The notable buy one take one shawarma store and one of the easiest access to Middle Eastern food, Shawarma Shack, made an effort to visit the affected communities of the recent Taal Volcano eruption, particularly those in Tanauan City, Batangas. The company donated bottled water and relief goods to over 1,000 families in different areas.

This good effort came from the heart of Shawarma Shack founder Walther Buenavista's wife, Patricia Buenavista, who spent her early childhood in Tanauan City. It was disclosed that she has relatives residing in the area when the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) raised alert level 4 for Taal Volcano on January 12, 2020.


Multiple houses and livelihoods were destroyed since the volcano started erupting, forcing residents within the 14-kilometer radius from the main crater to immediately evacuate. This is when the bayanihan evidently blossomed among Filipinos—everyone, even in their own little way, lent a helping hand.


Shawarma Shack visited and gave aid to 170 families relocated to La Consolation College, 70 families at Daughters of Mary Immaculate School, 89 families at Tanauan Local Government Unit Evacuation Center, 120 families at Tapia Elementary School in Barangay Trapiche, 98 families at Jesus is Lord Christian School, 45 families at Tanauan City College, 250 families at Pamahalaang Sentral ng Hilagang Tanauan, 98 families at Ulango Elementary School, and 92 families at Pantay Bata Elementary School.

Tanauan City Vice Mayor Atty. Herminigildo "Jun-jun" G. Trinidad assisted the Buenavista family along with other Shawarma Shack volunteers during this relief operation.

One of the most popular and phenomenal love team in the entertainment industry, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo (Kathniel), penned another contract with today's fast rising brand in the shawarma industry, Shawarma Shack. Present during the contract signing were Shawarma Shack owners, Mr. Walther Buenavista and Ms. Patty Collantes together with the Kathniel love team. The signing was held at Revolver Studio, where the newest Kathniel Shawarma Shack television commercial was filmed under the direction of Mark Meily.




It was a momentous day for Shawarma Shack as the two of the renowned actor and actress renews their endorsement contract.  According to Mr. Buenavista, "We continue to believe in the strong influence of Kathniel in promoting our product that is why we never had second thoughts in renewing their endorsement contract with us."


Shawarma Shack, which is described as the home of the tasty and best value-for-money shawarma in the country or more precisely as 'Home of the Pinoy Shawarma", has been growing very fast that there are currently more than 300 stores nationwide and that's only in a three years period.

"Since we acquired Daniel and Kathryn as our endorsers, our franchisees have doubled, even tripled and in 2019, we are bound to open more branches nationwide. Indeed, we have grown so fast with Kathniel as our partners," Patty says.

Their tagline says 'The first and the original buy 1 take 1 shawarma in the Philippines', which they will hold on to that promise as they make the buy-one-take-one concept last forever.
