More Veggies Please Begins Rollout in Metro Manila Supermarkets, Starting with S&R
In celebration of Nutrition Month this July and its theme, “Food and Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sa Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!,” More Veggies Please (MVP), the consumer brand under Metro Pacific Fresh Farms, proudly announces the start of its retail rollout across Metro Manila, making its debut in S&R Membership Shopping locations. Additional supermarket partners are expected to follow in the coming weeks.

Grown and harvested in the largest and most advanced greenhouse facility in the Philippines, More Veggies Please brings a new standard of freshness, safety, and quality to the fresh produce aisle. By combining modern agricultural technology, sustainable practices, and using non-GMO seeds, MVP ensures that every vegetable is grown with care, producing more consistent and safer harvests than those from traditional farming.

A Growing Demand for Healthy Food

The brand’s entry into retail comes at a crucial time for public health and nutrition. According to a 2023 survey by Kantar, 97% of Filipinos place high importance on purchasing healthy grocery items yet only 72% are able to do so consistently, pointing to a gap between intent and accessibility.

At the same time, the World Health Organization emphasizes that unhealthy diets— marked by excessive salt, sugar, and fat—are a key modifiable risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), alongside behaviors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity. In the Philippines, NCDs such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes account for approximately 64.8% of total deaths, with this number expected to rise in the future.

“This gap between aspiration and access is exactly what we aim to close. The job to be done is clear—bring better vegetables, more often, to more Filipinos.” said Toby Gatchalian, Chief Commercial Officer of Metro Pacific Agro Ventures.

Why More Veggies Please?

More Veggies Please is not just about selling vegetables— it’s about helping Filipinos live more vibrant, healthier lives by making nutritious food easier to find and enjoy.

Being just two hours away from Metro Manila, the Bulacan vegetable facility gives MVP a significant advantage in freshness and reliability of supply. The produce is grown in a controlled environment that minimizes the need for pesticides, uses 90% less water and land compared to traditional farming, and is resilient against extreme weather— ensuring steady production all year long.

The facility is also verticallyintegrated, managing every step from seed planting to harvest to delivery. This integration not only guarantees operational efficiency but also significantly reduces food miles, resulting in fresher produce reaching Metro Manila.

Available Products

Customers can now find a wide range of MVP’s premium produce including:
- Cherry Tomatoes: Red Cherry, Yellow Cherry, Chocolate Cherry
- Cucumbers: Lebanese Cucumber, Japanese Cucumber
- Lettuce Varieties: Crystal Lettuce, Salanova Lettuce, Batavia Lettuce, Butterhead Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce

The beloved favorite just got a tasty makeover, and it’s now creaMMMier, yuMMMier, cheesier, and loaded with more of what fans love most, real spinach and rich flavor in every bite. Whether you’re team hand-tossed or thin crust, this revamped classic is here to win hearts (and cravings) all over again

A Spinach Pizza Like No Other

Shakey’s didn’t just tweak the recipe—they took things up a notch. The updated Creamy Spinach Pizza now comes with a thicker layer of real spinach and a generous helping of melty, creamy cheeses.

It’s creamy, it’s rich, but never heavy, striking that perfect balance that keeps you coming back for another slice.

Each slice is carefully crafted to deliver a richer, more satisfying mouthful. You’ll spot vibrant green spinach strands and bubbling cheese that’s evenly spread across the crust. And unlike versions that go overboard with spreadable cheese, this one strikes the perfect balance. It’s indulgent without being heavy, flavorful without overpowering the palate.

Even Marian Rivera, who recently joined the Shakey’s family, is a fan and she knows her spinach pizza. If it’s got her stamp of approval, you know it’s a winner.

Three New Spinach Tasty Twists to Try

Spinach & Shrimp: Seafood lovers, this one’s for you. Juicy shrimp bring a briny, ocean-fresh pop to the creamy base, making each slice feel like a coastal escape. Perfect for those craving something a little fancy.

Spinach & Mushroom: This variant combines earthy mushrooms with the rich spinach-cheese duo. It’s bold, savory, and oh-so-satisfying.

22 Years of Sips and Stories with The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Philippines
For 22 years, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® Philippines has been more than just a coffee shop, it’s been a cozy corner for first dates, late-night study sessions, and heartfelt catch-ups with friends. As the brand marks its 22nd anniversary, it’s rolling out a love-filled celebration with the #WithLoveCBTL campaign, putting the spotlight on the community that’s made every sip special. From a stylish collectible tote to refreshing new drinks and a heartwarming cause, here’s why you’ll want to join the party!

A Brew-tiful Journey Together

CBTL’s 22nd anniversary isn’t just about the brand, it’s a love letter to its community. Remember their past campaigns like #20YearsOfYouAndMe or #AStoryInEveryCup? This year’s #WithLoveCBTL theme puts you, the loyal coffee and tea lovers, front and center. Every latte you’ve ordered, every study session you’ve powered through, and every catch-up with friends over iced tea has shaped CBTL into what it is today.

The campaign is a nod to the memories you’ve created in their cozy cafés across the Philippines. Whether you’re a regular who knows the baristas by name or someone who pops in for a quick pick-me-up, CBTL is saying thank you for being part of their story.

#WithLoveCBTL – More Than a Hashtag

What’s a celebration without a meaningful cause? At the heart of the celebration is #WithLoveCBTL, a message of thanks to its loyal community. But this year’s campaign goes beyond coffee and gratitude — it supports a meaningful cause. A portion of the proceeds from the 22nd-anniversary campaign will go toward The U-Go Scholar Grant, a program by the Ayala Foundation that supports driven young women in public universities. That means every stamp you collect is a step toward a brighter future for someone else.

The Anniversary Exclusive: The Everywear Tote

As part of its milestone celebration, CBTL introduces the 22nd Anniversary Collection featuring the Everywear Tote— a stylish, functional, and collectible canvas bag made for everyday adventures.

Available in Cream, Navy, and Olive, this tote isn’t just pretty — it’s designed with thoughtful features that make it practical too:
- Durable canvas exterior
- Adjustable straps for shoulder or crossbody use
- Padded laptop sleeve (fits up to 13” laptops)
- Built-in tumbler holder
- Multiple compartments and a hidden front pocket
- Signature bean & leaf rubber patch logo

You can get your hands on the Everywear Tote by:
- Collecting 20 stamps — 16 from any beverage and 4 from the Shaken Espresso drinks
- Or purchasing it for ₱2,600
Stamp collection runs from May 16 to July 31, 2025, at participating CBTL stores nationwide.

New on the Menu: The Shaken Espresso Series

To make your stamp-collecting journey even more exciting, CBTL is shaking things up — literally — with the Shaken Espresso Series. These new beverages bring bold espresso flavors with a refreshingly creamy, frothy finish. Choose between:
- Signature Shaken Espresso
- White Mocha Shaken Espresso
Whether you’re a die-hard espresso lover or just curious to try something new, these drinks are a delicious way to cool down and earn stamps.

Join the Celebration

This 22nd anniversary isn’t just a milestone, it’s an invitation. Head to your nearest The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® store, sip on your favorite drink (or try the new Shaken Espresso), collect stamps, and reward yourself with the Everywear Tote. Every cup is a thank you, and every visit is part of a story that continues to brew strong.
