Kesong puti (soft cheese) and pastillas de leche (dairy confectionery) were studied for their microbiological quality and their contamination with food-borne pathogens. Higher mean microbial counts were found in kesong puti with 5.1 x 10 colony forming unit (cfu)/g coliforms and 5.9 x 10 cfu/g yeasts and molds. Escherichia coli type 1 and Listeria sp. were isolated from Kesong Puti. Pastillas de leche samples had better microbiological quality with mean microbial counts of 3.4 x 10 cfu/g total bacteria, cfu/g coliforms and 8.5 x 10 cfu/g yeast and molds. The pastillas de leche samples were negative for all the food-borne pathogens investigated
