For attaining operational and entrepreneurial success, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the sole manufacturer of PepsiCo products in the nation, received the Corporate Excellence Award at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2022. The APEA ceremony, which took place on October 20, 2022 in Penang, Malaysia, also gave Frederick D. Ong, president and CEO of PCPPI, the Master Entrepreneur Award. This award recognizes business trailblazers whose tenacious entrepreneurial spirit serves as an example to upcoming leaders.

Since joining PCPPI in 2020, Ong has led the organization in embracing digitization and organizational transformation. He was instrumental in driving the renewal of PCPPI’s go-to-market strategy and the strengthening of its distribution network and expansion of PCPPI’s product portfolio.

PCPPI has also demonstrated its resilience and agility in the face of adversity. Even at the height of the global pandemic, PCPPI remained true to its sustainability commitment with clear focus on developing talent, ensuring profitability, and being responsible stewards of the environment. The organization continued to drive operational efficiencies while ensuring employee well-being. PCPPI also supports health and safety initiatives in the local communities where it operates.

Ong attributed PCPPI’s success to the organization’s initiatives to uphold the ICARE (Integrity and Innovation, Care and Respect, and Excellence and Empowerment) values in how it conducts business and the manner in which employees interact and collaborate.

“Despite recent challenges, PCPPI‘s commitment to our values and our vision remains strong,” said Ong. “We extend our appreciation to the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards for recognizing our contributions to the country’s sustainable growth. These awards motivate us at PCPPI to continue driving business growth without compromise to our commitments to our stakeholders,” he added.

APEA is a regional recognition program spearheaded by non-government organization Enterprise Asia. The annual awards honor organizations and leaders that demonstrate remarkable performance and leadership while remaining true to their social responsibilities.

In addition to the most recent recognition from APEA, Ong was recently selected by the Asia Leaders Awards as one of the Top 50 Rising Tigers in the Asia Pacific. Additionally, PCPPI won the 2022 Golden Globe Tigers Awards for Excellence in the Production of Learning Content and Best Change Management Initiative (for Project SWIFT).
