McDonald’s Philippines has helped in making a difference in the lives of Filipino children by giving back to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) and its programs.

McDonald’s Happy Meal and Stripes Run

Through initiatives like Happy Meal and Stripes Run, McDonald’s is able to fund Ronald McDonald Read to Learn program— a beginning reading program in partnership with the Department of Education that aims to improve the literacy skills of Filipino students while they are at the beginning stages of learning. Under the program, educators are trained on Beginning Reading by providing reading kits to grades 1 and 2 learners. For Read to Learn program alone, over 12 million public school students have benefited and over 28,000 educators have been trained.

Since 2003, the iconic Happy Meal has been the biggest contributor to McDonald’s donations to RMHC, with a portion of every Happy Meal purchase being donated. This November 21, Happy Meal celebrates its 40th global anniversary and as a special treat, will be introducing a limited edition-Surprise Happy Meal, featuring favorite throwback toys from the past four decades.

On the other hand, Stripes Run— now on its 10th year— returns on December 1, 2019, at the SM MOA Concert Grounds. Since its first run in 2010, more than 35,000 Stripes Runners have contributed to RMHC. Kids and adults alike are invited to get their red and white striped socks out and run for reading with running categories of 1K, 3K, 5K, and 10K to choose from!

25 years of RMHC and its programs
For 25 years since being established in the country in 1995, RMHC has made a difference in the lives of Filipino children through programs that support their need for shelter, education, and happiness. Aside from the Stripes Run and Happy Meal-supported Read to Learn program, RMHC also provides help to Filipino children through Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit and Ronald McDonald Bigay Tulong programs. Through the annual Stripes Run, Happy Meal sales contribution, the annual RMHC Golf Tournament, donation canisters in McDonald’s stores, and the newly launched RMHC online portal, funds are continuously raised to expand the reach of the different programs to benefit more Filipino children.

RMHC Executive Director Marie Angeles also introduced the newest RMHC celebrity ambassador, Alden Richards, who will help raise awareness on RMHC’s programs and fund-raising initiatives. Kids from the Bahay Bulilit Learning Center in Quirino, Manila was also surprised by a live reading session by Alden and McDonald’s Chief Happiness Officer Ronald McDonald. With one of the books from the Read to Learn reading kits, Alden gave the kids an engaging and memorable experience— proving he's a perfect fit for the role of RMHC ambassador with the spirit of happiness and giving that he embodies.

Langnese Honey The No.1 German honey brand

“Fly Ace Corporation is committed to bringing the best of the world’s food and beverages to every Filipino home. We are proud for being the chosen partner of Langnese, which gives us even more opportunity to provide a variety of top-quality products that Filipino consumers can easily avail and enjoy.” ~Ramon Daez, General Manager of Fly Ace Corporation

Langnese Honey

As the most popular brand of honey in Germany, Langnese Honig, a traditional company, has always felt it is extremely important to offer the best pure bee honey in consistently high quality.

Langnese Honey

Honey is never simply just honey. With its unique and nuanced taste profiles, honey has long been considered liquid gold and food for the gods. Langnese Honey, Germany’s unrivaled honey company, aims to hit the sweet spot in the Philippines with its five delectable honey flavors. With these five honey variants, you can ‘Find Your Honey’ to match your mood:

• Black Forest

For those who need a little boost and a pick-me-up, the Black Forest Honey with its dark color and full-bodied taste renders itself easily as luxurious quality honey that makes one feel strong.

• Golden Clear

At the end of a busy workday, there is nothing like unwinding with coffee or tea and adding a teaspoon or two of Golden Clear Honey to your drink will make you enjoy your cup more. This has been a popular favorite among generations of honey lovers since 1927.

• Wild Lavender

For those people who are looking to eat healthily and feel light, a drizzle of Wild Lavender Honey will add a delicate and mildly sweet floral taste to your salad.

• Wildflower

Wild Flower Honey is collected by bees from numerous wild blossoms in the sun-drenched natural countryside of Germany, which give this honey the bright golden color and lightly balanced taste. You will feel delighted as it is the perfect ingredient for those who love to cook and bake.

• Acacia

Eating a hearty breakfast is always the perfect way to start the day, especially when you slather Acacia Honey over your breakfast food. Its sweet and subtle taste pairs well with pancakes, breakfast cereals, fruits, and spreads, which will make you feel optimistic about the day ahead. 

(L-R) The event, dubbed as “Langnese: Find Your Honey,” empowers consumers to choose the honey that matches their mood. Whether they are feeling relaxed (Golden Clear), optimistic (Acacia), delighted (Wild Flower), Light (Wild Lavender) or strong (Black Forest) there is a Langnese Honey for them.

“Langnese Honey enhances one’s mood when one knows the right variant that perfectly complements the food. It is known for its purity and versatility, which makes it a kitchen staple that can warm the hearts of Filipino consumers, Whatever your lifestyle needs are, there is a Langnese Honey for you.” ~Emie San Beda, Senior Product Manager of Fly Ace Corporation

(L-R) Fly Ace Corporation President Mr Jun Cochanco, Langnese Head of Sales and Marketing for Southeast Asia Mark Baumgartner, Mr. Ramon Daez, Fly Ace General Manager, and Fly Ace Marketing Head Ms Abbie Ng Reyes.

Honey is the perfect complement to our food and drinks. You can use it for your meals from start to finish, from appetizers to desserts.

Langnese Honey

Langnese is the German market leader for high-quality honey that has passed strict EU food standards. The No.1 German honey brand is all-natural and unfiltered, so it retains the natural goodness of honey without compromising its taste and nutritional benefits. Langnese Honey products are distributed in 45 countries and the Philippines is one of the first Asian markets Langnese has selected to bring its topnotch harvested honey to.

(L-R) Jun Cochanco Fly Ace President, Asian Parent Country Manager Ina Arabia-Garcia, Langnese Head of Sales and Marketing for Southeast Asia Mark Baumgartner and Fly Ace Corp General Manager Ramon Daez

Langnese Honey range (Wild Flower, Acacia, Wild Lavender, Black Forest, and Golden Clear) were used as centerpieces during the event. True to a rustic and earthen feel, these also formed part of the honey experience where they got to try and apply each variant on various dishes served during the degustation.

As with me, I love honey with tea or in a biscuit, but surprisingly honey is more than just a complement to any drinks or biscuit because honey can be mixed to other food that we love to it.
