Subway Philippines debuts triple cheese steak sub with all-natural US cheeses

Limited-time offer blends US cheddar, Colby and Monterey Jack in a hearty steak sandwich

Starting August 6, Subway Philippines is serving a new limited-time sandwich that puts cheese front and center. The Triple Cheese Steak sub brings together an all-natural US cheese trio — cheddar, Colby and Monterey Jack — layered over seasoned steak and finished with white onion, green bell peppers, jalapeños, and Subway’s Southwest Chipotle sauce on freshly baked cheese bread.
The sub will be available nationwide until November 2, priced at P220 for a 6-inch à la carte, P410 for a footlong, and P230 for a wrap.

The launch event, held August 5 at Subway’s Axis Tower branch in Alabang, treated media guests to a first taste of the cheesy new sub. For the first time in the Philippines, Subway also introduced its cheese bread variant, now available across its local branches.
“We’re excited to feature USA Cheeses in this special sub, the triple cheese blend of all-natural US cheddar, US Colby and US Monterey Jack was a winning combination when we trialed it for recipe development,” said Benjamin Fong, head of culinary innovation for Asia-Pacific at Subway APAC. “We’re especially excited about this collaboration as USA cheeses featured are 100 percent natural, perfectly aligned with our commitment to offering healthier options for Filipino consumers.”
The collaboration with the USA Cheese Guild highlights the quality and versatility of American cheeses, from their meltability to their bold flavor. Jamie Lee, senior program manager for the Guild, said, “The US is the world’s largest single-country producer of cheese and offers a diverse variety of cheeses, including American Originals like the US Colby and US Monterey Jack, which are known for their incredible meltability, quality, and flavor. Filipino consumers are known for their love of bold, comforting flavors, and this limited-time sandwich is the perfect introduction to what makes USA cheese stand out.”
USA cheeses have earned global recognition, with US cheesemakers taking home 160 medals at the 2024-2025 World Cheese Awards and 83 medals at the 2025-2026 International Cheese and Dairy Awards.

At the launch, guests also sampled cheese pairings with beverages, including tropical fruit punch with creamy Toma by Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese, watermelon-ginger soda with US Pepper Jack, and iced tea topped with US cream cheese foam and US Gouda.
Attendees got a preview of the next collaboration, the Gouda Pineapple Ham, featuring award-winning U.S. Smoked Gouda, set to debut November 3 and run until January 13, 2026.
The Triple Cheese Steak sub is available at Subway branches nationwide until November 2.
