Summer is already here and it's one of the best seasons to bond with friends and family! To make summer more exciting and refreshing, Starbucks is introducing a new Frappuccino® flavor and will bring back a well-loved flavor from last year.

A returning favorite, the Roasted Marshmallow S'mores Frappuccino® Blended Beverage is flavored with vanilla, layered with smooth marshmallow whipped cream, indulgent chocolate sauce, and graham crumble. This delicious concoction is then finished with whipped cream and more graham crumble on top.


Get ready for an unexpected throwback as Starbucks brings together two of our childhood favorites—popcorn and pretzels—in one delectable drink. Pop'zel Coffee Frappuccino® Blended Beverage is blended with delicious popcorn and pretzel syrup and topped with real caramel popcorn and salted pretzel over whipped cream.


Both flavors will be available for a limited time only starting April 18.

“This summer, the iconic Frappuccino® blended beverages are inspired by our customers’ personalities: fun, creative and bold,” said Keith Cole, marketing head for Starbucks Philippines. “We have created beverages that match customers’ summer moods, handcrafted with flavors that blend sweet with savory or delight with the most exciting toppings”.

Starbucks VIA® Iced Coffee is a new kind of refreshment that is perfect during summer at home. With its flavor profile defined by hints of citrus and a caramelly-smooth finish.


For an exotic coffee flavor, here's the Starbucks Reserve® Nicaragua La Roca.


For their newest food offerings, they have Banana Chocolate Danish and Roast Beef Deli on Ciabatta Bread. Dig into this sandwich with slow-roasted beef, button mushrooms, tangy and sweet pickles, horseradish spread. It's a perfect sandwich if you need a fulfilling meal.


If you want a sweet option, try the Banana Chocolate Danish. It's a baked pastry filled with chocolate and banana.




Meanwhile, chocoholics out there will surely be pleased with the new 65% Dark Chocolate. This single-origin chocolate bar was sourced from the award-winning Malagos Chocolate from Davao. Every bar has 65% cocoa solids and has a distinct fruity flavor profile.


For My Starbucks Rewards® members, Starbucks Frappuccino® die-cut cards will be available in new colorways and can be bought for an initial activation fee of ₱1,000. Meanwhile, the new 'Stay Cool' card will be available for ₱300. Both will be in Starbucks stores starting April 18.



With summer already here, there are more and more reasons to keep refreshed and ready for whatever fun and adventure the season holds. And as temperatures continue to rise, Starbucks will be with you throughout summer to help you cool down and unwind.

Thank you, Starbucks Philippines for inviting us once again to your launch!

We won Starbucks cards! Woohoo! Me, Jeffrey Mondia, and Robert Villamor

McDonald's invited us to their National Breakfast Day last March 13. They gave free breakfast sandwiches to customers from 6 to 7 in the morning. Almost 450 stores participated to this event by giving their customers a free Sausage McMuffin, Egg McMuffin, or the new Burgerdesal via dine-in or drive-thru.






JC Santos, an actor who played alongside James Reid and Nadine Lustre in the recently concluded teleserye, joined the staff of McDonald's Bajada in giving away free breakfast to the customers. In Luzon, Marian and Dingdong Dantes graced the event while Tommy Esguerra was in Cebu.


Every year, McDonald’s extends the experience of National Breakfast Day to groups of early risers – those who are unable to enjoy a good breakfast because they are up earlier than everyone else to work or serve. This year, McDonald’s makes it extra special and pays tribute to those who have helped others welcome new beginnings.


To celebrate the beauty of mornings and how they bring forth new beginnings, McDonald’s released an online video, telling the story of Mrs. Luzviminda Santiago, a public school teacher who dedicated her life to imparting lessons and providing support to students. The video highlights the importance mentors have in enabling and inspiring the community, and hopes to encourage viewers to pay tribute to those who have helped usher in a new beginning for them. Watch the video below. :)

Timeless court style for today's streets. The Converse Cons Pro Leather was launched in 1976, and it ruled and ran the court on the feet of future Hall of Famers.




The Converse Cons Pro Leather LP Leather is a low-top take on a legendary basketball silhouette, whether you wear it to make a statement or just to have a classic look. This version features a leather upper and a lightweight, low-profile rubber cup sole that offers a more subtle look. There's also the Lunarlon insole, which adds necessary cushioning and comfort.




Pay tribute to the attitude of that era with Converse Cons Pro Leather, with or without the short shorts.

The Converse Cons Pro Leather is available for only Php 4,390.
