Nestlé spouses support Gawad Kalinga

The spouses of Nestlé Philippines, Inc. (NPI) top executives  recently visited the Gawad Kalinga (GK) Village in Bgy, San Isidro, Lipa City which is sponsored by the company, to gain first-hand insights for finalizing support programs which they will implement to serve various needs of the community.

The spouses led by Mrs. Ying Miller, wife of NPI Chairman and CEO Ying Miller, were met by GK Village President Jhay Juniosa, after which they interacted freely with residents whose homes they visited. An informal discussion was conducted on areas of involvement for Nestlé’s GK initiatives, while the company’s then Lipa factory HR Head Eden Sagisi and HR Employee Relations Specialist Rex Ferrer presented possible activities for execution after the formal “turnover” of the GK Village to the factory. The programs will seek to focus on livelihood, agriculture and environmental initiatives, consistent with Nestlé’s corporate strategy of Creating Shared Value.

The group, which was accompanied by Ms. Ruth Novales and Mr. David Laurel of Nestlé Corporate Affairs, will return to the GK village with concrete program proposals based on a comprehensive needs analysis with the assistance of the company’s Lipa factory HR team. Recently, village residents received bicycle-powered sidecars known as “padyaks” for livelihood purposes, build by sales force of Nestlé Philippines during its annual team-building exercise and turned over to Gawad Kalinga.

Chef Fats Palma goes herbal at the JMK

Source: Malaya Business Insight

THE regulars that flocked to the Julius Maggi were in for a surprise.

The Julius Maggi Kitchen new format is styled ala live TV demo and talk show, complete with audience participation. Experimenting with hands-on engagement, this new JMK production breaks the ice, sort of, between an all-knowing Chef, and a wanna-be cook.

The most enduring relationship between two entities is necessity. Like the air we breathe, and the sun for warmth, humans need food. Now, a little variety and flavor would not hurt, either. That’s the spice of life, after all. In this instance, however, it’s all about herbs.

As a teacher of Culinary Arts and Commercial Cooking, Chef Fats Palma is not a stranger to addressing a class. The Chef however, could also put on a good show! Chef Fats dispensed information on herbs and cooking tips in seamless fashion.

It was Herbs 101 to introduce Cooking with Herbs starting with, Cucumber Raita. "Herbs are from small shoots or plants. That’s how they differ from spices that come from big trees. Herbs started as medicinal. Beyond stimulating gastric juices with flavor, most herbs have a purpose in the balance of health, doing positive things to our bodies," says Chef Fats. Cucumber Raita is a side dish and best prepared in advance.

Dispensing more herbs tips, Chef Fats tackled Grilled Chicken Breast with Rosemary. "Rosemary and oregano can be boiled and drank as tea, same as mint. Rosemary on the other hand, has a tendency to overpower the recipe and must be taken in small doses," she adds.

For Herb Noodle Soup, the Chef advises that it is important to sauté the ginger because it takes longer to extract its flavor. And for Tokwa’t Baboy Guisado, it is healthier to fry the pork in its own fat to lessen the cholesterol.

Much preferred to use fresh, herbs lose flavor the longer they stay in the pot, so to speak. In fact, most herbs, if cooked long, turn bitter. And herbs like parsley and cilantro lose flavor when dry, for example. However, rosemary, oregano and thyme increase flavor when dry.

Chef Fats says it is best to add the herbs in the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking.

NESTLÉ GLOBAL CEO AFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO PHILIPPINES

In a meeting with President Benigno Aquino at Malacanang Palace, Nestlé S.A. CEO Paul Bulcke re-affirmed the Nestlé Group’s commitment to the Philippines as the company celebrates its 100th year of doing business in the country.

Accompanied by Nestlé S.A. EVP Frits van Dijk, Zone Director for Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East, and Nestlé Philippines, Inc. Chairman and CEO John Miller, Mr. Bulcke is in the country for an update on Nestlé operations in the Philippines and to meet with public and private sector leaders.

“The global Nestlé family proudly congratulates Nestlé Philippines on its centennial. This is a remarkable milestone in its enduring mission to provide generations of Filipino families with tasty food and beverage products that promote nutrition, health, and wellness. We are deeply grateful for the trust that Filipinos have put in Nestlé brands through the years,” Mr. Bulcke said.

Mr. Bulcke said the Nestlé Group looks forward to the next 100 years of serving future generations of Filipinos with high-quality brands offering affordable nutrition. These brands are supported by Nestlé’s outstanding food and nutrition R & D capability, which is the largest in the world. “We will strive to continue to create shared value by working with leading stakeholders in society and by focusing upon nutrition, water management and rural development, all of which are areas that are particularly pertinent to our business. We take very seriously our corporate responsibility towards our shareholders, the local communities where we operate and the society that we serve. In this way we build long term sustainable businesses which benefit a wide range of stakeholders. This is the case both in the Philippines and globally,” he said.

Mr. van Dijk, who served Nestlé Philippines, Inc. for many years, said that the Philippines is a key market for Nestlé both in ASEAN and worldwide. Sales of Nestlé Philippines totaled PhP 92 billion in 2010, making it the 8th largest corporation locally. NPI currently has four factories manufacturing coffee, milks, chocolate energy drinks, cereals, infant nutrition products, ice cream and chilled dairy products.

A fifth Nestlé factory is under construction in Tanauan, Batangas, and will start operations in 2012. “As Nestlé Philippines marks its centennial, the ongoing construction of the Tanauan factory is a concrete re-affirmation of our commitment to the Philippines,” said Mr. van Dijk. Nestlé has invested over PhP 10 billion in the country in the past five years, with PhP 4.8 billion allocated for the Tanauan facility. The bulk of these investments have gone towards enhancing production capability to meet growing local market demand.

Mr. Bulcke said, “By opening a new factory, we are closer to our consumers and our valued customers. At the same time, we are able to enhance local economic activity by creating employment and business opportunities for partners and suppliers.”

Turning to global operations, Mr. Bulcke said that a significant portion of Nestlé’s growth has and will come from emerging markets, in which it is already strongly represented. Nestlé sales in these markets currently amount to CHF 39 billion or 35 percent of turnover, and are projected to grow to 45 percent by 2020.

“The Philippines continues to grow in importance to Nestlé. We believe that making long-term investments will help unlock the country’s great potential. The diversity and dynamism of Filipinos and the favorable demographic and economic growth trends mean that the country will continue to draw foreign investments which, I believe, will contribute significantly to its growth and development. Nestlé’s long-standing presence in the Philippines and our ongoing investments re-affirm our confidence in the country and our commitment to nurture future generations of Filipino families,” Mr Bulcke said.
