Illo’s Party Trays serves joy and delectable eats fit for at-home celebrations
In our pre-pandemic time, food already had a significant role in our lives. It kept us strong, gave us energy, and fueled us to push through any obstacles we face every day. But during the onset of the pandemic, food gained a new purpose in our lives. It became key to many Filipinos’ survival as the unemployment rate rose last year. During moments we felt there was no reason to have fun, it became our humble source of joy, whether they came in the form of ayuda or homecooked meals sent by a loved one. Food helped us to be healthy, both physically and mentally. More importantly, it made us realize that there are still things in life that are worth celebrating, even in the middle of a pandemic.
