Starbucks Destinations Series: 2016 Manila Card | Philippines



A Starbucks city card!  For 2 years now, Starbucks has kept its customers on their toes with regular releases of beautifully-designed Philippine editions of Starbucks Cards. Last August 8, 2016 and in celebration of its 3rd anniversary, Starbucks Philippines offered these cards with designs evoking a sense of pride about the rich history of their respective cities.

Inspired by “Summer Night in Manila,” the Manila Starbucks Card design focuses on the iconic Philippine commuter jeepney travelling the busy city at night. The colorful and intricate designs on the body of what is dubbed as the king of the roads in Metro Manila represent the vibrant culture of the Filipinos. This, along with Cebu are the first region specific cards from the Philippines.

Another personal favorite. I just hope they won't stop with Manila and Cebu. Just like what they did with the Global Icon and the You Are Here Series, I hope they will also come up with more region specific cards. The above mentioned series got at least 15 designs plus there are limited edition merchandise every now and then especially during festivals like the Panagbenga. China does it on their cards. I hope we do too. You can never run out of ideas. :)

Cheers!

Blogger's Note: Starbucks Destinations Series is my attempt to chronicle my thoughts on different city and country specific Starbucks Cards. Most photos and some descriptions are taken mainly from both official and non official Starbucks pages. I do not claim ownership of the photos unless otherwise noted.
