Precious Brew Café Opens New Branch with New Menu Favorites

Precious Brew Café marked a new chapter in its journey with the grand opening of its latest branch on July 27, 2025. The festivities began with a thanksgiving mass and blessing, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Hon. Ramonita Manatad, Barangay Captain of Subangdaku.

Guests were then serenaded by a live pianist from the music school above the café, Saint Thomas School of Music, setting a relaxing and refined tone to the day. The event was a true celebration of gratitude, good food, and growing community ties.

“We kept the program simple, but full of heart,” said Ferro Genevieve Lao, owner of Precious Brew Café. “Some of the most memorable moments were the spontaneous games and sing-alongs, it felt like one big family gathering.”

Precious Brew Cafe's new menu items and generous promos delighted its guests. The expanded menu now includes Beef Quesadilla, Nachos, Chicken Tenders, Truffle Cream Pasta, Baked Salmon, Cordon Bleu, Roast Beef, and a Revamped Pork Sisig. The new menu items were crafted based on customer feedback and are perfect for party trays or intimate gatherings.

“We’ve listened to what our customers loved and built on that. Some of our new dishes were chosen to strengthen our group and party menu offerings,” Lao shared.

Guests enjoyed a 30% discount on all food and drinks, and were treated to free pastries and drinks via a coffee cart stationed outside the building. Grand opening invitation cardholders received free beverages, while exclusive merchandise like umbrellas, fans, and pens were given away throughout the day.

The turnout was overwhelming, with walk-in guests filling the café later in the day, drawn in by the promos and cozy atmosphere. “We’re so grateful for the positive feedback,” Lao added. “People told us the food was delicious, the vibe was cozy, and the private area made them consider hosting small celebrations here.”

Looking ahead, the café has its sights set on exciting things. New drink offerings are in the pipeline, and the team is preparing for BER-month specials including seasonal pastries, party trays, and rental packages with event styling and buffet services. Additionally, the new branch boasts a larger parking area and will soon be available on food delivery platforms, making access even more convenient.

Precious Brew Café is now open daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, offering a warm space for every foodie and coffee lovers.

As the country’s No. 1 motorcycle manufacturer, Honda once again brought together thousands of riders from across the Visayas for a weekend that blended thrilling rides, cutting-edge technology, and the joy of being part of a passionate and growing community.

More than just an annual gathering, the Riders’ Convention has become a defining tradition for Honda motorcycle enthusiasts, club members, and long-time riders alike. With the energy high and excitement palpable, the Visayas leg proved why this event continues to capture the hearts of Honda fans nationwide.

The event opened with test rides that gave participants the rare chance to experience Honda’s latest Electric Vehicles and Big Bikes. From city cruisers to high-performance models, attendees took to the track, including those who challenged themselves in the Gymkhana Challenge aboard the dynamic Winner X. Whether seasoned riders or first-timers, everyone felt the unmistakable joy that comes with being in control of a Honda.

Cebu in a Bite Celebrates Island's Culinary Heritage Through Local Food Entrepreneurs

Cebu Business Month 2025 amplifies homegrown brands to reach wider audiences

Cebu in a Bite successfully elevated Cebu's emerging food businesses, providing crucial exposure and networking opportunities for local entrepreneurs. The signature event, part of Cebu Business Month (CBM) 2025 organized by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), demonstrated the island's commitment to nurturing its vibrant food ecosystem.

Strategically held alongside BAICON 2025, the Philippines' premier content creator conference, the event attracted food enthusiasts, digital influencers, and industry professionals, creating unprecedented opportunities for local vendors to amplify their brand reach.

CBM Cebu in a Bite Champion Carlo Olano highlighted the event's diverse representation of Cebu's food culture, featuring 25 to 30 local establishments. The lineup spanned traditional Cebuano favorites like ngoyong, tuslob-buwa, and inasal, alongside innovative offerings such as Bosang and Croffles.

"We wanted to present the full spectrum of Cebu's culinary identity under one roof," Olano explained. "The result was an exceptional blend of heritage flavors, culinary innovation, and accessible pricing that truly represents our food scene."

The strategic partnership with BAICON proved particularly valuable, enabling participating businesses to leverage influencer marketing and tap into broader digital audiences. "This collaboration created the perfect storm for local brand amplification," Olano noted. "Content creators became organic ambassadors for these homegrown establishments."

The CBM 2025 PADAYON CEBU's Cebu in a Bite showcased an impressive roster of local businesses, including Jerbie's Kandingan, Wella's Barbecue Sa Larsian, Croffles, Chef Pablo, LK Bakery, Flix and Chill, Balamban Liempo, Casa Verde, Cluck Sarap, Unlisted Burger, Don Lemon, Lechon Co, and Baka Na Pud.

Crowd favorites emerged across categories, with LK Bakery's croissant ice cream and Croffles' innovative waffle creations drawing significant attention. Traditional offerings remained strong performers, with pork barbecue, pochero, roasted beef, balbacua, and various grilled meats and seafood attracting substantial patronage.

Chef Pablo embodies the entrepreneurial spirit that Cebu in a Bite aims to celebrate. Founded by culinary graduate Dayne Mejorado Fernandez at age 19, the fried chicken business evolved from a modest rolling cart operation into a thriving enterprise with 32 branches across Cebu, plus expansion into Bohol and Southern Leyte.

"Our menu focuses on quality homemade offerings like fried chicken, whole chicken, chicken skin, and proven," Fernandez explained. "While we're actively pursuing franchise opportunities and system innovations, we remain grounded in our humble origins."

Fernandez candidly shared the challenges behind the success: "The journey included multiple setbacks and failures, but persistence and commitment to quality kept us moving forward."

Unlisted Burger's story exemplifies successful career pivoting in pursuit of entrepreneurial passion. Owner Jhon Pescador, originally pursuing aircraft maintenance, discovered his calling in food service during college, driven by a vision to deliver affordable, premium-quality burgers.
"Our path included numerous failures and learning experiences," Pescador reflected. "The key was refusing to surrender to setbacks." Today, Unlisted Burger operates seven locations, including prominent spots in JCentre Mall, North Park Building, and General Maxilom Avenue. Their competitive advantage lies in their artisanal approach, crafting both hamburger buns and patties in-house.

Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival graced the ribbon-cutting ceremony and expressed strong support for establishing Cebu in a Bite as an annual tradition, with aspirations for expanded scale in future iterations.

The inaugural event positively accomplished its dual mission of celebrating Cebu's rich food heritage while providing a launchpad for local food entrepreneurs. By creating connections between traditional flavors and modern business opportunities, Cebu in a Bite reinforced Cebu's position as a dynamic culinary destination where heritage and innovation converge.

The organizers emphasized that the Cebu Marathon is more than just a race; it is a source of pride for Cebuanos.

As founder Meyrick Jacalan shared, "Our designs—since the beginning, we’ve always associated the Cebu Marathon with the Sinulog Festival, that's why our design direction has always embraced a festive theme full of colors — inspired by Sinulog."

The Cebu Marathon 2026 is raising the bar with its official AIMS certification, allowing runners to gain global recognition and qualify for international races.

With over 13,000 participants expected from across the globe, the event continues to strengthen Cebu’s place on the world stage of long-distance running.

"We also carry this festive mood throughout the entire event — from the expo to the race route and the water stations with different entertainment, music, so that every runner feels the festive mood from start to finish. And for those runners who are serious in competing, our race route is certified by AIMS, our timing system is very efficient, and our traffic control is very good," Jacalan emphasized.

“We’re not just organizing a run, we’re showcasing Cebu’s spirit and world-class hospitality,” John Pages, one of Cebu Marathon’s founders, said. “Our partnerships with top brands, government agencies, and safety teams ensure that runners will enjoy a smooth, secure, and memorable experience,” he added.

Cebu Marathon 2026 has partnered with some of Cebu’s best homegrown brands such as Island Souvenirs, SALT+FIN, and Suarez Arts. The organizers describe the brands as proudly Cebuano and leaders in their respective industries.

More than a Marathon

Beyond fitness and tourism, the Cebu Marathon continues to give back. Jesse Taborada, president of CERC, confirmed that the event supports health-related causes. A new list of beneficiaries for 2026 is currently under review and will be announced in the coming months.

As environmental concerns grow, Cebu Marathon is preparing to align with the city’s sustainability goals. Organizers revealed ongoing talks about waste management systems, reusable hydration packs, and carbon offset initiatives, in collaboration with Mayor Nestor Archival.

In 2025, the Cebu Marathon welcomed participants from 43 countries, solidifying its place as a key player in the country’s sports tourism. The Cebu Marathon 2026 edition promises to be the biggest and most vibrant race yet.

Cebu in a Bite: A Tasting Tour of Cebu’s Culinary Identity

Cebu’s culinary heritage takes center stage this July through CEBU IN A BITE, a food festival that offers more than just a feast for the senses. The event brings together timeless flavors and emerging food trends in one historic venue.

Happening at Plaza Independencia, Cebu City on July 18 (3 PM to 10 PM) and July 19 (9 AM to 11 PM), the festival carries the theme “Savor the Heritage of Cebu in Every Bite.” It is one of the events of Cebu Business Month (CBM) 2025 that highlights the vibrant street food scene of Cebu. It also offers an opportunity to savor a diverse range of local flavors — from traditional favorites to innovative fusion dishes that reflect the creativity of a new generation.

Carlo Olano, one of the Champions for this year's CBM 2025 Cebu In A Bite and the passionate advocate behind Kalami Cebu, expressed his excitement, recalling a powerful question that continues to resonate: “What if we could gather the best flavors of Cebu in one iconic place?”

That shared vision helped ignite what would become Cebu in A Bite, which began its flavorful journey in 2024 at Vibo Place, gathering around 40 food merchants united by one goal: to showcase the rich, diverse and delicious culinary heritage of Cebu. What started as a simple idea quickly evolved into a dynamic community of local food makers, from homegrown delicacies to street foods.

Olano added "We wanted to highlight not just the ‘famous’ dishes,” Olano explained, “but also the gems you find in kanto carinderias, the underrated dishes our lolos and lolas love, and even the 39-peso lemonade stands and DIY tuslob buwa kits that young Cebuanos enjoy today.”

Cebu in a Bite embraces both the nostalgic and the new. Among the must-try dishes are kaldereta, balbacua, Larsian-style BBQ, lechon, ngohiong, and an array of baked goods, pastries, and locally reimagined classics.

“Cebu’s food scene is a vibrant mix of history, migration, creativity, and resilience,” said Olano. “What makes Cebu unique is that we can be both street-smart and world-class, and our flavors tell that story.”

Held in a historic spot, the festival turns every bite into a taste of Cebu’s culture and memories. It’s more than just a food fair—it’s a delicious way to relive Cebuano life.

This year’s event is held alongside BAICON 2025, the country’s largest gathering of creators and communities, driven to elevate the country's digital entertainment industry. The timing is intentional.

“It’s a match made in marketing heaven,” Olano said. “Imagine Cebu’s best street food being enjoyed and shared online by top influencers in real time. That’s organic promotion most MSMEs can only dream of.”

Beyond visibility, the partnership provides opportunities. Through Cebu in a Bite, small businesses and food vendors gain a platform not just to sell, but to connect — with influencers, investors, and potential partners.

“CBM’s support for MSMEs goes beyond booths,” Olano emphasized. “It’s about giving them the stage they deserve — to be seen, to be tasted, and to be remembered.”

Every dish at Cebu in a Bite has a tale to tell—about the people, the place, and the culture. It’s a culinary journey that celebrates Cebu’s identity—one dish, one story, one bite at a time.

The CBM 2025 PADAYON CEBU’s Cebu In A Bite merchants include Jerbie's Kandingan, Wella's Barbecue Sa Larsian, Croffles, Chef Pablo, Lk Bakery, 8Flix And Chill, Balamban Liempo, Casa Verde, Cluck Sarap, Unlisted Burger, Don Lemon, Lechon Co, And Baka Na Pud.

The VIBO PLACE Cebu In A Bite Merchants are Boy Palamig, Barbie's Lechon, Señora Sisig Bar, 4dables Food House, Ho Ngohiong Cebu, Potato Mama, Penggoy, Rae’s Sizzling Hub, Chosen Buns, Choo-Ee Won Coin Pancake, Hinam Cebu & Cooldapya, and Bao Bao’s Xiao Long Bao.

BAICON Merchants include Strange Matcha, Tony's Pizza, Arte Artsy, Onlypans, And Ukay Ta Bai.

The CBM 2025 PARTNERS joining Cebu In A Bite with their own exciting displays include VECO, PETNET, CEBU LANDMASTERS, INC., CEBU PACIFIC, DUROS, CDM, EASTWEST BANK, UNISOL, COCA-COLA, and GCASH. Each bringing their unique brand of innovation and support to the celebration of Cebuano Culture and Enterprise.

Introducing the CHI-BE BURGER! YOMBIG BURGER’S newest masterpiece!

At YOMBIG BURGER, the best ideas don’t always come from the kitchen sometimes; they come straight from the customers.

The owners noticed something funny: customers would stand at the counter, debating, “Chicken burger lang kaha? Or beef burger?” Some couldn’t decide, and others ended up ordering both.

That got the owners thinking: why not bring the best of both worlds into one epic burger?

After a few late night experiments and plenty of taste tests, the CHI-BE BURGER was born.

A juicy beef patty, grilled the YOMBIG way.
A crispy, golden fried chicken fillet stacked right on top.
Fresh veggies and their signature sauce, all hugged by a soft toasted bun.

When they finally put it on the menu, it was an instant hit. Customers loved it because it solved the “chicken or beef?” dilemma — now, you don’t have to choose!

More than just a new item, the CHI-BE BURGER is a tribute to YOMBIG BURGER’S promise: to listen, create, and always serve something big, bold, and made with love…Cebuano style.
