McDonald’s Philippines, together with thousands of other McDonald’s restaurants in Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, will be celebrating the 2nd National Breakfast Day. On March 17, McDonald’s will once again be treating Filipinos to a free hot and fresh McMuffin, made with lightly grilled Canadian bacon, freshly cracked Grade A egg, and melty American-style cheese sandwiched between warm perfectly toasted English Muffins, starting 6AM on its 320 McDonald’s breakfast store nationwide to the first 1,000 customers at a first-come-first-serve basis.
That’s over 315,000 hot and fresh McMuffins to be given away nationwide via Dine-In, Take-Out, and Drive-Thru, to say ‘thank you’ to its customers who start their day at McDonald’s.

In Cebu, there will be a total of 11 McDonald's Breakfast Restaurants participating the 2nd National Breakfast Day where Cebuanos can enjoy delicious McMuffins.
“We were so encouraged by our customers’ resounding response in the region last year, we are bringing back National Breakfast Day to remind people about waking up to better mornings with breakfast,” said Andrew Hipsley, Chief Brand Officer of McDonald’s for Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. “Breakfast is a significant business for McDonald’s. And we know the convenience of a hot McMuffin on-the-go makes breakfast so much more accessible for people who are often caught up in the morning rush.”

As a firm believer of breakfast, McDonald’s aims to make more people say “Hooray for Today!” and get the filling meal that they need, especially in the morning.
Since 1980's McDonald’s Philippines has been serving breakfast but was re-launched in 2008 with local products like Hamdesal. Iconic menu items, like the Egg McMuffin have become a breakfast favorite for Filipino customers who are on-the-go and prefer a no-fuss handheld meal.
“Together with the rest of the region, we are both excited and ready for this year’s National Breakfast Day. There have been heavy preparations in our stores to make this year’s celebration bigger and better for more Filipinos to experience the goodness of a McDonald’s breakfast,” says Kenneth S. Yang, McDonald’s Philippines President and Chief Executive Officer.
