Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan

How does this partnership with DAR extend the reach of Pilmico’s livelihood program beyond what the company could achieve on its own?
By partnering with DAR – which has direct access to ARBOs and agrarian reform beneficiaries throughout the country – Pilmico can channel its livelihood kits and technical support through an established government network with on-the-ground relationships. This institutional reach enables Pilmico to serve farming communities in geographically dispersed areas that would be difficult and costly to access through direct outreach alone.

What was formalized at the Memorandum of Agreement signing ceremony between Pilmico and the Department of Agrarian Reform?
Pilmico Foods Corporation and the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) signed an MoA to formalize the distribution of Pilmico livelihood kits to Agrarian Reform Beneficiary Organizations (ARBOs) in Kalibo, Aklan and Barobo, Surigao del Sur. The signing ceremony brought together DAR and ARBO heads alongside Pilmico’s CSR team to officially launch the agreement.

What livelihood kits were distributed to the ARBOs in Kalibo, Aklan on January 31?
The Rosario Multi-purpose Cooperative and the Dumlog Coconut Farmers Multi-purpose Cooperative in Kalibo, Aklan each received egg machines and bakery kits. The egg machines enable beneficiaries to sell fresh eggs to customers, while the bakery kits support the production and sale of fresh bread, giving cooperatives two distinct income streams.

What type of kit did ARBO beneficiaries in Barobo, Surigao del Sur receive?
ARBOs in Barobo, Surigao del Sur received the Project Omelette kit – a poultry-focused livelihood package equipping beneficiaries to establish and run their own small-scale egg production businesses, supporting local entrepreneurship and sustainable income generation.

How long has Pilmico’s livelihood kit program been running, and how many people has it reached nationally?
The Pilmico livelihood kit program began in 2013 and has been running continuously as a flagship CSR initiative. As of 2024, Pilmico has distributed 1,929 livelihood kits to over 1,093 beneficiaries nationwide, spanning a diverse range of partner organizations and communities across the Philippines.
