After a long dry spell, the wet season is finally here. In fact, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has forecasted La Niña to hit the country on the second half of 2016.
But you don’t have to let all that rain dampen your spirit for shopping. These promotions and freebies in Manila might just cheer you up despite the gloomy weather this June.
Trade Fairs
Honoring mothers need not be limited to Mother’s Day every May. At the 2nd Momzilla Fair this June 4and 5, hardworking moms might just find what they need. The fair will be open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM at Whitespace Makati and will feature baby products, home décor, and party styling services, among others.

Furniture
Election season may be over, but aside from casting your vote, you can still show your love for country. One way to do this is patronizing our own products.

Diners can have an unlimited order of dim sum, rice, soup and appetizer, plus a choice of one house specialty per person. Their house specialties include seafood, vegetables, pork, noodles, and beef and chicken dishes. They also have roast chicken, pork, or duck, so there’s literally something for everyone.
The promo comes with one glass of iced tea and is available from Monday to Saturday. To make this feast a family affair, bring the kids too, as children with a height of 110 to120 cm can eat at half price. Promo runs from now until July 30.
Beauty and Wellness
The rainy season can cause certain problems on skin, particularly, oily skin becomes oilier and dry skin gets even drier. A good facial could help you deal with these problems. SkinStation’s new branch at BGC Stopover, Taguig City has grand opening promos which include a 30% discount on all facial treatments. Let the skin consultant help you pick the best treatment for you.
