Mrs. Garcia’s Meatshop Now Has Its First Community Store in QC


Fresh Meats, Loving Treats, now made more accessible for customers and future franchisees


Every delicious Filipino dish has traditionally had meat as a key ingredient. Filipinos have embraced the practice of offering warm affection and fantastic food to gather around and reconnect with friends and loved ones, whether for ordinary food on the table or fiestas, celebrations, and holidays.

In keeping with this history, Mrs. Garcia's Meats has been winning over consumers who expect fresh, affordable, safe, and high-quality meat products, as well as excellent service for more than 25 years.

From opening new outlets in major supermarkets and making itself accessible round-the-clock to convenience stores, such as Shell Select and 7-Eleven, Mrs. Garcia's Meats is delighted to share tender news with its clients as it carries on with its legacy.

 I keeping with this, here is what Bernadette Lee, Mrs. Garcia’s Meats Chief Operating Officer, has to say...

“Every home has grown to love Mrs. Garcia’s Meats as their companion in making every mealtime special. So, we are excited to announce that we finally opened the first-ever Mrs. Garcia’s Meatshop this October 11, 2022, allowing more families to enjoy that extra special dining experience at home. As we open our new Community Store, located at Platinum Business Center, #188 Congressional Ave., Quezon City, we are eager to provide fresh, affordable, safe, and high-quality meat products to all Filipinos.” 

This was announced at the recently concluded media event held at the Meat Depot in Magallanes.


The store will serve a variety of Premium Pork, Beef, Korean, and Japanese Cuts, including Short Ribs, Sirloin, Lean Ground Pork, Liempo, and Porkchop, as well as Japanese Shabu-Shabu, Beef Yakiniku, Beef Woo Samgyeop, Korean Pork Steak Bulgogi, and Pork Samgyeopsal.

All customers can also order in advance before picking up their items in Mrs. Garcia’s Meatshop through its Pick-A-Meat Express. This service offering allows customers to order via phone call before picking up the items. All they need to do is to drop by the parking space in front of the store, where friendly staff members are ready to hand them the meat products or help load the items directly into their car. 

Meanwhile, as a way of marking this milestone, Mrs. Garcia’s Meatshop will now be open for franchising to provide Filipinos with business and investment options.

“The last few years have seen tremendous growth for Mrs. Garcia’s Meats. In many supermarket chains and eateries, people have come to trust our brand. As the core of MEATWORLD International Inc., Mrs. Garcia’s Meats has also hired a rising 1,500 butchers and merchandisers. By providing a franchise option to our customers, mom-preneurs, and every Filipino looking for business prospects, we hope to spread the word about these success stories,” Lee added.

Mrs. Garcia’s Meats by MEATWORLD International, Inc. was founded in 1996. Since then, it has been helping ensure that fresh, affordable, safe, and high-quality meat products are available for every family and their recipes as it offers a wide choice of meat categories and cuts.

The LG PuriCare AeroTower - Experience Nature's Pure Breeze Inside Your Home


As a Filipino, I grew up having an electric fan around, it has been one of the most common fixtures you’ll see in every home.  Having lived in a tropical country, that's hot and humid,  an electric fan in every room is a common sighting, 

And over the past few years, the need for access to clean air has sprung up. Not just because of COVID, but with air pollution,  household dust and pet hair and dander as well, hence the need for an added home appliance had been a must - the air purifier. 

LG seeks to solve this problem with the introduction of the AeroTower, which leverages the South Korean brand’s PuriCare technology and combines it with a cooling fan. In a recently concluded event at Living Innovations in BGC hosted by socialite and interior designer, Ms. Tessa Prieto, LG gave the first glimpse and a hands-on product demo of the AeroTower to select members of the media, including yours truly.

Sungjae Kim, LG PH’s managing director, was elated with the introduction of the new product to the local market. “This is a new favorite, as I feel that it captures the essence of the brand. It provides the perfect blend of form and function. It’s sleek, stylish, and can hold its own among any artwork in any room. At the same time, it provides pure, clean air and cools you off according to your specific needs. What’s not to love?”


LG Product Manager, Jave Enriquez highlighted the features and aesthetically pleasing design of the new AeroTower. Inspired by the Red Canyon, it is part appliance and part work of art, adding elegance to any space in your home or work. It gives three different airflows that fits to your liking. There are 10 speed settings and virtually quieter than a library for only 23 decibels. It also tells you the air quality so you can breathe cool and pure, clean air.

LG brought in influencers from all walks of life to share their thoughts on how the AeroTower is a direct upgrade to their home or work setup. Architect and beauty queen, Shamcey Supsup-Lee, gushed how the AeroTower perfectly blends form and function. “Even if the AeroTower was just a fan or just an air-purifier, it can hold its own with any designer furniture or artwork on display. The mere fact that it works as both is astounding.” LG brought in Dr. Jansen Calalan, a lifestyle medicine specialist, who talked about the importance of clean air. “Having access to clean air lowers the risk of respiratory issues and heart disease, improves cognitive health, and of course, makes you happier overall.” Actress and new mom Sofia Andres shared how LG’s multi filtration technology helps her feel safe as well. “The multi-filtration technology gives me assurance and peace of mind, that even with the comings and goings of my babies, both human and canine/feline, the whole family is safe.”

Mr. Changsoo Jang, LG Air Solutions Product Director says, “This product is the culmination of years of research and development with the end goal of making life better for every customer. The AeroTower, as well as this event itself, is just the first step towards the future. Together, we take each step forward together.” 

Before I end the event story, let me share you my IG post where I get to experience the Aero tower myself  when it came to our home.
