Spirits aficionados and culinary professionals enjoyed a world-class beverage experience as Tanduay, the world’s number one rum, took the spotlight at this year’s World Food Expo (WOFEX), held March 27–29 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
“Our goal was to celebrate the rich tradition of Philippine rum-making and showcase the diverse ways our spirits can be enjoyed,” said a Tanduay spokesperson. “WOFEX was the perfect stage for that.”
At booths 716 and 717, attendees explored an exclusive lineup of Tanduay’s celebrated local staples and globally recognized export labels—offered at special expo-only prices. The featured collection included Asian Rum Gold, Asian Rum Silver, Especia Spiced Rum, Double Rum, Heritage Rum, Ginto, Embassy, Flavored Mixes, and Tanduay Select, bridging the gap between heritage craftsmanship and modern innovation.
A crowd favorite throughout the expo was the daily live mixology show, where three of the country’s finest bartenders brought Tanduay’s spirits to life through inventive cocktail creations.

Tanduay’s impactful presence at WOFEX 2025 not only highlighted its position as a global leader in the rum industry but also celebrated Filipino talent and innovation in the beverage scene. The brand continues to foster stronger connections with both local and international audiences.
As the Philippines’ largest food and beverage trade show, WOFEX remains a vital hub for culinary trends, industry insights, and potential partnerships—solidifying its reputation as the country’s ultimate F&B event.
