CDO Foodsphere celebrates 45 years of family mealtimes

-

FOR 45 years on June 25, CDO Foodsphere has been serving the Filipino through its nutritious but affordable products.

Starting from the desire of one housewife to provide better food to her children and to help her neighbors earn a living, the backyard business flourished to what it is now — a multi-billion-peso business that helps families and communitie­s nationwide.

With her education, experience and ingenuity as a nutritioni­st-dietitian, founder Corazon Dayro Ong was able to develop products that became a Filipino household staple for over four decades.

The company that she and her husband Jose de Jesus Ong put up in 1975 continues to influence the lives of many families by bringing them together around the dining table and in family gatherings.

With the life-changing events of 2020, this year has become very challengin­g for Filipinos for their natural strong family ties and desire for social interactio­n.

However, CDO Foodsphere remains committed to its purpose of operations, now with over 15 brands that are either category leaders or major challenger­s in the food industry.

Its new logo uses the elements of a family platter, surrounded by a fluid illustrati­on of a spoon and fork surroundin­g the platter — truly a strong visual for the Company Mission, which is to “champion mealtimes and unite families through food that calls them home.”

“We are here for the Filipino family. We are staying true to our promise and we will continue what our founders have started in 1975. We will continue to inspire Filipinos through the stories of our parents, Pepe and Cora Ong, and we will pursue with passion their desire to help every family through food,” CDO President and Chief Executive Officer Jerome Ong said.
