Daily Beer, Korea’s number one chicken-and-beer restaurant, is set to open its first Philippine flagship at Arcovia City Pasig, in October 2025. Through Opulence Prime Ventures Inc., the brand’s Master Franchisor in the country, Daily Beer brings the strength of over 370 outlets across South Korea, where it has become a celebrated destination for pairing premium craft brews with authentic Korean comfort food. Daily Beer is known for one of Korea’s most sought-after fried chicken recipes, crispy, flavorful, and consistently perfect across all branches. Paired with ice-cold beer and a menu of comforting favorites like tteokbokki, mandu, kimchi stew, and sizzling stir-fries, every visit is a complete Korean dining experience.
A Glocal Concept with Universal Appeal
Daily Beer’s glocal philosophy, global in concept yet local in flavor has fueled its rise as one of Korea’s most recognized dining chains. From Seoul to Singapore and Bangkok, and soon Manila, the brand has created lively spaces where people gather over bold flavors, craft beers, and a youthful, convivial atmosphere.
“Bringing Daily Beer to the Philippines has been a long-awaited dream,” shared Kirkland Whang, Chairman of Daily Beer Philippines. “Our flagship store will introduce Manila to Daily Beer’s finest collection of Korean craft beers paired with comfort food favorites. We believe this will quickly become a go-to destination for Filipinos looking for quality, flavor, and a laid-back place to gather with friends.”
As the Hallyu Wave Thrives, So Does the Chicken-and-Beer Craze
The Philippines provides fertile ground for Daily Beer’s expansion. Filipinos have long embraced Korean culture, from K-dramas to K-pop, and this cultural affinity has extended to food. With adventurous palates and a craving for experiences that are both social and flavorful, the local market is primed for a brand that blends fun, authenticity, and approachability.
“The Philippines is a key step in our global expansion,” said Sangjin Lim, CEO of Daily Beer Korea. “Our proven model already thriving in markets like Singapore and Bangkok delivers strong profitability for our local partners while offering Filipinos a unique beer-and-dining experience rooted in Korean culture. With our diverse portfolio of craft beers and a crowd-pleasing food menu, Daily Beer is designed to attract repeat customers and create steady foot traffic for every venue.”
Beyond the Flagship
The Arcovia City branch is just the beginning. Daily Beer Philippines has confirmed SM Fairview and Paseo Parkview Suites as its next openings, with a target of 10 more locations in the next two years. This expansion underscores the brand’s confidence in the Philippine market and its commitment to becoming a staple in the country’s food-and-beverage scene.
Since its founding in 2014, Daily Beer has been recognized as a leading franchise in South Korea, earning prestigious honors such as the Korea Franchise Business Award for five consecutive years and the Brand of the Year Award by the Korea Customers Council. These accolades affirm its reputation as a powerhouse brand that consistently delivers excellence in quality, service, and innovation.
Manila’s Next Culinary Hotspot With its bold tagline Life is Short, Drink More Beer, Daily Beer speaks directly to Manila’s young, vibrant working community seeking flavorful, casual, and social dining options. Its October 2025 opening at Arcovia promises more than just another restaurant launch; it marks the arrival of a culinary hotspot where Filipinos can immerse themselves in a beloved Korean tradition while creating new memories with friends.

School’s officially back, and with it the early mornings, baon prep, never-ending shopping lists, and long days for parents – especially moms. In the newest episode of Mommy, G Ka Na?, celebrity host and mom of two Jolina Magdangal-Escueta opens up about the pressure of balancing her numerous responsibilities during the back-to-school season.
Together with guests Dimples Romana and Angeline Quinto, the candid conversation turns personal, andthe three moms share personal stories, smart strategies, and comforting words for moms who may be overwhelmed with the back-to-school rush. They remind each other, “Hindi mo kailangang gawin lahat mag-isa.”
Amid the laughs and real talk, Jolina, Angeline, and Dimples reveal some of their back-to-school survival tricks.
Angeline, for example, swears by the power of a cute lunchbox (or fun shapes) to get her kids to eat. “Kahit simpleng sandwich lang, basta cute ang baunan, ganado na agad si Sylvio,” she shares.
She and Jolina also agree that fancy recipes aren’t necessary. Instead, a little bit of creativity and a whole lot of love go a long way. As Jolina puts it, “Hindi kailangang mahal ang baon, basta punong-puno ng effort at love, ramdam ‘yan ng mga anak natin.”
Then there’s the never-ending to-do list. Groceries, bills, errands. Sometimes, when schedules get too packed, there are things forgotten along the way. For when it gets overwhelming, the three moms all agree – shopping online and paying with GCash is the ultimate lifesaver. While doing the laundry or helping with their kids’ homework, they can check off items on their grocery list without even leaving the house!
Dimples, meanwhile, brings up the challenges she faces having to keep up with the constant stream of expenses once the school year starts. From school projects and extracurricular activities to unexpected gastos, the financial pressure doesn’t end after enrollment.
“Kala mo tapos ka na, pero may bagong shoes, uniforms, at pang-extracurricular pa pala,” she opens up. Her solution? Breaking down the big-ticket items. With GCash’s GGives, she can split purchases like gadgets or sports gear into smaller payments, with zero down payment needed.
And of course, there are the surprise expenses – like when emergencies happen. For those moments, Jolina reminds viewers that they can lean on GCredit, which provides users with a credit line of up to PHP 50,000. For even bigger needs like tuition fees, there’s also GLoan, which lets users borrow up to PHP 150,000 instantly, with affordable terms and quick disbursement straight to their GCash wallet. “At least alam mong may masasandalan ka. Hindi ka kakabahan agad,” they agree. It’s peace of mind for those who are faced with unexpected expenses before payday.
Watch Mommy, G Ka Na? online
Throughout the episodes, a recurring theme emerges: moms can learn a lot from other moms. “Okay lang humingi ng tulong,” Jolinareminds viewers. “May mga kapwa mommy, may mga tools — tulungan tayo.”
Stream Mommy, G Ka Na? on the official YouTube channel of GCash. Join the conversation online with fellow moms finding gaan and ginhawa in every stage of school-year parenting by following @gcashofficial on Instagram and Facebook.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S11, delivering its most intelligent and advanced tablet experience yet. Powered by the latest Galaxy AI now enhanced by One UI 8 and new multimodal capabilities, Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the thinnest Galaxy Tab to date, without compromising performance, going beyond a slim form factor to show what a premium tablet can be. Together, the series is built for effortless productivity on the go, combining pro-grade hardware with experiences optimized for a large screen.
With upgraded Samsung DeX and a redesigned S Pen, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra supports focused multitasking and seamless workflows, while also enabling creative expression in a sleek, portable form. Whether capturing ideas in a meeting, summarizing lecture notes or sketching out visual concepts, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra empowers users to handle more with less friction, wherever they are.
“The Galaxy Tab S11 series combines AI innovation with refined hardware to deliver a true multitasking experience that reflects Samsung’s deep experience in mobile productivity,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the latest Galaxy AI and new multimodal capabilities, these flagship tablets enable ultimate efficiency – empowering users to work, create and flow more naturally across a versatile, large screen.”
Powering Everyday Tasks with Advanced AI
With One UI 8, the Galaxy Tab S11 series brings multimodal AI to the forefront – understanding what users type, say and see, and responding in real time with helpful suggestions, these tools unlock a more fluid way to work, create and stay in flow across any task.
● Gemini Live enables real-time screen sharing and visual input, so users can have a natural conversation with Gemini about what they’re looking at. Whether it’s on-screen content or an object that someone wants to show by pointing the camera at it – Gemini Live can handle contextual questions and requests by seeing what the user sees. For instance, a user in a class can easily screen share their notes, then ask Gemini to interpret a chart or explain the study material and summarize its insights.
● By pressing and holding the side button, users can activate Gemini and carry out commands across apps with a single command. For instance, when there’s no time to read a lengthy article, users can share the link with Gemini and say, “Summarize this article and save it to Samsung Notes,” making it easier to catch up later. It simplifies complex actions so users can stay in their flow.
The Galaxy Tab S11 series is packed with additional tools for effortless productivity and creativity – including the full suite of Galaxy AI features, optimized for the large screen.
● Users can turn rough sketches into clean visuals with Drawing Assist then drag and drop images they’ve created into Samsung Notes as a starting point for further ideation – perfect for brainstorming, visual planning or creative exploration.
● Writing Assist helps rework tone and style, so users can easily refine a piece of writing to ensure it matches their intended meaning before dropping it into an email, document or other apps.
● While multitasking, users can keep Galaxy AI close at hand as a moveable and compact overlay, presented in a floating view, allowing them to summarize the content on their screen without breaking focus.
Circle to Search with Google is now even more helpful for getting context and diving deeper into anything users see on their device’s screen. Users are able to translate text in real-time as they scroll and interact. From news articles to social media posts, users will see instant, on-screen translations of the underlying text in their preferred language.
● The Galaxy Tab S11 series comes with the newly redesigned S Pen that’s built for both focused work and creative expression. Its new cone-shaped pen tip supports increased tilt angles for better control, while a hexagonal design provides a more natural, ergonomic feel that’s comfortable and stable in the hand. Quick Tools make it easy to adjust on the fly while drawing or editing with floating access, while Sticky Note lets users capture sudden thoughts or to-dos directly over Samsung Notes – no more app switching required during document review.
Full-Scale Productivity
In addition to Galaxy AI, the enhanced Samsung DeX on the Galaxy Tab S11 series empowers users to maximize their productivity when multitasking across apps, taking notes during meetings or simply mapping out ideas. Whether you’re a designer building out visual concepts or a frequent traveler planning a trip across apps and displays, the Galaxy Tab S11 series features support every step, from researching and sketching to sharing polished results.
The latest Samsung DeX upgrades unlock next-level productivity, starting with Extended Mode, which transforms Galaxy Tab S11 and an external monitor into a seamless dual-screen setup. It runs Samsung DeX across both screens simultaneously for more intuitive multitasking and greater flexibility – now users can drag and drop apps between displays or reference a document on one screen while presenting on the other. Also new to Samsung DeX, users can now create up to four separate, customized workspaces for different needs. For example, one workspace can be dedicated for work, another to creative projects and a third to planning a trip.
With the upgraded Samsung DeX, users can set up a full working environment from virtually anywhere – whether it’s connecting to a meeting room TV for a presentation or adding final touches to a work document at the airport lounge just before starting a vacation.
Combined with in-box Book Cover Keyboard Slim, the Galaxy Tab S11 series easily transforms into a personalized, mobile workstation with instant access to AI assistants through the dedicated Galaxy AI Key.
Made to Perform, Built to Move
The Galaxy Tab S11 series delivers its most advanced performance yet, equipped with cutting-edge hardware and immersive visuals in a slim, highly portable design. Samsung brings its enhanced 3nm processor to Galaxy Tab for the first time in the S11 series, offering faster processing, smoother multitasking and more responsive AI features.
