What’s New?
Carlsberg’s massive regional campaign spanned Cambodia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Vietnam — uniting passionate supporters through a shared love for The Reds. From jaw-dropping installations and exclusive beer promotions to rare appearances by Liverpool legends, the brand proved once again it knows how to stir fan spirit with style.

One of the campaign’s most talked-about features? The launch of the limited-edition Miracle Can, a tribute to Liverpool’s legendary 2005 Istanbul comeback. Fans everywhere snatched it up as a symbol of resilience and pride — turning a beer can into a cultural keepsake.

According to Arindam Varanasi, Commercial VP of Carlsberg Asia, “This campaign ignited football passion across cultures, showing the strength of Carlsberg and Liverpool FC’s shared legacy. The energy in Hong Kong and other cities showed how powerful immersive brand activations can be when executed with creativity and heart.”

A Hong Kong Takeover for the Ages
The heart of the campaign beat loudest in Hong Kong, where Carlsberg pulled off a showstopping series of activations. On the iconic Avenue of Stars, the “Walk of Fame” exhibition honored Liverpool FC’s rich history and fanbase with a bold CHAMPIONS lightbox against the dramatic Victoria Harbour skyline — a magnet for selfie-happy supporters.

But that was just the start. A Carlsberg-decked sailboat featuring the brand’s signature hop leaf and Liverpool’s Liver Bird glided across the harbor, while an open-top “Champion” bus turned heads around the city. Lan Kwai Fong’s nightlife strip became a full-blown Reds sanctuary, hosting a Carlsberg-fueled party that fans won’t soon forget.

And just when things couldn’t get more legendary, LFC icons Sami Hyypiä, Jerzy Dudek, Lucas Leiva, and Niamh Fahey made surprise appearances, delivering heartfelt thanks and sharing what the club means to them personally.

Jeff Chong, Director of International Premium Brands at Carlsberg Asia, summed it up: “We tapped into something bigger than a tour — we tapped into community, passion, and legacy. The fan response proved that this wasn’t just a marketing event — it was a movement.”

About the Company
Carlsberg Group was founded in 1847 by brewer J.C. Jacobsen and has grown into one of the world’s top brewery giants, operating in over 125 markets with 37,000+ employees.

RDF Feed, Livestock & Foods, Inc. is a fully integrated agri-food enterprise in Central Luzon, Philippines that owns and operates several poultry and swine farms and industrial facilities such as feed mill, slaughterhouse, meat-cutting and meat processing plants, a chain of meat shops (under the brand name of Fresh Options Meatshop), and restaurants.  Its mission to serve customers well goes beyond offering high-quality meats. It is about delivering a promise of excellence and safety.

Central to this commitment is the meticulous work of its Technical Services and Quality Assurance (TSQA) Department, the backbone of the company’s core to uphold safe, clean, and unparalleled quality across all products.

What Is Food Safety and Why It Is a Continuing Challenge

Understanding the complexities of food safety is crucial for maintaining RDF’s industry-leading standards.

Food safety includes all strategies and processes employed to prevent foodborne illnesses and ensure food products are safe for consumption.

This is particularly challenging in the meat industry due to the susceptibility of meats to microbial contamination and spoilage. Additionally, the global trade in food products requires adherence to a complex array of international, national, and regional regulations that are frequently updated.

As consumer expectations evolve, so do RDF’s efforts to meet and exceed them. After all, today’s consumers are becoming increasingly well-informed about the food they eat. When it comes to buying meats, factors such as freshness, origin, and especially safety are paramount.

Food safety certifications play a crucial role in influencing consumer decisions. Certifications like FSSC 22000 show consumers that the meat they buy has been produced in compliance with internationally recognized food safety management standards.

These certifications are not just logos on packaging—they represent a commitment to ongoing compliance and safety that involves regular audits and continuous improvement. By ensuring these standards are met, the TSQA team helps build consumer trust and loyalty, setting itself apart in a competitive market.

RELATED: RDF is Food Safety System Certified Anew

The Role of the TSQA Department in Ensuring Meat Safety and Quality

RDF prioritizes expertise and specialized education within its TSQA Department, with 82% of the team holding college degrees, and 40% specifically in Food Technology, highlighting a strong focus on food safety and quality assurance. This educational investment in the workforce is complemented by a diverse range of expertise from various related fields, ensuring a comprehensive approach to quality control and operational excellence.

As its mandate, TSQA oversees every aspect of production from farm to store:

• Live Operations: The team focuses on the quality and safety of the animal feed used at the feed mill, supported by comprehensive health monitoring and diagnostics at the farm level conducted by Biolab, RDF’s in-house testing laboratory.
• Central Depot Operations: Here, the journey from slaughter to packaging is managed precisely. The department ensures all staff, supplies, and processes comply with safety standards, using sensory evaluations and rigorous testing to maintain product consistency and quality.

• Retail Operations: At the retail level, TSQA guarantees that all products of Fresh Options meet established food safety standards and that staff adhere to strict hygiene practices through regular training and audits. The department upholds rigorous food safety, hygiene, and sanitation practices, including scientific handling, preparation, and storage methods to prevent illnesses and manage health hazards.

• Restaurant Operations: TSQA implements a comprehensive Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system to control physical, biological, and chemical risks throughout the supply chain, supported by the FSSC 22000 certification which governs food safety risks and compliance with quality requirements from raw materials to finished products. All staff undergo ServSafe training, accredited by the American National Standards, ensuring adherence to the latest food safety protocols.

Even with the most stringent protocols in place, the company remains vigilant and responsive to the needs of its customers. Quality audits are also integral to maintaining high standards of food safety and quality. These audits are conducted weekly and cover all aspects of the operation—from the feed mill and slaughterhouse to processing plants, and retail stores.

Each audit is carefully planned and executed to assess compliance with both internal standards and external regulatory requirements. The scope includes everything from biosecurity measures to ensure no cross-contamination occurs, to operational procedures that guarantee consistent product quality. Audit results are used not only to confirm compliance but also to identify opportunities for improvement, making sure that TSQA’s commitment to quality is proactive and responsive to the latest industry developments and challenges.

These practices, combined with a mission to set high standards and provide reliable quality assessments, ensure that all products of Fresh Options meet the highest standards for safety and quality, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to excellence.

Moreover, the TSQA Department has established a robust process for handling complaints that begins with a thorough documentation of the complaint details, followed by a systematic investigation to identify the root cause. This involves reviewing CCTV footage, conducting interviews with relevant personnel, or reexamining production records.

Once the cause is identified, corrective actions are formulated and implemented to prevent recurrence. Communication with the customer is maintained throughout the process to assure that they are satisfied with the resolution. This approach not only resolves individual issues but also contributes to the overall quality assurance strategy, helping to prevent future complaints and enhance customer satisfaction.

Upholding the Highest Standards

As the guardian of quality and safety, the TSQA Department is more than just a functional unit within RDF.  It is the very foundation of the company’s commitment to excellence. Through its strategies, TSQA ensures that every piece of meat processed and sold surpasses the rigorous standards expected by customers and regulatory bodies alike.

The effectiveness of the TSQA Department is not limited to maintaining standards; it extends to enhancing the trust and loyalty of customers. By integrating advanced safety protocols, conducting thorough quality audits, and addressing customer feedback effectively, TSQA plays a crucial role in driving continuous improvement throughout the company. This relentless pursuit of excellence sets RDF apart in the competitive landscape of the meat industry, making it a leader in food safety and customer satisfaction.

Through its unwavering dedication to quality, TSQA not only upholds RDF’s reputation as a top-tier provider of safe, high-quality meats but also reinforces its promise to customers that they are receiving the best products available. This commitment to excellence is encapsulated in the company’s Pledge of Quality, emphasizing quality at every stage of operation.

Dr. Lo drew on his entrepreneurial experiences to urge the country’s future veterinarians to “strive for your peak and achieve greatness.” He shared three guiding principles that served as a foundation for establishing and managing his agri-food enterprise.

The guest speaker was a Finalist in the Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY) Philippines 2022, a project of the SGV Foundation. He finished his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1983 at UP Diliman.

Here is the text of his speech.

#1 Turning Crises into Opportunities

My journey began with a simple love for animals. Growing up, I owned many pets, which ignited my passion for veterinary medicine. Initially, I enrolled in a pre-med course at UST, but I soon realized that becoming a doctor was not my true calling. Following my heart, I applied to the UP College of Veterinary Medicine in 1979 and was accepted, which turned out to be one of the happiest moments of my life.

After graduating in 1983, I faced numerous challenges. My dream of pursuing a master’s degree at UC Davis was shattered when my US Visa application was rejected. This rejection was a big blow, leading to a period of sadness and frustration. Shortly after, I started small business ventures like an animal clinic and a quail farm, which unfortunately also failed.

However, I soon realized that these failures were not the end; they were lessons preparing me for greater challenges.

In 1986, I, along with a group of classmates from the College of Vet Med, became a contract grower for San Miguel Corporation in San Simon, Pampanga, and later, I started a poultry farm in Bacolor, also in Pampanga, with my brother. Despite our clashes and difficulties, we successfully expanded our operations. However, the challenges did not stop there, when the Asian Crisis hit us hard in 1997, I lost almost 13 million pesos in a month. 

In 2000, there was rampant dumping of chicken leg quarters into Subic and Clark and we at the United Broiler Raisers Association or UBRA lobbied for the illegal importation of chicken parts to save the local poultry industry. Thank God, the then DA Secretary Edgardo Angara listened and implemented the ban.

From these experiences, I learned the importance of resiliency and collaboration in overcoming challenges.

So, dear graduates, as you step into the real world, remember this: Every crisis you encounter is not the end of the road but a detour, a redirection towards something greater. When you face obstacles, don’t see them as impassable barriers but as challenges that test your resolve and creativity.

Innovation often springs from adversity. It’s in these moments that you discover your true potential. Embrace these challenges, learn from them, and let them guide you towards new opportunities. The path may not always be smooth, but it’s the bumps along the way that build character and resilience.

#2 Pursuing Your Passion

Passion has been my driving force throughout my journey.

After overcoming the Asian Crisis, I diversified into hog farming and later ventured into retail with Fresh Options Meatshop. These businesses were driven by my love for what I do and a continuous desire to improve.

While managing these businesses, I realized the importance of continuous learning. I pursued a master’s degree in entrepreneurship at the Asian Institute of Management, which opened my eyes to new possibilities and improved my business acumen.

Reflecting on these experiences, I understand the profound impact that passion and a desire for continuous learning can have on one’s career and personal growth.

Steve Jobs once said, “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.” This quote has always resonated with me. It embodies the spirit of passion and continuous learning. Being curious and embracing new challenges keep us moving forward and always striving for excellence.

Dear graduates of 2024, I urge you to find what truly ignites your spirit. Passion is the fuel that will drive you through the inevitable ups and downs of your career. It transforms work into something much more meaningful. When you love what you do, it never feels like work. Passion is not only hard work. It is also “heart work.”

But remember, passion alone is not enough. Pair it with a hunger for knowledge and an open mind. Never stop learning. Whether it’s through formal education, on-the-job training, or personal hobbies, keep feeding your curiosity. Read books, attend short courses, learn and adapt to new technologies – these are just some of the many ways how you can improve yourselves. Always be on the lookout for new opportunities to grow and evolve.

#3 Leading with Empathy

Empathy has been a cornerstone of my leadership. In our company, RDF, we put a premium on quality and we value trust and respect. I empower my team to make decisions and give them my full trust. I believe understanding people’s emotions and placing oneself in their shoes is crucial for effective leadership.

A study by the Harvard Business Review found that leaders who exhibit empathy and emotional intelligence significantly outperform their peers. Companies led by such individuals saw a significant increase in employee engagement and productivity. This shows the importance of empathy in leadership.

Life is not always fair, but we must adjust and find solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Being empathetic and understanding the perspectives of others enable us to make better decisions and lead more effectively. I have always believed in training my team to be leaders, empowering them to make decisions, and fostering an environment of trust and mutual respect.

Through these practices, I’ve seen firsthand how empathy can transform teams and drive success in ways that purely transactional leadership cannot.

Graduates, when you begin to fill leadership roles, big or small, remember the power of empathy. Leading with empathy means understanding and valuing the people you work with. It means listening actively and considering their feelings and perspectives.

Empathy builds trust, fosters collaboration, and ultimately drives success. It’s about creating an environment where everyone feels valued and understood. In a world that often emphasizes individual achievement, do not forget the importance of connecting with others on a human level. As you move forward in your careers, let empathy guide your decisions and interactions. This approach will not only make you a better leader but also a better person.

As you step into the next chapter of your lives, graduates, remember these three key themes: #1 Turn crises into opportunities, #2 Pursue your passion, and #3 Lead with empathy. Life will present you with challenges, but by applying these principles, you will surely overcome them.

Allow me to leave you with an acronym to encapsulate these themes: P.E.A.K. – Passion, Empathy, Adaptability, and Knowledge. Strive for your peak, and you will achieve greatness.

To close, I would like to summarize my commencement address with a quote: 

“In every crisis, find the opportunity. Let passion drive your pursuits, and lead your team with empathy.”

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2024. The world is waiting for you to make your mark. Go forth and make it a better place.

Maraming salamat at mabuhay tayo!

Resilience Critical Illness Extra, a limited-pay critical illness life insurance plan, provides guaranteed lump sum cash upon critical illness diagnosis. It is payable in ten years, but the life insurance coverage is until the age of 99. This insurance plan also provides coverage for 84 major and 39 minor critical illnesses.

“UnionBank and UFSI currently offer an extensive array of products and services that cater to the various financial needs of their customers. InLife aims to complement this by providing critical illness coverage for their clients. As these customers build their portfolio and grow their wealth, they can be assured that InLife has them covered in the event they are diagnosed with a critical illness,” said InLife Chief Marketing Officer and Bancassurance Head Gae L. Martinez.

Martinez said that Resilience Critical Illness Extra cushions the insured from the blow dealt by a life-threatening disease. “Critical illnesses tend to throw us off-balance and derail our long-term plans. With Resilience Critical Illness Extra, the insured can focus on getting treatment and becoming better so they can bounce back in life much sooner.”

Upon diagnosis of a covered major critical illness, the life insurance benefit equal to 100% of the sum insured will be given in advance to cover the insured’s medical expenses, plus cash allowance in case of hospitalization due to a covered disease. If the insured, however, does not make a critical illness claim on the policy, they may start getting a cash benefit equal to 8% of the sum insured from age 65 (depending on issue age) and every five years thereafter until the age of 85.

Interested customers may contact their UnionBank or UFSI Relationship Manager or UFSI Insurance Solutions Manager to learn more.

About Mercure 

Inspired by Mercury, the Roman god of travellers, Mercure hotels offer so much more than a place to  find comfort and sleep – they are a portal to discovery, a springboard to exploration. Since its founding  in 1973, Mercure prides itself on offering high-quality standards with a true take on locality. Through  its “Discover Local” program, Mercure welcomes guests – be it in Rio, Paris, Bangkok or any other  destination globally – and instantly immerses them in a locally inspired atmosphere. Everything from  the decorative design to our passion for local food and beverage discoveries is rooted in the unique  features of each destination. Mercure hotels are conveniently located in city centres, by the sea or in  the mountains, with more than 960 hotels in 65+ countries. Mercure is part of Accor, a world leading  hospitality group counting over 5,500 properties throughout more than 110 countries, and a  participating brand in ALL – Accor Live Limitless – a lifestyle loyalty program providing access to a wide  variety of rewards, services and experiences.
