Nanay, Nanay Don't You Cry... Sa allowance ko pwedi pang mabuhay (Chowking TVC Jingle Lyrics , 1995)

The Chowking TVC from 1995 became a hit with its fun, catchy jingle that highlighted affordable meal options for students and budget-conscious diners. The ad featured a child reassuring his mother ("Nanay, nanay! Don’t you cry!") that he could survive on his allowance thanks to Chowking’s budget-friendly menu, listing meal prices as low as ₱14.50 to ₱29. The commercial effectively showcased Chowking as a go-to spot for affordable yet satisfying Chinese-inspired fast food, making it a memorable part of ‘90s Philippine advertising.

Lyrics:

Nanay, nanay! Don't you cry,
Sa allowance ko pwedi pang mabuhay
Dun sa Chowking, Mayron meal tig-29
Ang pansit 25 pesos lang 
16 pesos can buy Siomai
Merienda noodles, ₱24 lang inay.
Chicharap, ₱14.50!
Halo-halo, ₱25 only
Nanay, nanay to you I still...
affordable ang eatables sa Chowking!

Chowking TVC, 1995
