Catchy and Funny Filipino

Business Names by James U.
Sy Jr.
Posted on September 6, 2013

Through the centuries Filipinos had freely associated, traded, and intermarried with
Chinese merchants (I being one of their descendants) and by cross cultural exchanges had
acquired in part their acute business acumen from the Chinese. All one has to do is see how
Filipinos market, attract clients, and give personalized service. But of course, one has to
attract the attention of the customer before one can serve him/her. Naming businesses is
one aspect of business where Filipinos are masters at. I hope this compendium leaves a
large grin in every Filipino readers face (well, except maybe for Wally and Napoles).

When my girlfriend asked me to name our restaurant, I came up with the name Viand
Muna, which I derived from bayan muna, with the philosophy of prioritizing the clients
needs first, in this case food. Customers would jokingly say, Ha? Bayad muna? Well, it
works. Gets their attention and has good memory recall.

However, its the near name-clones of multinational fast food chains that attract the
most jaw-dropping attention of all. Just consider the following: BigMak Burger, Inc. (burger
stand), Caintacky Fried Chicken (Cainta, Rizal), Cheeny Roaster, Chicha Hut, Jaribee Chicken,
Jerry Bee, Kenny Rouges (manokan, Araneta St., Bacolod), MacBo, MacDonuts (donut shop),
MacJoy (no MyJoy, Cebu), Mang Do Sinanglaw Master (near a McDonalds branch), Mang
Donalds (burger joint, Naga City Plaza), and McJolly. Mang Donalds serves the Big Mang!,
Mak-Mak, and a side order of Prince Fries.

Other Filipino food-related business names that will tickle your nerves are Abu Sarrap
Malay-Mindanao Food, Clothing, & Souvenir Shop, Ali Baka (shawarma), Aristoback (at the
back of Aristocrat Restaurant), Bar Bee Quick, Be My Ludy, Blue Marilyn (sing-along, ihaw-

ihaw restaurant, Sucat Ave., Paraaque), Candies Be Love?, Chik n Run, Cleopatas (bakahan
and manokan), Cris-P-Rito, Crispy Per Minute (specializes in crispy pata), Eat n Text food
Haus Atbp., Eats Good to Go, Eatscetera, En-Chic Food Haus, Fatty Kim, Fish Fun, Food for
Thought, The Fried of Marikina, Gerrys Siomai Balls (Chinese food), Goodah (Open 25 Hours)
(Chinese food), Goto Heaven, Gutom Me (Hilado St., Bacolod), Happy Birthday Toyo (soy
sauce, 1970s), Ho Kee Yah (Chinese resto, Baguio), Ho Lee Chow! (dimsum stall), Kik Mai
Bols & More, Ice Bucks, Ken Afford, KSP Grill (Kainan sa Pasig), Lets Do Eat Foodhaus,
Maruya Carey (turon and maruya, Greenbelt, Makati), Megamelt(ensaymada), Miki Mao
(noodle house), Nacho Fast (nachos to go), Oke Ah, Pa-Kap-Log(Pandesal, Kape at
itLog) (budget breakfast), Pancit ng Taga Malabon (Manila), Pata Tapa Atbp., Pee Boys Eatery
(Rizal St., Bacolod), Pig Out (San Antonio Village, Makati), Pizza Hot, Res Toe Run (Makati),
Samborger Snack Haus, San Juanokan (San Juan St., Bacolod), Scoopee Doo Ice Cream
Shoppe, Sika Tuna (now closed, Mayfair Plaza, Lacson St., Bacolod),
Sikat Tuna, Steak Side, Stick for More (specializes in squid balls, kikiam, and crabsticks),
Surp Rice! (food stall), Su-To-Kil (Sugba-Tola-Kilaw) (seaside wet market eatery, Seafood
Village, near Mactan Shrine, Cebu), Ta-Bachoy (specializes in pork), Tata Bachoys
Restaurant, Tapa O Di Ba? Tapa Sinangag at Iba Pa!, TapSi TurBi (Tapa, Sinangag, Turon, at
Bibingka) (tapa house and meal package), Tom Cruz Grill,
Tong Eat Carinderia, Tutti Fruit-asan (fruit stall), Woks Cookin, Wok Inn, Wok Man, and Wrap
and Roll (lumpia outlet, Quad, Makati).

Before you visit Janet Lim-Napoles, dont fail to drop by Pork Barrel Bar & Grill
Restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue (main branch) in Quezon City. Owner Baby Cruz, her
husband, and some of their friends conceptualized the restaurant in 1999 and wanted to
name it Pork Barrel sa Congress but the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) disapproved
the name, citing that it was very political. The restaurant was initially located along
Congressional Avenue in Quezon City and at that time the pork barrel was also the talk of
the town. The Pork Barrel in the name also refers to grilled pork, its specialty, and beers
that were used to be served in barrels. The restaurant used to have nipa huts named after
prominent congressmen but was soon discontinued to avoid controversy. The restaurant has
branches along Quirino Highway and in Antipolo City. (On a side note, there is an L B M
Lounge Restaurant in Wyoming, USA and a restaurant/hotel/spa named LBM 14C in Den
Haag, Netherlands).

Meat lovers may want to check out these shops: Beefer 150, Carneval Butchery &
Meatshop, Meating Place, and Meatropolis. Bread lovers can choose from Bread Pitt, Better
Pan Catering, Monay Lisa Etc., or Peter Pan de sal (bread shop). Or perhaps, after bombarded
with all those food, you may want to have a cup of coffee at Bean Der Cafe (Cainta, Rizal),
Brew Huh! (SM City, Bacolod), Brewer Than Brewed, Cafe Pindot, Cafe Veranda Five Thirsty,

honey, Batangas), Tak Takk Tea House, The White House of Cigar (owned by Bill Clint Ong,
Capitol Hills, Quezon City), or Wine Wine West (West Ave., Quezon City); for H 2O die hard
people, Harry Water (purified water station), H2Oasis Ultra Pure Water (mineral water), Too
Big (water refilling station, Lizares St., Bacolod), or Top Water (mineral water)

For those looking for the love of their lives, it might help to check out Dear Hunter

When you meet your date, dont forget the flowers: The Enchanted Florist, Petal
Attraction (near UP Diliman, Quezon City), Susans Roses, and Trees Company (artificial
plants, Pasay Road). But if shes an animal lover, consider Dogs in The City, Petchetera, and
Your Best Vet.

Before proceeding to your date, get some cash from Alabank (Rural Bank of
Alabang)in Makati City Star Bucks Money Changer in Ermita. See if they are guarded by
guards from the Backfire Security Agency.

A romantic relationship often ends up in marriage so it pays to make preparations

for the house: Christopher Plumbing, Goldirocks (sand and gravel), H. U. Kayin (deep-well
drilling services), Suzys Key Duplication, Three Men and a Truck (lipat bahay services, Las

Pinas), and To Home It May Concern (furniture shop, Caloocan City. Maintaining the house is
not a problem with Maid to Last, Maid to Order, and Ready Maid. For home video rental
entertainment, you have Fernando Pes Box Office Hits (Busuanga, Palawan), Ken Touch
Video, and Leon King Video Rental (Las Pias). For your transportation requirements,
Autohann, Income Taxi, and Mat & Jeep (jeep accessories).

Your computer worries at home or at the office can be solved by Bill Gets, Bills
Gate, Burner King (burns and pirates audio CDs and DVDs), Fix Ahoy (repair shop, Wilson
St., San Juan), Perfect Byte, or Whats Disc? (novelty CD kiosk, Megamall, Mandaluyong).

For wives who suspect their husbands who go home late, avail of the services of

(karaoke bar), Spy Girls (bar, previously Spider as in Gagamba, Rosario-Mabini Sts.,
Bacolod), Takosa, Tom Cruz Beer Garden, and You Kneaded Me Massage Parlor. Wives
questioning their husbands must take note if they say they came from OBeertime or The
Other Office (Ermita, Manila) as these are actually night clubs. Or if not, I-Motel-Mo-Ako,
Lets Go Inn (motel, Batangas), or Motel Monaco.

Medicines become more important as one ages. The following would be of great help:
Farmacia with Love, Get Well Drugs, Memory Drug (Mercury Drug clone), and Mercy Drug
(Mercury Drug clone, Olongapo). If ones sight is becoming blurry, try visit i2i (eyewear) or
Labo Optical. Saying goodbye with deceased loved ones become more memorable with
Funeraria Mabuhay and Last Trip Funeral Parlor.

And the ingenuity of Filipinos in making business names doesnt end there. Many
businesses had been given names that sound Japanese, and less often, Chinese. Consider
the following: Atsakamurapa, Mah-Lu-Tong (specializes in crispy pata), Nakamura (food,
Pedro Gil St., Manila), Su-ki Mo-ko (food), Ta-ke Ho-me (Japanese restaurant), Muradito (RTW
store, Manila), and Orignamurapa.

The competitiveness of the market even brings the Filipinos ingenuity to new
heights, as competing businesses express it through their names. Cooking ng Ina Mo and
Cooking ng Ina Mo Rin are food businesses fronting each other, as well as Ka-me Mu-ra and
Mas Mu-ra Ka-mi, which serve Japanese food. Chinese delicacy stores Holland Hopia and
Poland Hopia, owned by Mr. Ho and Mr. Po respectively, used to be next door neighbors in
Binondo, Manila. Con Hair and Hair Force One are beauty salons fronting each other. We Do
Shoe, a shoe business by a Chinese, had a next door competitor, Shoe We Do. Damus
Bookshop is just across Nostra Bookshop.

There you go folks, all 247 catchy and gunny Filipino business names!
