Toblerone gives OFWs a sweet reason to come home

MANILA, Philippines - There’s nothing more special than spending time with your family in a tropical paradise. But what if your loved one is living overseas?

 With Toblerone’s Thank You Global Pinoy Campaign, you can now give them a reason to come home for a vacation. As part of this initiative, the country’s thank-you chocolate is making the Special Rewards Passport available to those who buy two Toblerone PasPacks at Duty Free Fiesta Mall in Parañaque City. The Special Rewards Passport will allow the bearer to redeem over P10,000 worth of gifts and special discounts from 24 partner establishments, including some of the country’s top resorts and spas, all offering delights found only in the Philippines:

• Maribago Bluewater. Delight in what Maribago has in store for you: white sand beaches surrounded by coconut palms, lagoon pools, and a range of aqua sports such as scuba diving, snorkeling, jet-skiing, and island hopping to try together.

• Bellarocca Island Resort & Spa at Marinduque. Enjoy delightful body treatments that will melt your stress away. Ready for adventure? Discover the native flora and fauna as well as the waterfalls and hot springs in the area. Trek to the Bathala caves and explore the Tambalan caves situated on a 300-meter hill.

• Plantation Bay Cebu. Known for its delectable cuisine, Plantation Bay offers a wide array of international and local food choices. After a great meal, succumb to the lure of adventure and try out scuba diving, parasailing, jetskiing, water skiing, and more.

• Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park in Cavite. Dubbed as the best family-oriented adventure resorts in the Philippines, Island Cove boasts a diverse mix of sports, recreation, leisure facilities as well as unique restaurants.

Maribago Bluewater, Island Cove and Leisure Park, Cebu Plantation Bay and Bellaroca Island Resort are one with the goal of Toblerone and Duty Free Philippines to pay tribute and to recognize the ultimate global overseas Filipino through the Thank You Global Pinoy Awards. A purely below-the-line initiative, it is open to outstanding overseas Filipino workers who deserve to be thanked.
