I. Proposed Product or Service
According to (FAQ.ph, 2018), Filipinos are well known for their love of food
and in every meal. There is always rice and in almost every breakfast, the rice
should be served according to (Zialcita, F. N., 2005), in addition, we love to eat,
especially using our hands and putting our feet up on the chair and resting the elbow
and knee. Rice is part of the culture, it is a staple food for Filipinos, and it goes with
any meal (Imelda, 2018). Almost half of the population in the world gets roughly fifty
percent (50%) of their caloric intake from rice (Brennan, D., 2020). Rice contains
calcium, iron, and calories that are like fuel for our body, they are essential for our
body to operate optimally. The scarcity of rice or something that would take its place
will significantly result in the hunger of many people.
Pastil is a rice product that originated from the Muslim people from the
Maguindanao, it was originally called a poor man’s food and was originally for the
Muslim people but now is also offered to non-Muslim people (Punzalan, 2017).
Additionally, this delicious food is made up of only boiled rice with topping ‘kagikit', a
sauteed shredded meat of fish, chicken, or beef, and is then wrapped with a wilted
banana leaf (See Figure 1). Originally, the preparation of the meat was used from the
leftovers, but today freshly cooked are served to ensure the best taste, freshness,
and quality. To enhance the taste more, spices like onion, ginger, and garlic are
added, even soy sauce makes the food even better, a hard-boiled egg may be added
to complement the dish. Based on an interview with a pastil businesswoman, Bai
Aileen Samad, who operates an eatery in Cotabato, particularly inside the mega-city
market, sold pastil seventy-five (75) pieces to one hundred (100) pieces daily and
occasionally will reach up to one hundred fifty (150) pieces. The price for each of the
servings ranges from seven pesos (P7.00) to ten pesos (P10.00) and other eateries
offer them at fifteen pesos (P15.00).
Pastil Food House, a family style restaurant, takes the traditional pastil into a
whole new level, to serve in a Bilao, a woven tray that is traditionally made from the
Abra Province and are used for cleaning raw rice, but are also used to serve food
such as puto or pancit, not only it serves as a serving plate, but in the overall
aesthetic. According to its serving size, there will be a variety of bilao sizes, flavors,
2
or toppings that vary to chicken, fish, beef, etc. Pastil is known for its salty flavor, to
complement, a sweet dessert Camote Delight is also offered. Filipinos love sweet
foods especially desserts (Unilever Food Solutions, 2020). Made from the main
ingredient Camote or Sweet Potato, a known vegetable that is sweet-tasting, starchy,
and healthy because it has high levels of Vitamin C, which may help reduce the risk
of getting chronic diseases. The main highlight of the Pastil Food House is that it
proudly carries the Filipino tradition, catering our very own pastil and camote delight,
served on bilao that is locally made, which helps our local weaver in producing the
bilaos and our main suppliers and farmers from Marilog District, Davao City.
Business Name
Pastil Food House was chosen as the business name because it is easy to
remember, a straightforward name that is not complex for people to pronounce.
House was used because for us, it is best to eat when you feel at home, thus, the
inspiration for the exterior of the physical store is inspired by “Bahay na Bato”, an
original Filipino house, the updated version of the “Bahay Kubo”.
Business Slogan
“PASTILan nga lamian, sa Davao ra makit-an!”. Pastil was originally from
Maguindanao and was only for the Muslim people, but because of its delicious taste
and unique way of packing, it becomes popular among every Filipino especially
Davaoeños. Pastil Food House promises to serve the unique, delicious, and
affordable pastil in town, to be offered in various flavors, and offering an appetizing
Camote Delight which everyone will love.

enjoy even our Islam brothers and sisters.
Weaknesses ● The major weakness is the fact that we are new to venturing
in business and starting a new company, the inadequate
financial capacity to compete with other competitors.
● The pastil food business is not entirely new to the market.
Threats ● The arrival of new products in the future that would confront
our business especially that would be located near our
location because it is a commercially active area.
Customer Benefits
● Satisfaction. It will give the customers satisfaction since the product is known
to be delicious and will be served to a new level.
● Convenience, safety, and comfort. To ensure that the place is comfortable,
safe for our customers, and sanitized consistently in conquering Covid-19.
● Price-friendly. Filipinos deserve a well-served meal at an affordable price to
ensure everyone will enjoy our food every time.
Company Logo
The background of our logo is the bilao which represents the plate where our
product will be served. The word pastil in the logo is written in a cursive approach as
4
this pertains to a flowing manner which is a good sign for a business to grow. The
pastil as shown in the logo is directly above the dahong saging which shows the
traditional way of serving pastil, as our product highlights the Filipino culture.
Our business differs from any pastil sellers around Mindanao. We make sure
that every ingredient is always fresh and available to avoid supply limitations
resulting in low production. Rice meals are in high demand nowadays simply
because it is essential and correlates to the needs of everyone, especially Filipinos.
People nowadays prefer rice in every meal for its friendly-cost and it can supplement
any viands. The Department of Agriculture (2020), reassures the public that the
country’s rice supply is adequate for the entire year with a comfortable level of
inventory. Therefore, rice supplies are always sufficient for everyone’s needs and
also for food industries. Also, sweet potatoes are present everywhere in the market.
All people can easily buy sweet potatoes even in their nearby neighborhoods. The
factors affecting the profitability of sweet potato production were also evaluated
using multiple regression analysis. Results revealed that sweet potato production is
generally profitable with a high financial return of 144% to farmers, or a net income
of Php 48,400.00 pesos per hectare (Lirag, 2019). Also, sweet potato is a profitable
and resilient crop until now and its supply never fails because it can withstand floods,
5
typhoons, and any temperature (Mohanty, 2019). All of the raw products that will be
needed in the business are all in demand and have an excellent level of supply.
Filipinos prefer products and services that are essential and at the same time
price-friendly especially today. People would go after the good quality and benefits
they received while securing their budget. The Pastil Food House offers a main dish
called “pastil”, a known food product that comprises rice and a viand on top. Rice
meals are part of the needs and wants of every Filipino because we are known as
“rice eaters”. Since rice meals are part of the needs, we look closer to the known
product and offer vanities of pastil products that everyone would like. The taste of the
viands we offer like chicken, beef, fish, squid, crabs, and shrimp create a balance
with rice. According to Arcalas & Ordinario (2017), rich and poor households always
have rice included in their budgets. It is the cheapest source of carbohydrates and is
most compatible with Filipino dishes. Since our target consumers are all levels in our
society, our products will definitely appeal to everyone. Also, most people are fond of
purchasing food that is easy and simple, so we level into the demands of people and
come up with “pastil in a bilao”, camote-delight, and “buko espesyal” as the main
products of the business. The business also makes sure to serve healthy meals and
quality service that our consumers deserve while helping our farmers from afar.

people. Also, to ensure that all people would enjoy our foods. There are different
servings in different sizes of bilao. Rice is known as essential for every Filipino’s
meal, serves as the fuel for our body as it is rich in calories and carbohydrates paired
with a tasty topping “kagikit’ makes up the pastil, with a dessert offering the Camote

because Sweet Potatoes are great source of vitamins, fibers, and minerals.
