McDonald's Celebrates McSpicy Fans With The Launch of a New Twist: The Honey Mustard McSpicy

The Honey Mustard McSpicy is a new addition to McDonald's Philippines' renowned McSpicy range, giving fans a fresh spin on a beloved classic.  With a tangy-sweet twist, this latest innovation combines the distinctive spice and crunch of the now-available original McSpicy, further solidifying McDonald's dedication to adding new and intriguing flavors to its menu.

Fans of the original will still enjoy the crunch, juiciness, and distinct dose of spice that the Honey Mustard McSpicy offers, but it also adds an exciting new range of flavors.  A silky amber-yellow honey mustard dressing, flecked with visible spice particles that add a very gently flavorful, zesty finish, replaces the original's creamy mayo in this limited-edition version.  The marriage is passionate, sweet, and completely irresistible—all the right notes.

“The McSpicy has always held a special place in our customers’ hearts. With the Honey Mustard McSpicy, we wanted to surprise fans with something familiar yet refreshingly new — keeping the signature spiciness they love while adding a sweet twist that makes every bite even more exciting and flavorful.” ~Ashley Santillan-Delgado, McDonald’s Philippines Marketing Director

By reinventing one of its iconic dishes, McDonald's is proving that even timeless dishes can be transformed into delectable new versions.  Honey Mustard McSpicy invites both beginners and ardent fans to explore the flavor explosion that only McDonald's can offer.

Beginning on October 29, 2025, the Honey Mustard McSpicy will be a limited-time item at all McDonald's restaurants nationwide.  It is offered in addition to the original version for delivery, drive-thru, takeout, and dine-in, either alone or as a meal with fries and a drink.

McDonald's builds on the excitement today by introducing the Honey Mustard McSpicy, which gives fans not just a resurgence but also an improvement on the iconic burger.

McSpicy Hall of Flame

The introduction of the new Honey Mustard McSpicy and the return of the legendary McSpicy are McDonald’s Philippines’ ways of celebrating their customers. And to further reward their loyalty to the McSpicy, McDonald’s inducted five of the most loyal die-hard fans to the McSpicy Hall of Flame, “a (digital) wall of legends for the ultimate McSpicy fans...where the boldest, hottest, most loyal fans get their spot in McDonald’s history.” First batch of awardees include Jae Acosta (dubbed “Day One Devotee”), Kaye Lantoria (dubbed “Lunch Break Loyalist”), Joyce Avelino (dubbed “Faithful McSpicy Seeker”), Migi Rivera (dubbed “Consistent Commitment King”), and Joanne So (dubbed “Enlightened Spice Convert”).

McDonald’s also organized the McSpicy Challenge in some of its branches in Quezon City. Fans competed to eat a McSpicy Sandwich in record time without any drinks. Dubbed “Speedy Spice Slayers,” these fans were also inducted in the McSpicy Hall of Flamers: Christian Castillo (45 seconds), Joey Basbas (45 seconds), Mark Desamito, Jr. (1 minute 7 seconds), Khen Maichele Mendoza (1 minute 9 seconds), Mark Abulo (2 minutes 3 seconds), and content creator Papi Louie (2 minutes 6 seconds).

BingoPlus sets the stage ablaze with the ultimate music fest to unite sports and entertainment

Beyond golf and entertainment, the International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus, empowered Philippine sports and athletes.

With the conclusion of the largest music festival of the year, "Swing for Filipino Sports Dream," sponsored by International Series Philippines presented by BingoPlus, at the ASEANA City Open Grounds on October 25, 2025, the nation's top digital entertainment platform is back at it again.

Massive and explosive energy was generated by the festival's stellar lineup, as both local and international icons energized the audience.  The event's atmosphere was elevated to new heights by the appearance of Norwegian DJ Alan Walker and Filipino icon Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas.

Bamboo, Parokya ni Edgar, Urbandub, Lily (formerly known as Callalily), Sandwich, and more were added to the schedule. EDM musicians DJ Kiara, Arthur Tan, Hoest, and others also performed amazing performances. The event was made much more memorable by the magnificent stage design, amazing fireworks, and dynamic lighting.

At the music festival press conference, invited media also had the chance to interview the featured artists.  The International Series was brought to the nation in large part thanks to BingoPlus, for which the guest performers were grateful. Additionally, they expressed how thrilled they were to be performing at such a distinguished occasion.

“What I hope everyone would go home with is a sense of joy in their time going to the festival — not just for my part but for others in the line-up. I think the most important thing for me is that they go home feeling good.” ~Alan Walker

A lively introduction was also given by Geir Michalsen, Deputy Head of Mission at the Norwegian Embassy in Manila, who promoted greater travel and cultural exchanges between Norway and the Philippines while showcasing Norway's dynamic culture and picturesque locations.  After that, he got the audience excited for his fellow Norwegian DJ Alan Walker's appearance.

As we conclude this milestone event, marked by such a grand and popular tournament, we want the ISP experience to end in true BingoPlus fashion — fun, entertaining, and memorable.” ~Mr. Jasper Vicencio, President of BingoPlus

Moreover, attendees were treated to delightful merchandise, engaging booths from BingoPlus, the BingoPlus Foundation, ArenaPlus and GameZone, and free snacks, plus a raffle with a prize pool of five million pesos (₱5,000,000) in cash. Mr. Vicencio led the raffle draw, announcing the lucky winners. 100 participants took home ten thousand pesos (₱10,000) each, while four became instant millionaires, winning one million pesos (₱1,000,000) apiece.

The event's contribution handover was another highlight, as the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) received eight million pesos (₱8,000,000) from International Series Philippines, BingoPlus, and its social development arm, the BingoPlus Foundation.  This program advances the organization's goal of empowering local sports and promoting Filipino talent and expertise to a global audience.
