SpeakCUP at 7-Eleven

The dry season is officially here as declared by PAGASA last week. I'm sure you are also experiencing the scorching heat especially in the afternoon. Most of us long to go to the beach now that we are on alert level 1. As for me, an ice cold drink would do to quench my thirst. I'm glad there's 7-Eleven almost everywhere, it's our go to place after an afternoon leisure walk with my husband.

SpeakCUP at 7-Eleven

If you frequent 7-Eleven, I'm sure you've seen the new SpeakCUP at 7-Eleven. Started on March 9 and until April 27, 7-Eleven will hold 7-Election 2022, its unofficial and unscientific yet fun and creative mock poll. Now on its third run, 7-Election gives everyone, regardless of voting age, the freedom and opportunity to cast as many votes as they want by choosing the cup of their presidential bet. There is so much going on in the country, especially with the upcoming presidential elections just months away. The toxic conversations, spread of false information, and the rise of ‘cancel culture’ can be so overwhelming. So if you need a break from it all, 7-Eleven is here to bring convenience - and provide a safe space to #SpeakCUP and be heard!

Leni Robredo for President

City Cafe is also joining the campaign together with GULP. That's great since I always order coffee at 7-Eleven, my favorite is the French Vanilla. Now with more beverage options, the public can have fun, keep cool, and stay woke while participating in political conversations!

 

My President, Leni Robredo

7-Election offers a fun way to vote because at 7-Eleven, walang basagan ng drink! There are six available cups, each representing a presidentiable namely: Ping Lacson, Bongbong Marcos, Isko Moreno, Manny Pacquiao, and Leni Robredo, and one undecided cup for those who have yet to make a decision. Despite being an unofficial and unscientific way to vote, the 7-Election campaign has correctly predicted the winners of the presidential elections since it began in 2010.

These specially-designed 22oz GULP and 12oz City Cafe cups, each with a unique barcode, will be available in over 3,000 7-Eleven stores nationwide from March 9 to April 27. Customers can participate in this fun mock poll by availing a GULP or City Cafe drink from over 3,000 7-Eleven stores nationwide, starting at P35 for Gulp and P39 for City Café. One scanned cup equates to one vote. Votes are tallied daily and are reflected on the 7-Eleven microsite, www.7-election.com.ph. Customers can visit and view their specific 7-Eleven store’s leaderboard tally, which is updated every Friday.
