Championing Filipino Food for Five Decades: The CDO Legacy, According to President and CEO Jerome Ong

At the heart of every Filipino’s life is family and food. Without coincidence, at the center of the Philippines’ P309 billion food industry is CDO Foodsphere, a company built by one family’s passion for food–which has won it the hearts of a nation.

CDO’s journey began, quite literally, from their home kitchen to find a place in the homes of families all over the country with their unique recipes for nutritious and convenient Filipino staples like tocino, longganisa and hotdogs. Continuously innovating through the years, CDO has made products that read like a menu of Pinoy Greatest Hits–Funtastyk Tocino, Karne Norte, Ulam Burger, San Marino Corned Tuna, and Highlands Corned Beef are just a sampling of the phenomenal success CDO Foodsphere has achieved.
