The birthplace of the Philippines’ Grill Expert, Mang Inasal Robinsons Place Iloilo, has officially reopened—refreshed, reimagined, and ready for the future.

On Sunday, August 31, 2025, Mang Inasal celebrated the blessing and digital relaunch of its very first branch, originally opened in 2003, ahead of its grand reopening on September 1. The milestone event was led by Mang Inasal President Mike V. Castro, brand ambassador Coco Martin, and Iloilo City Vice Mayor Love Baronda, underscoring both the brand’s commitment to innovation and its deep cultural roots.

From a single store in Iloilo founded by Edgar “Injap” Sia II, Mang Inasal has grown into one of the country’s most successful homegrown brands. Further strengthened by the Jollibee Group, it has become beloved for its signature Chicken Inasal, Unli-Rice offering, and iconic Ihaw-Sarap (deliciously grilled) dining experience. With over 570 branches nationwide and millions of customers served, Mang Inasal stands as both a Filipino food staple and a symbol of homegrown entrepreneurial success.

Further cementing its industry leadership, Mang Inasal stands tall as the Strongest Restaurant Brand in the Philippines, according to brand valuation agency Brand Finance. This recognition affirms its stature as a true national icon in the quick-service restaurant industry and its enduring connection with Filipino consumers across generations.

“This store represents the heart and soul of Mang Inasal,” said Castro. “From our first grilled chicken to the millions served today, we remain deeply grateful to Iloilo and every customer from around the world who made this journey possible. This reopening is a tribute to our beginnings and a bold step toward the future.”

A key highlight of the reopening is the introduction of Mang Inasal’s 5G (fifth generation) store design, a future-ready concept that reflects the brand’s bold commitment to innovation. The 5G store features a more efficient kitchen layout, upgraded Takeout Express, the brand’s first ever Cashless Express Kiosk, and the new Mang Inasal Heritage Wall, honoring the brand’s Iloilo roots while embracing smarter technology, streamlined service, and digital convenience.

“This 5G store design is our way of making every Mang Inasal experience faster, smarter, and more delightful for our customers,” added Castro. “We’re excited for more consumers to see and feel this transformation as we roll out similar future-ready stores in the coming months.”

The reopening celebration also featured the unveiling of the Heritage Wall, a Dinagyang-inspired performance, and a heartfelt number by the Don Bosco Boys Home Choir, symbolizing the brand’s community ties and hopeful future.

As Mang Inasal returns to where it all began, it renews its promise to bring Unli-Saya (unlimited fun) experiences to more diners, whether through dine-in, takeout, drive-thru, or delivery.

From its humble beginnings in Iloilo to its rise as a household name nationwide, Mang Inasal continues to serve more than just great grilled meals. It serves as a story of Filipino pride, bold innovation, and the flavorful journey of a homegrown brand that has become a true national icon.

As the world becomes more and more digitally borderless, helping children retain and learn in their native languages safeguards the Philippines’ rich linguistic heritage and makes education more accessible, meaningful, and culturally rooted for future generations.

At the same time, it helps preserve our local languages so that the next generation can continue to value and celebrate their heritage. These apps are among the many learning tools we’ve developed with our partners to make education more inclusive and impactful for the communities we serve,” said Stephanie Orlino, Stakeholder Engagement Head, PLDT and Smart.

Designed to promote literacy and numeracy in mother tongues, the mobile applications also aim to preserve local heritage while making learning more accessible for younger generations.

ADZU Grade School Principal Ellen Segurigan expressed heartfelt gratitude to PLDT and Smart for bringing these innovative learning tools to the community. “Today, we celebrate more than the launch of two mobile applications; we celebrate the preservation, appreciation, and joyful learning of our local languages. With these apps, students will not only gain knowledge but also discover the richness of our heritage, enjoy the beauty of our words, and connect with one another in meaningful ways,” said Segurigan.

The “Apprende” and “Hinduan” literacy applications complete a set of 13 mobile applications developed by PLDT and Smart with various partners as part of their long-standing commitment to advancing education and promoting digital inclusion.

This initiative also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education, as it fosters inclusive, equitable, and quality learning opportunities for all.

As someone who has gone through many transformations, from being a teacher, to working hard in the medical field, and crossing over to joining International beauty pageants, Karen spoke about how she always remained grounded in authenticity — never losing sight of who she truly is. Living purposefully has always been her compass, striving to grow and be better not just for herself, but to inspire others to do the same. Her story mirrors Eye Mo’s evolution: a fresh, modern look that reflects the times, while staying true to its core promise of care and trust.
