UnionBank has introduced the Star Course Series, a new initiative offering select Visa credit cardholders access to exclusive dining events curated by chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants.

The move follows the recent recognition of 108 local restaurants in the inaugural Philippine edition of the MICHELIN Guide.

Mukul Sukhani, UnionBank Head of Cards and Loans, described the launch as a celebration of Filipino culinary talent.

“The MICHELIN Guide’s arrival in the Philippines is more than a culinary milestone—it’s a moment of national pride. UnionBank is honoured to celebrate this historic achievement by giving our cardholders exclusive access to experiences that showcase Filipino talent on the global stage,” Sukhani said.

The series kicks off on 7 April 2026 at Celera, a Michelin-starred restaurant noted for its pan-Asian innovations.

Celera’s Filipino chefs Nicco Santos and Quenee Vilar will lead the collaboration. They will cook alongside Chef Zor Tan of Born, a one-Michelin-starred restaurant in Singapore celebrated for its contemporary cuisine.

Together, they will present a one-night-only menu designed to highlight modern Asian dining.

To secure a seat, UnionBank Visa Credit Cardholders can earn raffle entries through qualified dining and shopping purchases made between 18 December 2025 and 14 February 2026.

Cardholders must register via UnionBank TreatsHub to participate. Additionally, the top three spenders in both the dining and shopping categories will automatically receive reserved seats for two.

New applicants for the UnionBank Miles+ Visa Signature Credit Card can also receive automatic raffle entries upon meeting specific spend requirements.
