Xavier School Nuvali is Philippine Theater’s New Breeding Ground

Broadway, the West End, and even the Manila theater scene are worlds away to theater kids in Laguna. Whatever theater exposure they have usually comes in the form of YouTube videos or Spotify albums on repeat. So what do you do when you’re bitten by the theater bug?

Xavier School Nuvali, the youngest Jesuit school in the Philippines, is the latest breeding ground for the future of Philippine theater. The Jesuits, known for their affinity for the arts - especially drama - are seriously investing in honing the talent of their students. 

As face-to-face schooling comes back, so do the curtains rise in Xavier Nuvali. Almost every day of the week, the school is abuzz with student-actors singing, dancing, and acting in the corridors. Apart from the daily grind of academics, which each student-actor prioritizes, the excitement of after-school theater programs is a favorite of many a Xaverian.

“Live like a panda” Is foodpanda's New Brand Philosophy

In this hectic world, we sometimes wanted to be just like a panda whose lifestyle is so chill and carefree. And for the food delivery brand foodpanda, who also has the cute and adorable panda named Pau-Pau as the mascot, is what they want to pursue as their philosophy. Dubbed as “live like a panda,” this encourages users to free up their time and energy through the app to pursue what matters to them.

In conceptualizing the philosophy, the foodpanda team spent hours studying pandas and found that pandas eat as they want to, sleep as they want, and live without unnecessary worries. Taking inspiration from this outlook, foodpanda believes that humans, too, can benefit from adopting a similar mindset and focusing their energies on things that truly satisfy them. 

Guilherme Porto, foodpanda Philippines Director for Growth, hopes to motivate their customers to look beyond the hustle and bustle of everyday life and divert their attention to whatever’s most precious to them at the moment. “Sometimes, we get caught up in our busy daily routines that it becomes easier to let our interests and passions fall by the wayside. With our brand philosophy, foodpanda is here to remind them to find time for the things they love and enjoy. We will be there to help them do that so they can achieve true happiness and satisfaction because what matters now, matters.”
