A Fruity Twist on a Beloved Dunkin' Classic

Living in the tropics means we have classic go-to fruits for every season. What’s even better is that we can enjoy them year-round, come rain or come shine. Looking for specialty fruits per region is also an exciting adventure, because the Philippines seems to have as many fruits as it does regions.

Year-round fruits are a constant delight, and in this area, the banana leads the pack. Whether you like the Lakatan, Saba, or Señorita, it is great as is ripe, or sugared with ice and milk. Legend has it that the first banana tree grew somewhere in Mindanao, and came from the heart of a young maiden who refused to marry someone she did not love.

Speaking of hearts, the reigning queen of these fruits is the strawberry, which grows in abundance up north, primarily in Baguio. Enjoyed as is or as a perfect complement to cream, strawberries are a popular dessert for romantic occasions.

How to enjoy these two fruits coming from either end of the Philippines? By biting into the new Strawberry-Banana variant of Dunkin’ Donuts. Combining the smooth creaminess of yellow bananas and the luscious burst of red strawberries, this flavor is sure to delight the senses, without having to travel north and south for your fix.

Joining the strawberry up north is the lemon, which, although native to Asia, was transplanted to the Philippines through the Europeans. Available in summer in high altitude areas such as Tagaytay and Benguet, these yellow wonders are becoming fast staples in local dishes. To enjoy its full glory without the accompanying tartness, get a Lemon Dunkin’ Donuts fruity donut instead. It contains all the tangy goodness without the sharp bite.

But for the king of Philippine fruits, there are two that vie for the crown. Most obvious is the durian, considered the king of fruits in Asia. With a distinctive taste to match its smell, it is an acquired taste that many have come to know and love. But perhaps it is the ubiquitous mango, available everywhere, but most sweet in Zambales, Pangasinan, and Guimaras that takes the crown, it being the national fruit. So why not enjoy the two in an amazing combo of a Mango-Durian donut?

All varieties of the Dunkin’ Donuts Fruity Donuts, namely, Banana-Strawberry, Lemon, and Mango-Durian, are available for only P20. Now it’s easy for you to enjoy your favorite fruits regardless of the season, and your location, at your favorite Dunkin’ Donut branch.

Dunkin’ Donuts Philippines gives back with blood donations

In 1981, Golden Donuts Inc. was founded as the exclusive licensee in the Philippines of the world’s most famous coffee and donut chain, Dunkin’ Donuts. For 32 years, Dunkin’ Donuts continued to serve Filipinos with mouthwatering donuts, freshly brewed coffee, and savory sandwiches that have become part of the Filipino’s everyday life.

As part of its advocacy to give back to the community that supported it all these years, Dunkin’ Donuts Philippines celebrated its anniversary with its eighth annual blood drive in partnership with the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC).

Themed “Dugong Alay, Dugtong ng Buhay,” the blood-letting aims to help those who are in need of blood transfusion by holding an open blood donation with PNRC .

“Blood donation is close to our heart, because it is critical in sustaining the greatest gift we can give – life. While donating goods and other services are now easier than ever, nowadays, it’s still hard to find a blood donor, especially in an emergency,” said Vingie Valenzuela, Personnel Resource Manager of Golden Donuts Inc.

Employees and executives were joined by Ms. Rosa Rosal, PNRC governor and chairperson of the Red Cross blood program, as well as Dunkin’ Donuts’ brand ambassador, Derek Ramsay. Ramsay helped to keep up the spirits of all the donors.

According to Valenzuela, “We are always excited by the turnout, and we have an average of 500 persons participating every year. Since we partner with PNRC, we adhere to the highest standards of health to ensure quality blood donations. And of course, to ensure that all donors are well after each donation, we have free-flowing Dunkin’ Donuts for everyone to enjoy.”

“This is our way of saying thank you to our customers who have stayed loyal with us all these years, and we look forward to giving more in the years to come.”
