85% of Filipinos crave more plant-based foods
Manila Bulletin
|July 20 2025
A large majority of Filipino consumers are shifting towards healthier and more sustainable food options, hiking the demand for plant-based offerings among food establishments, according to Tokyo-based GMO Research.
In a nationwide consumer survey, GMO Research found that 85 percent of respondents would prefer food establishments such as restaurants, hotels, and retailers to serve more plant-based foods.
Further, 80 percent said they are more likely to patronize these food businesses if they set policy goals to increase the plant-based offerings they serve.
The survey, which randomly polled over 200 respondents from across the country, found that there is a growing awareness among consumers of the benefits of plant-based foods compared to conventional animal-based goods.

Check your walls; disaster preparedness starts at home
The magnitude 6.9 earthquake that rattled Cebu-its tremors felt in Negros, Iloilo, and beyond-is another stark reminder that disaster preparedness is nonnegotiable. Many believe that it is the government's job. True-but it is also, fundamentally, our personal responsibility. And it should start long before a disaster strikes (and not end with a go bag).
