In the U.S., the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates spending on dads around the country to hit a record $22.9 billion, with the largest share expected to go to special outings such as dinner or brunch.

While similar market data hardly exists in the Philippines, EastWest said it expects credit card spending to rise on this occasion. “With the Filipino’s penchant for family gatherings, card spending is expected to increase, with fathers expected either on the receiving end of gifts or the one treating the family to restaurants or other bonding activities such as shopping,” said Aylwin Herminia P. Tamayo, Senior Vice President and Credit Cards Business Head of EastWest.
