Dole’s Sun-Powered Promo Ends with the Biggest Pachinko Game in the World

Posted on July 30, 2021 by The Prudent Mama

MANILA, Philippines – Did you catch Dole & Seasons Plantation Pachinko grand raffle draw? Php 1 million for the taking in a draw that’s larger than life! The Plantation Pachinko aired live on the official Dole PH Facebook page last July 27.

For the past 2 months, Dole and Seasons have been bringing #SunshineForAll by giving away daily cash prizes to lucky Filipinos who entered the first-ever sun-powered promo, ‘Araw Araw Base sa Sikat ng Araw.’

Winners took home up to Php 40,000 every day, depending on the sunshine level at the Dole plantation in Polomok, South Cotabato. It was a battle for the brightest sun power! However, the excitement didn’t end there: Dole and Seasons gave one lucky winner Php 1 million in the Plantation Pachinko grand draw!

But this Pachinko isn’t like any that you’ve seen before.

The big finale culminated in what could be the world’s largest Pachinko board, set in Dole’s Pineapple Plantation in Polomolok, South Cotabato.

The event was hosted by Robi Domingo, Gretchen Fullido, and Karl Jingco. All entries from the first leg of the promo were eligible to win the grand prize. The mechanics were simple – if your unique number matches the winning combination as played and as featured in the giant Dole Pachinko, you win!

Living in these times of uncertainty, Dole is armed with the purpose of brightening the Filipino people’s lives with exciting and innovative promos that have never been done before – a first in the Philippines! All while reminding Filipinos that health is ultimately wealth, with Dole and Seasons’ nutritiously delicious products made from naturally-grown fresh fruits, nourished by the sun.

“We are truly grateful to all our ‘iDoles’ who participated in this promo. It is through your support that we are able to truly spread Sunshine For All. Just like how the power of the sun nourishes Dole’s pineapples, you made all these happen — you all are our sunshine who made this achievement sweeter!” said Je Diana, Dole’s Corporate Communications Officer.

The winning entry of the Plantation Pachinko roll was lucky number, 3335922.

”As part of our fulfillment of our Dole promises, we are committed to creating shared value to all our stakeholders through access to nutrition. We will continue to work hard to spread Sunshine For All by making nutritious products available to different walks of life. We are driven by our purpose — to make this world a better place for the next generation one step at a time,” added Diana.

This promo was created by Dole in collaboration with leading ideas agency, GIGIL.

Lucky Pinoys Win Up to Php 40,000 Daily in Dole’s Sun-Powered Promo

Posted on July 6, 2021 by The Prudent Mama

MANILA, Philippines – Dole and Seasons kicked off their ‘Cash Prizes Araw-Araw Base sa Sikat ng Araw’ promo last May 25, and many daily winners are already enjoying their prizes!

The lucky winner of Php 17,200 is Diana Non, from Taguig City. She chanced upon the promo after being a long-time follower of Dole on Facebook.

“ Napanood ko yung live ni Gretchen & Robi, pinakinggan ko ang mechanics and super na-excite ako talaga. Kaya bumili agad ako ng Dole Pineapple Juice para makasali,” she said.

(“I caught Gretchen & Robi’s livestream, so I listened to the mechanics and it got me really excited. That’s why after watching the live show, I immediately purchased Dole Pineapple Juice to join,” she said.)

Non expressed her gratitude, as the money had been life-changing saying, “Sobrang laking tulong ito sa akin at sa aking pamilya, lalo na sa panahon na ito na mahirap ang hanapbuhay dahil sa pandemya. Sobrang natuwa ako kasi may tindahan ako na kakasimula lang nung January, yung perang napanalunan ko ay dinagdag ko sa puhunan ko.”

(“This is a big help for my me and my family, especially at a time like this with the pandemic making it harder for us to make ends meet. I was really happy since I just opened up a store last January, and I added my winnings to my investment.”)

There is so much uncertainty in these times as the pandemic continues to drastically change the lives of many. Dole is committed to bringing #SunshineForAll, giving everyone the chance to win in this promo.

The odds were in favor of Ryan Jay Olpot, who took home Php 12,800. Unfortunately, Olpot is one of the millions of Filipinos who had lost their jobs to COVID-19.

“Sumali ako since nawalan ako ng work. At syempre matagal na akong bumibili ng Dole Pineapple Juice dahil bukod sa mas mura ay unsweetened siya which is healthier. Malaki ang naitulong sa amin since need ko talaga ng pambayad ng mga bills. Nakabili ako ng pagkain at mga gamot,” he shared.

(“I joined because I was out of work. And of course, I’ve been a long-time drinker of Dole Pineapple Juice, as it’s not only cheap but it’s also unsweetened which makes it healthier. The prize money was a big help for us, since we still need to pay bills even after I lost my job. I was also able to buy food and medicine,” he shared.)

Erin’s Place: Lutong Bahay Experience by Chef Nanay

Posted on June 14, 2020June 14, 2020 by The Prudent Mama

Moms hardly get a day-off especially this quarantine period! We cook to fill our family’s tummies. We clean and sanitize everything 24/7. We became our kids’ teacher for now. We also risk ourselves whenever we go out to run errands. This is really tiring! As moms, we can complain and ask for help but for sure we’ll still end up doing everything because we want to and that’s what moms do. Haha!

Last Sunday, Chef Nanay treated me to a well deserved day-off by sending us a couple of my favorite lutong bahay dishes from Erin’s Place Restaurant.

The delivery was very prompt, I had scheduled it for lunch and the food arrived around 10:30am. Chef Nanay have their own delivery guy, too. No need to book thru a delivery/courier service. I have just enough time to take some photos! Now off to the taste test part. 😉

I got 5 of their delectable dishes. I was also surprised that it was so heavy when the delivery guy handed it over to me. I thought there was a mistake with the delivery. When I opened the brown bag I was really surprised to see how generous their servings are! They sent me food good for 6-10 people.

I tasted the Beef in Mushroom Sauce first since it’s one of my favorite dish. The beef was so tender! I can taste the creaminess of the sauce with bits and pieces of mushroom in it. Oh boy, I make this dish too but Chef Nanay leveled up the creaminess and buttery taste of it.

I then moved on to taste their Fried Chicken. They sent a whole chicken so imagine how happy Renz and Luke was. It was really a feast. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It was seasoned just right even with the breast part. Chef Nanay’s Fried Chicken is perfectly partnered with banana ketchup. Just like many Pinoy’s want.

My tummy’s getting all filled up by now so I tried Chef Nanay’s Chopsuey. It was a mix of cabbage, carrots, baguio beans, bell pepper and pork. The vegetables was tender-crisp. I can still savor it’s crunch in every bite!

Next up is Chef Nanay’s Dinuguan. The pork was really tender. The sweetness and sourness of the dish was balanced. Since one of the main ingredient of this dish is pork’s blood, I am very particular when it comes to the taste of Dinuguan. I didn’t taste any lansa at all.

And now my favorite: Salmon. Sinigang na Ulo ng Salmon. I love that I can taste the sourness of the Sinigang! The strong fishy taste of the Salmon was mellowed by the ginger bits I found in the soup. This dish has a really huge serving, 3 big salmon heads with lots of Kangkong.

The verdict: Chef Nanay will bring back your memories of home! Lutong Bahay indeed! Since their servings were really generous I also shared and sent some food to my mom back home. They got to enjoy Chef Nanay’s delectable dishes too. I heard from a friend that their Barbeque and Chicken Inasal is superb too. We’ll try that soon.

Get to experience alaga ni Chef Nanay by ordering thru Erin’s Place Restaurant’s Facebook Page/Instagram or by calling 0906-211-1129.

Erin’s Place Restaurant is located at Bayani Road, Western Bicutan, Taguig City. They also have a branch in Tagaytay City.

We’d love to visit there once this pandemic is over! Thank you Dave of Erin’s Place Restaurant for introducing Chef Nanay to us!
