Mang Inasal has long been more than a restaurant; it is a cultural touchstone. And with Mari Aldecoa stepping in as Head of Marketing and Business Channels, the brand is entering a new era where heritage meets bold innovation, promising to expand its reach, sharpen its identity, and set fresh benchmarks in the industry.
Aldecoa brings over 15 years of experience revitalizing powerhouse brands across quick-service restaurants and consumer goods. Before joining Mang Inasal, he led Red Ribbon Bakeshop to consistent growth, proving his ability to strengthen market presence while keeping brands relevant in a fast-moving industry.
For Aldecoa, the excitement lies not just in leading a successful brand but in deepening its connection with
customers and exploring new frontiers for growth. “What excites me most about leading Marketing and
Business Channels for Mang Inasal is the opportunity to build on an already powerful brand, one that is
deeply loved and performing at its strongest. My role is to take that momentum and elevate it even further,
ensuring that Mang Inasal remains both iconic and ever-evolving for the next generation of consumers,” he says.
He emphasizes the importance of collaboration and discovery. “I am genuinely excited to work alongside
the team that has brought Mang Inasal to where it is today, a team that clearly understands the brand’s DNA
and its customers. Together, we can strengthen the core while exploring new occasions where the brand can
continue to excel and remain accessible,” Aldecoa adds.
Under Aldecoa’s leadership, Mang Inasal is not just innovating, it is setting new benchmarks in the Philippine
QSR landscape. The Brand Finance 2025 report recognized Mang Inasal as the strongest QSR brand in the country and ranked it 7th among the nation’s strongest brands, a testament to its impressive sales growth,
enduring customer trust, and unwavering loyalty. The report also placed Mang Inasal as the
25th most valuable brand in the Philippines. Adding to this string of accomplishments,
the brand holds the distinction of being the most awarded QSR in the country today.
For Aldecoa, these honors are more than milestones, they are the launchpad for the next
chapter of Mang Inasal’s growth and continued success.
Aldecoa’s approach is grounded in core values that guide both him and the brand. He leads with
excellence, setting high standards and ensuring decisive execution. He fosters a collaborative spirit,
encouraging the team to innovate and work cohesively. He leads with empathy, balancing ambition
with care for teams and partners, and embraces courage, taking bold steps to explore new opportunities
and drive the brand forward.
Since joining Mang Inasal, Aldecoa has focused on identifying untapped opportunities and crafting
strategies that extend the brand’s reach and relevance. From experimenting with new marketing channels
to exploring different customer touchpoints, he is determined to ensure that Mang Inasal continues to
resonate with a wide audience while remaining true to its identity.
With Aldecoa at the helm, Mang Inasal is poised not only to strengthen its position as a market leader
but also to set new benchmarks in the industry. Its signature grilled offerings are reaching more communities,
and its marketing initiatives are evolving, reflecting a brand that is confident, forward-looking, and bold.
