Tanauan salesman Liberato Molina was recently inducted into Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI) Chairman’s Ring of Honor.
The annual program recognizes the top one percent of all sales leaders across the organization’s worldwide locations.
Together with his fellow 2023 inductees, Molina, currently on his 16th year as a PCPPI Braveheart, received the distinction in PepsiCo’s global headquarters in New York in June.
Molina said he was surprised to be chosen to be part of the Chairman’s Ring of Honor and he remains grateful for the support he has received from his fellow Bravehearts, and to the organization’s leaders from whom he still gets guidance and direction to this day.
To be part of the Chairman’s Ring of Honor also means that Molina is part of a group of exceptional sales personnel who were recognized for their significant contribution to growing the company’s business and building meaningful client relationships.
Molina is the key outlet manager in Tanauan, Leyte, and he was also part of PCPPI’s Ring of Honor Awardees in this year’s National Summit of Bravehearts in Manila.
He credits the strong sense of leadership that the company has instilled in him since he started.
“Leaders should never stop learning, whether it’s to develop their skills or in communicating with their teams,” he said.
His leadership style upholds PCPPI’s ICARE values, which stands for Innovation, Care and Respect, Empowerment and Excellence.
In his journey with the organization, Molina said he strives to imbibe all these values, especially Care and Respect as he acknowledges the impact his role has on his team.
Molina said that it is important that all members of the team understand the direction their organization sets, and that changes are inevitable in the spirit of progress and innovation.
“It is natural for the company to innovate, changes in direction, in guidelines, [introduce] new products. As leaders, we need to help all members of the organization understand this,” he said.
PCPPI exclusively manufactures and distributes well-known beverage brands in the Philippines like Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Sting, Gatorade, Tropicana, Lipton Ice Tea, Mug, Premier and Milkis.
In 2023, the organization started bringing Korean soju brand, Chum Churum Soonhari, to more Filipinos nationwide.
