It’s been a year since our country has been placed under community quarantine. And though life is slowly transitioning to the new normal, many of us continue to quarantine ourselves, limiting our exposure to the outside world to ensure that we don’t contract this dreaded disease.
Because of this, many of us have turned to a new normal of doing things—going all digital. From banking to food orders, and yes, shopping, many of us are doing it over the internet. With this in mind, Araneta has launched several programs that will let you access your favorite stores and establishments with a few taps on your mobile device.
1. Araneta City Assist
Access your favorite establishments at the City of Firsts without taking a single step out of your house with Araneta City Assist.

Give the store of your choice a call, pick the items you need, choose between cash-on-delivery or bank transfer for your payment option, and the store will then prepare the items and send it right to your doorstep with their partner courier, Mr. Speedy.
