George T. Yang and Jose Mari Chan reunite to invite Filipinos to Share the Light to victims of Typhoon Odette through McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen

McDonald's Philippines Chairman and Founder George T. Yang once again joins forces with one of the country’s OPM icons, Jose Mari Chan in an online video to share the light and happiness of the holiday season. In the short clip, the two friends who first shared the screen in a McDonald’s video for Grandparents’ Day in 2019 give a new meaning to virtual caroling with fun animated versions of themselves caroling one silent night in a classic Pinoy Christmas setting.

The online video is part of McDonald's Philippines 'Share the Light' campaign which aims to spread happiness and kindness this season. To watch the video, check out McDonald's Facebook at facebook.com/McDo.ph. 

In the spirit of sharing the light this holiday season to those affected by the recent onslaught of Typhoon Odette, Yang and Chan collaborated for the benefit of the McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen, a program of the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) that was set up to serve meals for frontliners and marginalized communities. With the support of its partners the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), Naval Reserve, Coca-Cola, Air Asia, and the Philippine Airlines, McDonald's activates its Kindness Kitchen to serve 20,000 meals in communities affected by the typhoon.

McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen: 20,000 meals for Typhoon Odette victims

In light of recent Typhoon Odette (Rai), McDonald’s Philippines, through its charity of choice, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), has committed to serve 20,000 meals for communities affected by the super typhoon through their McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen program.

In partnership with Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), the Naval Reserve Command Multi-Sectoral Linkaging Committee, Air Asia, Philippine Airlines, and Coca-Cola, McDonald’s Kindness Kitchen will be able to reach and serve affected communities. McDonald's franchisees in said areas are also mobilizing to provide meals. 

Mang Inasal’s family-sized meals perfect for holiday feasts

Filipinos take the holidays seriously. It’s a time when families and friends get together, spend time catching up, and simply enjoy each other’s company. 

While this year may not be like Christmases past, it is still an occasion worth celebrating because being together with the people who matter most to us is enough reason for the season. 

Since no Filipino celebration is complete without great food, Mang Inasal is offering its beloved juicy, ihaw-sarap favorites (and more) this Christmas in family-sized pans good for 4-6 people. These bulk orders allow people to spend more time with the people they love and bond over a meal without all the fuss that comes with preparing a feast. 

Get the classic favorite Chicken Inasal Large Paa (or Pecho) at home while getting the same freshly-grilled experience in-store with its new juicy-lock grilling process that maintains the natural juiciness of the chicken while the marinade seeps throughout the meat so every bite is as flavorful as the next.

Jollibee Studios proves that true love is one that transcends romance in new John Lloyd-Bea film

Many people are looking for the one and a love that lasts and while many have been fortunate to find it and keep it, many are still searching for that person, or what the one means to them. In Jollibee Studios’ newest 30-minute film, it discusses what makes a love that lasts in a poignant and heart-tugging story that brings together the country’s most iconic love team, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.

The pair’s much awaited on-screen reunion definitely brought a lot of excitement among long-time fans. The anticipation and joy from the public was truly felt back in October when leaked photos from their shoot came out. When it was revealed that it was for a Jollibee project, this excited people further, as Jollibee has been known to produce memorable short films that never fails to bring joy and touch one’s heart.

“At Jollibee, we have told so many stories about love and its different kinds. Now, we are looking at a love that goes beyond romance--a love that’s unflinching and a love that lasts,” said Francis E. Flores, Jollibee Foods Corporation Philippines Country/Regional Marketing Head and Jollibee Philippines Marketing Head. “With One True Pair The Movie, we wanted to deliver that powerful message of how some pairs are perfect because their love is one that goes beyond romance. And what better way to do that than having John Lloyd and Bea star in the film. In fact, we wanted this film to be very meaningful, not just to the fans but to John Lloyd and Bea as well. So, during the development process, we made sure that they could share their personal insights and creative input about the story.”

APC Group welcomes Zia Dantes as newest member of the Ajinomoto family

AJI-GINISA® marks 30 years of gisa goodness in the Philippines

It’s been 30 years since AJI-GINISA® was first introduced in the Philippines. As the first flavor seasoning in the country that provides complete gisa deliciousness, AJI-GINISA® changed the way Filipinos cook sumptuous homemade meals for their families.

Three decades ago, AJI-GINISA® brought the gisa taste of garlic, onion, meat, and seasonings in an easy-to-use package. Today, as the well-loved flavor seasoning turns 30, the Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) Group proudly launches a new and improved version—now made ‘more meaty, more gisa” in an 8g pack retailing only P3.00 (SRP).

The Jollibee Chick’nwich is going to be your new favorite chicken sandwich

There’s absolutely no question that there are a number of chicken sandwiches Filipinos can get here. It’s also no question that there hasn’t really been a clear winner when it comes to the best chicken sandwich in town, too.

All that is about to change as Jollibee enters the game and offers its own take on a meal everybody loves with the brand-new Jollibee Chick’nwich, dropping in selected stores this month.

The Jollibee Chick’nwich brings chicken sandwiches to a new level. It is twice the size of your average chicken sandwich, made with a 100% whole juicy chicken fillet, double hand-breaded to give you double the crunch, sandwiched in a buttery brioche bun, and packed with a special mayo dressing and dill pickles. With all of that goodness coming together, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if the Chick’nwich becomes your new favorite chicken sandwich.

Jollibee Studios to welcome a new era of original and truly Pinoy storytelling

The country’s leading Filipino fast food chain, Jollibee, has long been known for more than its langhap-sarap favorites. There is no question about the food’s taste and quality, which every Filipino is delightfully familiar with.  

Jollibee has also proven to be among the pioneers of quality branded entertainment, with its stories about the real and truly Filipino experiences that have resonated with generations. Who has not seen -- or been moved -- by famous Kwentong Jollibee short films Vow, Crush, and Date; Choice, Space as well as First Date from this year’s Valentine series which won in the Asian Creativity awards? Or the equally addictive One True Pair Series – Checklist, Fight or Flight and Cam the Chameleon?

Beyond its much-anticipated love-themed short films, Jollibee has also produced a variety of entertaining short films and series from a wide range of genres through the years– 14/29 Petsa de Peligro Serye, JolliDance Showdown, and this year’s A Message from the Future short film. All these can be found in the brand’s own Jollibee Studios channel in YouTube. 

Mang Inasal locks in juicy ihaw-sarap for takeout or delivery

We’ve all felt it - that familiar craving for our favorite juicy ihaw-sarap meals. Nowadays, though, when our taste buds seek out the familiar savory and smoky flavors, we stop ourselves short. What’s the point of ordering ihaw-sarap meals if we’re not getting them fresh off the grill?

The pandemic ushered in a host of food-ordering and delivery applications. Even as the IATF and LGUs relax some dine-in restrictions, takeout and delivery continue to be major channels 

To continually adapt to the expectations of customers on ‘new normal’ dining, Mang Inasal has improved its food preparation and cooking process to achieve consistent off-the-grill goodness for its ihaw-sarap meals. One innovation is the juicy-lock grilling process which seeks to ensure the freshness and juiciness of its best-selling Chicken Inasal.

Going Green and Good: McDonald’s opens newest sustainable store

Hidilyn Diaz and Jollibee support Filipino athletes to reach their dreams

Hidilyn Diaz aims to nurture the next generation
 of Filipino champions through Jollibee’s Champ
 & Joy Super Meal where a portion of the proceeds
from every purchase will be given to the
Philippine Olympic Committee Athletes’ Commission.

Many know Hidilyn Diaz as the first Filipino Olympic gold medal winner, but few know how hard the road was for this champion weightlifter before she reached her dream.

Having started weightlifting at age eleven, Hidilyn took years of practice, hard work, and grit to overcome the challenges that came her way. She even had to create makeshift weights using concrete and mag wheels when she was just starting out. After four Olympic stints in a span of 12 years, including a DNF (Did Not Finish) in the London edition of the Games, she finally had her golden moment at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But even then, the road wasn’t easy—due to the pandemic, she had to train in Malaysia away from her family and she once again had to use makeshift weights in an outdoor gym.

Just like Hidilyn, many Filipino athletes also dream of their moment atop the podium. It is indeed a daunting task, with only a few given a chance to even qualify in the Olympic games. This is why Hidilyn, with the help of Jollibee, aims to pay it forward and help shape the next generation of Filipino champions.

The Commissariat Manila Is All Set for Christmas Treats

The Commissariat Manila is a purveyor of the finest goods and delicacies under the entrepreneurial skills of siblings Gino Asensio Lopez and Monique Lopez Ong who hail from the Visayas (Iloilo and Bacolod). They believe that "good food must never be kept secret and should be experienced by everyone." 

The Commissariat Manila opened its doors in July 2020 during the early days of the pandemic. As the country went into lock down period, there was a rising need for good food to be delivered to people’s homes.  

The Commissariat Manila was established to fulfill everyone’s need for first-class goods from Visayas, particularly Bacolod City, the place that Gino and Monique both know has unrivaled pastries, cakes, chorizos, and seafood.
