Jollibee Group Foundation, DepEd to Expand Central Kitchen Model for School-based Feeding Program

0

Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF), the social development arm of Jollibee Group, recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Education (DepEd) for the adoption of the central kitchen model for School-based Feeding Program (SBFP), which aims to alleviate hunger among school-aged children. DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara led the signing ceremonies with JGF President Gisela Tiongson at the DepEd office last December 11, 2024.

Under the said partnership, JGF will provide capacity building support to share its expertise on implementing the central kitchen model with partner public schools, local government units, and local partners under the JGF Busog, Lusog, Talino (BLT) Program. This partnership is expected to benefit thousands of students from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the next one and a half years.

The Foundation first launched the BLT Program in 2007, recognizing the need to address hunger, a key factor contributing to low school attendance and high drop-out rates among public elementary students. In 2016, with DepEd implementing the School-based Feeding Program (SBFP) nationwide, JGF transitioned its approach by focusing on the establishment of central kitchens, reinforcing its commitment to promoting better access to food. To date it has spearheaded the creation of 41 central kitchens nationwide, providing continuous support to DepEd’s SBFP . Since its inception, the program has served meals to over 270,000 students from the direct feeding approach and the shift to establishing central kitchens.

“The BLT Kitchens centralize the preparation and distribution of meals, feeding thousands of students with less time and effort,” said JGF President Gisela Tiongson. “By working with DepEd and the support of the local government units, private institutions and parent volunteers in utilizing the central kitchen model, we can help mitigate hunger and give students better chances of continuing their education.”

Empowering facilitators

The Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) will also support the development of training centers for central kitchen management. Under the partnership, 15 of JGF’s existing BLT partner schools will serve as learning hubs for organizations aiming to establish their own central kitchens.

To ensure consistent and sustainable implementation, JGF will create guidebooks and learning video materials for DepEd personnel and BLT partners. These resources will help standardize processes and support the long-term success of the initiative.

So far, twenty-nine DepEd Central and Regional personnel have participated in a four-day training led by JGF. These trained personnel will serve as coaches who will coordinate with local government units in setting up central kitchens for school and community feeding. They will also provide technical guidance on setting up and operating these central kitchens to ensure their sustainability and impact.

Elevate Your Sleep Experience with Uratex Bed Linens

0

Elevate your slumber experience with the Philippines’ leading mattress provider, Uratex. After 56 years in the industry, Uratex is further expanding its impressive product range to include bed linens.

Uratex’s bed linens are soft and smooth, and it features trendy designs, appealing patterns, and eye-catching colors.

As a proudly Filipino-owned company, Multiflex RNC Philippines, Inc. (Uratex Philippines), not only promises to produce high-quality mattresses Filipinos can afford but it also ensures that all its products provide comfort and create meaningful memories.

The Uratex Legacy Continues with the Bed Linens

When Robert and Natividad Cheng established the Polyfoam Chemical Corporation, they invested in world-class research and development to produce high-grade foams. The brand has since grown to become the most recognized household name in the bedding industry.

It is the same commitment to quality that Uratex is applying to making the bed linens.

“We deliberately wanted to follow the culture of Uratex, with the same format that we really want to cater to all target markets. Our founder, Mr. Cheng, had the vision to give every Filipino a comfortable and affordable mattress to lie on,” expressed Christian Cheng, the brand marketing manager for bed linens.

“It is also the same way with our bed linens. We also want to provide and give access to all Filipinos. Our range is really big, from the affordable to the upscale products,” added Christian Cheng.

Here are their product offerings:

SLEEP BASIC BED LINENS

“We have a polyester, which is a material that is durable. It’s wrinkle resistant. So, no matter how much you scratch it, you won’t see any crease marks. And it doesn’t shrink. The shrinkage is only 0.26% after the first wash. But it’s affordable because it’s man-made. And it was really intended to be affordable,” Cheng explained.

PRIME COMFORT BED LINENS

“We have the polyester cotton blend—50% polyester, 50% cotton. It’s called Prime Comfort. That’s the 180 Thread Count. The difference with polyester is that it’s soft, shrink-resistant, and wrinkle-resistant. But it has a breathable feature because we know that when we use cotton, it’s cool aNd comfortable,” Cheng continued.

PREMIUM TOUCH BED LINENS

“Cotton is made naturally, so it’s really more expensive because you’re going to source it from the cotton itself. Cotton has three types of thread count that Uratex sells. There’s 200TC or 200 thread count, which is Uratex Bed Linen. There’s also 300 thread count, which is Wing Bed Linen. There’s also Premium Touch Bed Linen at 500 thread count. When the thread count is higher, since more yarns are used, the surface is softer. So, it feels more luxurious when you touch it,” Cheng explained.

ECO DELUXE BED LINENS

“Then we also have 300 thread count bamboo. That’s the Eco Deluxe Bed Linen. The difference between bamboo and cotton is that bamboo is thinner. Bamboo is softer. Bamboo is very soft and cold. And it’s very comfortable to use. The difference with cotton is that the fabric is thinner and the bamboo is silky,” said Cheng.

Ambassadors of Good Quality

The Uratex group of companies is globally competitive. With a younger generation at the helm, it understands that the world now revolves around persuasive people— the influencers— who can sway the market into patronizing Uratex products.

Demonstrating prowess and agility in navigating the local and international markets and competition, Cheng and his team enlisted dynamic individuals who can help drive the sales of the bed linens— Internet personality Bigboy Cheng and celebrity mom Pauleen Luna-Sotto.

“Bigboy Cheng is someone who has convincing power. He can convince people with what he says. And that’s the most unique selling point of Bigboy Cheng—he can really sell. He can sell even if he’s just vlogging. He can lead to sales. So, we want to capitalize on that with the linens,” Christian Cheng explained.

Bigboy said, “56 years na ang Uratex. Sikat tayo sa mga kutson, and never in my life nagkaroon ng bed linens. So, history ito para sa atin and gusto ko maging part nito.”

He added, “Grabe, ang sarap ng feel tapos yung mga designs, ang ganda rin tingnan as in. Na-try ko yung cotton and yung bamboo sa shoot namin, ang lambot sobra.”

As for Pauleen Luna-Sotto, Christian Cheng said of his choice as endorser: “She’s a great mom. On social media, we saw the sentiments about her are very positive. She’s a very hands-on mom. And, of course, because she’s the one who buys for the household, we target the Linen Purchasers. And those are the moms.”

Christian Cheng further added: “So, we needed to get a mom who does that. And Pauleen is the perfect example for that. And she also uses Uratex. So, what’s very common between Bigboy Cheng and Pauleen is that they’re very relevant to people.”

Pauleen, for her part, enthused: “My family loves buying and experiencing new bed sheets. That’s why I’m so glad that as a Uratex user, they finally have a bed linen line to complete their collection. I really got excited as a bed linen buyer and user.

“Actually, during the shoot, inantok ako when I tried them, specifically the cotton and the bamboo bed linens. It was so smooth and cool that I was about to sleep during the shoot. Ganun siya ka-sarap. It’s ideal for bedrooms because of the comfort it brings, and the designs are aesthetically pleasing.

“As a mom, I hope that I am able to use my platform to tell my co-mothers any tips and tricks when it comes to buying and using bed linens, since we are the ones who really purchase these items for our families.”

Uratex Bed Linens are available in all Uratex showrooms across the Philippines and authorized Uratex dealers. You may also check other Uratex products and brand updates on their official website and Facebook Page.
