President of Allegro Beverage, Leo De Leon said that these coffee competitions in the last 12 years have highlighted the technical and creative skills of the barista Finalists in service presentation, creativity and passion for coffee. He notes that more than half of our past winners have relocated overseas for greener pastures as there is a large demand for experienced Filipino baristas in cruise ships, hotels, casinos, restaurants and coffee shops.
The objectives of these competitions are to promote the excellence and recognition of the barista profession, to increase the appreciation for specialty coffee especially Philippine Arabica beans and to raise the bar for Filipino baristas competing in world championships. Philippine’s highest ranking has been 13th place out of 60 countries at the World Barista Championships.
