If you’re searching for Friendsgiving ideas in the Philippines, this guide brings you fun activities, food spots, and cute gift finds all in one place.
Start with a Fun & Active Friendsgiving: Try Pickleball!
Looking for a barkada activity that’s fun, beginner-friendly, and social? Pickleball is quickly becoming a favorite in the Philippines because it's easy to learn and perfect for mixed-skill groups.
- SM City Marikina Pickleball Courts – A lively spot where you and your friends can smash, rally, and laugh your way through a friendly game.
- SM Center Antipolo Downtown – Another place where you can paddle-tap after a fun match and cool down with your barkada.
This is a great idea if you want something more active than the usual cafe date—but still budget-friendly and beginner-safe.
Where to Eat in Marikina & Masinag for Your Friendsgiving Feast
After an intense (or nakakatuwang chaotic) game of pickleball, syempre food trip na! If you're looking for barkada-friendly restaurants in Marikina, here are delicious and shareable options inside SM:
Perfect for barkadas with different “wing moods.” The Champion Buffalo Wings Triple Sampler lets you enjoy three flavors in one plate.

If your friends love big, bold flavors, the Carne Y Mariscos Fiesta is a sharing platter made for meat lovers. Find it at SM City Marikina, perfect for long, unli-kwento gatherings.
