  The TNT Tropang 5G team manager plus other hoop stars brings the Jolas Cup Back to Cagayan de Oro. For love of the game, PLDT Home and TNT Tropang 5G bring fans closer to the action. Basketball legend Jojo Lastimosa and stars Poy Erram, Rey Nambatac, and Glenn Khobuntin unite on stage with the lucky winners of their hand-signed TNT jerseys.

foodpanda brings vacation vibes to your doorstep Summer isn’t always about clocking out and heading on vacation. For a lot of people, it still means the usual work grind—packed schedules, nonstop tasks, and grabbing quick little breaks whenever possible. But hey, even if you’re not jetting off anywhere, there are still plenty of ways to soak up those summer vibes. If your days are spent working through the heat, those in-between moments start to matter more: a quick pause, something cold to recharge, or a meal you don’t have to think too much about. It’s not about taking time off, but finding small pockets of ease within the day. In this way, summer becomes less about taking a break and more about how you take breaks. Simple rituals—like an iced drink during a busy afternoon or a well-timed meal after a long stretch of work—can bring that same light, refreshing feeling. Platforms like foodpanda and services like pandamart, make these moments easier to access without the extra tri...
