as part of its global campaign to spread the anti-Covid technology of nanoe^TMX has recently donated nanoe air purifiers and nanoe^TM X generators that have been verified to have inhibitory effects on the novel coronavirus to the City of Mandaluyong for use in the city's vaccination centers.

Maria, Panasonic Air-Conditioning Philippines CEO Masaru Toyota, Mandaluyong City Mayor Menchie Abalos, Life Solutions Group Country Head Yosuke Tanaka, and SM Vice President Christian Mathay.

The social good initiative was welcomed by no less than Mandaluyong City Mayor  Carmelita “Menchie” Abalos and City Health Officer Dr. Alex Sta. Maria last September 3, 2021, at the SM Megatrade Hall vaccination site. Panasonic representatives, Masaru Toyota, Panasonic Air-Conditioning Philippines (PACPH) President & CEO, Life Solutions Group Country Head Manager Yosuke Tanaka, and Communication & Product Planning Manager Francis Serrato were present during the turn-over.

“We truly are grateful to Panasonic for providing our city’s health workers and our Mandalenyos with the gift of safety and protection brought by the nanoe and nanoe^TM X anti-Covid technology,” Mayor Abalos said.

Restaurants have been one of the hardest hit in this more-than-a-year-old global pandemic. While most have closed shop, the few who have managed to survive, decided to take the high road, look after the people who are the most impacted by this and turn things around for them.

Tenya, Japan’s number one tempura tendon chain, is one of the few who stepped up. Aside from being an ally at the onset of the global CoVid 19 outbreak in 2020, such as its tie-ups with Hands-On Manila and Make-A-Wish Foundation, it also launched TENYA LOKAL. This farm-to-table initiative has provided their local food producer-partners a steady stream of income, getting rid of the middlemen and ensuring high quality food staples are on the diners’  plates.

With the brand’s Japanese craftmanship  and Filipino produce, Tenya has come up with these affordable dishes found on the TENYA LOKAL menu.

Their prices start at Php 145 for their ramens, Php 165 for their donburi bowls and bento box ranging from Php 195-Php 245.
