What an unforgettable weekend it has been! 🎉 Taste of the Philippines 2025 has officially come to a close, and we are beyond humbled, grateful, and overjoyed at the overwhelming love and support we received from the community.

🙌
On top of that, our partners at Costco Wholesale hit their own record-breaking milestone for membership sign-ups right here at TOTP 2025! 🎉
🍴 With 24+ food vendors, 6 food trucks, and 11+ non-food vendors, plus so many bands, cultural performers, dance groups, DJs, and singers lighting up the stage, this was truly a festival for the senses. 🎶🥁🌺 From morning to night, every corner of Victoria Square Mall was alive with Filipino flavors, sounds, and spirit.
