The 12th Annual General Meeting - Recap

We're pleased to share highlights from our 12th Annual General Meeting, held last August 30, 2025 at the Banquet Hall of Milky Way, with excellent cuisine provided by Tsukiji Makati.

The meeting was truly successful, bringing together our community for meaningful discussions and forward-looking initiatives.

Aboitiz Foods opened the program with an engaging presentation of their products, followed by Rational Cooking Systems Pte Ltd, who impressed attendees with their innovative culinary technologies and solutions. Their presentations sparked valuable conversations and fresh ideas throughout the evening.

Our Immediate Past President Chef Jerome Valencia, officially welcomed everyone with his characteristic warmth, setting a positive atmosphere for the day. He presented a comprehensive video showcasing our association's 33 key accomplishments from the past year while outlining our ambitious plans ahead. We also reviewed our financial statements in detail, reflecting our ongoing commitment to transparency and responsible stewardship.

One of the highlights was watching our members actively participate in nominating and electing the new Board of Trustees. This democratic process ensures we'll have strong, visionary leadership to guide us through the coming term.

The formal proceedings concluded with a networking session over food and drinks, creating the perfect opportunity for members to connect, share experiences, and strengthen our professional community.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rational Cooking Systems Pte Ltd for their generous sponsorship of our event. We're also deeply grateful to Aboitiz Foods and Arla Foods Philippines for providing wonderful giveaways that added an extra touch of appreciation for our members.

As we look to the future, we're filled with genuine optimism and determination. We remain dedicated to raising industry standards and embracing the opportunities ahead of us.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our association. Together, we'll keep driving innovation and excellence in everything we do.
