Elevating Filipino Gastronomy

At its core, Delish Philippines carries one vision: to become the global voice and premier showcase of Filipino gastronomy—elevating local flavors and inspiring a deeper appreciation for Filipino culture worldwide. “Delish Philippines is a celebration of who we are and how we share our identity with the world. In this new platform, we’re not just telling food stories—we’re telling the Filipino story through food,” shared Archie G. Carrasco, chairman and CEO of AGC Power Holdings Corp.

The brand’s launch marks a pivotal moment, coinciding with Filipino cuisine’s growth of unprecedented international recognition. Across continents, the food media industry continues to evolve, with audiences seeking authenticity and experience-driven storytelling. Southeast Asia remains one of the fastest-growing regions in culinary tourism, while Filipino flavors are gaining momentum in cities like New York, London, and Sydney. This growing presence—alongside Filipino chefs being recognized in the James Beard Awards and the Michelin Guide—signals a global appetite for the Philippines’ rich culinary identity.

Celebrating Culture and Dishes

“Delish Philippines is where heritage meets innovation,” reflected Rodolfo (Randolf) Palanca Jr., publisher of Delish Philippines. “The brand is positioned to be the premier platform to elevate and celebrate the country’s rich gastronomic heritage and the layered beauty of Filipino cuisine, while placing it in dynamic conversation with the rest of the culinary world.”

Kim St. Clair Bodden, SVP and Global Editorial & Brand Director of Hearst Magazines International, added, “It’s the perfect time to welcome Delish Philippines to the table and celebrate the vibrant culture and delicious dishes in an easy and approachable way.”

The launch marks the first partnership between One Mega Group, Inc. (OMGI) and Hearst Magazines International—signifying OMGI’s bold entry into the culinary media landscape. Through Delish Philippines, OMGI expands its lifestyle media portfolio, bringing captivating Filipino flavors to the forefront with both regional depth and global perspective.
