Mega Global Celebrates 3rd National Sardines Day
To add more meaning to the
National Sardines Day Celebrations, Mega Global showcased its various
initiatives that would help elevate not just the Philippines’ sardines
industry, but the economy and people’s lives as well, at a roundtable event
held on November 23 to kick off the celebration of the holiday on the 24th.
Alongside this, it has also shared the successful results of the Mega Bigay
Sustansya Program, which was done in partnership with Reach Out Feed
Philippines (ROFP), reflecting its deep malasakit
for Filipinos.
Marvin Tiu Lim, Michelle Tiu Lim-Chan,
Chris Fernandez, executives of the Mega Global conglomerate, alongside Dawn
Marie Cabigon, founder and director of Reach Out Feed Philippines were present
in the event to discuss how the Mega Bigay Sustansya program will bring
long-term gains to its program beneficiaries.
Mega Bigay Sustansya (MBS) is a CSR
program led by the Mega Tiu Lim Foundation that hopes to give a meal planning
and distribution program to over 881 children nationwide. The program has
supported children in six provinces nationwide for sixty days. Children ages 4
to 12 have received house-to-house delivery of meals every day that included at
least one sardines meal, made using Mega Global’s nutrient-packed high quality
sardines.
“Mega Bigay Sustansya is one way for us
to support communities who need us the most. Canned sardines is one of the
Filipinos staple foods throughout the years and through this program that
target to feed malnourished children all over the country, we hope to use the
same staple product to nurture the health of these children, and sustain it
through leave-behind materials that will help them prepare nutritious meals in
the long run,” Marvin Tiu Lim, Chief Growth and Development Officer of Mega
Global said.
On top of the updates on Mega Global’s
MBS program, Mega Global executives have also shared in the discussion how they
strived to continue elevating the sardine industry through innovations and the
building of new infrastructures. These expansions would maintain the double
digit growth of the company in 2022, allow it to create a more sustainable
avenue in producing their products, as well as create new products that will
surely be a hit to its customers.

conglomerate, alongside Dawn Marie Cabigon, founder and director of Reach Out
Feed Philippines were the speakers for the event, who discussed Mega Global's
innovation for its flagship product, sardines, its CSR effort Mega Bigay
Sustansya, as well as brand updates, and other pertinent information
For the past 46 years, Mega Global has
been leading the way in supporting Filipino communities through its investments
