The Maya Kitchen Teams Up with FEATR to Celebrate Filipino Culinary Heritage

For more than six decades, the trusted Filipino kitchen staple MAYA has been synonymous with home cooking and baking. Its culinary arts center, The Maya Kitchen, continues to promote culinary education through short courses and lifestyle classes.

Today, the two brands present a new chapter with The Maya Kitchen Culinary Elite—a special cooking demonstration series featuring chefs and restaurateurs who are given a platform to share their curated recipes.

Originally held from 2010 to 2016, the Culinary Elite program now returns with renewed purpose: to highlight heritage Filipino ingredients, strengthen connections with regional food producers, and reintroduce Filipino pantry staples to a new generation through contemporary techniques and storytelling.

A Brand Built in the Filipino Kitchen

Introduced to the Philippine market in 1962, MAYA quickly became a household name with the launch of its pioneering hotcake mix. The product soon became a breakfast staple among Filipino families and remains one of the most recognizable products in the brand’s portfolio today.

For generations, MAYA Hotcakes have been part of Filipino breakfasts, merienda moments, and childhood snacks. The simplicity of preparing hotcakes from the mix introduced many Filipinos to cooking for the first time—helping build confidence in the kitchen.

Over the years, MAYA expanded beyond hotcakes to include a wide range of baking and pantry essentials—from chocolate, oat, and whole wheat hotcake mixes, brownie mixes and premium cake mixes, to flour, cornstarch, and its signature Oven-Toaster mixes.

A New Chapter for the Maya Culinary Elite

According to Ernesto Fajardo, President of Liberty Commodities Corporation, the initiative reinforces the brand’s deeper connection to Filipino culinary culture. “For decades, MAYA has been part of Filipino family traditions – from breakfast hotcakes to first baking experiences in the kitchen. Reviving The Maya Kitchen Culinary Elite allows us to strengthen that legacy by working closely with chefs and storytellers who share our passion for promoting Filipino culinary education and innovation. Through this initiative, we continue the work of both Maya and The Maya Kitchen in inspiring Filipinos to cook, learn, and rediscover our food heritage.”

A Legacy of Culinary Education

For Maya Kitchen consultant Nina Daza Puyat, who has long championed Filipino cuisine and food education, the revival of the program reflects MAYA’s enduring role in shaping Filipino culinary culture. “The Maya Kitchen has always been about sharing knowledge and teaching Filipinos how to cook confidently at home. The Culinary Elite program allows us to promote and preserve our Filipino food heritage while adapting it for the next generation of home cooks.”

A Creative Partnership with FEATR

Rooted in a shared commitment of celebrating Filipino cuisine and championing local ingredients, the collaboration between MAYA and FEATR brings together two platforms that advocate for sustainability, culinary education, and the preservation of Filipino food traditions.

By highlighting regional ingredients and the communities behind them, the partnership encourages more mindful cooking while shining a spotlight on the richness of the country’s culinary heritage.

A key collaborator in the revival is Erwan Heussaff, founder of the food storytelling platform FEATR, whose work focuses on documenting Filipino culinary traditions and regional ingredients. According to Erwan, “Filipino food has always been more than sustenance: it’s a record of who we are, where we came from, and what we’ve been through. FEATR exists to help make sure those stories aren’t forgotten, to deepen how we understand and appreciate our food and ingredients today, and to help shape what Filipino food could become tomorrow. We communicate everything we learn about our culture through our digital platforms and shows, but we always felt like something was missing. This year we hope to hold more events like this, where people can interact with the ingredients and stories that we’ve featr’d in our documentaries.”

Collaboration Rooted in Heritage

For the Maya Culinary Elite, Heussaff presents “Not-So Modern Filipino Pantry”, a culinary concept that reimagines heritage Filipino ingredients through modern, accessible cooking.

The project explores heritage Filipino ingredients many of which come from small communities and traditional food practices – and presents them through contemporary recipes designed for modern kitchens.

A Collaboration Rooted in Heritage: “Not-So Modern Filipino Pantry”

As part of the collaboration, Heussaff introduces “Not-So Modern Filipino Pantry”, showcasing a curated approach to Filipino heritage ingredients through creative, contemporary interpretations.

This initiatives highlights locally sourced ingredients- rooted in regional traditions, and transforms them into thoughtfully crafted recipes suited for today’s kitchens.

Asin Tultol – A rare cooked sea salt from Guimaras created by filtering seawater through burned driftwood before evaporating the brine over fire, producing a mineral-rich finishing salt.

Gamet – A hand-harvested dried seaweed from Sta. Praxedes, Cagayan, known for its natural umami and mineral content.

Pudpod – A traditional smoked fish patty from Eastern Samar made from flaked fish mixed with aromatics, prized for its rich, savory smokiness.

Sukang Paombong – A naturally fermented nipa palm vinegar from Bulacan recognized for its complex acidity and depth of flavor.

Pakaskas – A rare buri palm sugar from Isla Verde, Batangas, valued for its smoky sweetness and grainy texture.

Kinuday – A traditional smoked meat from the Cordilleras rooted in indigenous preservation techniques linked to the Cañao ritual. Known for its deep, bacon-like flavor, it has become a versatile ingredient in both traditional and modern Filipino cooking.

Through these recipes, the series reframes Filipino heritage ingredients as versatile pantry staples— bridging traditional flavors with modern culinary creativity.

Celebrating the Culinary Elite

Throughout the years, the Maya Kitchen Culinary Elite has featured some of the country’s most respected culinary figures and restaurateurs, including chefs and food advocates such as Glenda Barretto, Claude Tayag, JP Anglo, Jessie Sincioco, Tatung Sarthou, Chele Gonzales and the late Margarita Forés.

With the revival of the Maya Culinary Elite, Maya once again places Filipino chefs, ingredients, and culinary storytelling at the forefront of its mission—ensuring that the traditions that shaped Filipino cooking continue to inspire the kitchens of today and tomorrow.

The Maya Kitchen is the culinary center of MAYA, a brand dedicated to promoting food education, recipe development, and the celebration of Filipino cuisine. For over 60 years, Maya has been a trusted name in Filipino kitchens, inspiring generations of home cooks through its baking mixes, flours, and pantry staples.

Get Your Travel Fund Summer-Ready with Maya

If your group chats have quietly rebranded themselves into “Siargao 2.0” or “Japan 2026,” that’s usually the cue: summer planning has officially begun. Flights are being shared. Leave credits are being filed. Outfit mood boards are slowly taking shape.

But here’s what’s different in 2026: trips don’t feel like spontaneous splurges anymore, they feel intentional.

According to recent findings, Millennials and Gen Z travelers aren’t just spending on travel. They’re planning earlier, booking more deliberately, and mapping out itineraries months ahead.

Vacations are being treated as something to build toward, not just swipe for. Financial preparation is becoming part of the process, right alongside Pinterest boards and shared spreadsheets.

That’s where Maya — the country’s #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform — fits naturally into the picture. Because as the plans take shape, the travel fund should too.

Build the Fund Before You Book

Stress-free travelers don’t start saving two weeks before takeoff. They build dedicated funds early.

Whether it’s a cherry blossom reset, a long-overdue European milestone trip, or simply a beach escape, more users are setting up travel funds through Maya Personal Goals and contributing gradually over time. Instead of mixing airfare with grocery money, they separate everyday spending from future plans, ensuring rent money stays rent money, while travel money grows steadily in the background.

With Maya Personal Goals, users can create up to five separate savings targets and start earning 4% interest per annum immediately. Every ₱20,000 added boosts the interest rate, reaching up to 8% p.a. on deposits of up to ₱100,000, making it easier to grow funds faster without disrupting daily expenses.

Spend Strategically, Not Impulsively

Planning doesn’t mean stopping spending. It means making every spend work harder.

By keeping funds in Maya Savings and using Maya for everyday transactions, users can grow their savings while managing regular expenses. With up to 15% interest per annum and interest credited daily, your money doesn’t just sit, it grows consistently, day after day.

Spending, meanwhile, can also be strategic. The Maya Black Credit Card earns instant Maya Miles on all transactions: from flights and hotel bookings to groceries, bills, dining, and more. At Maya Black Preferred merchants, cardholders can earn up to 10X Maya Miles, helping rewards accumulate faster on select purchases.

Those Miles can later be used to offset future travel expenses, turning routine spending into practical value.

Frequent flyers also receive complimentary quarterly global lounge access, a tangible perk that upgrades departure days without the typical premium card fees. Globally accepted and designed for a digital-first lifestyle, the card complements how modern travelers move: cashless, connected, and prepared.

Even pre-trip dinners can work in your favor. Using the Maya Credit Card at participating restaurants gives up to 20% cashback straight to your Maya wallet, helping stretch budgets without cutting back on the send-off moments that make trips memorable.

Because optimizing spending doesn’t mean sacrificing joy. It means making it sustainable.

Summer memories feel better when they aren’t financed by future stress. So go ahead, book the flight, build the Pinterest board, plan the itinerary. Just make sure your travel fund is growing while you do.
