Adapting to the needs of its customerzs in the 

changing business environment, the Jollibee Group opened its first cloud kitchen in 

Singapore today, August 10, 2020, for its Jollibee brand. Cloud kitchens are unmarked 

food production and delivery hubs without any dine-in facility in discreet and lower rent 

urban locations.

The opening of Jollibee Singapore’s inaugural cloud kitchen comes as demand for its 

food delivery continues to grow significantly. The business contribution of Jollibee 

Singapore’s Delivery has more than quadrupled compared to last year – from 10% in 

2019 to 45% in 2020.“

The Jollibee Tampines Cloud Kitchen employs the same heightened safety standards that can be seen in all Jollibee Singapore outlets. The crew wear masks at all times and follow physical distancing and stringent food safety protocols.

As cloud kitchens roll out, we will be able to reach more consumers and fulfill more 

orders. The Jollibee Group is able to expand more quickly and cost-efficiently through this 

innovative store model, while maintaining the same safety and quality standards of our 

food,” said Ernesto Tanmantiong, Chief Executive Officer of the Jollibee Group.

The cloud kitchen in Singapore is the third cloud kitchen to open in the Jollibee Group, 

with more slated to open soon. Cloud kitchens are part of the Jollibee Group’s overall 

transformation strategy to adapt to new customer habits and meet the continued strong 

demand for delivery amid the pyandemic.

Jollibee Group opened its very first cloud kitchen in the UAE last March, which continues 

to outperform targets. In the US, its recently opened cloud kitchen in Chicago’s bustling 

River North neighborhood was also well-received.

Tampines is a residential area in the region of Tanah Merah located in the East Region 

of Singapore. The Jollibee cloud kitchen in Singapore is open from 10 am to 8 pm.

Remaining resilient amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI)—the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country—is assuring the public of unhampered operations despite challenges brought about by the sudden return to Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine in so me parts of Luzon. 

Since the company is engaged in the business of manufactu¬ring and distribution of basic commodities, PCPPI is tasked to continuously operate its manufacturing plants for products such as water, juices, hydration drinks, and other carbonated beverages. 

“We are seeing one of the longest community quarantines in the world. Our company is continuously functioning in a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) environment and we are always anticipating regulatory and socio-economic changes to be able to minimize the impact of risks and decide quickly if and when necessary,” PCPPI president and CEO Frederick D. Ong.

In sustaining its operations amid uncertain times, PCPPI established an Emergency Response Center and created an Emergency Response Team to serve as the company’s first line of defense should there be a disaster or crisis situation. The company also reinforced its Emergency Response Procedure to institutionalize the steps to be undertaken to mitigate the adverse effects of natural occurrences that companies and humans have no control over, such as the coronavirus.

“This Emergency Response plan is that which allows us to continue moving forward. As we are starting to recover, we rely heavily on our response mechanism to address the pandemic and normalize the business. We are ready to effectively tackle the challenges posed by the current socio-economic environment” explained Ong. 

“PCPPI is now operating via new ways of working with systems we never thought possible before. We are adjusting quickly to the changing needs of our people, customers, and other stakeholders while managing financial and operatio¬nal difficulties,” Ong said.

As early as January, even before community quarantines were enforced in different areas in the country, PCPPI already ordered thermal scanners, face masks, and alcohols for its employees’ supplies. In February, the company has also installed foot baths in its offices nationwide. In the midst of the lockdowns, PCPPI plants organized donations to various health facilities, hospitals, checkpoints, and LGUs across the country. Part of the company’s disaster response also focuses on the needs of the 

“PCPPI’s resiliency and recovery plan also involves sustaining the livelihood of families and communities we are at in times of emergencies and disasters. Among the programs we initiated is providing full support to our Entrepreneurial Distribution System (EDS) Operators and wholesaler partners to ensure that our products reach the small and medium-size enterprises and sari-sari stores even during community quarantine. We also implemented phone selling or “telsells” to create additional avenues to reach our distributors and consumers who cannot go out of their homes,” said Ong.

“Now that we’re living in uncertain times, and as the rest of the world begins to shift to the new normal, having a strong, efficient, and holistic disaster preparedness, management, and recovery plan becomes all the more relevant. We remain committed in helping build a more resilient country through our products and best practices,” said Ong.

A look back at how some Filipinos proved to be the guiding light in the time of COVID and what’s next for a community rebuilding the society through helping each other.

The last few months were indeed challenging not only for us here in the Philippines, but globally. As we continue to face the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects that completely altered the normalcy we used to know, almost everyone feels that they are in the dark and without hope. SkinWhite, a pioneering whitening brand stood out by bringing light not just to whiten skin but to bring the light of hope to everyone through its #BeTheLight campaign. This envisioned to champion togetherness with everyone, either by group or individual, to be the beacons of light in these trying times.

#BeTheLight campaign supported the good causes of several individuals and organizations through donation. Selected individuals were Marielle Solomon of Siargao Community Kitchen which  aided more than 4,000 families in their community and neighboring barangays, Barangay Holy Spirit PWD Association’s president Sarah dela Rosa whose efforts were recognized even outside their area, Pia Alviola of Project Love who was able to donate more than 2,000 protective equipment to frontliners, Melissa Olit of Aiza’s Community Kitchen reached more than 15,000 beneficiaries, and Angela Lapinosa’s team for RiceAboveCovid, were able to provide more than 300 help packages. 

SkinWhite also reached out to several organizations to work together to #BeTheLight to more people across the country. These organizations were Save San Roque Alliance, an organization that provided meals to families in Sitio San Roque, North Triangle, Quezon City, #SilogForACause, a group who prepared silog meals for frontliners and volunteers, Tulong Kabataan Volunteer Network, bikers turned donors of Life Cycles PH, FoodTray2Go, Act as One PH, Juan Spark Youth Leaders, and Project PEARLS (Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, and Smiles) who have put smiles on children’s faces amidst the pandemic and the discomfort caused by the enforced quarantine. SkinWhite amplified their efforts by sharing their stories nationwide through social media with the hope that many people will be inspired to join in their causes. 

Aside from individuals and organizations, the light also transcended to SkinWhite’s trade partners. The brand’s display rental fees were converted to augment the needs of each of the participating store’s dedicated frontliner employees. Relief packages including essential goods and SkinWhite products were prepared and given to them. Through this, SkinWhite and its trade partners were the light that gave these hardworking frontliner employees more encouragement and motivation during these hard times. 

Everyone can share the light, and #BeTheLight.

As the #BeTheLight initiative heralds the value of working hand-in-hand, SkinWhite creatively thought of more ways to have more people on board in the mission to share the light. Different people were asked to write and send words of encouragement and appreciation to our kind-hearted volunteers and frontliners. This is to make them feel that they are not alone in this fight and that they are truly appreciated! These personal messages were included on the daily essential packages which SkinWhite prepared for them.

#BeTheLight aims to have brighter days ahead for everyone

#BeTheLight campaign proved that by coming together, significant and brighter results are sure to radiate among communities and neighborhoods. And just like light, it continues to transcend to everyone. This initiative is a reminder of hope, not only for frontliners, volunteers, and those affected by the pandemic, but for everyone who needs hope as we all bounce back from these trying times.

Now more than ever, SkinWhite will continue to #BeTheLight by giving hope and encouragement to more individuals and organizations to continue on with the cause to bring brighter days ahead!
