Robinsons Supermarket, Unilever Philippines and World Vision united together and launched the “Bags of Hope” campaign – which aims to help World Vision Kids with their education and their future.

Packing hope in a bag is possible with the help of Unilever Philippines, Robinsons Supermarket and World Vision through Lady’s Choice’ Bags of Hope.

With what began as a child sponsorship endeavor in Malabon in 2007, blossomed into a relentless commitment for continued and growing support for children in more communities. It inspired the launch of “Lunch Box of Hope,” and eventually gave rise to the “Bags of Hope” we know today.

Lady’s Choice Bags of Hope is mounted each year together with Robinsons Supermarket to help in the education of World Vision kids. In the early days of the campaign, P5 is donated to World Vision for every Bags of Hope pack sold. Recognizing the growing needs of kids and the yearning to extend greater assistance for their studies, Unilever donates a set a school supplies for each Bags of Hope pack sold on top of the free school bag included in each pack.

On its 9th year, Bags of Hope ensured to help more kids in their education. Bags of Hope was able to donate Php 1.1 Million pesos worth of school supplies that benefited 15,000 students from World Vision-assisted communities. Through this support, beneficiaries are ensured they go to school equipped with what they need to learn.

Lady’s Choice not only makes delightful sandwiches and salads for the family, it is also packed with renewed hope towards a better, brighter future for children.

To help World Vision Kids with their education, Robinsons Supermarket, Unilever Philippines and World Vision unite together and launched the “Bags of Hope” campaign.

One may be a committed donor through buying the Bags of Hope pack. One can choose from purchasing 470ml Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise, Ham or Bacon spreads. Purchase will automatically entitle one to receive a “collectible school bag” which comes in four designs while concurrently giving out school supplies as donations for World Vision Kids to support their education.

Let us bring back the children to school and share the Bags of Hope to give a child a chance in life.

Discover Philippines' Finest Delicacies at the Robinsons Supermarket nationwide.

In collaboration with the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) One Town, One Product Program (OTOP), Robinsons Supermarket relaunches its Island Favorites section in select stores.

In support of the DTI-led program, the grocery chain giant will feature a variety of locally made products in the said section.

OTOP-Philippines is a priority program of the government to promote entrepreneurship and create jobs by promoting patronage of products using indigenous raw materials and local skills and talents. And Robinsons Supermarket is the first retailer to launch the project by reintroducing the Island Favorites section to support the program.

Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. President and COO Robina Gokongwei-Pe

“As a Filipino retailer, we feel it is our responsibility to highlight the best of the Philippines’ products. Through the Island Favorites section, our consumers can be assured of the wide variety of pasalubong choices at competitive prices and of excellent quality – the same standards of DTI’s OTOP program,” said Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. President and COO Robina Gokongwei-Pe.

Stacked in the Island Favorites shelves are delicacies such as Ilocos Fish Crackers, Cebu Dried Mango Chips, Memer Durian Candies, Peanut Kisses, El Tesoro de Cebu Turrones de Mani, Pampanga Chicharon, and Bundy Wine, to name a few. Its mission is to highlight products from different regions that have competitive advantages, in the hopes of improving local products’ quality and marketing.

Apart from being a staunch advocate of health and wellness, Robinsons Supermarket also recognizes its role in strengthening the economic base of every community it serves by supporting locally-made products.

Head on to the Island Favorites Section of Robinsons Supermarket and make a difference by supporting Filipino products.

The OTOP Legacy

What started in 1979, in Japan, as a regional development program to help small-scale businesses flourish is now a business model adopted by many countries worldwide. Called “One Village One Product” in Japan and “One Tambon One Product in Thailand, the program is more popularly known worldwide as “One Town One Product “ or OTOP.

OTOP Philippines was established by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs). OTOP products are created by local communities, highlighting tradition and culture while emphasising sustainability and generating livelihood. OTOP’s role in nation building is extremely vital. Small and medium enterprises are the backbone of the country’s economy and generate jobs nationwide. OTOP Philippines focuses on and develops a particular town’s or province’s or region’s main product or industry with the view of revitalizing each region’s economic activity. In the long-term, OTOP-supported products are envisioned to be very competitive in the world market.

DTI enables these budding enterprises by supporting them through product development, marketing, promotions, business counselling, skills and entrepreneurial training and capital sourcing. Their products are showcased nationwide through regional and national trade fairs. Those whose products have evolved in stature and with better quality standards are, then, introduced in the mainstream market through established retailers thus giving the general public and tourists as well, easier access to the country’s diverse and unique products. OTOP products are also introduced to the world market through international trade fairs and exhibits.

OTOP Philippines stands as a symbol of quality as well. Only products that pass DTI’s stringent standards for quality, market acceptance and competitiveness can carry the OTOP seal. To buyers, it is an assurance that they are getting even better value for their money.
