Sparkling Apple Juice

Is there no apple cider available in the Philippine grocery stores?

Cider is basically an alcoholic fruit soda, except in the US where cider refers to a type of unfiltered apple juice. "Hard cider" is what they call the fermented apple drink in the US. :)

Both the SM Supermarket and SM Hypermart don't have cider. Well, actually they do have Apple Cider Vinegar but I wanted the drink. No luck in the alcoholic drinks section so I settled for sparkling apple juice.

They had a grand total of one brand of sparking apple juice, Fresjus, although it did come in a nice bottle.

Fresjus
Sparkling apple juice is just carbonated nonalcoholic apple juice. It looks very similar to champagne if you pour it in a glass so it can be used as a nonalcoholic substitute for children and teetotalers.
