Not every long break needs a plane ticket, a packed itinerary, or a big budget. Sometimes, having nowhere urgent to be is already something to look forward to.
With November 16 to 18 declared special non-working days in Metro Manila for the 49th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits, residents who normally have weekends off could enjoy five consecutive days away from work, beginning Saturday, November 14.
For many, that means more time for the things that usually get squeezed between deadlines, commutes, and daily responsibilities, whether that’s lingering over breakfast, catching up on a favorite series, trying a new restaurant, or simply enjoying a slower pace.
Of course, a few extra days off can also mean more opportunities to spend. Between spontaneous meetups, food deliveries, and small treats, holiday expenses can quickly add up.
One way to make the most of the break is to be more intentional about everyday spending. Taking advantage of deals and cashback offers can help stretch the budget without taking away from the experience.
For those staying in, convenience can also make a difference. Ordering a favorite meal for movie night or having groceries delivered before guests arrive means less time running errands and more time enjoying the weekend.
Through foodpanda, customers can order from participating restaurants and shop for groceries and essentials, depending on availability in their area.
For regular foodpanda users, EastWest offers an added perk through the EastWest foodpanda Visa credit card. Eligible cardholders can earn up to 10% cashback on their first ₱4,000 worth of qualified foodpanda purchases per billing cycle, equivalent to up to ₱400 in cashback. Succeeding qualified foodpanda transactions earn 3% cashback, subject to a total cashback cap of ₱1,000 per monthly billing cycle. Cashback rewards are automatically credited to the cardholder’s linked pandapay wallet, generally on a weekly basis.
A break worth enjoying, your own way
Whether the next few days mean catching up on sleep, discovering a new favorite meal, hosting friends, or finally spending uninterrupted time with loved ones, enjoying the break doesn’t have to come with an elaborate plan or a hefty price tag.
Sometimes, a little planning and a few savings along the way are enough to make the long weekend feel even more rewarding.
Customers can explore available restaurants, shops, and offers through the foodpanda app. To learn more about the EastWest foodpanda Visa Credit Card and its cashback benefits, visit the official EastWest website at www.eastwestbanker.com.
