Gearing up for growth
To my San Miguel Pure Foods Family,
Now, more than ever
is a very exciting time
to be part of the biggest
Filipino food Company
in the country.
We are starting to reap the benefits of the
transformational strategies and programs we have put
in place since we started our journey in becoming a
stronger and more profitable San Miguel Pure Foods.
In the first quarter of 2014, I am happy to report that
we have sustained our growth momentum and I am
confident this will continue for the balance of the year.
Now, more than ever is a very exciting time to be part
of the biggest Filipino food Company in the country.
Our various initiatives to improve operations and
expand our businesses will bring us closer to our goals
and make us stronger. Amidst many challenges, we
were able to deliver expectations because we were
supported by the strategies we have put in place.
Seven years ago, we laid out the groundwork for our
growth and we have continuously supported these
programs.
I would like to thank everyone for the hardwork,
dedication and commitment you have shown. We will
continue to implement and fine tune the programs and
strategies we’ve put in place to help us in reaching our
targets and goals.
Let us continue to excel in all things we do and be
the best we can be so we can secure the year ahead
of us. Live the values we have in the code of ethics,
delight our consumers, and look for ways to innovate
and keep ourselves ahead of competition.
Together, we will bring SMPFC to even greater
heights.

Process and Growth Initiatives
SMPFC Export Business: Bringing San Miguel Pure Fo
Export is one of the few sectors
that prove to be a success these
days. More and more companies,
conglomerates to small and
medium enterprises, are looking
and investing across continents in
new, and or emerging markets to
boost their bottom line.
But growth beyond the comfort
zone can be tricky. With global
business expansion posing
problems like building your
consumer base, market-entry
strategy, quality control, and tax
considerations that changes per
destination, has proven to be a
challenge in growing our export
business. But we’re not one to
back down.
(Right) Oscar R. Sañez, Vice President
for International Operations & Exports
Companies like us who are
seeking for bigger markets to
expand abroad are finding fewer
and fewer reasons not to go
global. Better financial systems,
looser trade restrictions and more
effective and cost efficient service
providers widen the opportunity to
compete globally.
For our Branded products we are
currently exporting to 22 countries,
namely Canada, Dubai, Saudi
Arabia, United Arab Emirates,
Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon, Oman,
Hong Kong, Singapore, Brunei,
Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Macau,
Australia, Japan, New Zealand,
Papua New Guinea, Italy, United
Kingdom and the Netherlands.
“We have increased our
distribution in particular within the
USA that has helped us grow our
numbers from 2010 to 2013. At the
same time, we deal directly with
one of the biggest distributors in
the Unites States”, said Eric Ortiz
of Branded Export.
Our Poultry export isn’t one to fall
shy. Our Magnolia Chicken export
started in 2003, exporting to Japan
and Kuwait. Generating one of the
highest revenues in 2011, we are
exporting a varied combination
of Poultry products under the
Magnolia Chicken Brand.
Creating new value added
products in the portfolio to secure
niche consumers in emerging
markets as well as Filipino overseas.
Much can be expected from our
poultry export business.

Getting a leg up on our
competition, our export business
raises our level of competence
and innovativeness in the global
market place. Winning trade
overseas is a foundational strategy
that kickstarts our growth in
new markets.
“Export is very exciting, we have
so many plans next year and
internally we are expanding to
further adapt to the growing needs
of the market. We will continue
to reach opportunities until we are
able to saturate the market with all
our brands”, said Ortiz.

Technology
understanding Demantra
With Irene Pacheco and Jericho Del Puerto
a. Why is there a need
for Demantra in SMPFC?
Demantra is a a web-based
forecasting software that enables
the Integrated Business Planning

a single repository of data related
to forecast.

c. How were we able to adjust
the software to cater to what the
branded business of SMPFC needs?
Demantra is based on the best
practice model thus SMPFC
embraced the core design.

made to ensure that specific
SMPFC business requirements
were captured.

forecasted by DEMANTRA to SMPFC?
Key stakeholders of the
integrated business planning, has
on their fingertips, the capability
to easily access the forecast at
level relevant to their function. For
example, sales can readily view
the forecast at the customer level.
The system is able to consolidate
key forecast data automatically
so users will spend less time in
creating reports and focus on
analysis.
Overtime, there is an expected
improvement in forecast accuracy
and service level thru lost sales
reduction and inventory write-off.
f. Who will the project
primarily serve?
Demantra is a cross-functional
tool used by Demand
Management Planning, Sales,
Marketing, Finance and Supply
Chain.
The Branded Business Cluster

system in the last quarter of 2013.
g. Who are the other companies
who have used DEMANTRA and has
proven it effective?

that have implemented Demantra
are Cadburry, Hormel, General
Electronics and Apple.
San Miguel Pure Foods partners with IBM
With contributions from Belle Pascasio and Rommel Del Rosario
Technology continues to
transform the space where we
work and play, and is a norm
in our daily life. In order to stay
on track with today’s fast-paced
business environment, we are
dependent on the capacity of
technology to make life a little
easier for us.
San Miguel Pure Foods signed
a five year strategic agreement
with IBM to optimize the delivery
of IT operation support and
efficiently address the computing
requirements of SMPFC, serving
thousands of users nationwide.
As the usage and adoption of the
transformational projects we’ve
implemented like Cybertron,
Demantra and SSC widens
throughout the organization,
it is increasingly becoming critical
to provide nationwide support
services for our IT-enabled
end users.
“DIT together with IBM will
provide a single point of contact
for IT support services required
by the Food Group. IT support
processes will be aligned to
the best practices and provide
actionable insights for continuous
improvements and innovation,”
said Rommel Del Rosario, IT
Infrastructure Manager.
The project will increase
employee productivity because
of the faster resolution of
computer-related breakdowns.
The project also aims to enhance
over all total IT end-user
satisfaction, given the clear and
simpler delivery of IT services.
“DIT partnered with IBM
given its capability to support
our sites all over the country,
enhance information security
and introduce efficiencies on the
delivery of IT services,” said Belle
Pascasio, AVP, Division IT.
Since its launch in October
of last year, DIT and IBM has
cascaded the entire project
throughout 160 sites across
the country.
Desktop Management System
is a fundamental IT service
contributing to how we timely
we conduct our day-to-day
business. “The flexibility offered
by this service can extend to
how we may manage our retail
footprint in the future or how
we may better collaborate with
each other regardless of physical
location,” explained, Rommel Del
Rosario. We plan, along with our
providers– SMITS and IBM, to
provide field or mobile personnel
a system where they can securely
and efficiently collaborate with
other business units anywhere
they may be.”

they provide is compelling, workrelated and value adds to every
employee’s career goals.
In any successful business, its
people are its strongest assets.
If you look far towards a global
fast moving consumer goods
company, these companies
don’t just hone the brands they
create; they hone the people who
create these ideas that make great
companies.
Employees must be equipped
with the right leadership,
management, and technical
skills to be able to deliver what is
expected of them and contribute
to the vision. San Miguel
Pure Foods University was born
to ensure that this requirement
for growth is met.
The San Miguel Pure Foods
University, Nourishing and
Nurturing Talents
In San Miguel Pure Foods, we
have our own school that’s aligned
with SMPFC’s envisioned future
of further growing and sustaining
its leadership position in the
industry. One of the key drivers of
achieving our vision is our people,
we have to make sure the training
The University is able to provide
resources where people can truly
communicate and learn. The San
Miguel Pure Foods University’s
vision is to be the benchmark
of people development in the
industry - to engage, develop,
leverage and move talents from
within through structured and
relevant programs.
In July 2010, the University
was launched and subsequently
created new schools and
integrated those that already
existed under the University.
Made up of 11 schools, with each
school that focuses on developing
the technical skills of our people
and supplanting them with
training that will enable them to
not only perform well, but excel
and exceed expectations.
The University is tasked to
oversee and synergize all the
training initiatives of the Company
to make sure programs and course
offerings are appropriate and
timely, based on present and
future needs of its businesses.
With the help of Internal Experts,
External Consultants and
Training Providers, the University
continuously conceptualize,
develop, and implement
purposive learning programs
that will enable employees and
business partners to perform and
deliver expectations.
Maximizing the skill set and
experiential knowledge that is
already present in the Company
through its set of key executives,
the University has also inculcated

the need for these key executives
to impart their knowledge to the
younger generation of SMPFC
employees. The University also
engages the expertise of various
third party training providers,
who have proven their excellence
in training various industries, to
impart on the company the best
practices to continuously be ahead
of our competitors.
San Miguel Pure Foods
University was built a home, with
six training rooms, three in each
floor, which depending on size can
accommodate 10 to a maximum
of 25 participants. The rooms are
also convertible to bigger rooms
that can accommodate up to a
maximum of 75 participants in
each floor.
To-date, since the launch of the
University in 2010, SMPFC has
invested over a hundred million
pesos in people development,
including PhP5M in the
construction and renovation of the
University building – a concrete
manifestation of management’s
commitment to developing a
culture of learning and excellence.
The Schools
The Poultry and Meats Live
Operations School was created
primarily for the technical
personnel of the Poultry and
Meats Business of San Miguel
Pure Foods. The school is
meant to establish a uniform
level of technical & operational
knowledge in the different
aspects of animal production for
new Production Specialists and
to enhance the competency of
personnel by providing continuing
education. The Core Competencies
(or specializations) managed by
the Live Operations School are:
General Animal Husbandry, Poultry
Husbandry, Hatchery, Swine
Husbandry, and Animal Health
(Swine & Poultry). Courses were
designed to deliver the required
levels of learning through lecture,
laboratory, guided readings, and
special projects.
The Feedmilling School In line
with the vision of becoming a World
Class Feed Manufacturer, was
revitalized by developing programs
and courses that will continuously
improve the knowledge and skills
of the Feeds Business technical
people. The School is mandated to
develop and deliver comprehensive
training programs in feed
production, for key personnel in
manufacturing and other related
units – understanding the feeds
manufacturing processes and
Good Manufacturing Practices
in feedmilling are fundamental
requirements for any job
assignment within the Feeds
Business.
The Poultry & Livestock
Slaughtering School to develop
the competencies of technical
people involved in slaughtering
operations. A team was organized
to define the curriculum and
courses that will deliver the
learning needs of the business and
help meet its goals.
The Monterey Meat Shop was
established before the University
was built. The school was folded
into it. The Monterey Meatshop
School was established to train
our business partners (franchisees
of neighbourhood meatshops) in
meatshop operations. Franchisees
and their crew are trained prior

Curriculum and course
development is currently on-going.
Wheat and Flour Technology
School is one of the pioneers in
technical training in the Food
Group, existing even prior to the
creation of the University. Recently,
the school was revitalized and
evolved to become part of the effort
to further develop the skills of San
Miguel Mills.

The School of Culinology is
managed by the San Miguel Pure
Foods Culinary Center who helps
different businesses of the Food
Group in coming up with nutritious
menus various product applications.
It conducts cooking lessons for
employees and the general public.
The Leadership and Management
School is responsible for developing
and implementing programs that
will hone the skills of executives,
middle managers, supervisors, as
well as high potential, rank-and-file
employees.
The Sales Academy was created
and launched in January 2012.
Originally, each Business Unit of
the Food Group has its own unit or
person in-charge of sales training —
San Miguel Integrated Sales (for the
Branded Business), Poultry & Meats
Sales, Feeds Sales, Flour Sales, and
Foodservice Sales.
The Academy promotes training
as an inherent function of Sales
and that real learning happens in
the field through demonstration
and repetition (continuous
practice, drill, and rehearse).
Classroom sessions will only be
for introduction of concepts and
debriefing.
The Sales Academy engaged the
services of consultants and experts
in diagnosing the sales organization
and in developing training modules
intended to enhance distribution
and account management, and
“train the trainers” in the process.
College of Precision Marketing,
as Marketing is one of the driving
forces in making the envisioned
future of San Miguel Pure Foods,
the College of Precision Marketing
was created, immediately after
the University was launched.
Consultants were engaged to
help developed the curriculum
and execute the programs. The
following competency blocks were
defined and became the anchor of
subsequent modules in up-scaling
the marketing skills of the Food
Group practitioners.
The Logistics School was also able
to hold one class Supply Chain
School in 2013. The focus areas
of the School are: Distribution
Planning, Transportation and
Warehouse Management.
The Management
Development Program
Every year, the Division Human
Resources along with the business
heads and general managers
nominates key employees from
our different business units
for a learning opportunity
through the San Miguel Pure
Foods University’s Management
Development Program or widely
known as the MDP one of the core
program of the SMPF University.
In the MDP classes, students
from different business units are
grouped together to harness crossfunctional knowledge in group
discussions, slicing through silos’
and promoting inter-BU teamwork
for four months. The classes run
for 12 sessions and the students
are supplied with case studies
that have been specially chosen to
have similarities to the structure
and the vision of the Company.
MDP Batch 2013
A lot of the case studies identified
supply our employees the
knowledge and information that
supports the Company’s business
thrusts.
“The program aims to develop
the management and leadership
skills of SMPFC employees. The
cases were carefully chosen to
reflect similar scenarios the Food
Group is experiencing or has
gone through in the recent years
and cases that could potentially
happen in our businesses, given
the fierce competition”, said
Alvin Ramos, SMPF University
Administrator.
It aims to give you a fresh
perspective and a first-hand

2014 SMIS NASCON: ISAPUSO, IPANALO, ITODO NA’TO!
SMIS was poised to hit the
ground running in 2014 as they

Convention in Megatent, Libis,
Quezon City, last March 7, 2014.
In one of the most anticipated
occasions in the Food Group’s
calendar, the event venue was
styled to the theme of Basketball,
inspired by the San Mig Super
Coffee Mixer’s PBA Back-to-Back
Basketball Championship in the

jostling and hustling you would
normally feel when you enter a
sports arena, only that you see
players in the SMPFC shirt jack

Winners of the photo contest
Code of Ethics: Our way of life
CENTERLINE
By: Joms P. Reyes, SMIS
The inspiration behind the photo is the customers we serve
and the co-employees we work with everyday. Customer centricity
is an integral part of selling we have direct contact with our end
users. We should value them as much as we value our families.
The photo also represents innovation and how we should also
be always on the lookout for new things and take the initiative on
learning, how to improve our products, our services and
our systems and find the methods that work. Our continuous
learning and drive for innovation will eventually contribute
to our bigger goals.
The straight lines, represents our path and direction, how we are
able to stay focused towards a bigger goal. The spiral curved line
represents our resourcefulness in consistently looking for solutions
that are “out of the box” – showing how resilient San Miguel
Pure Foods employees really are. The “steps” on the stairway
signifies that there really is no shortcut to success – the hurdles
we go through everyday will eventually bring us closer to the top.

everyone and broke the ice for the event. Kiddie
Christmas party is yearly party undertaken by PHCI

How can
contribute and help
the company
in 2014?
Michael G. Laranang
Live Operations, Central Luzon
Poultry / Growing Operations Head /
SMFI, San Fernando Pampanga
To be ahead of the competition,
I give value in delighting our
customers by providing them with
the best customer service and
technical assistance they need. Being
guided with the company’s ethical
standard of doing our
job, Central Luzon
Team is committed
in having the
initiative to go
beyond what
is expected
from us. Our
team’s aspiration
and passion for
achievements drive us to deliver all
the set objectives for the year. We are
committed in facing and overcoming
all the challenges ahead of us.

We must proudly live and share the
San Miguel culture of excellence and
malasakit as we fulfill our respective tasks
everyday. This allow us to share our talents
and encourages excellence in us and with
our fellow employees too.
Marice I. Cabico
Christine Guinto
As for me, there would be many
contributing factors to help our
company in 2014
just like in the
past years.
I also believe
that our
company
provides all
the necessary
interventions
and tools to all
its employees for the attainment of
its goal but I guess, more than the
knowledge that has been developed
and skills that were honed, the
most important thing in order to
help our company is the “Personal
Growth” or “Solid Values” in each of
us. Employees who have access to
personal growth will feel more valued
and feel they are growing personally
and professionally. These then, would
adhere to moral behavior and ethics
resulting to a sound business goal
attainment.
For me, the best way
to help the Company
this 2014 is to live up
to the value of teamwork, malasakit
and innovativeness. We should all work
together toward achieving a common
goal of contributing to the success and
profitability of the Company at the same
time putting into consideration the welfare
of our people. Even the smallest act or
effort will be of big contribution for the
success of the Company.

And as Product Development Specialist,
being innovative will always be the best
way to help the Company come up
with good and quality products that our
consumer will love and enjoy.

Supervisor /
The PurefoodsHormel Plant / Cavite
I will challenge myself
to work more efficiently
by finishing tasks within 8 hours to
avoid overtime. As a supervisor, I will
be a role model to others. We can
also help by conserving electricity
such as turning off lights, computer
monitors when not in use, and many
other small but valuable acts. This is
MALASAKIT in action.
