Drive through and taste the magic!


Every fan’s ultimate dream is to step into the world of their favorite story—may it be a comic book, manga or graphic novel, an animated series, a movie, or a television show. Just imagine being able to enter the world of your favorite character and interact with them, let alone share a meal with them! Oh, what a fantasy!

Luckily for the fans of GMA's beloved series, Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre, fantasy turned to reality as the Kapuso Network and McDonald’s collaborated in a first-of-its-kind partnership through the McDonald’s Sang'gre Meal and Sang’gre Drive-Thru Dress up.

“We're very excited because this is really the first (time) that we're partnering with a local production and so much more, a partner that is as big as GMA and Encantadia,” said Ada Lazaro, McDonald’s Philippines Chief Marketing Officer.

Launched on August 29 amid festivities, the magic of the Sang’gre Drive-Thru comes alive with Encantadia-inspired decorations, evoking the sense of wonder and adventure that the famed telefantasya has always been known for. Simultaneously opened in four key branches, each location was graced by McDonald’s and GMA executives, and the Sang’gre Kapuso stars—Bianca Umali as Terra in Quezon Avenue-Ligaya (Quezon City), Faith Da Silva as Flamarra in McKinley Hill (Taguig), Kelvin Miranda as Adamus in Capital Town (Pampanga), and Angel Guardian as Deia in Southwoods (Laguna). Also joining this magical cast are Mikee Quintos as Lira, Vito and Kiel Gueco as Mantuk and Tukman; and Imaw—adding more excitement to this one-of-a-kind experience.

McDonald’s customers and Encantadiks alike also got a rare treat as the Sang’gre cast joined the celebration to meet guests and revelers, and of course, to serve feel-good moments with an Encantadia twist.

Together with the Sang’gre Drive-Thru, McDonald’s also launched the new Sang’gre Meal! Available nationwide for a limited time, this special menu item celebrates the Much Malaki, Much Pinasarap Chicken McDo, and the success of the ongoing Sang’gre series.

Inspired by the titular characters, the Sang’gre McFloat offers four unique flavors reflecting the qualities of the Brilyante keepers: Dalandan for Sang’gre Terra, Raspberry for Sang’gre Flamarra, Cotton Candy for Sang’gre Deia, and Green Apple for Sang’gre Adamus. Every order of the Sang’gre Meal also comes with a random limited-edition Sang’gre photocard which is a perfect collectible for Encantadiks and McDonald’s aficionados alike!

 

 

Power of collaboration

For generations, McDonald’s and GMA Network have touched the lives of generations of Filipinos. This powerful collaboration through the Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre franchise is a continuation of that enduring and heartwarming legacy.

“At McDonald’s, we’re committed to creating feel-good moments for our customers, and that includes celebrating the richness of Filipino pop culture. This exciting collaboration with GMA Network is part of that commitment, specially created for Encantadia fans who have kept the magic alive through the years,” Lazaro said.

As McDonald’s bridges the gap between our world and the enchanting universe of Encantadia, every moment feels like a taste of fantasy. With great surprises in store from this collaboration, there’s no better time to say “Love Ko ‘To!”—or in Enchanta we say, “E Correi Iv.”

The new Sang’gre Meal is available for dine-in, drive-thru, take-out, and McDelivery until supplies last! Most importantly, don’t miss out on the Sang’gre Drive-Thru! Journey through our four Encantadia gateways until November 14, 2025.
