True nourishment extends beyond the bag; it thrives on shared knowledge and collective action.
Guided by its brand promise, “Together, We Nourish the Future,” Aboitiz Foods, through its subsidiary Pilmico Foods Corporation (Pilmico), supported initiatives across the Philippines that promote animal health and biosecurity and support livelihoods.
Embodying the core value of responsibility, Pilmico worked alongside local governments and communities to champion responsible animal care, livestock production, and disaster resilience – bringing its commitment to creating shared value through knowledge-sharing, community empowerment, and volunteerism.
In March, as part of the nationwide observance of Rabies Awareness Month, Pilmico donated Maxime pet food and participated in veterinary missions, pet vaccination drives, and information campaigns, promoting safer communities for both animals and people.
Continuing its efforts to empower livestock communities through education and knowledge-sharing, Pilmico also conducted a series of Seminar Blitz in Samal Island, Davao Del Norte and Baybay City, Leyte. Implemented in partnership with city agricultural offices, the seminars focused on animal health management, disease prevention, responsible backyard livestock production, and African Swine Fever (ASF) awareness.
“We believe prevention is always better than a cure. We conduct these seminars to help every farmer gain confidence to minimize losses and maximize herd performance,” said Veterinary Services and Technical Specialist Dr. Jayenne Daladar, adding, “Through knowledge-sharing, we are building a foundation of trust that drives higher productivity, increased income, and a more sustainable future for our farming communities.”
In Iligan City, Pilmico also extended assistance to animals affected by Typhoon Basyang by providing hard SBF horse feed to help sustain livestock and companion animals impacted by the typhoon.
From supporting nationwide health campaigns to mobilizing localized biosecurity seminars and disaster relief, Aboitiz Foods translates corporate values into measurable community impact. Read the full story here.
