“Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.”
In celebration of the upcoming Father's Day, we remember one of our heartwarming projects with IKEA Philippines where we honored the "Haligi Ng Tahanan," especially those who love, accept, embrace, and commit to children as if it’s their own.

Throwback to one of our favorite Selecta projects where creativity meets intimacy, and surprises await with p-pop kings — SB19 ♚
"Doing the Selecta MAPA video was great because I finally got to work with SB19 outside of the concerts that I usually get to do with them," director Quintin Cu-Unjieng recalls. "The boys are always so giving and even went the extra mile to include little Easter eggs in the ad that only their fans would notice."

Hapag Project | Secret Menu
In a society where acceptance is a battle, our project with IKEA Philippines delves into the courageous journey of coming out and the essence of family.
“Coming out is a huge inspiration for this concept. It’s a challenging process to no longer hide their identity. Sobrang hirap nun lalo na in a country where they don’t see you as equal. Ang hirap na mayroon kang tinatago at hindi mo magawang maging totoo lalo na sa harap ng mga mahal mo sa buhay,” director @jphabac says. “Bibihira ang mga brands na may tapang to tackle social issues”.
This collaboration embodies our shared values of equality and inclusivity. Join us in redefining narratives with this project that received the Champions For Humanity Bronze Award at the Asia Pacific Tambuli Awards 2023.

Iskool Rul3z | PIE Channel | Secret Menu
PIE channel takes us on a nostalgic trip with the Iskool Rul3z project, and Secret Menu is proud to support their vision. From doodles on notebooks, to test paper-inspired question boxes, our team captured the essence of the program perfectly.
Director Church Cabreira's vision came to life in the classroom-inspired background, where our hosts shine as teachers, despite the challenges of post-editing.
“It was quite difficult during the online edit as it was 25 minutes of footage that needed to be key framed, so you can imagine how long that would take. But in the end, the hard work paid off as everything locks,” he shares.

"To all the women out there, just be who you are. Sharpen your sickle," @lottiebie says. In celebration of the Women's Month, we are shining the spotlight to one of our female directors who believes in the importance of reminding women that leadership doesn't have to conform to traditional stereotypes. You can be true to yourself, express your creativity, and command respect without compromising your identity. Happy International Women's Month to all the talented, reliable, capable, and smart women out there! ✨
This Women's Month, we are putting the spotlight on one of our creative and talented female directors, Chyna Lo. Creating a supportive and inclusive environment is key to fostering collaboration and embracing diverse perspectives according to her. "A lot of young women might feel intimidated to contribute or lead, but if you encourage them to share their ideas and perspectives, I believe that it would help a lot." Women are always for women. Let's continue to uplift and empower each other by celebrating each other's achievements and contributions every day. Happy International Women's Month! ✨
As National Arts Month draws to a close, we're shining the spotlight on our talented, creative, and cool Secret Menu directors — Church Cabreira, Lottie Bie, Chyna Lo, and JP Habac. ✨

SM STORE HOME SHOPPING SPREE WITH SMALL LAUDE | SECRET MENU
We sang nothing but praises for the very bubbly Tita Small Laude and her angel yayas, who were very fun to work with. Our client, SM Home, gave us the perfect canvas to use which made this shoot a breeze.
In this project, our goal was to make the whole thing as candid and natural as possible while making sure to deliver brand asks. With the cast's personalities and the perfect backdrop, we were able to enjoy creating this fun and light material.
