Find souvenirs for friends, family, and loved ones in top retail stores worldwide with perks and deals to boot
In the Philippines, traveling is often associated with the pasalubong, which is a Filipino custom that sees travelers returning to the country to bring gifts from their destination to the important people in their lives. It has evolved as an important aspect of local culture, and is a tradition that has been passed down from generations of Filipinos as a way to foster bonds between families, friends, and in rarer instances, as a way to forge stronger relationships with people that are first meeting. This culture promotes the joy of giving, and regardless of the destination, Filipino travelers can use the Metrobank World Mastercard to purchase presents for people back home.
