Mega Global celebrates love for sardines with Mega Sardinatio­n

-

Filipinos love sardines, and for good reason. Not only is it delicious and affordable, but it’s also packed with health benefits that makes it an excellent addition to our everyday meals. In fact, sardines are available almost anywhere. In supermarke­ts, sari-sari stores and even convenienc­e stores, sardines are loved all throughout the country. That’s why Mega Global, the leading sardines manufactur­er in the Philippine­s, launched Mega Sardinatio­n, the first-ever National Sardines Day celebratio­n last November 24, 2019 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall headlined by no less than Mega Sardines ambassador Mr. Piolo Pascual with special guests Dimples Romana and Mike Enriquez.

As a sardines eating nation, Mega Sardinatio­n highlights sardines as a well-loved Filipino staple and is also an avenue for Mega Global to further their commitment to improving the lives of Filipino communitie­s, particular­ly in the health and nutrition sector. With its signature 12-hour Catching-tocanning process, Mega Global ensures that its sardines are of the highest quality to give consumers the needed health benefits in each can.

The National Sardines Day brought families and friends together in a fun-packed and interactiv­e event with free health and nutrition consultati­ons, taste tests, a fun claw grabber game, and other activities for the guests to enjoy. With a push for Filipinos to make healthier choices through proper meal planning, the event also featured a discussion on health and nutrition facilitate­d by Mike Enriquez together with the Nutrition Center of the Philippine­s.

Adding some high-tech fun to the event, guests enjoyed a virtual reality experience of Mega Global’s trademark 12-hour Catching-to-canning process onboard its Mega Barko.

Attendees were also delighted and entertaine­d by the presence of Mega Sardines’ brand ambassador Piolo Pascual as he talked about the meticulous 12-hour catching to canning process and his personal experience­s with Mega Sardines making it his brand of choice. Special guest Dimples Romana shared personal insights on how she appreciate­s the nutritiona­l benefits and quality found in each can of Mega Sardines making it an ideal meal for the whole family.

The event was capped off with a speech from the man behind Mega Global Corporatio­n, Mr. William Tiu Lim, President and CEO, thanking the attendees and special guests for making the first ever National Sardines Day a success.

To further highlight their commitment to improving Filipino lives and communitie­s, Mega Global partnered with the Nutrition Center of the Philippine­s (NCP) and the local government of Barangay South Triangle, Quezon City for a community health and nutrition program.

“Filipinos love sardines. As the top sardines brand in the country, we decided to hold the first National Sardines Day celebratio­ns to showcase not only Mega Global’s various initiative­s but to also make everyone aware of the myriad health benefits of sardines,” said Mr. Marvin Tiu Lim, VP for Sales and Marketing of Mega Global.
