However, due to some unsettled issues they opened first in Bacolod. Then the 2nd store opened in Boracay and very soon in Iloilo. The Management already hired fellow Ilonggos and they were trained in Manila. Currently, the Starbucks Iloilo Team is handling the operations in Boracay.If not 4th quarter of this year it would be first month of 2011. Brewing very soon in the City of Love.
