Mondelēz International in the Philippines was again named the Top Importer under the Formal Entry Division by the Manila International Container Port (MICP) of the Bureau of Customs (BoC) for 2021.
This marked the 4th year in a row when the snacks company, maker of beloved brands such as Tang, Eden Cheese, Cheez Whiz, Toblerone, Cadbury, Oreo and Tiger, has been given this distinction.
The BoC recognized Mondelēz International for its valuable support to the MICP, contributing to the collection efforts of the latter for the year 2021.
“Maintaining the continuity of food supply, especially during the past two years, for our retail partners and consumers is essential,” said Marilou Salomon, Customer Service and Logistics Lead for Mondelēz International in the Philippines.
“The pandemic has resulted in global logistics challenges, as such building the resilience of our supply chain is as important as ever. One of the ways we achieve this is by working closely with agencies like the Bureau of Customs and the Manila International Container Port, ensuring full compliance with the agencies’ laws and regulations. This allows us to deliver the right snack at the right moment to consumers and retail partners in the different regions where we are available. We are thankful for this recognition from the BoC and MICP and aim to continue our best-in-class partnership for the Filipino consumers,” Salomon added.
The award was conferred on February 2, 2022 at the MICP offices by its officials District Collector Romeo Allan R. Rosales and Chief Customs Operations Officer Antonio Meliton Pascual.
