Executive Summary I. Business Description Business Description The difficulties that students encounter are part of the broader issue of food insecurity that many Filipinos experience. Almost 51 million Filipinos experienced food insecurity between 2020 and 2022, the largest number in Southeast Asia, according to a United Nations evaluation. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification states that people from low-income households are particularly impacted since it can be difficult to achieve their nutritional needs. The Philippines' rising rate of food insecurity also affects university settings, where students' limited funds and high living expenses make it difficult for them to obtain wholesome meals. The administration's lack of urgency in resolving these issues is shown by the fact that a number of crisis-related responses have used poor solutions. Mendoza (2024) PinBap or the Pinoy Triangle Kimbap adapts the Korean Kimbap triangle style, while incorporating pastil, kimchi, and vegetables for a healthy dish option. It's a fusion of Filipino and Korean cuisine that is affordable for the budget of the Filipino community. With the ongoing trend of Korean culture nowadays, better known as the Hallyu wave, the rise of the fusion of Filipino and Korean culture is in demand. This makes an opportunity for PinBap to enter the market boasting healthy ingredients, easy-to-eat, and easy-to-carry meal because of its eco-friendly packaging at an affordable price. The physical location of PinBap will be at Intramuros, Manila to capture more consumers. A well-known Korean cuisine called triangle kimbap, or samgak kimbap, is made of rice, veggies, and meat ingredients wrapped in dried seaweed. Kimbap is a great source of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and protein because it is loaded with a variety of fresh veggies. Furthermore, it's a complete meal that includes carbohydrates from rice, protein from shredded chicken, egg, and seaweed, and vitamins from the vegetables. Another notable Korean cuisine that will be integrated with PinBap is the Kimchi Rice which is a Korean type of fried rice. Kimchi is an essential component of Korean cuisine, a fermented and salty vegetable dish. Since kimchi is a fermented food, it includes beneficial probiotics like the lactic acid bacteria included in yogurt and other dairy products. Additionally, it can improve your gut microbiome, which improves general health. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, kimchi can lower the risk of developing certain serious health diseases like cancer, stroke, diabetes, and heart diseases (Liao & M. King, 2024). II. Market Analysis Through its accessible location in Intramuros, the target market of PinBap is residents from Intramuros, Ermita and Malate that value affordable, delicious, and sustainable food. There is a growing Korean cultural influence present in the market and favorable market conditions, though competition and moderate buyer power show challenges. To stand out, PinBap capitalizes on eco-friendly packaging, various promotions, and convenience to create brand loyalty. With careful analysis, the demand consistently exceeds supply due to the unique Filipino Korean fusion concept. The Philippines food market is forecasted to grow at a 7.04% annual rate through 2029. This shows that PinBap should capitalize on both cultural trends and the preference for convenient, affordable meal options of the population. III. Marketing Feasibility PinBap will have a physical store located beside Manila High School at Victoria Street Intramuros, Manila. Additionally, it will also sell on online platforms such as Grab and Food Panda to expand the market reach of PinBap.

While it's unique selling proposition is PinBap: Filipino-infused kimbap that's big on flavor, big on nutrition, yet small on price, since it's a fully packed meal yet at an economical price.
