One minute to get as much groceries as you want, all for free. Who could say no to that?

That’s exactly what two lucky PayMaya users experienced when they won their very own grab-all-you-can grocery shopping spree from the promo held in partnership with Robinsons Supermarket, a PayMaya Preferred merchant.

PayMaya users, Joji Vasquez and Avegaile Villamor, were both chosen in the first raffle draw of the promo, which entitled them to a one-minute shopping spree at Robinsons Supermarket in Robinsons Galleria. The two had exactly sixty seconds to grab as much groceries as they can from the supermarket worth up to P10,000.

As homemakers, both Joji and Avegaile rushed to grab daily essentials for their homes including haircare, laundry products, and canned goods, during their minute-long shopping spree.

“I was very surprised when I won this special prize from PayMaya and Robinsons Supermarket. I’m really grateful for this opportunity and I’m happy I used PayMaya for my purchases,” said Joji.

Sulit Queens

PayMaya QR is the preferred payment option for sulit queens like Avegaile, who is always on the lookout for the best deals for their household needs. When you #ScanToPay for your groceries at the Robinsons Supermarket, you instantly get a P100 cashback once a week (for a minimum spend of P500), a raffle entry for a shopping spree worth P10,000 (for a minimum spend of P100), and a 1%, 10%, or 100% cashback for your purchases.

Both winners are long-time PayMaya users who already consider themselves as experts in taking advantage of cashback promos offered by the brand.

“I’ve been paying with PayMaya for a while now,” said Avegaile, who mentioned that she uses the app to purchase her groceries on weekends to avail the double cashback promo for QR payments.

“I always make it a point to pay using PayMaya for my groceries, shopping needs, and even bills, because they always offer cashback promos and rewards like this,” she added.

The next winner could be you! Simply visit your nearest Robinsons Supermarket branch and earn 1 electronic raffle entry for every P100 you spend via PayMaya QR. #ScanToPay and earn raffle entries until January 31, 2020 for a chance to win in the next and final draw happening on February 6.

Robinsons Supermarket has launched a “Farm to Table” campaign to showcase fruits and vegetables sourced and grown locally by farmers, towards raising awareness on the sustainability of supporting local farmers.

During the event held at Robinsons Place Magnolia, officials of Robinsons Supermarket awarded certificates of recognition to Dizon Farms, Sanctuario Nature Farms, Tublay Organic Farming Practitioners Association Inc., Alexis Lily Farm Enterprises, and Greenery Salad and Herbs for supporting local farmers and participating in the Farm to Table campaign.

Robinsons Supermarket Division Merchandising Manager Ardee Arieta and Merchandising Director Lyn De Jesus award certificates of recognition to Abel Sublino (Shalom Farms), Grace Pinza and Nilda Broncano (Golden Sprouts Marketing), Tonette Retona (Dizon Farms), Nilda Broncano (Golden Sprouts Marketing) and Jayson Manaligod (Metolius Valley Inc.).

At the one-day event, shoppers were treated to a wide array of fresh produce at bargain prices from Robinsons Supermarket’s suppliers.

Also present at the activity were officials of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) headed by Dr. Mario Capanzana. They received over P100,000 worth of donation for FNRI’s Nutri T.E.K (Teknolohiya, Edukasyon at Kabuhayan) Para Sa Lahat program.

The program aims to teach participants how to make plant-based delicacies like vegetable kutsinta, squash siomai and home-made chocolates. The donation was collected through Robinsons Supermarket’s “Eat the Rainbow” program that encourages consumers to eat multi-colored fruits and vegetables.

Now, besides knowing where fresh products are sourced, customers will also see select products labeled as “organic” or Good Agricultural Practice (GAP)-Certified. All these are part of Robinsons Supermarket’s effort to educate and empower customers to make healthier and better choices. Over 50 Robinsons Supermarket branches are currently participating in the Farm to Table campaign. The group expects to roll-out in all stores soon.

To know more about the campaign, visit Robinsons Supermarket’s official website at: www.robinsons-supermarket.com.ph or its Facebook page at Robsupermarketofficial.

It's July once more and it's Buddy Run again. It is one of the runs that my family is waiting for every year, because this is the only time that we're bonding in a fun run.



My kids really enjoyed it every year, even my eldest wants to try the 10km already. But this year it's a no run moment, because of so much blessings from above, "the rain". We just joined the warm up, still we weren't able to join the run because the fact that it's raining and we don't want to get wet that much, plus it's that early in the morning.

The 11th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run kicked off at the parade grounds of Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City with different types of running pairs, parents and kids, siblings, lolos and their apos, loved ones, officemates, best friends, even neighbors-competing in the 5K and 10K races.
"We are happy to provide an opportunity for people to start their wellness journey in a fun and one-of-a-kind event with their partners. After all, getting fit and choosing the healthier lifestyle is more worthwhile when shared with a buddy," said Jody Gadia, Robinsons Supermarket General Manager.

Presented by Robinsons Supermarket, the 11th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run 5K race offered a top prize of a trip for 2 to Siargao with 3 days/2 nights hotel accommodation while 2nd and 3rd placers get Php8,000.00 worth of Robinsons gift certificates. For 10k race podium finishers, the top prize includes a trip for 2 to Hong Kong with 3 days/2 nights hotel accommodation while 2nd and 3rd placers get Php15,000.00 worth of Robinsons Gift Certificates. Unfortunately and because of the heavy rain, equipment used during the run were shut off to avoid any accidents. Meaning to equipment to capture the time, it is just all fun run under the rain.

After crossing the finish line with their buddies and celebrating fitness in a fun and exciting way, most of the participants also enjoyed exciting activity booths and took home big grocery loot bags that have been the trademark of the Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run through the years.

Yah, we enjoyed the booths specially the purefoods booth because of the hotdog and the other like tocino, the drinks and the oatmeal.

The loot bags contained lots of freebies from Nestle, Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth Nutrition, Abbott Nutrition, Fonterra and Unilab.

Still, Robinsons give out the loot bags even to those who did not run. This is a very generous event. Though the rain did not stop, but we end up with a smile going home because of the freebies that we got.












The fun run is in line with Robinsons Supermarket's wellness commitment to continuously encourage more people to choose and live healthier lifestyles.




Hopefully by next year we will join again this run on their 12th year and we can also run. I love seeing my boys enjoying every moment with us.

Apart from the morning pandesal, rice is the most common food staple in the Filipino dining table, be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even merienda. It’s simply something that Pinoys can’t eat without.

Eating white rice, especially with sumptuous dishes, can really be filling, but it could also significantly add to one’s weight.

Thankfully, Filipinos have an alternative to having steamed rice for their everyday meals—brown rice.

One of the healthiest types of rice, brown rice is a fiber-rich whole grain that has little calories and contains no trans-fat or cholesterol. It is a good source of magnesium, phosphorous, selenium, thiamine, niacin, manganese, and vitamin B6.

With its nutrient rich bran, brown rice is a better option to white rice as it is proven to prevent heart disease and lower bad cholesterol, protect children against asthma, help maintain a healthy bowel function, help control blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of developing cancer, among other health benefits.

To help Filipinos eat healthy, Robinsons Supermarket was the first to partner with the Department of Agriculture and the Philippine Rice Research Institute to promote the use of brown rice in the country.

In December, it launched a promo that gave discounts for every kilo of participating brown rice products bought at selected Robinsons Supermarket and Robinsons Selections outlets.
This New Year, start the year right by adopting a healthy habit of eating brown rice. Go to any Robinsons Supermarket branch to choose from among the brown rice products available. Check out www.facebook.com/RobinsonsSupermarketOfficial or visit www.robinsons-supermarket.com.ph for more details.

Robinsons Supermarket’s “Give” promo inspires people to share wellness gift.

Believing that everyone is capable of giving and receiving, especially the gift of health, Robinsons Supermarket culminates its Route to Wellness campaign with its “Give” promo. The program aims to show people exciting ways to win prizes, get freebies, and share their blessings with other people. 

The Route to Wellness year-long campaign encourages Robinsons Supermarket customers to switch to a healthy lifestyle by providing nutritious food options to Filipino families through exciting and rewarding promos.
From November 1 to December 31, 2017, the Give Wellness promo will reward customers with a P100 off coupon when they spend P3000 worth of items inclusive of P500 worth of purchases from participating brands such as Enfagrow A+ Four, CDO, Selecta, Purefoods, Del Monte, Ceelin, Kojiesan, Promil Gold, Unilever, and P&G.
To officially kick-off the festivities, Robinsons Supermarket invited shoppers and their families to the “Give Wellness” event at the Eastwood Mall Open Park in Libis, Quezon City. McLisse graced the Event, that makes Patrons of Robinsons Supermarket enjoyed the program. McCoy De Leon and Elisse Joson or McLisse had fun during the games with their supporters and gave a few songs to thank Robinsons Shoppers.



Our Family had the opportunity to join the said kick off of Robinsons Supermarket. My kids really enjoyed the activities at the event. Here are some of the activities that they love.



Kuya Maki enjoyed the games that welcomed us right after we enter the venue. It was right next to the entrance. After the game, they gave my kids boxes milks and a water color. Both of them were so very happy. Next was the Cookie Kringle, they had a chance to design their own cookies. They both enjoyed making their DIY cookie design and guess what? They couldn't help themselves to munch on the cookies and ate it.


























The next activity was collecting the golden thingy in order for Robinsons Supermarket to donate some for  World Vision. This is their way of involving their patrons in helping others. First we explained the game to our kids and the reason why they are going to do it. Right after that the kids were very eager to do it because they already know that in that simple act they  can already help other kids. My kids know that my husband and I were foster children before that's why our family is inclined to this kind of activities. We know the feelings of being a foster child. Now as a parent, we really do our best to support our kids and provide them their needs. We're hoping that they will not experience what we experienced before. To impart that to our kids, we involve them in this kind of activity, helping other kids.

Through the event’s polar express theme, participants had a merry time hopping onto a train ride full of games and prizes, activities and freebies. With the goal of giving back to the community, they took part in a game where they collected golden balls with corresponding values to help Robinsons Supermarket reach its P100,000 worth of donations to World Vision, a Christian, relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

The “Give Wellness” event will travel to Novaliches from Nov. 10-12, Canlubang, Laguna from Nov. 17-19, and Gen. Trias, Cavite from Nov. 24-26 to enable people to discover and share the gift of health and wellness to others.
We had fan with the activities, and kudos to Robinsons Supermarket for these activities. It will surely benefits not only their shoppers but also others in need. I, myself is really thankful because I'm a Robinsons Shopper as well and realizing that while I'm doing my grocery I am already helping Robinsons Supermarket with their advocacy.

Mommies, you can also be a part of this activity, just visit the Robinsons Supermartket, and shop and be benefited as well. Grocery time can be one of your bonding time with your loved ones.

What happens when mothers come together to celebrate their personal advocacy of wellness? A Wellness Moms Movement emerges- a movement of change by mothers rallying as one for a better and healthier lifestyle.
Celebrity mothers and special guests were present during the official launch of Wellness Moms by Procter & Gamble and Robinsons Supermarket held recently at Marco Polo Ortigas, where different aspects of motherhood—Baby, Family/Household, and Personal Wellness—were openly discussed by celebrity mom guests Denise Laurel, Nikka Martinez-Garcia, and host Issa Litton during the talk show that highlighted as well P&G’s own wellness products and how they fit into one's life.
For example, Mom’s son returns home after playing outside, washing his hands with Safeguard for 99.9% germ protection before eating dinner. After mealtime, Mom can now easily wash away the grease of the dirty dishes with Joy Antibac, as well as any stains on her son’s clothes with Ariel Power Gel. Night time arrives and her baby daughter needs to sleep, so Mom soothes baby with Vicks Baby Rub, putting on her Pampers for a dry, peaceful sleep, covering her in a soft, comfy blankie, thanks to Downy Baby Gentle. These wellness products and their home benefits were presented in the Mealtime Tips and Bedtime Tips Wellness videos released online.

Moms shared their personal tips and bytes of advice to one another, talking about how Wellness Mom products have helped make their life at home an easier, safer, healthier and happier one. Also, to further showcase the unity of this movement, a special Moms for Wellness mosaic wall made up of photos of different moms around the country was also revealed.
Aside from P&G, Robinsons Supermarket, who has always supported the wellness movement, has proven that two is better than one when it comes to progress and change. This mutual undertaking paved the way for a solid partnership, which was also officially revealed last Thursday through the Wellness Moms promo! From now on, whenever one buys three of the participating Wellness Moms products (Safeguard, Joy Antibac, Ariel Power Gel, Downy Baby Gentle, Oral-B, Pampers, or Vicks Baby Rub) at any Robinsons Supermarket, he/she will instantly receive Robinsons Supermarket GC’s worth 50 pesos!
The media launch of the new Wellness Moms movement was not only an informative event, but also a fun gathering of moms who only want what’s best for their families. With games, new knowledge, and special P&G and Robinsons Supermarket giveaways, moms made their way home with an extra push of encouragement and motivation to continue living the Wellness Moms life.

It was July 5, 2015 when I first joined Robinsons’ Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run together with my hubby. It was the 7th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run and in which I didn't actually completed the whole 5k run but finished it of course and passed the finish line.
