San Miguel Foods Participates in DTI Tatak Pinoy 2026
San Miguel Foods (SMF) joined the Department of Trade and Industry's (DTI) Tatak Pinoy event held from May 25 to 27, 2026 at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City — a three-day showcase celebrating the strength, diversity, and global competitiveness of Philippine industries.
The event brought together key sectors of the Philippine economy, including Information Technology and Business Process Management, Food and Agro-Processing, Semiconductors, Pharmaceuticals, and Defense Manufacturing, among others. More than an exhibit, Tatak Pinoy served as a platform for industry linkages, investment promotion, and the advancement of locally manufactured products in both domestic and international markets.

A number of attendees formally signed up through the company's interest form, opening the door to future partnerships and collaborations.
San Miguel Foods remains committed to championing Filipino-made products and to contributing to the growth of Philippine industries — bringing world-class quality to every Filipino table.
For many Filipinos, the airport is more than just a place to catch a flight. It marks the start of long-awaited vacations, emotional homecomings or important business trips. In the middle of the rush, food can offer a welcome pause, providing travelers with a sense of familiarity before they head to their next destination. At the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), passengers can find familiar Filipino flavors through food concepts that bring together well-loved meals and favorite street food snacks.
Dati, akala ko ay madali lang gawing healthy ang pagkain ng pamilya. Kumain ng mas maraming gulay at prutas. Bawasan ang matatamis at maalat. Siguraduhing nakakakain nang maayos ang mga anak. Simple lang, 'di ba? Pero iba pala kapag nanay ka na kailangang mag-plano ng lulutuin -- mamamalengke, mag-bubudget, maghahanda ng pagkain, at sisiguraduhing makakakain ang lahat. Kaya ang akala ko ay magkaiba ang masustansiyang pagkain at pagkaing madaling lutuin araw-araw .
With so much nutrition information available today, choosing what to eat can sometimes feel overwhelming. Food labels, health claims, social media posts, and nutrition advice can all influence the way we see and choose our food. The good news? Making better food choices does not require following complicated rules. It starts with understanding the information available and putting it into context. Being food-informed means looking beyond simple claims, asking thoughtful questions, and considering how each food fits into your overall eating pattern.
What happens when nutrition education moves beyond the classroom and into the everyday realities of Filipino families?
San Miguel Food and Beverage, Inc. (SMFB) held its Annual Stockholders' Meeting on June 3, 2026, at the SMC Head Office Complex Executive Dining Room, with stockholders able to participate both in person and via livestream.

SMFB’s first-quarter net income rose 2% to P11.8 billion, supported by gains in its food and spirits businesses, stable beer performance, and disciplined cost management amid a more uncertain operating environment.

Food is fuel—but not all diets are the same. A person going about daily life has very different nutrition needs than an athlete training hard every day. Understanding these differences can help you eat smarter, stay healthy, and perform your best.
What Is an Intelligent Diet? An intelligent diet is a practical expression of personalized nutrition. It provides the right nutrients, in the right amounts, at the right time, for the right person. Instead of labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” it focuses on how foods fit into an individual’s lifestyle and health goals.
Healthy eating starts with knowledge, access to nutritious ingredients, and simple ways to prepare meals at home. This was the focus of the Gulayan Festival 2025–2026 (Division Level) , organized by the Schools Division Office of Quezon City on March 6, 2026, with San Miguel Foods’ Star Nutri-Meats proudly supporting school gardens, nutrition education, and practical cooking for Filipino families.
