EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report was commissioned for the proposal of a new product for Mang Inasal-Silang
branch, which will cater the demand of the increasing trend of health and weight conscious
customers who are looking for a healthy product for their healthy lifestyle.
We have found out through our extensive research that there is an increase in the number
of Filipinos, who are dealing with obesity, heart problems, and other health-related issues.
According to our study as of 2011, survey showed that 22.3% of Filipino adults are overweight
and 6.1% are obese and is expected to increase significantly. Most of our products are meat,
which is high in saturated and transfat that can lead to obesity and heart disease. For customers
who are looking for a healthier food, eating in Mang Inasal may not be a good option for them
and this may lead to a decrease in the market share in Silang.
Because there is now this trend of consumers switching in to more-healthy products, the
management of Mang Inasal wishes to grab this opportunity. The labor force of Silang comprises
the 64.38% or 132,994 out of 206,577 persons in the municipality. The management wishes to
appeal more to the students, health-conscious, and price-sensitive consumers of Mang Inasal who
lives in Silang.
Our overall objective is to develop a low priced meal that is suited for health conscious
individuals. Tuna and Malunggay pasta is our proposed product, which will be offered to our
target market. Our product, the Tuna and Malunggay Pasta incorporates the use of Malunggay
Pasta and Tuna as the main ingredients for the main dish. Malunggay is rich in vitamins and
minerals while tuna are rich in protein Omega 3. The benefits of Malunggay is scientifically
proven, which help reduce the rate of having cancer. Tuna, on the other hand, are good for the
heart and helps in muscle build up.
The expected awareness level that we expect after all the promotional efforts (e.g. flyers,
prints ads, television and radio ads) is 60% of the target market or 79,800 individuals.
Of those 79,800 individuals, 45% or 35,910 are expected to try the new product offering of
Mang Inasal. Of those who are expected to learn of our new product offering and tried the
product, an estimate of 25% or 8977.5 are expected to purchase again the product.
Since the expected purchase frequency is one serving per month, we just simply
multiplied 8977.5 by 12 to get the projected sales volume, which is equal to 107,730 servings for
the whole year.
The product will be priced PhP49.00 and will be lined with the Sulit Sarap Meals. A 60%
profit margin is allocated to cover up for all the production expenses and the overhead expenses
that will be incurred in the production and promotion of the said product. A further PhP
3,124,170.00 gross profit is expected to be earned by this product alone. Promotional expenses
will be covered by the expected gross profit since the team has planned various promotional
activities in lined with the launching of the said product.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Mang Inasal is one of the most prosperous fast-food chains in the Philippines. Founded by
Edgar Injap Sia II, it started its operations in Iloilo City, Philippines, and the number of
branches currently continues to grow in number. Right from the start, Mang Inasal was already
able to catch the attention of the Filipinos since its products are mostly, if not entirely, Filipino in
nature. Because of its increasing number of branches around the country,
Mang Inasal provides numerous job opportunities to many, whether the available
opportunities are on the supplier, the management, or the employees. Right from the very
beginning, Edgar Sia already spurred Filipinos interests in Robinsons Place, Iloilo City,
Philippines. What he did was he distributed this initial success in Iloilo City to TATC, Roxas
City, Capiz (second branch). He then branched out to Marymart Mall, Iloilo City (third branch),
to Mall of Asia, Manila, and soon afterwards, to the rest of the Philippine Islands.
Mang Inasal is known for the swiftness and accuracy of its services, quality of its
products, and its variety of food choices. The National Meat Inspection Service gave Mang
Inasal a certified Double A on its commissaries (one in Iloilo and one in Manila), assuring safety
when consuming their products. Apart from safety, Mang Inasal also allowed its Research and
Development Department (RDD) to makes sure that all of its products are fresh and hygienic.
The RDD also takes the responsibility of developing new products in Mang Inasals menu. In
order to raise concerns in branches scattered everywhere within the country, Mang Inasal has its
Support System to transmit to its main department and act upon giving remedial solutions. With
cooperation between different departments, Mang Inasal remains to be one of the healthiest
businesses in the Philippines.
A. BUSINESS MISSION

products and services to our franchisees with fairness and integrity. Moreover, provide livelihood
programs to the community by treating them as business partners.

POPULATION ANALYSIS OF SILANG, CAVITE
On the local scale, as of 2010, the total number of population in Silang, Cavite is
206,577. Of these, 66,637 or 32.26% are aged 14 years old and below. Those who are considered
part of the labor force comprise the majority of the Silang population with a total of 132,994 or
64.38%. Moreover, the upper minority, those who are aged 65 and above, comprises the
remaining 3.36% of the total population of Silang or 6,946 individuals.

plan, we will be focusing more on the labor force of Silang, which includes high school and
tertiary students, office employees, factory workers and other professionals. We have also
gathered that this age group especially the young adults, are those who are more healthconscious and are more price-sensitive.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
1) Industry Analysis
An overview of the fast food industry highlights the availability of meals that serve the
need to eat even during tight work or school schedules, and at very affordable or, most of the
time, cheap prices. Individuals, mostly parents or people who live on their own, who dont know
how to cook or dont have time to cook, find fast foods of great convenience. Some fast food
restaurants also offer packaged foods or take-aways. The fast food industry now operates out
of convenience stores, food kiosks, supermarkets or grocery stores, coffee shops, and gas
stations. Individuals can now eat their food anywhere and anytime. Fast food restaurants also try
to fit their menus according to the taste and preference of the mass. Take for example Mang
Inasal, its barbecued chicken dish is what Filipinos like. The rise of fast food restaurants or
kiosks has often been linked with urban development. This kind of notion can be typically seen
in Filipinos.
a. Trends
Fast food retains its position as the largest and the fastest-growing category in the
Philippine consumer foodservice industry. During 2012, this category reported total foodservice
revenue of P121.9 billion, taking 30% of total value sales in consumer foodservice. Growth in
terms of outlets, transactions and value sales remains vibrant. The increasing number of shopping
centres, and small community supermarkets, in Metro Manila and key cities nationwide, has
supported outlet openings. Outlet growth was estimated to be at 8% in 2012 while transactions
and value sales ballooned by 9% and 11% respectively.
b. Consumers
Table 2 According to National Restaurant Association survey (2013)
Type of consumers
Adventurous; 46%
Typical; 44%
Forty six percent (46%) of the consumers tend to be more adventurous, dining out to seek
new tastes and foods they cannot make at home.
The other forty four percent (44%) of the consumers generally order their favorite food
when dining out, but sometimes try trendy menu items.
Seven percent (7%) of the consumers will be more traditional when dining out, only
ordering food that they know. While the remaining three percent (3%) are clueless, as to what
segment they belong in.
This technically describes the behaviors or consumers that we are today. This will be
helpful for this marketing plan, since we will be focusing more on the adventurous type of
consumers.
c. Competition
Competitive Advantage
Unlimited Rice
Good Location
In Silang branch, Mang Inasal has no direct competitor but has an indirect competitor,
which is Hap Chan, a Chinese-style restaurant. Having no direct competition in the vicinity is a
competitive advantage for the Mang Inasal-Silang branch.
Competitors
1.Chic-Boy
According to their web site, Chic-BoyTM is a new trademark and business model of Pier
One Bar and Grill Holdings Corporation, the company behind the successful Pier One Bar and
Grill restaurant chain in the Philippines. Having first tried the delicious and tasty lechon manok
and lechon liempo in Cebu and the Chicken Inasal of Bacolod, Pier One Bar and Grill Holdings
Corporation saw its business potential and the opportunity to tap into the lechon manok, lechon
liempo and chicken inasal industry and therefore, brought the secret recipe to Manila. Chic-Boy
TM opened its first Dine- In store last 05 May 2010 and began offering its Dine-In store concept
for franchise. In just 1 year and 3 months since we opened our first franchised store in Molito,
Alabang, they have grown into a total of eighty five (85) dine- in stores, eighty one (81) units of
which are franchised. Forty-four (44) more franchised stores are under construction.
Chic-Boy has been constantly growing and it is the archrival of Mang Inasal for it also
offers the same level of quality in all aspects, i.e. food and service. Chic-Boy also offers an
unlimited rice and unlimited iced tea, which Mang Inasal pioneered in the Barbeque Fast Food
Industry.
According to their web site, Bacolod Chicken Inasal is owned and managed by the sisters
and brother team of Rose, Bing and JM Tanalgo, Bacolod Chicken Inasal opened its first
takeout and delivery counter in 1993. It was a small take out spot at EDSA Central Complex in
Mandaluyong City with delivery services to the Ortigas and Mandaluyong areas. The Tanalgo
siblings opted to start out with a small stall to first have a feel of the market in Manila.
Bacolod Chicken Inasal is the oldest of the four but its slow growth and expansion has
been the biggest factor of their small market share even though they are the pioneer of serving
chicken inasal in the metro.

Entry Barriers
Mang Inasal Philippines Inc. is aware that it is the procedure on how they make their
distinct mark with their products, which makes them stand out that their patrons choose them
over some other fast food chain. So brand favoritisms of the consumers are a barrier for them to
monopolize the fast food industry. Likewise, the import tax that Mang Inasal has to pay every
time they import their raw materials from other countries could also affect their business as a
whole.

Table 3
The table above shows that as early as 2011, Mang Inasal dominates the barbecue fast food
industry with 423 branches nationwide. This only strengthens the hold of Mang Inasal as the
leading barbecue fast food restaurant in the Philippines. This also signifies the success of Mang
Inasal in penetrating the Filipino market by expanding its branches nationwide.
According to Family Income and Expenditure Survey, 42.6% of the Filipino households
income was spent on food. The increase in the number of workers who are engaged in business
and administrative jobs, and shifting consumers preferences towards leisure and convenience
resulted to the rise in demand for fast food services. It has now become a trend and routine for
middle class earners to eat at different fast food chains, which causes the presence of 32,000 fast
food outlets in the Metro Manila area only.
Relevance
Mang Inasal, as a part of the barbecue fast food industry, can take advantage of the
increasing trend for this industry. These would help them generate higher income and
increase further its market share. They can also take this opportunity to attract more
customers and outnumber its competitors.
Relevance:
Mang Inasal also offers franchising to the community. In fact, it is one of the fastest
growing franchises in our country. A lot franchisee means more income for Mang Inasal and it
will be introduced to different places especially to those areas where Mang Inasal is not present
yet.
Relevance:
An increase in the demand for packaged food would also mean an increase in demand for
fast food chains where Mang Inasal is a part. More Filipinos moving to urban areas looking for
job opportunities would be a positive factor for Mang Inasal since they can employ workers from
these people and they as well, can be their future customers.
Relevance
Most of the products of Mang Inasal are meat, which is high in saturated and transfat that
can lead to obesity and heart disease. For customers who are looking for a healthier food, eating
in Mang Inasal may not be a good option for them and this may lead to a decrease in the market
share of Mang Inasal, as people will shift their interest to those restaurants who offer organic and
healthier foods.
One common disease that we can get from poultry, especially chickens, is bird flu, which is
a disease caused by Type A influenza virus that mostly infect birds. This has been a serious
problem faced by poultry-related industries in the early years 2003-2009.
Relevance
Since the major product of Mang Inasal is its Chicken Inasal, health related risks of poultry
could decrease the sales of Mang Inasal, as people will avoid poultry products because of the
fear of having a sickness that they can get from it.
e. Technology
1. Mang Inasal to-go
Mang Inasal has launched a centralized delivery system. By simply dialing 7331111, customers can now order their favorite Mang Inasal meals and it will be delivered right on
their doorsteps anywhere within Metro Manila. Pilipinas Teleserve, Inc., one of the Philippines
leading service providers for fastfood chain deliveries, services the centralized delivery system.
Thirty-two strategically located stores serve as delivery hubs for motorcycle-riding deliverymen.
This will make the delivery of Mang Inasal orders faster and reliable as part of the companys
service values that include excellent customer service and market leadership.

than in other media.

f. Economy
1. Oil Price Hikes
How do high oil prices affect the economy on a micro level?
When oil prices increase, a larger share of households budgets is likely to be spent on it,
which leaves less to spend on other goods and services. The same goes for businesses whose
goods must be shipped from place to place or that use fuel as a major input (such as the airline
industry). Higher oil prices tend to make production more expensive for businesses, just as they
make it more expensive for households to do the things they normally do.
What effects do oil prices have on the macro economy?
Oil price increases are generally thought to increase inflation and reduce economic
growth. In terms of inflation, oil prices directly affect the prices of goods made with petroleum
products. Oil prices indirectly affect costs such as transportation, manufacturing, and heating.
The increase in these costs can in turn affect the prices of a variety of goods and services, as
producers may pass production costs on to consumers.
Oil price increases can also stifle the growth of the economy through their effect on the
supply and demand for goods other than oil. Increases in oil prices can depress the supply of
other goods because they increase the costs of producing them. In economics terminology, high
oil prices can shift up the supply curve for the goods and services for which oil is an input.
High oil prices also can reduce demand for other goods because they reduce wealth, as
well as induce uncertainty about the future (Sill 2007).
g. Environment
1. Agricultural Nation
Philippines remain to be an agricultural nation where it can serve as a source for the raw
materials that Mang Inasal uses for its business. Instead of having every ingredients, flavorings,
and other materials imported, Mang Inasal can use the it Philippines abundant natural resources.
2. Urban Development
With the recent growth in the real estate industry in the country, more and more provinces
and rural areas in the country are starting to be developed and urbanized. More and more
condominiums and villages are being constructed in various provinces of the country. This has
started a sort of migration of Filipinos families to the provinces or countryside. This would mean
more new areas for Mang Inasal to conquer and more market to serve.
h. Political Legal
1. Political Instability
The Philippines has and may continue to experience political instability, including strikes,
demonstrations, protests, marches, coups dtat, guerrilla activity or other types of civil disorder.
These instabilities and any adverse changes in the political environment in the Philippines could
increase our operational costs, increase our exposure to legal and business risks and make it more
difficult for us to operate our business in the Philippines.
2) SWOT Analysis
After the internal and external analysis, we will now summarize the strengths and
weaknesses of the internal management of Mang Inasal-Silang branch. We will also present the
possible opportunities that may be beneficial to Mang Inasal, as well as the threats, which may
hinder the continuous success of Mang Inasal.
a) Strengths
Competitors The management of Mang Inasal believes that do not have direct competitors in
the vicinity. They said that the Hap Chan, a Chinese-style restaurant situated near Mang Inasal, is
just their indirect competitor. Moreover, Jollibee is far away from Mang Inasal. MI has no direct
way.
Ambiance Like most of the branches of Mang Inasal, Mang Inasal-Silang branch showcases
the Filipino-style ambiance which entices customers to eat inside while feeling at home.
Halal Certified Being Halal certified is a major advantage of Mang Inasal among other fast
food chains. It is because our Muslim brothers can buy some of the products being served by
Mang Inasal. This in turn makes the target market of Mang Inasal to expand more.
Large Target Market Mang Inasal presents itself as a product to people from a young age of
three till as old as seventy. This way, it widens its target market giving the company an edge over
its competitors. The store accommodates a large group of people making it more enticing to visit
and patronize.
Endorsements Mang Inasal makes itself known through all the promotional tools possible,
from TV commercials, radio jingles, posters, print ads and billboards. Mang Inasal makes sure
that it makes itself present to the mass. Mang Inasal makes use of actors and actresses who
resemble the story of the beginning and success of Mang Inasal like Mark Bautista.
Brand Image After its partnership with Jollibee last November 17, 2010, Mang Inasals brand
image surely took on a notch. This in turn, added more profit to the company.
Locally-adapted Food Menu Which other fast food chain offers Enseladang Talong and
Pinakbet? None, right? Maybe except for those buffet-type of food business like Cabalen. Mang
Inasal offers Filipino dishes that are best partnered with their chicken, pork and fish products.
Local Market as Supplier One of the visions of Mang Inasal is to help the local community
where they in turn. Thus, in turn, they get their supply of banana leaves and bamboo sticks from
the local market of Silang. This helps the local community to grow as well.
Environment-Friendliness Mang Inasal uses a ducting system, which recycles the smoke
coming from the grills. Mang Inasal uses biodegradable materials and zero-waste management.
b) Weaknessess
Global Expansion Lack of in depth planning and research in the global expansion. Mang
Inasal failed to replicate its success in the foreign markets. Probably because it offers Pinoy-style
in Mang Inasal.
Filipino Culture Mang Inasal caters not only the Filipino people, but Mang Inasal caters
foreigners as well. The target market of Mang Inasal is Filipinos. They must also conform to
adapt to their other customers especially those who are not Filipinos.
Lack of Employee Motivation We learned from the manager of Mang Inasal that the only
benefit that employees of Mang Inasal get is free meal. We also learned that they dont have
regulars. Meaning, the crew are just contractual. We believed that this is a weakness of Mang
Inasal since for a company to get better results; its internal staff must also be satisfied.
Commissary Struggles Mang Inasal gets its supplies from a single unit JFC Corp. Yes,
having a strong commissary is strength but we must also take into consideration those times when
the company experiences commissary struggles like that of the recent issue faced by JFC Corp. It
c) Opportunities
Technological advances Since the generation today offers great innovations and almost
every business adapts them, it is a good opportunity for Mang Inasal to upgrade the
technology they are using. One of which, is to opt to use electric grills in grilling the
products instead of the traditional live charcoals, and in cooking the other dishes in the
menu.
Increasing number of offices The municipality of Silang is now rapidly being
urbanized. With the opening of offices chances for an increase in the market of Mang
be dissatisfied.
Night-shift employees It can be an opportunity to open 24/7 in Silang to cater this
market segment.
Fiestas and prominent events in Silang The Silang branch of Mang Inasal can have
public relations with the residents by engaging in the fiestas and in customer support
Holiday season The fast-approaching holiday season is a great opportunity for Mang
Inasal in Silang to attract more customers since many families and groups go out during
heavy rains, most people would prefer to stay indoors and not go out to eat.
Poultry-related diseases Since chicken is the main product of Mang Inasal's menu, any
MARKETING OBJECTIVES
To have our new product offering be known in the whole municipality of Silang as a healthy and
affordable meal that is best suited for health-conscious and price-sensitive individuals by the end of

fast food products provided everyone information about the health risks and unhealthy concerns of eating
them. For us to achieve sales goals and increase transactions, we will provide a new product that will
influence the costumers behavior and perception about healthy living. For the short run goal, new
product strategies will be provided to promote, draw, and capture health conscious customers to our new
healthy product line. For the long run goal, strategies to influence and encourage potential customers into

We want our target customers to know our product as a very affordable and
healthy value meal. The health benefits of Malunggay and Tuna will be the
key factors of the product in terms advertisements, packaging and pricing.
o Financials: We aim to target aggressively 30,000 servings of the product for
our first six months. We intend to price this at an introductory price of
PhP49.00 per serving similar to our Sulit Meals. Given the promotional
expenses that will be incurred during the introductory stage of our product, we
set a 60% additional margin and this will increase after the duration of the

expense and sales promotions expense) and other fixed costs. For the duration
of the promo, the total manufacturing cost should not exceed PhP20.00 per

o Timetable: The product shall be ready for launch in two months (December).
The taste test and evaluation will be done this coming October to randomly
selected customers, students and employees.
b) Place
The place or distribution of the new product of Mang Inasal will be just the same as
that of the original plan. There is nothing to change with the location of the branch.
Moreover, the Tuna and Malunggay Pasta will only be available in the Mang InasalSilang branch.
c) Promotion Mix
Advertisements The major proposals for the advertisement for the new product
are print ads such as tarpaulins, flyers, and road signs, as well as television and radio
advertisements. The picture below will be the proposed layout for the print ads.
Sales PromSSS
Sales Promotion To entice our target market to purchase the new product
offering immediately, different sales promotion strategies are to be done. First of these is
the three-month offer of Up-sized Pineapple Juice or Iced Tea to the customers who will
buy the product. This strategy supports the move of Mang Inasal to cater the healthconscious consumers since they will be given Pineapple Juice or Iced Tea for their drinks
instead of soft drinks. The said sales promotion strategy will also try to take advantage of
the Christmas and New Year season since the launch of the product is timed with the
holiday season.
Another sales promotion strategy that will be conducted by the management is the
distribution of coupons that will give discounts to the holders of the coupons.
Public Relations Mang Inasal will be participating in the upcoming major
festivities in the municipality of Silang, to enhance the public relationship of Mang Inasal
to the citizens of Silang.
Selling More efforts will be exerted for the selling of the product and a lot of
selling strategies will be done.
d) Price
The intensive research on the behavior of the target market done by the proponents
showed that the consumers of Silang are price-sensitive, and therefore, the management
should set a more affordable price for the new product offering. Taking into consideration the
ingredients to be used in the product, the proposed introductory price of our product is
PhP49.00 and will be lined with the Solb Sarap Meals offered by Mang Inasal.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
Awareness Level The expected awareness level that will be achieved by the new
product offering is 60% of the target market or 79,800 individuals after the six-month period of
doing advertisement efforts (e.g. flyers, print ads, and radio and television advertisements). If
ever the targeted awareness level will not be achieved despite the advertisement and promotional
efforts, the management will increase the number of advertising activities. The management will
focus more on achieving the targeted awareness level since most of the projections done by the
marketing team depends mainly on the success of reaching the target market and letting them
know about the new product offering.
Trial Purchase Level - As projected by our marketing team, the trial purchase level will
be 45% of the individuals who are aware of the new product offering or 35,910 individuals. This
estimate is based on the survey conducted by the marketing team and the result showed that at
least 45% would be adventurous enough to try the new product. If the targeted trial purchase
level will not be achieved, the management will be conducting free taste activities in the Silang
branch. The management are expecting this move to help reduce the risk factors that the target
market feels since the risk factors of newly offered products are very high.
Repeat Purchase Level Of the expected 35,910 individuals who will try our product,
25% or 8,978 persons will purchase the product again. If ever the expected repeat purchase level
will not be met, the management will try to assess the factors that brought about the shortcoming.
After evaluating the reasons, the management will implement corrective actions that may help
improve the repeat purchase level of the new product offering. Sales promotion activities like
free taste will most likely be conducted if expected repeat purchase level is not attained.

For the projected budget purposes, we get the total number of the age group 15-64
or the labor force group in the municipality of Silang, which will be our target market.
This age group sums up to 132,994 or 62% of the total population of Silang. For easier
computation, we rounded up the population to 133,000. This age group includes the
students, employees and other working individuals in the municipality of Silang. They
are also the ones who are more price-sensitive and are more health-conscious.
The expected awareness level that we expect after all the promotional efforts (e.g.
flyers, prints ads, television and radio ads) is 60% of the target market or 79,800
individuals.
Of those 79,800 individuals, 45% or 35,910 are expected to try the new product
offering of Mang Inasal. Of those who are expected to learn of our new product offering
and tried the product, an estimate of 25% or 8977.5 are expected to purchase again the
product.
Since the expected purchase frequency is one serving per month, we just simply
multiplied 8977.5 by 12 to get the projected sales volume, which is equal to 107,730
servings for the whole year.
The budgeted income stated is shown in the table above using the figures
computed in the above paragraphs.
