About Lugaw Republic

LUGAW – the all time Filipino favorite food which has grown to be part of the Filipino culture. This is what pushed Bienvenido M. Cruz, Jr., Benjo, to introduce the branded well-designed and sanitary lugawan carts manned by uniformed and highly trained salespersons, bringing indigenous lugawan cart concept to a higher level, thus, Lugaw Republic was born.

In 2005, and with the money Benjo was able to save scouted for an investment. He inquired from SM Marilao and, as fate would have it, KISS King Balls franchise was available for the taking. In the same year, under the franchise system, Benjo decided that he could establish his own franchise. Hence, “Lugaw Republic” came to life, known as the Pambansang Lugaw.
