In 2006, Ninong Noey gave Jaime, his hijado, Starbucks shares as a graduation gift
At that time, Starbucks share price was US$ 36.70
And today, the share price is $60.00. What a great gift that grows in years to come and what a nice way to teach a child about investment and to make them know how it feels like to own shares of a company at an early age.

Congratulations to Starbucks Philippines on another great milestone! Count on Starbucks to do business in ways that are good to the earth!
Last April 23 was the formal blessing of the newly installed solar panels at St. Charbel store in Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City. This is the second drive thru store in the country.
The Transnational Uyeno Solar Corporation hosted the blessing represented by Rashid and Zaki Delgado
The two young and very intelligent Harvard graduates that remind me so much of their father, Tito Rob
Rashid is based in Singapore and handles Shipping and Solar ( Transnational Uyeno Solar ) for the TGD group. This is a great milestone as well for their company since it is their first Solar installation in the country. Hoping that many more others will follow suit and help save the earth
Proud mothers watching their sons talk 🙂
My brother, Noey Lopez, Chief Operating Officer of Rustan Coffee Corporation, explained that Starbucks has 3 Pillars – Community, Ethical Sourcing and Environment. He is thankful to the Store development team headed by my Mom, Menchu Tantoco Lopez and my brother, Quito T. Lopez who are daring to embark on projects such as these and pioneer worthwhile investments at the same time save our earth
Congratulations Transnational Yueno Solar Corp and Rustan Coffee Corporation and thank you for SAVING THE EARTH!
Joining the celebration is Tita Helen who cut the ribbon with Menchu Lopez and Rashid Delgado
Of course, the President of Rustan Coffee Corp, Eduardo Lopez Jr. ( my dad ) was there too to turn on the switches for the Solar panels with Rashid
It was time to go up and bless the solar panels on the roof. Father went up first with this lifter
On the other side of the building was Tita Helen, Dad and Mom taking a peek as well at the roof
What a beautiful installation!
After the blessing, there is a signing of another contract – the first home installation of solar panels!!
Contact Jen if you are interested in saving the earth too ! 🙂

I have been noticing Howard during his full day visit to the Philippines and I could really see how genuinely happy he was whenever he was with the Starbucks partners. As my brother, Noey, said – Howard only requested for one thing and it was to spend time with as many partners as he could.
The afternoon was spent with Howard and with 600 Starbucks partners. During dinner he expressed his thoughts on the afternoon activities – it seems like it was worth his trip to come over 🙂

It was a beautiful and touching event!! Again I am blessed to have been a spectator in the event and to be able to witness all of these. Thank you to my brother, Noey and to Starbucks for allowing me to share this here at Heart2Heart! The first video is sort of raw so it is not complete and the beginning was a rehearsal, so please continue to watch and listen to the Coffee Ambassadors when they speak then continue to watch the second video

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

First time to have a filipino dinner prepared by Kai and it was very well done!! Thank you Chef Gilbert Pangilinan! I lost some photos so this is a mixture of photos from my cousins, Catherine and Marie and from Tita Tess. Missing photo of the soup and the cornish hen adobo
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.”

Mom made sure that she finished this store for Howard’s visit. After all, it was fifteen years ago when this first store was built and it was also fifteen years ago when Howard Schultz was last here in the Philippines. It’s a beautiful store because it is uniquely Filipino
Love this chalkboard!!!
207 stores and counting!!
