To my San Miguel Food Group Family,
The first half of the year has gone by so quickly I cant help butlook forward to what the rest of the year will bring. As you know, the
Company has had to perform twice as hard this year, coming from a
very challenging performance last year. But while the first few months
have continued to offer up some high hurdles, our first semester
financial results have been encouraging. Our consolidated revenues
increased by 12% year-on-year, while our net income rose by 26% from
the same period last year.
What does this say? We must be facing
our challenges the right way. With better
margins, improved efficiencies, and better
selling prices, I think we are paving the road
to recovery.
But this year continues to be difficult.
I recognize your individual and collective
efforts to deliver good results and I deeply
appreciate your commitment and hard work.
But we must continue to go the extra mile and outdo ourselves toensure that the momentum we gained is sustained and the road to a
recovery year is well-paved. In the end, despite all the major hurdles we
face, your passion to succeed and motivation to exceed expectations
will far outweigh any external challenge we confront.
Perhaps you have learned about our recent initiative of sourcing
strategic business partners or investors who can help us become
a stronger, more profitable, more competitive and more diverse
organization. Ultimately, the future success of our Company willnot just depend on management or our business partner, but more
importantly on you. I enjoin you to collaborate.
My strong belief is that with your help, the Food Group is primed for
growth even in trying times.
Now lets start talking Food.

I liken our B-MEG men and women
to those described in the Band ofBrothers, said Ramos. Against manyodds, our people are again askedto give their personal best, to worktogether, to not only attain our targetsthis year, but to contribute morethan what we committed. Ramoscontinued by sharing some of B-MEGFeeds employees whose passionand dedication to the job made adifference and contributed to whereB-MEG is today.
Meanwhile, National Sales
Manager, Jovie Sepe, in his welcomemessage, described what a B-MEGsoldier is like: battle-tested, obeyingorders without question, goingwherever sent by the General, fightingwith fellow soldiers on all sides.

It was followed by the Entrance ofColors, led by representatives of thePhilippine Military Academy MarchingBand.
The Specific Objectives (SOs)were presented by members ofthe platoons, each ending with ateam cheer. Before the commitmentceremony, the 2008 Sales andDistributor performers per territorywere recognized and awarded.
True to military practice,
personalized dog tags were givento each of the participants. Anotherdramatic moment came whentowards the end of the program, theB-MEG Soldiers Creed was recited,led by the Area Sales Managers RicoGomez for Luzon and Jojo Lindofor Vis Min.

of B-MEG, the distributors andtoll partners, Alejo expressed hisgratefulness.
The two-day event started with ateambuilding exercise that had onlytwo big groups competing againsteach other. The courses were hardenough for the players to exhibitteamwork, with each membermaking sure he or she left no onebehind, ensuring the teams safety.Since there were only two teamscompeting, there was no room for
second best. It was a win or losefight wherein winners were all givena medal of valor while the loserswere executed by the winning groupthrough a water balloon firing squad.
Day two was the plenary, startingwith a Holy Mass, then the conventionproper. The plenary commencedwith the entrance of platoons,composed of the local ManagementCommittee and the departments inthe region (Solid North Luzon and

They wereimpressed that the beneficiaries ofthe Soup Kitchen Program broughttheir own utensils and chairs, whilesome families even loaned theirtables. No extra cost for styro platesand plastic utensils were spent andminimal waste was generated.

Kalingang SustansyarapBy Gina Pineda
The 1st Soup Kitchen Program ofSan Miguel Pure Foods Companywas a success. This pilot run was
sponsored by Purefoods-Hormel withmuch help from the SMC Foundation,Food Division HR, the MarikinaHealth Office, and the Labas Bakodcommunity leaders of Marikina City.
As early as 5:30 a.m. of March20, the makeshift basketball courtof Labas Bakod, a depressedcommunity in Parang, Marikina wasa-buzz with activity. Their peoplewere very visible, sweeping floorsand setting-up the tents which wouldhouse Kalingang Sustansyarap, theSoup Kitchen Program.
At 6:00 a.m. the court started to fill-up with curious and excited childrenwho talked to the volunteers andshared their thoughts about povertyand their community. A little whilelater, the community leaders cajoledthe kids to run home and take abath, with a promise of a sumptuousmeal when theyreturn. The smileand delight that
registered on thekids faces whenthey were told thatthey can eat asmuch hotdog asthey want madethe volunteers feela mix of happiness
and sadness. Happiness because thevolunteers know that they are able tohelp these kids in their own little way;and, sadness because they hopedthat more aid can be given to thesekids.
At 7:15 a.m. a short lecturewas given by the Health Worker-Nutritionist from the Marikina HealthOffice. The basic food groups werediscussed and the nutritional valueof the food to be served was alsotackled.

In this time of global economic crisis, howwell are you managing your personalbudget and what are some tried and testedcost-saving tips you can share with us?

I have a simplehome budget templatewhere I put my incomeand expenses as Ianticipate them or as
they arise. I categorizethese expenses intofixed, variable anddiscretionary so that I caneasily identify where tocut down when needed.Being aware of mymonthly expenses vis-a-vis my fixed income helpsme to avoid spendingmore than what I canafford, and reduce mydependency on creditcards. As the Filipino
saying goes, "Habangmaliit ang kumot,matutong mamaluktot".
-Armi A. Mendoza,Finance Manger,
Great Food Solutions
With the economic crunch biting into our everydayexpenses, some good advice can definitely help us getthrough each day. There is nothing more important thana few wise tips on managing our tight budget. And whobetter to ask than the financial experts themselves? Hereare some prime and practical tips on how to manage your
expenses, straight from our Finance Managers mouth:
My cost saving tips are: When planning for vacations, plan way ahead of time. We all know that Cebu Pacic provide
very low prices but I have encountered PAL services to be a match to Cebu Pacific's promosIf you opt for a promotional vacation where there are accommodations, negotiate for morefreebies like city tour, fun activities, meals, etc. Always ask for possible giveaways. Negotiatefor bigger discounts especially if you are traveling in groups.
If you have credit cards, every time you are ready to pay for the products, always ask storeclerks or customer service for bank agreements on discounts, installment promos, free
items, raffles, all other credit card promos. There are store clerks that may not automaticallyinform you of the promotional items they have.
I have come across an article that stores in the U.S. can give further mark downs forproducts near their expiration date. Always ask for the store manager when haggling forthese kinds of bargains, especially with fresh and frozen products like meat, fish and evencanned products.
Do not overstock your pantries with products you dont consume every day. Unlessthese items are purchased under promotional discounts, your goods should only beenough for one month. Do groceries on a monthly basis. Timing is essential so always go after mall sale. Do
your groceries in establishments that have the lowest prices, like Macro, Puregold, etc.

3.
Here is my list of list of tried and testedcost saving tips: Prepare a reasonable budget. Plan your weekly menu ahead and pay
particular attention to size and volume. Purchase food ingredients according to
your planned menu. Recycle food. Be creative.* Know your food stocks at home before
buying again. Prepare a list before doing
your grocery. Always look for the expiry date of the itemsyou buy.
Compare prices and give extra attention tothe package contents.
Buy only those that are necessary. Avoidthe nice to have impulse.
Avoid going to the malls and window-shopping if you dont have plans of buying.
Appreciate and be content with whatyou have. Try the delayed gratificationstrategy.
Buy quality items because it will give youmore savings in the long term aside from
feeling good whenever you use it. Timing is important. Wait for specialdiscounts especially if youre buying bigitems.
* Leftovers can be made intoingredients to another dish (e.g.Laing can be made into a spaghettisauce)
-Ana S. Santiago,Finance Man-
ager, SMFI-FeedsWhat I have learned from
my grandparents and parentsis to always save a portion of
whatever earnings I have. Intimes of crisis, the problem willbe lessened because you know you can drawfrom your resources. The excess money I haveis used for investments.
I have been coaching my children, whoare also working now, never to spend morethan what they earn. Today, everybody isaffected with the global crisis. But fortunatelywe are not extremely affected because wehave instilled the discipline of spending wisely.
Here are some of the things we do as afamily to save on costs: We do car pools since all of us work in
Ortigas and Makati I make sure to cook my familys favorites
most of the time so we are discouragedfrom eating out. Dining out is reserved forspecial occasions.
We just watch movies at the house andonly select what to watch in moviehouses.These are small things but when you
add them up, youll be surprised how muchyou have cut off and saved from your usualexpenses.

Spotlight on Top FlourMiller Ver Ignacio
By Bernie Bagaman
Talents are flowering at San Miguel Mills, Inc.One of its
top flour millers,Virgilio Ignacio,was sent last
year for trainingat a top SwissMilling School.
Accordingto RamonJavier, BatangasFlour Mill plant
manager, FlourMilling Schools or Institutionswhich offer specialization inflourmilling courses are locatedin other countries, such as theSt. Galen Swiss Milling Schoolin Switzerland, Kansas StateUniversity, NABIM in UK andothers. Some of our millers havetaken correspondence coursesfrom these schools and last yearwe sent Ver to St. Galen for sixmonths to complete the actual
hands-on part of his course.After coming back, we are nowpreparing programs such as in-house seminars for him to impartthe learnings he acquired to therest of SMMI's technical team.
Their trust in him was well-founded. Ignacio placed secondoverall with a 93% grade in a class
of 22 participantsfrom all over theworld, includingthe US, Franceand Japan, whiletopping the oralexams with a98% score. Andit wasnt a pieceof cake; fivestudents failed
to sift throughthe course. Furthermore, theclassmate who took first honorswas a miller from a Nigerian plantthat was the second largest in theworld, and the classmate Ignaciobeat for second worked in theworlds biggest mill.
Ignacio sees the opportunityas an honor (being the secondFilipino to be sent to theprestigious Swiss Milling Schoolin the past 30 years) and he
recognizes his responsibility toshare what he has learned. Wedont have milling schools in thecountry so most flour millerswould learn by experience. Millingis an art and a science and thatswhat I learned in Switzerlandand which I hope to impart to mycolleagues.

By Jon Hernandez
You will be surprised about thelack of awareness on the environmentamong Filipinos. I admit that beforeI joined Miss Earth, there are thingsabout protecting the environment
that I was not aware of,explainedHenry, who said that among thethings Filipinos should pay attentionto is waste segregation at home andconservation of natural resources.
So this time, we are really makingthe rounds among school children,some two to three classrooms at atime. It is quite tiring but very muchrewarding as I am cherishing everyminute of my reign,Henry added.

Im very much honored to
endorse Magnolia Ice Creams NSAline since I love ice cream very much.It allows us who are into fitness thechance to enjoy ice cream withoutthe guilt,the 22-year-old Cebuanasaid.
Henry, who worked for a Cebu-based hotel before her reign asMiss Earth, is the outdoor type andindulges in sports like basketball,baseball, swimming and evenhorseback riding.
Magnolia Ice Cream GeneralManager Mayo Alcon said Ms.Henry is perfectly fit as Magnolia

physically fit,Alcon said.In Miss Henry, we have an
endorser best suited to talk aboutfitness to our ice-cream lovingFilipinos who want to try out theMagnolia NSA lines chocolate andvanilla flavors,said Alcon.And wewould definitely support her in herdrive to spread the wisdom of acleaner and greener planet.
The feeling is mutual as Henry alsolauds Magnolias mother company,
