MANILA, Philippines â If you crave for the nostalgia of signature Filipino dishes that blend with a warm, inviting atmosphere, then Razonâs By Glenn is the perfect dining destination for you. Here, each meal is a delightful experience that you share with friends and loved ones, served in a setting that feels like home.
In celebration of its 21st anniversary this month, Razonâs By Glenn gives back to diners and customers all across the country with its new Halo-Halong Delight campaign, highlighting the restaurantâs most iconic dessert and the traditions that have shaped its journey for over two decades.
The campaign was formally launched during a media food tasting event held at the Razonâs By Glenn branch in Ayala Malls the 30th in Pasig City, where Razonâs By Glenn CEO and President, Glenn Razon-Carreon, personally welcomed guests and shared the restaurantâs story of resilience and their unwavering commitment to provide delight both in their service and in every dish they serve to their customers.
Guests were treated to a mouthwatering spread that showcased Razonâs By Glennâs variety of Filipino cuisine. The air was filled with the savory aroma of their signature Palabok Special and Palabok Overload, while the rich, nutty sauce of their Kare-Kare and the tender, flavorful Beef Tapa invited second helpings. The freshly made Lumpia offered a burst of crunch and flavor, perfectly complementing the sweeter side of the menu, which included fan favorites like Ube Macapuno and Bibingmamon.
But the star of the event was the most desired Halo-Halo. After a video demonstration of Razonâs by Glennâs unique method of mixing the beloved dessert, Glenn himself gave a personal tutorial on how guests can best mix and enjoy their special halo-halo.
The restaurantâs Halo-Halong Delight campaign highlights not only the dessertâs perfectly layered mixture of finely shaved ice, creamy leche flan, ube halaya, gulaman, and other ingredients, but also a more delightful way of serving the delicacy to dining customers. For over two decades, Razonâs by Glenn has perfected the art of this dessert, and with this new campaign, it will definitely introduce a dining experience like no other.
Razonâs By Glenn was established in 2003 as The Original Razonâs Halo-Halo & Palabok in Tarlac City, Tarlac. In 2015, the store opened its doors to franchising under the name Razonâs by Glenn (RBG), propelling the brand to a wider market by creating a unique menu and offering a delightful experience for all. Inspired by the commitment to spread its âTradition of Delight,â the restaurant has grown to a total of 34 branches in 2024 and continues to expand in key areas in the country.

With their #CaringBeyondBeauty mission, they ensured that clients had the best experience even before arriving at their clinics or using their products. This was why Bioessence revamped its website to enhance service accessibility.
The new website was integrated with ESSIE, Bioessence’s new app, providing real-time syncing of services, booking schedules, and other essential information, accessible anytime and anywhere.

This pioneering effort aims to provide safe and accessible modern family planning methods for Filipinos in far-flung areas to bridge the gap between Filipinos wanting to space and limit pregnancy and the disparities in Family Planning service provision.The SODEX Mobile Clinic is an innovation to improve DKT Philippines Foundation’s SODEX Program and its contribution to achieving the DOH 8-Point Action Agenda and National Objectives for Health.
DKT Philippines Foundation, Inc. officially launches the countryâs first-ever Family Planning Ambulatory Clinic.
The SODEX Mobile Clinic offers free Family Planning services.
âDKT Philippines Foundationâs mission is to provide couples with affordable, and safe options for family planning, and HIV/AIDS prevention through dynamic social marketing,â said Loida Almendares, the Foundationâs Director of Programs. âThe SODEX mobile clinic will provide a wide array of free family planning services especially in areas with lesser access to services like the geographically isolated or socially disadvantaged areas. The mobile clinic will bring the services closer to the people and meet them where they are,â she added.
The mobile clinic will provide free Family Planning commodities such as pills, condoms, injectables and intrauterine devices (IUD). It will also offer free bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) using local anesthesia and non-scalpel vasectomy (NSV). Onboarding the clinic are Physician/Surgeon trained on the provision of BTL, NSV, IUD, and subdermal implant services; FP-trained nurse; FP- trained midwife; a circulating staff, and a driver.

In partnership with 30 LGUs from Luzon, DKT Philippines Foundation aims to foster sustainable and long-term partnerships with these LGUs to cultivate Filipinosâ desire to meaningfully participate and contribute to government efforts to achieve universal health coverage for all.
âDKT Philippines Foundation and its Family Planning Mobile Clinic reinforce DKTâs commitment to ensuring nobody is left behind and provides free and quality reproductive health options including permanent methods, to those most remote and vulnerable communities. Made possible by the sales of family planning products under the TRUST Reproductive Health Choices brand, the mobile clinic ensures that people who still cannot afford the highly affordable TRUST products, or cannot access the reproductive health services they need in the public sector, are not left behind and still have free access to these services. It is a part of a total market approach, complementing the important work the local LGUs do on a daily basis.â said Denise van Dijk, Chair of the Board of DKT Philippines Foundation.
The mobile clinic will travel for 119 days to offer free services in the provinces of Central Luzon, North Luzon, Cordillera, MIMAROPA and CALABARZON with the first stop being at Binangonan, Rizal where the launch took place. The clinic will stay in one area for a day or two from 8 AM to 6 PM. By next year, the mobile clinic will cover communities in the Visayas and Mindanao areas.
