Cabalen Group Celebrates 39 Years with Purpose
In celebration of its 39th Anniversary, The Cabalen Group proudly launches a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility campaign under its foundation, Cabalen Para Sa Kabataan Foundation, Inc., anchored on the theme “Sarap ng Salu-Salo.”
As part of this milestone year, the group rolls out “PISO PARA SA KABATAAN”—an in-store donation drive that invites diners from Cabalen, Mangan Restaurant, Tsurumaru Udon x Tempura, Soi Thai Restaurant and Suki-Ya Eat All You Can Sukiya & Shabu-Shabu to share a simple one-peso donation with every visit.
The campaign aims to raise support for San Jose Elementary School in Caloocan City, where 749 students and 25 teachers continue to persevere despite limited resources. With 87% of the learners coming from low-income and underserved households, the initiative focuses on providing school supplies, hygiene kits, nutritious meals and a vibrant day of celebration for both students and teachers this coming August 2025.
“For nearly four decades, Cabalen has been a place where families come together, stories are shared and the richness of Filipino culture is celebrated with every meal. As we mark our 39th year, we hope to bring the spirit of salu-salo beyond our restaurant walls. We want to serve hope, joy, and opportunity to communities who need it most,” said Maritel O. Nievera, Founder and President of The Cabalen Group.
Starting August 8, Piso Para sa Kabataan will transform spare change into a shared commitment—proving that even the smallest acts of giving can feed dreams, fuel learning, and foster a future full of promise.
Guided by Cabalen’s core values of togetherness, generosity and celebration, this campaign is a reminder that the true joy of every gathering is not just in the food we share, but in the love and kindness we extend to others.
