Mega Global has been winning the hearts of Filipino families from one generation to another for almost 40 years. Aside from providing high-quality, value-for-money products, the country’s top manufacturer of ready-to-eat viands and canned goods strives to enrich peoples’ lives with its relentless efforts to bring forward several improvements and innovations in terms of packaging and food technology.

As a result, Filipino consumers have professed their loyalty to the brand, praising its commitment towards a rewarding and engaging dining experience for contemporary Filipino families who have to deal with the pressure of adapting to modern lifestyle and crammed schedules.

This persistence to strike a balance between convenience and quality has made Mega Global products a lifesaver, establishing a strong foothold among varying markets across the nation.

Mega Global’s extensive line of premium brands—Mega Sardines, Mega Creations, Valley Farm and Oh My Ulam!—have become an integral part of our daily food consumption. Each brand offers a unique way of capturing the sensibility and emotional affinity inherent to family-loving Filipinos.

Healthy and Natural   

Over the years, Mega Sardines has earned a reputation of being the Top of Mind choice of most households that prefer high-quality and great-tasting canned sardines. Conchita Mae Suarez, a housewife and a mother of three kids, can attest to this claim. “I’ve always been a firm believer of Mega Sardines,” she relates. “My husband and kids are familiar with its taste. They really love it when sautéed with garlic and onions. And now that I’ve discovered that it can also be added to our regular dishes like Misua and Caldereta, it is my new cooking partner “

To date, Mega Sardines remains to be a dominant canned sardines brand in the domestic market, offering the freshest and healthiest options for trendy moms who are protective of their families. It can also be used as a special ingredient to a variety of home-cooked dishes, therefore emphasizing its versatile qualities as a culinary recipe. As the local parlance goes, “sari-sari ang sarap”.

One of its popular variants, Mega Sardines in Tomato Sauce has no preservatives and is ready to eat. The catching-to-canning process is completed within 12 hours from catching, minimizing histamine levels and delivering the optimal amounts of protein, calcium and Omega 3 oils—essential nutrients that reduce the risk of heart problems.

Variety  

Sheila Caliboso, a licensed architect from Quezon City, sometimes finds it hard to cook meals due to her hectic schedule. “My travel time from Taguig to Fairview vice-versa is pretty challenging,” says the mom of 2 kids. “Thank goodness for Valley Farm and Mega Creations, I can now prepare hearty meals for my children without having to worry about time.”

Valley Farm, Mega Global’s latest offering in the canned food market, takes pride in their positioning as the only luncheon meat in the Philippines with real meat chunks. With its meat chunks blended in selected spices, Valley Farm gives kids the best-tasting luncheon meat that they can enjoy in all meals, most especially during breakfasts. “I’ve tried making a Luncheon Meat Maki out of Valley Farm,” Ms. Caliboso narrates. “The kids instantly fell in love with it, and so as their classmates. I had to prepare more servings because they like to share and give back. It was a heart-warming experience.”

Sheila Caliboso also shares her experience with Mega Creations, another culinary sardine line of Mega Global. “On weekends, I usually experiment with the dishes I serve to my family, and Mega Creations really helped me discover new ways on how to innovate my cooking,” she enthuses. “So far, I’ve done Fried Sardine Gyoza, Escabeche Sardine Patties, Aglio Olio and a bunch of gourmet dishes using Mega Creations Spanish Style and Mega Creations Natural Oil.”

Mega Creations, a non-tomato based sardine brand, is more than just a versatile culinary component that you can use to complement any dish. It also offers basic ready-to-eat convenience for moms who consider cooking as an expression of love and happiness.

Utmost Convenience and Value For Money   

For working adults who are entangled with the fast-paced facets of modern living, Mega Global has another surprise right up your alley. Oh My Ulam!, another entry in the ready-to-eat viand market, is the only brand that comes with the convenience of easy-open can packaging. It takes pride in being the only ready-to-eat ulam that uses real meat and spices for that authentic home-  cooked experience.

Call center agent Jeremy Sinco brings one to the office whenever he’s in a hurry. “Oh My Ulam! tastes like something my lovely mom would cook for us during lunch or dinner,” Sinco tells us. “It’s easy to open. I can eat it anywhere, anytime I want”.

With a lot of Filipino BPO professionals pressured by the demands of the industry, there is simply no other brand that is as convenient, time-saving and “sulit” as Oh My Ulam, which comes in 3 variants namely Lechon Paksiw, Pork Adobo and Mechado. Sinco further reiterates, “You have to try Oh My Ulam Pork Adobo. I tried making Adobo rice using it. And guess what? My family thought it was the real deal. They absolutely enjoyed every bit of that meal.” No other brand brings real value in what consumers buy other than Oh My Ulam
