Today is more than just being part of an event. It is a reminder of how far a dream can go when people believe in it.
Our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Arlen Anglacer Dela Cruz DA-PhilRice for recommending us and opening a door that allowed our humble hometown brand to be seen on a bigger stage. Your trust means so much.
To Ms. Badjie, Ms. Tin, Chef Reggie Aspiras , CCA Manila and the Philippine Heritage Kitchen Group — thank you for giving us this opportunity, for welcoming us, and for truly believing in what we can bring to the table. It is an honor to be part of KAKANIN KAIN! and to stand alongside people and organizations who share the same passion for preserving, celebrating, and elevating Filipino food and heritage.
To our team — this is for you. Every early morning, every long day in the kitchen, every tray prepared by hand, and every sacrifice behind the scenes brought us here. This achievement belongs to all of us.
And to the friends who have supported us silently — those who believed in our ideas, creativity, and even the dreams that sometimes seemed too ambitious — thank you. We carry your support in moments like this.
Most importantly, to our hometown, San Jose City, and our beloved province of Nueva Ecija — we are incredibly proud to represent you. 🌾
We came to Makati carrying more than kakanin. We brought our story, our heritage, our people, and a piece of home.
From a family kitchen in San Jose City to a bigger stage — we will continue creating, growing, and proudly sharing what a Novo Ecijano can bring to the table.
This one is for San Jose City.
This one is for Nueva Ecija. 🤎🌾
With a grateful heart,
San Vicente’s Homemade Kakanin — Since 1985
