“The pandemic has resulted in global logistics challenges, as such building the resilience of our supply chain is as important as ever. One of the ways we achieve this is by working closely with agencies like the Bureau of Customs and the Manila International Container Port, ensuring full compliance with the agencies’ laws and regulations. This allows us to deliver the right snack at the right moment to consumers and retail partners in the different regions where we are available. We are thankful for this recognition from the BoC and MICP and aim to continue our best-in-class partnership for the Filipino consumers,” Salomon added.
The award was conferred on February 2, 2022 at the MICP offices by its officials District Collector Romeo Allan R. Rosales and Chief Customs Operations Officer Antonio Meliton Pascual.
