For Goodness Cake: The Story of Sweet Resilience As Told By Conti’s Employees

Cake has always been a signature of Filipino celebrations—a symbol of gratitude for the life of others. It serves as a gift and a reminder that one’s existence is special; cake is a universal item of love and appreciation.

When the pandemic struck, many of us were restricted within our homes, and getting together is not as easy as before. But distance did not stop us from celebrating our loved ones through a round cake at the center of the dining table.

Thanks to the “pasabuy” effort that is born from the spirit of bayanihan and resiliency among Filipinos, buying did not have to be risky and difficult. Not only does it support small-time businesses, it also opened an earning opportunity for people who lost their jobs amidst the crisis.  

Why Charlene Muhlach is always grateful for the gift of family

Her family keeps her happy, no matter how busy things may get

With the pandemic and the uncertainties happening in the world around us, it’s challenging to always stay calm and be positive. Sometimes it can feel hopeless even when you’re trying hard. But one thing stays unchanged: that our families will always be here to guide us, keep us sane and make us feel loved.

That’s why Jollibee ambassador Charlene Muhlach expresses a lot of gratitude for her family. Everyone does their part and share to spread good vibes and happiness at home, and she’s especially thankful whenever her family manages to spend time together and bond despite their busy schedules.

“I’m really just a family-oriented person,” Charlene says. “I’m grateful for their love and support for one another, spending time with them and being there for everyone is something I really value,” Charlene says.

Ajinomoto launches Virtual Experience: Be More where students and homemakers can learn about food safety, sustainability, and more!

Going on field trips or educational tours is one of the most exciting ways to learn. Before the pandemic, food factory tours were widely used as an avenue for interactive learning for students aspiring to be part of the industry. To replicate this activity, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) brings its factory tour online with the launch of The Ajinomoto Virtual Experience: Be More, this time not only targeting students but homemakers as well. Aside from a detailed tour around Ajinomoto’s factory, the virtual space is also packed with kitchen tips and games that everybody will enjoy.

“Meeting eager participants on factory tours is one of the things we miss during these times. More than sharing what we do, the tour has been an avenue for us to educate about food safety and proper nutrition, as well as to share our advocacy on environmental sustainability,” says Roann Co, APC’s General Manager of Marketing and Public Relations. “Now that we’re bringing it online, we are excited that we can reach not only those from NCR but students and homemakers nationwide empowering them to be more knowledgeable and responsible members of the community.”
