At a time when burgers seem to be getting bigger and bigger, here’s a burger brand that proves that size doesn’t always matter. Meet BatBurgs —the cutest burgers in town!
The burger joint started as a food truck way back in 2015 when Bateng Arde, BatBurgs’ Owner and Founder thought of creating a fun, little burger concept—mini burgers. BatBurgs are offered at around 2 – 2.5 inches.
“We thought of serving these mini burgers in a box to keep everything easy to grab and eat, and share within family and friends,” said Bateng.

With just a capital of Php 2000, Bateng reopened BatBurgs as a food delivery service to earn a living during the pandemic. It instantly became a huge hit in the community of Dasmariñas and because of this they were able to open their first shop.
“People are amused and surprised with our cute burgers. Immediately, it may seem lacking in size, but our burgers are big in flavor and serving. Our customers always say that every bite is a delightful surprise.” said Sarah Salido, BatBurgs’ Managing Partner.

Their best seller is Party Box with 12 pcs of mini burgers with assorted flavors: Classic TLC, Cheese, Barbecue and Garlic.
“Our burgers are definitely unique not just in size but also because of how they are made with our fully customized homemade brioche buns and beef burger patties,” she added.

Aside from serving mini burgers, BatBurgs has expanded its menu to snack boxes, mini sausage, takodogs, fries and soda pop drinks.

In 2021, the team organized a Community Pantry for 1000 kids and families in Brgy. Bukal, Cavinti, Laguna. They also participated in Feed It Forward PH’s Father’s Day “Community Patty”. As people lined up, they were given BatBurgs burgers for breakfast.

Coffee Enthusiasts gathered at Borro Manila to witness the launch and try by themselves the newest Breville Philippines line of Coffee machines. The Barista Pro and The Barista Express Impress.
Meet the Breville Barista Pro, a new product joining the lineup of the top premium home lifestyle brand Breville Philippines. The espresso machine is a model right out of the dreams of coffee enthusiasts who want to enjoy third-wave coffee without fuss by marrying precision with speed. The Barista Pro delivers quality specialty coffee using its four keys formula that combines the ideal dosage, the right temperature, optimal pressure, and sufficient steam for every cup that you make.
The product DNA of this new model was specially made for those who want their coffee to be excellent and fast. It is equipped with a Thermojet Heating System that provides optimum extraction temperature in three seconds, so you don’t have to wait. With a single touch of a button, this espresso machine also delivers the perfect amount of coffee that is packed with maximum flavor.
Quality-wise, the Barista Pro delivers cups that can rival any cafe. You can expect to enjoy full-bodied sips laced with rich and complex flavors that can only be achieved by having a perfect dose of 18g freshly ground beans from a professional 54mm stainless steel portafilter. Be ready to experience opulent, creamy, and caramel-colored shots of espresso delivered from low-pressure pre-infusions and a high-pressure 9-bar extraction process from a 15-bar Italian pump. Silky, velvety microfoam milk is also created by its powerful steam wand.
Quality, convenience, and expertise. These are three things you can expect from the Breville Barista Pro which was made for the no-fuss coffee enthusiast. If you’re ready to experience a new era of coffee enjoyment—one that is on your terms and own timing—then this is the perfect product for you to bring home. The model retails for P79,999 but you can also trade up if you have other Breville models of espresso machines.
On the other hand, let’s talk about Breville The Barista Express Impress. This new espresso maker is the best kitchen partner to bring home if you are a busy bee. From its design to its features, the espresso machine was created to fit the lifestyle of those who want to get the most out of their coffee experience but do not have the luxury of time to make one. The model’s product DNA speaks for itself. As Breville’s first assisted manual espresso machine, the Barista Express Impress is the definition of convenience, quality, and simplicity.
One of the star features of the model is its Impress Puck System which helps craft the best cup for you. The system involves intelligent dosing which automatically calculates the dosage you need. From there, the machine will precisely tamp with a 10kg impression and 7-degree barista twist for a polished puck. The system also gauges when the correct level is achieved and makes sure to use this for your next brewing.
Like the other impressive models of espresso machines of Breville Philippines, the Barista Express Impress also delivers Third Wave Specialty Coffee using the four keys formula which, other than providing the ideal dosage, also sets the right temperature, optimal pressure, and sufficient steam for your coffee.
From all angles, this newest offering from Breville Philippines reinvents the way coffee lovers’ approach and enjoy coffee. It is perfect proof against the misconception that quality third-wave coffee is elitist and that enjoying it requires time and knowledge. The Barista Express Impress is the ideal entry model for budding coffee enthusiasts or those who simply want to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to convenience and quality. Furthermore, it proves that better coffee is for everyone and that anyone can #BringThemHome if they have the right home partners by their side.

Snacks company marks six decades of advocating for mindful and sustainable snacking
Parañaque City government confers Mondelez Philippines with ‘Key To The City’
Oreo, Cadbury, Eden, Cheez Whiz, Tang, and Toblerone: these are just some of the brands that have defined snacking for the everyday Filipino. For decades, Mondelez Philippines has been one of the leaders of the country’s snacking landscape; proudly sporting its mission of providing the right snack, for the right moment, and made the right way – and this year is no exception.
It is this commitment to lead the future of snacking that’s brought its greatest milestone yet: Sixty years of empowering every Filipino to snack right. At the epicenter of the company’s snacking operations is its 8-hectare manufacturing and commercial facility located in Parañaque City, which has been its home since July 31, 1963.
(From Left to Right) Mel Alipo-on, Paranaque Tourism Head; April Valencia, Mondelez Philippines People Lead; Dr. Olga Virtucio, Paranaque Health Office Head; Mae Corona, Mondelez Philippines Senior Legal Counsel; Joan Villafuerte, Paranaque Vice Mayor; Eric Olivarez, Paranaque Mayor; Aleli Arcilla, Philippines Vice President & Managing Director; Virge Lapuz, Mondelez Philippines Finance Lead; Atty Melanie Malaya, Parañaque Business Permits and Licensing Office Head; Caitlin Punzalan, Mondelez Philippines Corporate & Government Affairs Lead; Mark Allen Besa, Paranaque Environment Head
This is why while 2023 marks Mondelez Philippines’ anniversary in the Philippines, it is more importantly its 60th year of calling the City of Parañaque home. It is this heritage manufacturing facility and home office along Dr. Arcadio Santos Avenue that’s been the nucleus of delivering some of the Philippines’ favorite snacks all over the country.
“We extend our gratitude to the City of Parañaque for being our home all these many years,” said Mondelez Philippines Vice President Aleli Arcilla. “We have benefitted from the support that the City has provided us, and in turn we have done our utmost to be a responsible corporate citizen.”
Aside from being one of the City’s top taxpayers for many years running, a part of the Company’s sixty-year-old heritage is Mondelez Philippine’s various advocacies.
In recent years, the Company – along with the Parañaque City Government – have embarked on several advocacy campaigns on health like the Company’s 11-year long Joy Schools feeding program that’s fed thousands of the City’s students; the donation of more than 2,000 doses of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccines to the Paranaque Local Government Unit (LGU) during the pandemic; and Mondelez Philippines’ recent collaboration with the City Health Office to provide a learning session for Barangay Health Workers on its Mindful Snacking advocacy – led by speakers from the Nutritionist-Dietitians Association of the Philippines (NDAP).
The Company has also dedicated its efforts to pursuing its advocacies on environmental sustainability by partnering with the City to build a plastic recycling facility that aims to help reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in nature. Additionally, the Company painted the crosswalk in front of its complex in rainbow colors as a show of solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community for Pride Month, and in partnership with the City’s Special Services Office.
This is why the Parañaque City government recently conferred to Mondelez Philippines a symbolic “Key to the City,” which aims to express the former’s gratitude and civic recognition of the company’s contributions to the people of Parañaque City.
“With all these milestones and accomplishments, we express our appreciation and gratitude to Mondelez Philippines for all the collaborative efforts and unwavering support to Parañaque City,” said Mayor Eric Olivarez, who personally awarded the symbolic key during a ceremony held on August 7, 2023, in Parañaque. “Today’s event is a celebration of the Company’s values of strong leadership, commitment to serve the community, and sense of volunteerism for the last 60 years. We look forward to more years of success to come between our institutions.”
