27 October 2025
Hearst Magazines International and One MEGA Group Inc. (OMGI), a subsidiary of AGC Power Holdings Corp. (AGC PHC), proudly announce the debut of Delish Philippines—the first international licensee of Hearst Magazine’s acclaimed Delish brand. Set to launch in the second quarter of 2026, Delish Philippines will deliver dynamic content across digital storytelling, immersive experiences, collectible print editions, and exclusive merchandise, offering a fresh and modern perspective on Filipino gastronomy. From heirloom recipes reimagined to the bold innovations of rising chefs and culinary creatives, the brand will dive deep into the tastes, traditions, and voices that define the Filipino table.
Designed for both local and international audiences, Delish Philippines is anchored on a clear vision: to be the global voice and premier showcase of Filipino gastronomy—elevating local flavors to world-class standards and inspiring deeper appreciation for Filipino culture across continents.
“Our expansion into food media is both strategic and deeply cultural,” said Archie G. Carrasco, Chairman and CEO of AGC PHC. “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.”
The launch of Delish Philippines comes at a pivotal moment when Filipino cuisine is gaining unprecedented international recognition. Globally, the food media market continues to expand as audiences seek authentic, experience-driven content, while Southeast Asia has emerged as one of the fastest-growing regions in culinary tourism.
The rise of acclaimed Filipino restaurants in culinary capitals such as New York, London, and Sydney, alongside the increasing presence of Filipino chefs in global awards such as the James Beard Awards and the Michelin Guide, signals a growing appetite for the country’s unique flavors.
“Delish Philippines is where heritage meets innovation,” said Rodolfo (Randolf) Palanca Jr., Publisher of Delish Philippines. “Delish Philippines 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.”
“For 10 years Delish has delivered fun and engaging content designed to bring people together over a shared love of food,” said Kim St. Clair Bodden, SVP/Global Editorial and Brand Director of Hearst Magazines International. “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.”
This is the first partnership between OMGI and Hearst Magazines International, and marks OMGI’s bold entry into the culinary media landscape, expanding its lifestyle media portfolio with a distinct regional and global outlook at a time when the world is increasingly captivated by Filipino flavors.
