Pinoy Fans Celebrate McDonald’s Iconic Fries with a Nationwide FryFest

Thousands of Filipinos gathered last September 4 for McDonald's Philippines' biggest fries celebration yet, the first-ever McDo FryFest, which featured unlimited fries, games, and activities. The McDo FryFest, held simultaneously at over 50 McDonald's locations nationwide, is the culmination of months of Fries-filled celebrations by the quick service restaurant, bringing together a community of Fries lovers to celebrate their shared love for McDonald's World Famous Fries.

A Season of Fries-Filled Celebrations

McDonald's Philippines began celebrating its beloved fries on July 10, National Fries Day, by making its fan-favorite BFF Fries more enjoyable and shareable with a one-day-only P99 promotion. Building on the excitement, every subsequent Friday became a FryDay, giving customers even more reasons to enjoy and share McDonald's World Famous Fries through weekly deals and exclusive offers. Week after week, Fries fans turned their personal cravings into a national celebration of one of the brand's most iconic products.

"We are thankful to everyone who celebrated our World Famous Fries during National Fries Day and every Fry Day that followed. Fry Fest is our way of bringing together the community of Pinoy Fries fans who have continuously shown their love for our World Famous Fries. We wanted to create a fun and memorable experience that celebrates not only the product, but the people who have made it a favorite through the years. The emotional connection of our Fries to generations of Pinoys is built not just with how good it is but how it has been part of moments and memories that fans and customers cherish." ~Ada Almendras-Lazaro, McDonald’s Philippines Chief Marketing Officer

Aside from unlimited Fries and games and activities, all participants of the McDo FryFest also took home a limited-edition Fries pouch with wrist strap.

The Fries Filipinos Keep Coming Back To

The World Famous Fries, which are cut from whole potatoes before being deep fried and salted, have grown to become one of McDonald's Philippines' most popular menu items. Its consistency in quality, taste, and freshness made it famous around the world, but what makes it iconic is how it creates everyday feel-good moments, whether through snacking or sharing.

As McDonald's Philippines concludes its largest celebration of World Famous Fries yet, customers can continue to create more feel-good moments with their favorite Fries, which are available nationwide via Dine-In, Take-Out, Drive-Thru, McDelivery, and third-party delivery apps.

Earlier in April, the 56th Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit Learning Center was formally turned over to the City of Manila by McDonald's Philippines and the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Philippines. 

Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso and other municipal officials received the key to the newest Bahay Bulilit Learning Center from McDonald's representatives at a formal ceremony at the McDonald's United Nations–Del Pilar location. This Bahay Bulilit, which is situated in Boystown Manila, is the city's second such facility after the one in Quirino.

As the country's newest Bahay Bulilit Learning Center, Bahay Bulilit Boystown is committed to meeting the early childhood care and development requirements of the community's young learners. Every year, the statewide network of 56 Bahay Bulilit Learning Centers educates nearly 5,000 children.

“Today marks an important milestone for us with our Ronald McDonald Bahay Bulilit efforts in Manila. We remain committed to working alongside partners to support workers, families, and communities in meaningful ways. The opening of the second Bahay Bulilit in Manila is also an expression of our continuing partnership with the city, not only through business, but also through programs that address community needs, such as education and employment, among others.” ~Margot Torres, McDonald’s Philippines Managing Director

During the same ceremony, Mayor Domagoso distributed rice to McDonald's employees, including older citizens who are part of the company's inclusive recruiting program, M for All. The Biyayang Bigas Para sa Maynila rice distribution was part of the city's social assistance efforts, carried out in collaboration with the Office of the President through the 2026 Local Government Support Fund.

Since 2019, McDonald's has collaborated closely with the City of Manila to promote economic opportunities for seniors. Currently, 51 senior persons work in 26 company-owned and franchise establishments in Manila.

Dunk Into Flavor Once Again as McDonald’s Brings Back the Cheese and Chili Con Carne Dunks, Plus the Ebi Burger

McDonald's Philippines encourages customers to "dunk into flavor" once more with the reintroduction of the Cheese dip and Chili Con Carne Dunk, which begins February 18. The Ebi Burger, a fan favorite from 2025 that opened up new ways to enjoy other cherished McDonald's foods, returns this year.

“The return of both the Cheese and Chili Con Carne Dunks is McDonald’s way of digging deeper into the Pinoy sawsawan culture, which inherently invites sharing and creativity. Filipino culture encourages participation and individual creation in the way we consume our food, and this is exactly how our customers enjoyed the Dunks last year when they created new flavors and combinations with other favorites from our menu. The Ebi Burger is another product we’ve been wanting to offer again and offering it alongside the two Dunks would make for exciting new flavor combinations that we’re sure our customers will explore.” ~Ada Almendras-Lazaro, McDonald’s Philippines’ Chief Marketing Officer

The two Dunks are both tasty and visually appealing. There's Cheese Dunk, a delicious and addictive cheese sauce. There's also the chile Con Carne Dunk, a savory sauce with rich, meaty tastes of chile, beef, and spices. Both excellently complement everyone's favorite cheeseburgers and other McDonald's dishes. 

The Ebi Burger is also returning this year, a timely offering from McDonald's during Lent. It's everyone's favorite crispy shrimp patty, now enhanced with thick, velvety cheese sauce for a creamy seafood pleasure.

McDonald’s Grand Reunion Brings People Back Together for the Holidays

For many Filipinos, Christmas is the most exciting time of year.  It's the time for long-awaited grand reunions, when family and friends finally gather together after months or even years away.  It's one of the most treasured traditions in the country.  However, not everyone has the opportunity to organize such events.  Some people spend the holidays apart from their families, missing out on the joys of being together.

This year, McDonald's Philippines intends to bridge that gap by offering free celebrations to certain groups.  Dubbed "Grand Reunion at McDo," this nationwide holiday effort will transform select McDonald's Party Rooms into festive locations for meaningful reunions taking place simultaneously across the country, restoring the warmth of the season to those who need it the most.

“By creating spaces where groups can once again gather meaningfully, McDonald’s taps directly into the Filipino cultural values of pagsasama-sama, pagsasalo-salo, and gratitude. It offers a simple yet heartfelt reminder that those who help make Christmas special for others deserve their own celebration too. In a season that can often feel overwhelming with crowded schedules, growing expenses, and emotional demands, Grand Reunion at McDo offers a refreshing alternative, a warm, uncomplicated, and inclusive holiday gathering that doesn’t require grand preparations.” ~Ada Lazaro, Chief Marketing Officer at McDonald's Philippines

How to be part of McDonalds’ Grand Reunion

Customers are encouraged to visit McDonald's Philippines' Facebook page and submit their story on the Grand Reunion post, including why they want to get together, what has kept them apart, and what makes their friendship worth celebrating.  McDonald's will accommodate groups of up to ten people on December 8 from 2-4pm, with two groups per party room for a total of 20 visitors.

Aside from a joyful and unique narrative, contestants will be chosen based on how their stories exemplify the spirit of community during the holiday season.  Participants may select their chosen McDonald's location.

Each party will receive boxes of Honey Butter Chicken McDo, enhanced with a "shake, tear, and sprinkle" event involving Garlic Parmesan and Snow Cheese Powder.  It's a simple ritual that transforms the meal into something to be enjoyed together. A McDonald's "Happiness Host" will also be there, not only to conduct light games or toasts, but also to help make the event feel more shared and unforgettable.

Reinforcing Filipino values

Lazaro added the initiative aims to reinforce Filipino values of bonding and connection during the Christmas season by offering a venue for meaningful reunions.

Back to Where It All Began: McDonald’s Celebrates 44 Years in the Philippines at Its First Store in Morayta

McDonald's Philippines is commemorating 44 years in the Philippines by placing a memorial marker at its historic first location on Morayta Street in Manila. 

Last October 28, McDonald's Philippines President and CEO Kenneth S. Yang, along with Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso, oversaw the ceremonial unveiling of the memorial honoring McDonald's Philippines Chairman and Founder Dr. George T. Yang.

Yang, Ronald McDonald, and Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso at the unveiling of the commemorative marker at McDonald’s Morayta, the first McDonald’s store in the country. 

McDonald's Morayta, located in the center of the country's University Belt, is a favorite with students, families, employees, and friends. The marker commemorates this historic business, which has hosted innumerable happy memories for generations of Filipinos.

As part of its ongoing commitment to giving back to the community it has served for more than four decades, McDonald's also hosted an exciting and heartwarming McDo Party for over 40 children from the Manila Child Development Center, allowing the brand to celebrate this milestone with the local community.

McDonald’s Morayta in 1981

McDonald’s Morayta today

The Morayta store opened in 1981, soon after Dr. Yang was granted the exclusive franchise to operate McDonald’s in the Philippines. 

“When I brought McDonald’s to the Philippines, I initially envisioned opening 10 branches. Forty-four years later, the Philippines now ranks as one of the top 10 McDonald’s markets in the world, and we have more than 800 stores across the country. This is why I consider it important to shine a spotlight on McDonald’s Morayta, where it all began. It is also our reminder to stay focused on our customers, so that each moment they spend in our stores will create lasting memories for years to come. McDonald’s Morayta also saw our very first batch of working students, many of whom were driven to gain substantial work experience while also pursuing their studies. Our commitment to supporting working students remains true today. I’m happy to say that 70 percent of our workforce are working students.” ~Dr. George T. Yang, McDonald's Philippines Chairman and Founder

Many significant milestones followed, including the 2005 acquisition of McDonald's Philippines by 100% Filipino owners.  Earlier this year, Dr. Yang received a new 20-year license to operate McDonald's in the country, signaling a strong vote of confidence in Dr. Yang and Kenneth Yang's leadership and governance.  The new-term license also came at a period of rapid expansion, with the firm opening and operating outlets in nearly every province in the country, bringing the McDonald's experience to every Filipino.

A closer look at the McDonald’s Morayta commemorative marker

“We continue to build on the exceptional McDonald’s experience that our customers have grown up with and continue to love. Because our operations are guided by our strong values and our passion for excellence, we are confident that our customers can enjoy the same great-tasting and high-quality food, and the same top-notch customer service in any of our 800-plus stores nationwide.” ~Kenneth Yang, McDonald’s Philippines President and CEO

McDonald's Philippines is the only quick service restaurant (QSR) that uses direct hiring, and the company continues to spend extensively in direct local employment and talent development.  Since 1981, McDonald's has embraced non-contractualization, ensuring job security and growth opportunities for its approximately 70,000 employees.  Each McDonald's employee, regardless of age, background, or gender, has the chance to further their careers through a world-class and holistic training and development curriculum that benefits them both within and outside of the company.  Just this year, McDonald's Philippines was selected Employer of the Year by the People Management Association of the Philippines, demonstrating the company's superior employment and talent development standards.

McDonald's Philippines is also committed to making a difference in local communities, not only by contributing to socioeconomic activity, but also through environmental and sustainability programs under the Green & Good platform, as well as programs that drive positive community impact through Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Chicken McDo Brings Everyone Closer at Every Table with the Heartwarming Invitation: ‘Chicken McDo Tayo!’

The simple word "Kain tayo" has a deeper meaning than its literal translation of "Let's eat." It is Filipinos' literal love language, an expression of warmth and inclusion—another way of saying, "You are welcome here."  You are a part of this." This sense of belonging is not restricted to relatives; it naturally extends to godparents, longstanding friends, trusted neighbors, and even coworkers who feel like family.

As Filipino food writer Doreen Fernandez once noted, “To invite someone to eat is to extend not just food, but yourself—your home, your life, your very sense of kinship.” It’s a tradition that turns every meal into an act of connection.

McDonald's is currently celebrating the spirit of unity with its Much Malaki, Much Pinasarap Chicken McDo.  It's huge, crispy, and juicy, making it ideal for sharing with friends and family, whether for a quiet weeknight supper, a bustling Sunday brunch, or a surprise visit from a friend.

“Every meal is an opportunity to bring people closer. Filipinos know that food is best enjoyed when shared, because it’s never just about the flavors on the plate. It’s about the togetherness and the memories made in between bites. With Chicken McDo, every table becomes a space where everyone is welcome, seen, and valued, and where a simple meal stays with you even after the last bite.” ~Ada Lazaro, McDonald’s Philippines Chief Marketing Officer

Chicken McDo transforms everyday dining into social experiences full of comfort, humor, and connection.  Whether you eat in, take out, or have it delivered, each serving conveys the same message as "Kain tayo": you belong here.

Now, McDonald’s invites everyone to share that message in the most delicious way possible -- “Chicken McDo tayo!”

SB19 SAYS "Atin To?" for McDonald's Chicken McDo

The much malaki, much juicier, much crispier, and much sulit Chicken McDo is becoming increasingly popular among Filipinos! SB19, the P-Pop phenomenon, has now joined the cause and declared, "Atin 'to!for the improved and upgraded Chicken McDo that has a mouthwatering flavor.

The quick service restaurant's newest endorsers are superstars-to-be: SB19 members Pablo (John Paulo Nase), Ken (Felip Jhon Suson), Stell (Stellvester Ajero), Josh (Josh Cullen Santos), and Justin (Justin De Dios). This announcement marks the beginning of an exciting partnership.

Being the first act from the Philippines and Southeast Asia to receive a nomination in the Billboard Music Awards' Top Social Artist category, SB19 made a name for themselves. They now emulate the unkaboggable Vice Ganda, who assisted McDonald's in the highly successful relaunch of Chicken McDo last year. More recently, Chicken McDo—which went viral for its enormous, "dinosaur-size" portions—was the subject of a musical extravaganza featuring Marian Rivera, the Kapuso royalty, and Dingdong Dantes.

“We’re ecstatic to welcome SB19 to the McDonald’s Philippines family. To have this supergroup join us in showing love for our much bigger, much juicier, much crispier and much sulit Chicken McDo is very exciting. It’s a great collaboration, and we look forward to working with SB19 in delivering more feel-good moments to our customers all over the country. Definitely, there’s much more to look forward to in this campaign.” ~Adi Timbol-Hernandez, McDonald’s Philippines’ Assistant Vice President for Corporate Relations and Impact

A few days prior to the announcement, McDonald's Philippines teased their next endorser on social media, teasing a new “Ninang.” A'tin, the devoted followers of SB19, surmised right away that it was the impending endorsement. Soon after, the band's love for Chicken McDo was showcased in an exclusive video for A'tin. The video encouraged the band's fans to try the song and adopt it as their own.

The star of the show is McDonald's one-piece Chicken McDo Sulit Busog Meal, available in all McDonald's restaurants nationwide for just Php99 and including rice and a drink. SB19 fans will undoubtedly have something to look forward to when their favorite band joins the thousands of people who have discovered the new and improved Chicken McDo.
