I've never seen this thread before, it's very interesting. I don't see why Jollibee food chain can't expand it's business out in the west from North America to the European Union countries. The main thing they have to give in consideration would be if they are really targetting the world market, they should have something that other fast food chain doesn't offer, maybe on their local branches on each countries they were able to open a chain, they needed to redesign their menu or ingredients, it has to be patterned in that particular countrie's culture and hit their local taste buds but I guess they can offer the more authentic Philippine jollibee dishes along side with their new ideas. I believe when I tried McDonalds there in the Philippines it was some what Philippinized but they still kept it's same menu or products, some of them have different names as those you can find in the State side Mckkie-D's. The same thing happened to me in France and UK, the McDonnald's and Burger King there were "UK-ized" and "Frenchized" so to speak. If Jollibee has a real good marketing strategies and their products are very competitive, I don't see why they can't penetrate the world market. It's a bit ambitious but it's doable who knows they can land in rated number 2 best world food chain, although it's not so bad to aim for number one.... Thanks all !!!

Tropical hut is still there but could not be found on every new malls opened. But they are expanding, some outlets now include a mini supermarket.

Cueshé takes a bold step into the capital and spills out their guts in a rock and roll?kinda way.

This band of 6 adventurous young men have managed to break into the mainstream music scene and maneuvered their way into the capital from their hometown Cebu, betting no less than their lives on this dream.

This dream is now their debut album christened Half Empty, Half Full, and is released under Sony-BMG Music Entertainment. Featuring 11 original tracks, these songs are stories culled from their lives experiences. Its themes interplay melancholy, introspection and transcendence. Perhaps one may find comfort in their songwriting, as it is personal, deep and honest. Their sound is masculine and aggressive, rooted on their rock and alternative influences. It owns up to its pain and angst yet it holds its head high and does not succumb to melodrama. At times it is playful, yet mature like boys trying to be men, or men, who will always, be boys.

It was in Mach 2005 when the band took a leap of faith and moved to Manila to jumpstart a fulltime music career. With nothing more than a demo at hand they proceeded to strike a deal with BMG Records Pilipinas who rushed them to the studio just days from their arrival. And two months after that, they hear their 1st single, Stay, pounding the airwaves.

One may be lead to believe that lady luck had so much to do for these guys, but the band traces its roots back to five years ago when the group 1st got together. We've been through a lot?they say dismissing their story as clich?and prosaic.

And like their name, which seems to be odd, they tell us: Cueshe?(pronounced as Q-shay) comes from the banana cue. We thought of it as a novel idea to come up with a band name from such an ordinary snack food. We used to eat a lot of that after band rehearsals when we stared.?They reveal. They blow their cover on the name, which to some sounded slick and classy.

Cueshe is composed of Jay Justiniani on vocals, Ruben Caballero on vocals and guitar, Jovan Mabini on lead guitar, Jhunjie Dosdos on keyboards, and song writers Fritz Labrado on bass and Mike Manaloto, drums.

I'll be heading to Cebu next month. What are the hottest clubs to visit there today?

Anyway, my top 5 rankings based on readings and previous visits ( Boracay by the way is not a city):

1. Cebu
2: Davao
3: Cagayan de Oro
4: Bacolod
5: Iloilo

***Sinjin P.*** · July 25th, 2005, 08:35 AM

CEBU CITY would be the most ideal ENTERTAINMENT and LEISURE destination in the PHILIPPINES OUTBILLING MANILA! Why?

Reasons:::
1.

Cebu is home to all cheap yet clean and good quality bars such as Rica's Sport Cafe or the Cue.

2. Cebu is home to the biggest Nightclubs like Lone Star, Silver Dollar, Firehouse, St. Moritz Bar or Papillion as they provide entertainment for the lonely...

3. If you're looking for fine dining, you'll find Cafe Havana, StarBucks, Table7, Don Henricos, Roma Mia, Gerry's Grill and Cafe Adriatico at Ayala Center Cebu

4. The world class bars, discos and entertainment centers are found here...
a. AYALA CENTER CEBU boasts of:
::Tequila Joe's
::Brix
::Mi Vida
::Ratsky
::Cafe Wien
::E.G.G.

b. SM CITY CEBU boasts of:
::HALO Bar and Restaurant

c. CROSSROADS MALL boasts of:
::The VUDU BAR, the classiest world-class bar in Cebu
::plus more than 10 other pubs and bars

d. THE VILLAGE boasts of:
::The Discos Jukebox
::H2O
::Fuel
::Below Zero
::plus more than 10 other pubs and bars

e. STANDALONE BARS such as:
::Slabadu
::Sinners and Saints
::Camp Z
::Nasa
::Lami-ahh
::Cadillac Cafe
::Sunflower City
::plus many more

f. ENTERTAINMENT NEAR THE BEACH::
::The BayWalk (Ibo, Lapu-lapu City)
::Lami-ahh
::Anton's
::Isla Vida
::Hardrock Cafe

g. SOON TO OPEN NIGHTLIFE SPOTS
::Soon! Cebu Boardwalk
::Soon! Ayala SouthMall Cebu (SRP)

h.PLUS MANY MORE UNMENTIONED BARS

5. But the most anticipated reason is THE PEOPLE and how they JIVE, GROOVE and PARTICIPATE with the BEAT..No crowd in MANILA can be compared to CEBU's CROWD...

Come here and check it out

The spaghetti in Tropical Hut makes Jollibee's inferior. I remember there was one where Greenbelt 4 and the Ayala Museum is now. I think there's still on in Buendia, near MMC and where Mercury Drug is.

thewreckoning88 · July 25th, 2005, 09:30 AM

is there any chance that jollibee will come to australia theres about 300 thousand or more

deheni · July 25th, 2005, 09:42 AM

Love Jollibee especially there Anjus Burger. Here in San Diego they have 3 outlets and mostly patronize by large Filipinos community. Occasionally there will be some gringos at lost what they want to order. Most of my gringo/a friends are kind of puzzled why our spaghetti is sweet, has cut up hot dog pieces and cheddar cheese on top. I just basically tell them to shut up and eat it, hehehe most of them end up liking it at least that what they tell me. :-)

tigidig14 · July 25th, 2005, 10:49 AM

well, im damn lazy right now to luk upon, but how many jollibee in the whole pnas, or lets say the whole manila because it seems like theres one per person theyre overly scatterd

in_com000 · July 25th, 2005, 06:31 PM

1 and 2... either CEBU OR DAVAO(close fight)

3 and 4... either Bacolod or cdo(nochoice)

5 and 6... olongapo OR gensan(again no choice)

opinion:
CEBU- philippines strongest i think interms of economy
DAVAO- philippines most beautiful city, livability wise and even may bombing still standing tall. highly urbanized but very clean, green and safe.
BACOLOD- though small, very clean and has nice parks
CDO- small davao?
OLONGAPO- hands up! americanized...
GENSAN- baby subic??
ILOILO- sorry pero... masikip ang daan... marumi ang streets
good naman ang economy pero parang uncivilized parn... yun lng... sorry sa mga ilongo...
