CBTL ‘Leave a Legacy’ campaign

Planners are always a hit before the year ends, one of which is The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® – The Giving Journal. Now on its 10th year,  the Giving Journal, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® celebrates its journey of giving through the years with a central theme: LEAVE A LEGACY. The brand dedicates its 10th year to its purpose – to empower each individual to live excellently and purposefully by living a life of service to others.

Every word in each page of the Giving Journal is thoughtfully written, meant to enable its readers to reflect. An excerpt from one of the chapter articles goes:

“The question for everyone alive today is this: What kind of legacy will you leave behind? Will you leave a beautiful legacy for others to enjoy? Or will you leave a legacy of debt, pain, poverty, and sin that the people who come after you will have to pay for?”

Every year, those who partake in the holiday tradition of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® by supporting their Giving Journal initiative is able to help live out the legacy of the Real LIFE Foundation, the direct beneficiary of the Giving Journal.

To make its 10th year even more special, the 2018 lineup of Giving Journals from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® comes with a customizable cover specially made for individuals who use art as a form of creative self-expression. Three other Giving Journals are available in colors of green, grey, and blue, with designs that reflect The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®’s premium coffees and teas.

GCash partners with Noel Bazaar for early Holiday shopping

Nowadays, having a GCash can really give us the advantage. This year, GCash has partnered with Noel Bazaar to make shopping even easier with the scan to pay feature and give customers a treat with 10% cashback for their purchases with GCash.

Aside from making the holiday rush easier through cashless payments, the GCash promo makes this season more exciting by allowing GCash users to shop at as many stalls as they want at the Noel Bazaar and get the 10 percent cashback as long as they use GCash. Shoppers are awarded a maximum of P100 cashback for every stall they buy at when they use GCash to pay for their purchase. That means a lot of savings and opportunities to find the best gifts for your loved ones!

Noel Bazaar, is considered the granddaddy of all bazaars, with over 500 participating merchants and average daily visitors of around 6,500. It offers a wide range of gift suggestions from fashion and beauty products, gifts, toys and novelty items to travel essentials and airline tickets. The shopping mecca also includes an International Food Feast for hungry shoppers. One of the highlights of the bazaar is the GMA Celebrity Ukay-Ukay & GMA Auction, featuring pre-loved items GMA Kapuso Stars sell at a very affordable price. This year’s GMA Celebrity Ukay-Ukay offers items from “Ultimate Star” Jennylyn Mercado, “Meant To Be” Boys (Ken Chan, Jak Roberto, Ivan Dorschner and Addy Raj), and the “Celebrity Glam Moms” (Yasmien Kurdi, Lj Reyes, and Chynna Ortaleza).

GCash, the country’s leading cashless payment service, is already being accepted in many stores nationwide. GCash has made it easy for its users to pay and collect money from the app —from booking a ticket to paying bills and shopping online, at the mall or at the Noel Bazaar—providing transparency and allowing easy tracking of purchases through the GCash App.

Until our next discovery in the City!
