+BISAYAFILMS- X John Cena, CoCo Milk Tea and Why Taiwan Is Better Than Us
THE SITUATION
John Cena already tried the Coco Fresh Tea and Juice in the Philippines, nga makita nimo sa video. Which means he probably knows about the fact that Coco Tea has already a branch in SM Seaside City, which is the flagship store of Coco Tea in the Visayas.
THE SUGGESTION
1. John Cena can shoot a Cebuano Film directed by Keith Deligero of Binisaya Film Festival and it could be sponsored by Taiwan-born CoCo Tea and the topic would be about how we were at one point in time better than Taiwan and now Taiwan is better than Philippines with their weapon of mass inspiration: Milk Tea
“In 1960 Taiwan had a much lower literacy rate than the Philippines and half the income per person; today Taiwan has ten times the income.”― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder
Then in the film, somebody can ask these questions:
1. Is Taiwan better than us because they are currently less literate with Book Knowledge and they probably even have lower university education than the Philippines but they are so rich in Street Practical Business Knowledge that generates wealth? Apprentice knowledge learned in practice, not Overfeeding of Some, Not All, Book Knowledge that confuses the student.
And some, not all, book knowledge that generates more books that don't really spread wealth? We have so many University Graduates here, so many books written, taking taxpayers money from Public University Education, and this literacy doesn't seem to translate to real wealth?
2. We were better than Taiwan during the time of our grandparents who were not overloaded with sterile information and who were doers, tinkerers, risktakers that learned from actual small bounded mistakes, not books? Or is it because the Philippines chose Happiness over Wealth?
Only God Knows
That said, did you get the chance to visit Coco Tea at SM Seaside? You can buy a CocoTea drink and then watch all the Alem Garcia, Keith Deligero, Snake Princess, and postmodern Binisaya Short Films and Bisaya Short Films online.

PRESS RELEASE
CoCo Tea Conquers Cebu City
Responding to the clamor of its Cebuano clients, cult favorite milk tea brand CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice has launched two branches in Cebu City in a matter of six months and plans are underway for a third branch soon.
“We are overwhelmed with the response of Cebuanos for CoCo. In fact, Cebu City was one of the most requested area the we have received for CoCo to be present in, and when SM Seaside opened in Cebu, we knew that this is the perfect location to build our flagship store in Cebu,” Larry Evans Tan, General Manager of CoCo , shared in a huddle with Cebu media at the CoCo SM Seaside branch.
Its branch at SM Seaside was CoCo’s flagship store in Cebu which is one of their most picturesque branches and was completed March of this year. It has since become a favorite hangout place of many Cebuano squads and families. The second branch which opened only last September was at Ayala Center Cebu to keep up with the demand for CoCo blends from the people of Cebu.
A third CoCo branch in Cebu is underway and might open second quarter of next year.
Tan added that the Cebu branches are the first CoCo branches in the Visayas.
“We felt that the CoCo brand and the Cebuano lifestyle are a perfect match. Cebuanos are known for their love for good food and having a fun, relaxed vibe. They also love to hang out with their friends and families and these are exactly what CoCo stands for,” Tan shared.
Tan brought CoCo to the Philippines five years ago from the milk tea capital of the world, Taiwan. It has rapidly become a top player in the Filipino milk tea craze and is one of the strongest markets of the CoCo brand worldwide.
Just recently, CoCo was awarded the Favorite Milk Tea brand in the Philippines, a testament of its leadership in the milk tea market segment.
CoCo leads in the global tea market with a formidable 4,000 branches spread out across the world and posting an incredible sale of 100 cups per second globally.
In Metro Manila, where it has become go-to-milk tea brand, a cup of CoCo is ordered every 4 minutes via Grab Food alone.
Tan shared with the Cebu media that they are also partnered with Grab Food delivery in Cebu so that those who crave for CoCo may just order via the app to get their favorite CoCo fix.
Tan added that both CoCo Cebu branches will carry all CoCo blends that are available in Metro Manila, including the latest Chocolate Caramel Cream Slush which he described as “Waves of caramel blended with chocolate slush over velvety salty cream making it a drink that is decadent for the local palate.” Chocolate Caramel Cream Slush is a blend that’s exclusive and created for the Philippines.
The other CoCo bestsellers which have now become favorites as well of the Cebuano customers are the Panda Milk Tea, 3 Buddies, White Pearl Milk Tea and Passion Fruit Tea Burst.
“We continue to explore expansion to other areas and bring CoCo closer to our customers. At the same time, we also try to come up with new flavors that we know our customers would love,” Tan said.
