Beauty Queen-Actress Kylie Versoza Is the 2023 Tanduay Calendar Girl

“Kylie is a multifaceted talent whose appeal comes from her beauty and brains as well as the strength of her advocacies. She is the perfect embodiment of the brand for 2023 as we seek to engage with varied customer profiles in different markets while continuing to serve our customers in the Philippines. The images came out really well, and we can’t wait to unveil them to the public.” ~Marc Ngo, International Business Development Manager and Senior Brand Manager for Tanduay Distillers, Inc.

To embody its successes and potential for 2023, the brand has chosen beauty queen-turned actress Kylie Verzosa as its newest Calendar Girl.

Verzosa represented and won for the Philippines the 2016 Miss International crown. She has endorsed many products and have graced various magazine covers. Most recently, she showed her mettle in acting in the Philippine adaptation of the Korean thriller, The Housemaid. Her portrayal won her an Actress of the Year award from the Distinctive International Arab Festivals Awards (DIAFA) in Dubai.

The beauty queen-actress is also a mental health advocate. She established Mental Health Matters, a nonprofit organization that started out as an online support group.

Like Verzosa, Tanduay has received awards and distinctions from different international award-giving bodies, the most notable of which is the World’s Number 1 Rum recognition from Drinks International magazine for five consecutive years. Likewise, it has been named the Brand of the Year under the rum category of the London-based World Branding Awards for seven consecutive years.

It feels great to be in their company. Tanduay has  been delighting customers for more than a century now. It has both been in the home arenas of the biggest teams in the National Basketball Association and in small-scale retail stores in areas outside of Metro Manila. You can see that whoever the brand serving, it makes sure that the person is enjoying the Tanduay experience. This is why it continues to be popular and relevant despite the entry of new brands. It’s great to see a homegrown Filipino brand competing in the world stage.” ~Kylie Verzosa, Tanduay newest Calendar Girl 2023, Beauty queen-turned actress

Ngo shared that Verzosa worked with topnotch editorial and commercial photographer BJ Pascual for the project.

Mang Inasal supports farmer livelihood initiative

“Every Chicken Inasal order contributes to the livelihood of smallholder farmers under the Farmer Entrepreneurship Program (FEP) of the Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF). This is because FEP farmers supply fresh ginger, one of many natural ingredients used to make the marinade of our famous Chicken Inasal. There are many barriers that our farmers face today in getting their crops to markets and suppliers. By purchasing directly from farmers, Mang Inasal is able to support our farmers and uplift them, so they have more opportunities to earn and become entrepreneurs themselves.” ~Mike V. Castro, Mang Inasal Business Unit Head

Have you ever thought about the ingredients being used to get that savory, juicy, and deliciously char-grilled Chicken Inasal? Where does Mang Inasal even get it?

FEP is a multi-awarded initiative that enables and empowers smallholder farmers with leadership skills, and systems needed to collectively market their produce to institutional buyers like Mang Inasal, resulting in increased and sustained income.

The group supplying ginger to Mang Inasal is the AGAP Farmers’ Association. It has 37 ginger farmers from three clusters who used to sell their vegetables on their own and struggled to find a stable market. 

With JGF and its partner Ahon sa Hirap Inc. (ASHI), farmers from Laguna and Rizal learned to work together as clusters and produce ginger that adheres to the quality standards set by an institutional market like Mang Inasal. 

In 2021, their first year as Mang Inasal suppliers, the farmers delivered 22% of the company’s requirements for the year. 

“Noong una, malaking hamon sa amin ang magdeliver sa malaking market kasi maraming training at kulang kami sa experience. Sa tulong ng Jollibee Group Foundation at ASHI, nagkaroon kami ng guide at ngayon ay natupad na ang pangarap namin namakapag-deliver sa Mang Inasal (At first, it was a big challenge for us to deliver to a big market as we needed training and welacked experience. Through Jollibee Group Foundation and ASHI, we received guidance and achieved our dream of delivering to Mang Inasal).” ~Vicente Bojawe, 58, one of the farmers under AGAP

 he shared. Vicente’s increased earnings helped him build his house and invest more in his farm. 

So next time you find yourself craving for a hearty, “Ihaw-Sarap” meal, don’t hesitate to visit your nearest Mang Inasal branch and order the Chicken Inasal meal.

Continue to support our farmers by ordering Mang Inasal’s Chicken Inasal meal via dine-in, takeout, or delivery via the Mang Inasal Delivery App, http://manginasaldelivery.com.ph/, GrabFood, and foodpanda.
