Dinner in Honor of Howard Schultz

By | Foodie, What's New at Starbucks? | 4 Comments

To end the day, a dinner was hosted by Lolo Benny in honor of Howard Schultz.  It was just family and the Starbucks Managers.  After dinner was a beautiful presentation by El Gamma Penumbra – the only Shadow Dancing company in the Philippines! What an amazing performance – Heart2Heart is proud to be PINOY! A MUST SEE VIDEO!!!  They had another performance which was Gangnam – though I preferred this first one

Starbucks Philippines In the Community

By | Giving Back, What's New at Starbucks? | One Comment

Fifteen years of Starbucks in the Philippines and fifteen years of giving back and giving back to the community.  Take time out to watch all the videos.  Thank you Starbucks for touching everyone’s lives

“Since 1998, we’ve made accessible early childhood education, scholarships through sport and art for development programs, social and agriculture-based entrepreneurship programs, coffee quality training and environment education classes to thousands of children in public schools, children out of school and aging Filipino coffee farmers.

While we’ve grown in number of stores, we’ve also grown in the number of non profit organizations we support – expanding not just the scope of our social responsibility but extending in depth and scale our compassion for the members of our community who work tirelessly against the incidence of poverty.

Few are as grateful to see us endure beyond 15 years as the men, women and many many Filipino children who receive our generosity as we share our success as a business with them.

They would like to thank us now by showing us how we’ve helped them lead lives of dignity and opportunity.”

Celebrating Starbucks 200 stores and 15 Years in the Philippines with Howard Schultz

By | Celebrations, What's New at Starbucks? | 9 Comments

We have all been looking forward to this day – for Howard Schultz to come and visit our country.  To all of us, Howard symbolizes not only Starbucks, the great coffee company, but LOVE and HUMANITY which he explains so well in his speech during the opening of the 200th store.  I could listen to this over and over again and get inspired.   I am merely the daughter of Jun and Menchu yet the overflowing love within the Starbucks organization is reaching me and reaching everyone that steps in a Starbucks store.  This is only a 4 minute speech but it is very beautiful and has a very meaningful message from Howard!  These kinds of words can only come from the heart
