Leia Valenciano takes the lead in inspiring children thru World Vision’s Give Hope campaign

 

World Vision in the Philippines welcomes to its family Leia Valenciano as its ambassador for Give Hope campaign.

 

Nataleia Martine, known to many as “Leia”, is the 3-year old daughter of Director Paolo Valenciano and wife Photographer/ Graphic Designer Samantha Godinez-Valenciano. Paolo and Sam are also World Vision ambassadors and actively supporting the organization thru various projects.

 

Give Hope is about letting children’s dreams live on

 

Based on World Vision’s rapid assessment in the Philippines on the impact of COVID-19 to children, their families and communities, learning opportunities or education for the young generation is one of the most critical problems in the country.

 

As a child-focused non-profit organization that is committed to ensuring that children are able to reach their full potential, World Vision launched Give Hope to challenge the nation to work together in making our homes and communities places where children’s dreams continue to be realized.

 

Through the help of generous partners, World Vision aims to reach 28,000 children in their partner communities nationwide through this initiative.

 

No one is too young to make a change

 

Aside from encouraging the public to contribute in raising funds that will assist the children in continuing their education, World Vision believes that anyone can make a difference and give hope no matter how young or old you are!

 

“We support this back to school campaign and the importance of still equipping kids with learning materials to give them hope and keep them driven to learn even if they're not in their usual school setting,” shared Sam Valenciano. “We as parents have experienced the anxiety of adjusting to the new normal. We believe that this program will help not only the children but the parents as well”

 

Just like her parents, Leia is excited that she is beginning her journey with World Vision where at the age of 3, she is able to make a long-lasting impact for the benefit of the most vulnerable children today.

 

“This World Vision campaign is made even sweeter with Leia, one of our newest and youngest ambassadors! As she brings big smiles to our hearts, we hope that you too will continue to give hope to children though education. Together with Leia, let’s give school kits to many students across the country”, said Mr. Rommel Fuerte, World Vision National Director.

Annyeongsarap! McDonald’s Turns Up the Heat on K-Inspiration, Launching Its Largest-Ever Korean Flavor Platform Building on the iconic McSpicy x G-DRAGON collaboration launched in September, McDonald’s Philippines is upping the heat of K-experience for fans and customers with the return of a bigger and better Taste of Korea menu, featuring limited-time Korean-inspired McSpicy, Double Cheeseburger, McShaker Fries and McFloat. Pinoy fans of Korean food and culture can savor and celebrate the Korean flavors they love starting October 9, with the new Yangnyeom McSpicy, Yangnyeom Double Cheeseburger, Galbi McShaker Fries, and K-Melon Float. Together, they deliver a total Korean flavor experience that is accessible and uniquely McDonald’s: truly Annyeongsarap! “Korean culture continues to unite Pinoys of all ages and groups, especially Korean food and culinary experiences. The buzz we’ve seen around the recent McSpicy x G-DRAGON collaboration, as well as our Taste of Korea and Flavors of Asia menus in 2021 and 2022 show how strong Pinoys’ affinity towards all things-Korean. Now, we’re excited to elevate the heat further on the K-experience with our new Taste of Korea offerings. We invite customers and fans to discover new favorites and enjoy a taste of Korea,” said Karl Christian Chua, McDonald’s Philippines Brand Manager. The Taste of Korea line-up is a complete K-experience that brings together some of the bold, craveable, and distinctly Korean flavors that Filipinos have come to love. From sweet and spicy favorites to smoky, savory, and refreshing tastes, each item is inspired by the richness of Korean food culture, now within reach at McDonald’s. The Yangnyeom twist on both the McSpicy and the Double Cheeseburger delivers a sweet, savory, and bold kick through its creamy and spicy yangnyeom sauce. The Galbi McShaker Fries excites the taste buds with smoky, savory, and slightly sweet Galbi flavor elevating the fan-favorite World Famous Fries. Rounding out the flavor experience is the K-Melon McFloat, a refreshing Sprite McFloat-based dessert drink with the sparkle of sweet melon inspired by the popular South Korean ice cream brand Melona. Completing the K-experience: K-inspired kilig and McDo App deals McDonald’s Philippines’ Taste of Korea experience goes further beyond the K-flavor excitement, as the brand is also premiering “The Plus One,” a new microdrama to deliver K-inspired kilig. Three lifelong friends, Kim, Marco and Dom, have always dreamed of going to Korea. One day, Kim wins a dream trip to the Land of the Morning Calm, but she can only take one of her friends as plus one. Marco and Dom hilariously compete for that coveted spot, but who will she choose? "At McDonald’s, we’re always looking for ways to bring total experiences to our customers beyond exciting flavors. Taste of Korea captures the vibrant flavors that have become so popular among Filipinos, and we’re excited for customers to try this lineup. And with ‘The Plus One,’ we’re elevating the Korean experience further, bridging Filipinos’ strong affinity for Korean entertainment and the growing popularity of microdramas with their love for Korean food," added Chua. McDonald’s Philippines is also making Taste of Korea within reach for its customers, through McDo App exclusive promos of only P199 for a Yangnyeom McSpicy with FREE Large Sprite and only P169 for a Yangnyeom Double Cheeseburger also with FREE Large Sprite. Experience the excitement of Korean flavors and go “Annyeongsarap!”. Yangnyeom McSpicy, Yangnyeom Double Cheeseburger, Galbi McShaker Fries, and K-Melon Float are available for dine-in, take-out and drive-thru, and via delivery with the McDonald’s Delivery App as well as third-party delivery platforms.
