This year’s competition gathered coffee professionals, producers, cuppers, and industry stakeholders from across the country with one shared mission—to elevate Philippine specialty coffee and recognize the hard work of our coffee farmers.

As an association, we are honored to see our members contribute beyond our province and take active roles on the national stage. May this inspire more coffee professionals from Region 12 to continue learning, serving, and helping build a stronger future for Philippine coffee.
Congratulations to the entire PCQC 2026 team, volunteers, cuppers, judges, and organizers. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of this meaningful journey.
