About Greenwich 

Greenwich’s story began in 1971 as a small, family-owned store selling a selection of pizzas at the then Greenhills Commercial Center. As the brand’s pizzas grew in popularity, Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) took notice. In 1994, JFC acquired majority shares in Greenwich, infusing what was a family business with industry-leading competitiveness. New pizza variants and a variety of products were introduced through the years, creating a reputation for Greenwich as a maker of mouthwatering pizzas and pastas for the Filipino “barkada.” Today, Greenwich is the country’s biggest pizza and pasta chain with over 270 stores and counting, and home of the best-selling Hawaiian Overload^®, All-in Overload^®, and Lasagna Supreme^®.

Jollibee Group Achieves Top Score in Food Safety and Quality Management

“Long before the pandemic, our plan to grow our business called for a strategic imperative to implement an end-to-end world-class Food Safety and Quality Management Systems to secure the safety and quality of food products in the entire food chain, from farm to fork. This strategy reinforces JFC’s mission to serve great-tasting food and bring the joy of eating to everyone. The evolution of our QMS has strengthened the company’s Food Safety & Quality culture over the years. It has protected the business reputation and enabled good business outcomes as manifested by progressive business growth, multiple brand acquisitions, and steadily growing network of restaurants across regions and countries. Food Safety Excellence was a strategic imperative and a bedrock for business sustainability.” ~Wally Mateo, Vice President, and Head of Quality Management of the Jollibee Group

For this year, 82 best practices from across the world were assessed by 16 honorable panels of expert international judges. Four out of these 82 entries were from the Philippines and Jollibee Group is among the three Philippine organizations that were given a 7-star rating. 

Jollibee Foods Corporation (Jollibee Group) received a 7-star rating for its best practices on Food Safety and Quality (FSQ) at the 9^th International Best Practice Competition 2023, organized by the Centre for Organizational Excellence Research (COER), a global business excellence research and consultancy firm.

Jollibee Group’s entry titled “One JFC End to End Food Safety and Quality Management Strategy” achieved the highest rating and was recognized for its exceptional performance and commitment to the highest standards in the industry. Jollibee Group was also cited as the strongest best practice in the Process Management and Improvement category. 

Food Safety and Quality 

The Jollibee Group’s end-to-end Food Safety and Quality Management strategy is benchmarked against internationally recognized risk-based standards, as applicable in each segment of the food chain. The said strategy was augmented to build a pool of Internal Quality Assessors that are technically equipped in conducting compliance audits among vendor partners across the globe.

As part of this strategy, the company also makes use of available technology to digitalize several manual & disparate processes in records management, quality monitoring, and in analyzing quality performances of hundreds of suppliers and thousands of restaurants across the globe. It also upgrades its Quality Management System (QMS) requirements each year to address external risks or threats, operational weaknesses, new regulations, and new customer requirements, which results in an evolving QMS model. 

Continuing its commitment to FSQ, Jollibee Group’s Global QM recently developed a three-year master plan to build on the company’s Sustainability Agenda, which focuses on Food Safety, Environment Protection, and Social well-being. 

In 2023, the Jollibee Group launched its Global Sustainability Agenda dubbed “Joy for Tomorrow” to serve as anchor for sustaining business growth while contributing to creating a better future for all. 

A series of events will unfold in the next three years anchoring on awareness campaign, upgrading QMS to incorporate sustainability requirements in the restaurants and supply chain operations, and compliance monitoring. 

The International Best Practice Competition is organized by COER, together with Best Practice Improvement Resource (BPIR), and Global Benchmarking Network; and in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Abu Dhabi Centre for Organizational Excellence, and Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award (SKEA).

Verstappen & Perez Compete In The World’s Cleanest Challenge Ahead Of Singapore Race Weekend

“It was great,” stated Checo when asked about the challenge. “When I got to see the cart for the first time, I was shocked with it. It’s a track that’s really hard on us and the cars. We just have to deliver to the maximum. That would be really nice to repeat what we did last year. I look forward to it, and hopefully we are able to have a tremendous race.” ~Sergio “Checo” Perez, Oracle Red Bull Racing Champion

On their return to Singapore, Oracle Red Bull Racing Champions, Max Verstappen and Sergio “Checo” Perez, embraced a uniquely fun challenge. They hopped on motorized cleaning carts, racing on a specially constructed indoor track, in the cleanest race ever, all within the stunning Jewel Changi Airport.

The first part, a mock sprint race, began with an electrifying "Le Mans" style start. Max gained an early advantage by firing up his cleaning cart first. He maintained a solid lead until Checo attempted to take a shortcut that violated track limits, securing Max's victory.

In the subsequent Cleaning Challenge, the drivers navigated an expanded track with obstacles like muddy footprints, dirt, rubbish, and leaves. Max, starting in pole position, maintained his lead throughout the race until an exciting head-to-head battle emerged in the back section of the course. Despite Checo's attempts to overtake him, Max held his ground. During the pit stop, it was clear that Max's vehicle had cleaned more debris. With a significant lead, Max sprinted (albeit slowly) to the finish line, clinching first place in the inaugural World’s Cleanest Race. He was presented with a pre-broken trophy in recognition of his victory by Oracle Red Bull Racing ambassador, Josh Denzel, sparing him the effort of breaking it himself.

Supported by Jewel Changi Airport and the Singapore Tourism Board, there was no better venue to host the event than at the world's best airport, renowned for its autonomous fleet of cleaning robots, offering a stunning backdrop featuring the world's tallest indoor waterfall nestled within the lush indoor forest. 

With Singapore as a vibrant backdrop, a city renowned for its diverse culinary culture, captivating attractions, and lush gardens, the beauty of the Lion City and FORMULA 1’s first night street race has always been an attraction for avid racing fans and the Oracle Red Bull Racing drivers, as well.

“It’s always good to be in Singapore. It’s an incredible track and the fact that it’s a night race makes it even more special. It is of course a very warm race which can be challenging, so it’s definitely one of the toughest races on the calendar. Street circuits always bring a few more challenges but we’ll definitely try. We have a quick car, but we know that on a street circuit there are a lot of other cars that can be quick as well and the gaps will be very tight. We of course want to win so let’s see what we can do. At this stage, being with the team, I’m quite used to it. They come up with quite a lot of things so this was another one.” ~Max Verstappen, Oracle Red Bull Racing Champion

The one-of-a-kind World’s Cleanest challenge, held ahead of the highly anticipated Singapore Grand Prix (15 to 17 September), was just the warm-up the racers favoured before tackling the big one. It’s at the forthcoming night race that Checo hopes to repeat his incredible performance from last year.

Max, in particular, is focused on extending his record-breaking streak with a potential first-time victory in Singapore.

To catch the epic action and the infectious laughter of Max Verstappen and Checo Perez, zoom over to Oracle Red Bull Racing's YouTube channel to watch the World's Cleanest Race in its entirety.

Ace Banzuelo teams up with acclaimed filmmaker JP Habac in the music video of “Meron Ba”

“For people who aren’t born into privilege and don’t have enough resources to take risks, decision-making is tough. They don’t have a choice but to ask the universe for a sign or take a leap of faith, thinking that it would give them a sense of clarity. Taking risks is good if you have the privilege, but if not, you have to be realistic. Ace is very hands-on with the material. It’s refreshing to witness how deeply involved he is, from concept development to the post-production phase. You can tell right away how protective he is with the vision of the song and how collaborative he is as an artist.” ~JP Habac, Award-Winning Filmmaker

Filipino Singer-Songwriter and Producer Ace Banzuelo relives the messy and glorious days of high school romance in the music video for his new single “Meron Ba.”

The MV is directed by award-winning filmmaker JP Habac, who is responsible for some of the most iconic romantic dramas in recent years, including 2017’s I’m Drunk, I Love You, 2021’s Dito At Doon and 2023’s Love You Long Time.

The visuals relive the formidable years of high school romance: its thrill, messiness, and everything in between.

According to Habac, the concept behind the visual narrative is all about taking risks. 

Ace Banzuelo stars as the dreamy student navigating the most painful and endearing parts of adolescence while getting entangled in a relationship mishap.

“I'm happy to express myself freely, not only as a musician but also as an actor in my music videos. I enjoyed collaborating with direk JP as the experience gave me more ways to execute this video authentically.” ~Ace Banzuelo, Filipino Singer-Songwriter and Producer

As for Habac, he appreciates the Muli performer for his valuable inputs on the project. 

The MV also stars young actors Pauline Quijano, Jack Burgos, and Nour Hooshmand, who also played an important role in the music video of his previously released single, “Tadhana.”

Ace Banzuelo’s “Meron Ba” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video here.
