Makukulay na purple-themed visuals, live performances, games, at interactive activities ang bumungad sa media, influencers, at guests na dumalo sa event.

Refreshi-RISE Booth –  Guests enjoyed striking a pose inside this cute grape-themed photo spot, filled with playful purple vibes, pop-inspired details, and photo-worthy corners perfect for their best snaps. 

Yummi-RISE Booth – Guests enjoyed ice-cold Rise Energy Pop Grape in a vibrant sampling space designed for fun and shareable moments. 

Invigo-RISE Booth – Guests challenged their reflexes, played the claw machine, and enjoyed fast-paced interactive games filled with fun surprises. 

Ayon kay Marketing Head Apple de Belen, ginawa ang Rise Energy Pop para sa young consumers na laging on-the-go.

“We noticed that younger consumers, especially Gen Z, are always looking for something new and exciting. They want drinks that are delicious, refreshing, and bagay sa kanilang fast-paced lifestyle,” aniya.

Tampok din sa event ang Rise Energy Pop Grape, ang unang flavor ng brand. Bukod sa fruity grape taste nito, kapansin-pansin din ang satisfying fizz at refreshing pop na swak sa barkada hangouts, gaming sessions, at study breaks.

Ibinahagi naman ni Senior Brand Manager Joanna Araullo kung bakit grape ang napiling unang flavor.

“Grape perfectly captures the fun, vibrant, and playful personality of the brand. Even its signature purple color reflects the bold and energetic spirit of Rise,” ani Joanna.

Isa sa mga highlight ng event ang pagpapalabas ng campaign video nina Rabin at Angela, kung saan ipinakita ang fun at relatable moments ng kabataan.

Rabin Angeles energizes the crowd with a loud and enthusiastic: "Sarap Mag-Rise!"

Dagdag excitement din ang official anthem ng brand na may catchy hook na:

Mang Inasal celebrates women creators championing Filipino food online

by Info @Brand Zone | March 14, 2026

Chef Beng Velarde, Momfluencer Hiedie Mamauag, and Gen Z KOL Khem Gomez are among the Mang Inasal Creators' Circle members who have redefined content creation and proudly share Filipino food culture with audiences across the country

As digital platforms continue to shape how stories are shared, Filipino audiences are becoming increasingly selective about the voices they follow and engage with online. 

Insights from Meltwater’s Digital 2026 report show that the Philippines remains one of the most socially connected countries globally, with users spending between 30 minutes to more than an hour daily on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. In this crowded digital landscape, audiences are drawn less to viral moments and more to creators whose stories feel authentic, values-driven, and relatable. 

This Women’s Month, Mang Inasal celebrates Filipina creators who embody these qualities—women redefining the content creation space while proudly sharing Filipino food culture with audiences across the country. 

Among them are creators Khem Gomez, Chef Beng Velarde, and Heidie Mamauag, whose journeys reflect resilience, authenticity, and a deep love for Filipino cuisine. 

“Mang Inasal has always been about celebrating what makes us proudly Filipino,” said Mang Inasal president Mike V. Castro. “This Women’s Month, we are proud to highlight Filipina creators who are using their platforms to inspire communities while showcasing the richness of Filipino food culture.” 

Taking the first step 

For many creators, the most difficult part of the journey is simply getting started. Gomez recalls how hesitation once held her back from pursuing content creation. 

“I’ve always wanted to create content since I was young,” she said. “But actually, starting can feel daunting. Still, it’s scarier to look back at the ‘could-have-beens.’” 

Today, Gomez shares creative food-related content, including miniature cooking videos that bring Filipino dishes to life in playful and imaginative ways. For her, Filipino cuisine represents something deeper than content—it reflects identity and pride. 

“Filipino food will always be home,” she said. “The ingredients, the cooking methods, and the stories behind every dish make you proud to share it with the world.” 

Meanwhile, Velarde began her content creation journey during the pandemic while managing professional commitments and other responsibilities. Balancing these priorities requires careful planning. 

“Creating content wasn’t my only focus,” she said. “But those early challenges helped me become more organized and intentional.” 

By planning posts ahead and creating content in batches during weekends, she found a rhythm that allowed her to balance productivity with personal time. “Balance isn’t perfect—it’s intentional,” she added.

Staying authentic in a fast-moving digital world 

The digital content landscape moves quickly, with creators constantly navigating trends, algorithms, and audience expectations. For Gomez, authenticity has been essential to staying grounded. 

“Social media can sometimes make you more calculated than authentic,” she said. “But when you understand yourself and enjoy what you’re creating, the pressure becomes easier to manage.” 

Velarde takes a similar approach, choosing to stay aligned with her values rather than chasing every trend. 

“Algorithms change constantly,” she said. “But I focus on creating content that reflects my brand and purpose instead of trying to keep up with everything.” 

For Mamauag, whose content centers on simple living and home cooking, purpose matters more than popularity. 

“Don’t let likes or views define you,” she said. “Just keep sharing your stories—you never know who might need to hear them.” Messages from followers who find inspiration in her posts continue to motivate her to keep creating. 

Celebrating Filipino food and culture online 

For these creators, food is not just content but also storytelling. 

Velarde sees Filipino cuisine as a powerful way to connect people with culture and heritage. “Every dish carries family memories and regional traditions,” she said. “When we share Filipino food, we’re also sharing stories of who we are.” 

Mamauag’s love for cooking was shaped by her childhood in the province, where many meals were prepared using ingredients from their backyard. “Growing up, our food was simple,” she shared. “But those meals were special because they were made with love.” 

Today, she encourages families to appreciate everyday meals and the meaningful moments shared around the table. 

A shared love for Mang Inasal 

For these creators, Mang Inasal represents the same spirit of Filipino warmth and togetherness they share through their content. 

Gomez describes dining at Mang Inasal as a uniquely Filipino experience. “It truly represents what being Pinoy is,” she said. “From the food to the atmosphere, it makes you proud of your culture.” 

Velarde agrees, noting how the brand’s signature dishes evoke comfort and nostalgia, “Their Chicken Inasal reminds people of home and family,” she said. 

For Mamauag, Mang Inasal also symbolizes moments of togetherness with loved ones. “When Mang Inasal is our meal, my kids already know what that means,” she shared with a smile. “We eat with our hands, enjoy the food, and spend time talking together.” 

As more women find their voices in the digital space, their stories continue to reshape how Filipino culture is shared online. This Women’s Month, Mang Inasal celebrates these Filipina creators who inspire communities while proudly sharing the flavors and stories of Filipino food with the world.
