A delightful blessing in time of pandemic

“A BLESSING that came when we needed it most.”

This is how the Conti’s accredited shoppers described the “Pasabuyer” program of one of the most soughtafter bakeshop and restaurant in the Philippines.

The past two years under the pandemic has been very tough for everyone and many were forced to look for alternative sources of income. When many lost their jobs, they found relief in the Accredited Conti’s Delight Shopper program (ACDS).

Founded at the height of the pandemic, Conti’s saw how people have turned “pasabuying” as their bread and butter. The eagerness to help these shoppers sustain their living is there but maintaining the quality of service in handling cakes and pastries must still be observed. So the management decided to embrace the “pasabuyers” and train them. They established an accreditation process that eventually dubbed them as Accredited Conti’s Delight Shoppers (ACDS).

The ACDS have grown through the hard times of the pandemic and have become a welcome blessing.

“It’s true that when you lose something, the Lord will give you back too much. Those are the blessings He gave through Conti’s, bongga!),” ACDS Mildred said in Filipino on how the program has changed her life.

She and her husband had to close their two businesses, a resto-bar and a milk tea shop, because of the pandemic. Little did she know all the money they lost would be recovered through the ACDS program.

“We recognize how hard life has been to many of us and we at Conti’s would like to be able to alleviate this hardship in our little way,” said Patricia Tan, general manager of Conti’s Bakeshop and Restaurant.
