Ito po ay magiging daan upang mas marami pa sa ating mga kabataan ang magkaroon ng pagkakataong makatanggap ng dekalidad na edukasyon sa isang ligtas, maayos, at nurturing environment.” ~Mayor Marjorie Ann "Maan" Teodoro of Marikina City

The Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit Learning Center is another important step in McDonald's and RMHC Philippines' continuous efforts to expand access to high-quality early childhood education in underprivileged communities. With 57 Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit Learning Centers currently serving Filipino children nationwide, McDonald's and RMHC continue to create educational opportunities that support children's development, families' success, and communities' strength.

McDonald’s Brings Back the Cheese and Chili Con Carne Dunks, Plus the Ebi Burger

“The return of both the Cheese and Chili Con Carne Dunks is McDonald’s way of digging deeper into the Pinoy sawsawan culture, which inherently invites sharing and creativity. Filipino culture encourages participation and individual creation in the way we consume our food, and this is exactly how our customers enjoyed the Dunks last year when they created new flavors and combinations with other favorites from our menu.

McDonald’s Grand Reunion Brings People Back Together for the Holidays

“By creating spaces where groups can once again gather meaningfully, McDonald’s taps directly into the Filipino cultural values of pagsasama-sama, pagsasalo-salo, and gratitude. It offers a simple yet heartfelt reminder that those who help make Christmas special for others deserve their own celebration too. In a season that can often feel overwhelming with crowded schedules, growing expenses, and emotional demands, Grand Reunion at McDo offers a refreshing alternative, a warm, uncomplicated, and inclusive holiday gathering that doesn’t require grand preparations.” ~Ada Lazaro, Chief Marketing Officer at McDonald's Philippines

Many Filipinos look forward to Christmas more than any other holiday. It's time for long-awaited grand reunions, in which family and friends reunite after months or even years away. It is one of the most popular traditions in the country. However, not everyone has the opportunity to plan such gatherings. Some people spend the holidays apart from their families, missing out on the joys of being together.

This year, McDonald's Philippines plans to bridge that gap by providing free celebrations to specific communities. Known as "Grand Reunion at McDo," this statewide holiday initiative will transform select McDonald's Party Rooms into festive settings for meaningful reunions taking place simultaneously across the country, restoring the warmth of the season to those who need it the most.

How to be part of McDonalds’ Grand Reunion

Customers are invited to visit the McDonald's Philippines Facebook site and share their story on the Grand Reunion post, outlining their reasons for wanting to get back together, what kept them apart, and what makes their relationship unique.   On December 8 from 2-4 p.m., McDonald's will host groups of up to 10 individuals, with two groups per party room for a total of 20 guests.

In addition to a heartwarming and original story, participants will be selected based on how well their stories convey the spirit of community during the Christmas season.   Participants are free to select the McDonald's location of their choice.

Each party will receive boxes of Honey Butter Chicken McDo augmented with a "shake, tear, and sprinkle" moment using Garlic Parmesan and Snow Cheese Powder. It's a simple tradition that makes the meal enjoyable for everyone. Apart from facilitating light games and toasts, a McDonald's "Happiness Host" will help create a more memorable and social atmosphere.

Reinforcing Filipino values

Lazaro added the initiative aims to reinforce Filipino values of bonding and connection during the Christmas season by offering a venue for meaningful reunions.

Returning to the Place Where It All Started: McDonald's Marks 44 Years in the Philippines at Its First Morayta Location

“When I brought McDonald’s to the Philippines, I initially envisioned opening 10 branches. Forty-four years later, the Philippines now ranks as one of the top 10 McDonald’s markets in the world, and we have more than 800 stores across the country. This is why I consider it important to shine a spotlight on McDonald’s Morayta, where it all began. It is also our reminder to stay focused on our customers, so that each moment they spend in our stores will create lasting memories for years to come. McDonald’s Morayta also saw our very first batch of working students, many of whom were driven to gain substantial work experience while also pursuing their studies. Our commitment to supporting working students remains true today. I’m happy to say that 70 percent of our workforce are working students.” ~Dr. George T. Yang, McDonald’s Philippines Chairman and Founder

McDonald’s Morayta today

McDonald's Philippines is constructing a commemorative sign at its historic first store on Morayta Street in Manila to honor 44 amazing years in the nation.

On October 28, McDonald's Philippines President and CEO Kenneth S. Yang and Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso ceremoniously unveiled the memorial honoring McDonald's Philippines Chairman and Founder Dr. George T. Yang.

Yang, Ronald McDonald, and Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso at the unveiling of the commemorative marker at McDonald’s Morayta, the first McDonald’s store in the country. 

Located in the middle of the country's University Belt, McDonald's Morayta holds a special place in the hearts of students, family, friends, and coworkers.   The memorial honors this well-known business, where many joyful memories have been shared by generations of Filipinos.

As part of its continued commitment to giving back to the community it has served for more than 40 years, McDonald's was able to celebrate this milestone celebration with the local community by throwing an exciting and heartfelt McDo Party for over forty children from the Manila Child Development Center.

McDonald’s Morayta 1981 

The Morayta store opened in 1981, soon after Dr. Yang was granted the exclusive franchise to operate McDonald’s in the Philippines. 

In 2005, McDonald's Philippines was fully owned by Filipinos after a number of noteworthy turning events.   Earlier this year, Dr. Yang and Kenneth Yang received a new license to operate McDonald's across the country for the next 20 years, a clear endorsement of their management and leadership.   During the period of heightened growth that coincided with the new-term license, the company opened and operated outlets in nearly every province in the country, bringing the McDonald's experience closer to every Filipino.

“We continue to build on the exceptional McDonald’s experience that our customers have grown up with and continue to love. Because our operations are guided by our strong values and our passion for excellence, we are confident that our customers can enjoy the same great-tasting and high-quality food, and the same top-notch customer service in any of our 800-plus stores nationwide.” ~Mr. Kenneth Yang,

McDonald's is the only quick service restaurant (QSR) in the Philippines that employs direct hiring, and it continues to spend heavily in local employment and talent development.   Since 1981, McDonald's has employed non-contractualization to provide job stability and promotion opportunities to its talent pool of over 70,000 employees.   Through an excellent, all-inclusive training and development program that benefits them both inside and outside the company, every McDonald's employee, regardless of age, gender, or experience, has the opportunity to upgrade their abilities.   This year, the People Management Association of the Philippines named McDonald's Philippines Employer of the Year, a testament to the company's exceptional standards for hiring and developing individuals.

“At McDonald’s, we’re committed to creating feel-good moments for our customers, and that includes celebrating the richness of Filipino pop culture. This exciting collaboration with GMA Network is part of that commitment, specially created for Encantadia fans who have kept the magic alive through the years.” ~Ada Lazaro, McDonald’s Philippines Chief Marketing Officer

As McDonald's introduces their Sang'gre-inspired McFloat flavors, which are currently available nationwide for a limited time, it's time to embark on a wonderful mealtime adventure into Encantadia.

The Sang'gre Meal and McFloat flavors are a part of McDonald's and GMA Network's ongoing partnership to celebrate the success of the Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre, the eagerly anticipated continuation of the primetime telefantasya saga that has enthralled viewers of all ages, as well as the Much Malaki, Much Juicier, and Much Crispier Chicken McDo. 

Inspired by the highly acclaimed series that honors the bravery, honor, and valor of the Sang’gres Flamarra, Deia, Adamus, and Terra, fans can say "Avisala" to the four deliciously daring McFloat tastes.

Each Sang'gre McFloat has its own unique taste.    From the sweet and sugary charm of Sang'gre Deia to the fruity and tangy blast of Sang'gre Flamarra, the refreshing coolness of Sang'gre Adamus, and the lemony twist of Sang'gre Terra, each Sang'gre McFloat offers a distinct flavor experience inspired by the powers of the Sang'gres.   These McFloats, topped with McDonald's renowned creamy vanilla soft serve, are the perfect refreshment break and are made to add a little imagination to every sip.

The Sang'gre McFloats are also included in the unique Sang'gre Meals that are included in a single piece.   In addition to Chicken McDo, a random Limited-Edition Sang'gre photocard will be available for fans and collectors to enjoy. 

The Limited-Edition Sang'gre McFloats and Sang'gre Meal, available for McDelivery, drive-thru, takeout, and dine-in, blend fandom with flavor.

McDonald’s Philippines 800th Store Opening in Davao Global Township

“The opening of our 800th store is another milestone for McDonald’s in the Philippines, following our new term license agreement with McDonald’s Corporation. It is a reflection of our stewardship of the business—our commitment to growth, and our continued commitment to the customers and communities we serve.

McDonald’s Philippines President and CEO Kenneth S. Yang formally opens the company’s 800th store in Davao City, marking a significant milestone in its continued nationwide expansion.

McDonald's Philippines launched its 800th location on June 30th, demonstrating its ongoing expansion and scaling.  This landmark store is situated in Davao Global Township, a new central business district in Davao del Sur that features a park-inspired way of life.

The launch of the store coincides with Golden Arches Development Corporation (GADC) President & CEO Kenneth S. Yang and Chairman and Founder Dr. George T. Yang receiving a new 20-year franchise from McDonald's Corporation in Chicago, Illinois.  George and Kenneth Yang will continue to run and expand the McDonald's brand in the nation, including sub-franchising its eateries, until 2045 under the new agreement.  Since the Golden Arches established its first McDonald's restaurant in Morayta, Manila, in 1981, the Yangs have owned the master franchise for McDonald's in the Philippines.

The new location is located at Matina Galleria, Gen. Douglas MacArthur Highway, Talomo, Davao City, and is open twenty-four hours a day.  It is the first Bike & Dine restaurant and the 22nd McDonald's in Davao City.  The 179-seat eatery offers McDelivery, ride-thru, takeout, and dining in. It also features a Party Area that's ideal for parties.

Approximately 70% of McDonald's Philippines' 65,000+ employees are working students.  All workers receive government-mandated pay and benefits, and their jobs are secure.  They also receive top-notch instruction as well as comprehensive learning and development to advance their careers.
