UPL Philippines Doing Things Better

Food is our common ground, a universal experience.

-James Beard

Food is undeniably one of our basic needs and we owe it a lot to the farmers who are committed in ensuring us that we have enough food supply. But aside from the dedication of the farmers for their crops, there other things to consider to enable a good farming industry in the Philippines and one of them is to ensure good harvest through a reliable support system that can come from reputable agrochemical company such as UPL Philippines.

UPL Philippines

UPL is a leading global producer of crop protection products, intermediates, special chemicals and other industrial chemicals. Their product ranges from fumigants, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and rodenticides. UPL is not only a leading and reputable company worldwide they are also recognized by their ethical practices that extend care and concern towards their employees, communities and environment.

On VIDEO: Meanwhile during the press conference, I managed to ask one question that has been bugging me for a while- “Is the wax used on fruits safe to consume?” UPL is a global leader in crop protection and they are the top manufacturer of wax that protects and preserves the freshness of fruits. Mr. Tapas cordially explained the wax on fruits and why it is needed for the preservation of fruits.

Last 2014, UPL was awarded as one of the Top 50 Most Caring Companies for that year. On the scheduled media campaign this May, their primary focus is on safety of the farmers.

It only goes to show that UPL Philippines is one-step ahead of making our world a better place by having core values that care. UPL is indeed synonymous to ‘Doing Things Better’. #UPLDoingThingsBetter

Transforming Lives: The Impact of SM Group's KSK Program on Filipino Farmers

Farming futures Jayson and Juanito proudly showcase a selection of produce at the SM City Clark’s Weekend Market. While modern agricultural techniques boost yields for some, there remains a number of Filipino farmers who struggle to keep pace. These experienced hands find themselves falling behind in a market demanding higher production, clinging to familiar yet often inefficient methods passed down through generations. One farmer from Pampanga, Jayson Garcia, sought to disrupt this prevailing narrative in his family. He knew that he had to chart a new course forward for his farm and innovate to remain competitive within the rapidly evolving landscape of modern agriculture. “Noon, mahirap ang magtanim,” he recalled their life before joining SM Foundation’s Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan. “Para bang tsambahan, basta pag itinanim mo ‘yan, hintayin mo na lang mamunga. Mas mahirap pa lalo kapag nagkaroon ng kalamidad,” he added. SM Foundation’s training program focused on high-value cr...

A 15-Minute Tropical City in Pasay

All within 15 minutes: Urban planning concept city to rise in Pasay For the modern urban dweller, 15 minutes is a lot of time. A lot of productive things can be done – a high-intensity, interval training (HITT) workout or run a 1.5-kilometer route, clearing your emails, meditating, catching up on the news, or preparing a quick smoothie – all within 15 minutes. But for the Metro Manila commuter, 15 minutes is barely enough to get from point A to point B. During rush hour, it is most likely that within this time, you still haven’t moved an inch. Ever heard of the 15-minute city? It’s a modern urban planning concept that puts people and the planet first. The term was coined by Paris-based urbanist and Sorbonne University professor Carlos Moreno wherein he said that the ideal neighborhood or city is built in such a way where work, food, housing, education and cultural activities can be easily accessed within 15 minutes, whether by foot or by using a bike.

Driving tens of thousands of ‘Swifties’ and concert enthusiasts, the success of these concerts was an economic stimulus for countries worldwide, including Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Japan. Filipino fans alike had to spend big and travel miles to watch the exclusive performance of superstar Swift in Singapore’s National Stadium while others went to Japan’s Tokyo Dome and Sydney’s Accor Stadium in Australia. The massive concert gigs boosted the respective country’s economies, benefitting entertainment, hospitality, retail, and transport industries significantly.
