ChilePork delights the Philippines at Its annual event in Manila

On October 15th a delegation of Chilean pork companies travelled to Manila to celebrate ChilePork’s fourth annual event in the Philippines, with the goal of further strengthening the presence of Chilean pork in the local market and culinary scene.

The gathering, organized by the Chilean Meat Exporters Association (ChileCarne) under its sector brand ChilePork, brought together more than 110 guests, including Chefs, importers, and representatives from the Filipino gastronomic sector, who enjoyed an exclusive gala dinner.

The evening began with welcoming remarks by Mr. Pedro Pizarro, Consul of Chile in the Philippines, who put the focus on the relationships between Chile and Philippines and the continuous efforts of pork companies in getting established on the Filipino market.

After this, Mr. Roberto Umali, Exceutive Director of the National Meat Inspection Service, took the stage to highlight the quality of the Chilean pork meat and its good performance on the safety and biosecurity areas.

Next, Mr. Juan Carlos Domínguez, President of the Chilean Meat Exporters Association, ChileCarne, took the stage to share key information about Chile and its export-oriented vision: “Four years ago, we began exporting pork and chicken to the Philippines, and today it is a market that is becoming well established. More than two containers leave Chile daily for this market. The Philippines is the gateway to ASEAN, and we hope to carry out similar activities in Vietnam and Indonesia in the near future,” Mr. Domínguez emphasized.

On the second part of the event, guests were treated to a live cooking show in hands of the culinary team of the Grand Hyatt Manila, who prepared step by step dishes where the pork was the main ingredient and then served them for the attendance to taste it and get to know more about the Chilean pork.

With this event and the fourth consecutive annual visit to the Philippines, ChilePork reaffirms its commitment to promoting Chilean pork in the country, highlighting the main features of the product: its versatility, healthy, and high-quality product, capable of captivating the most discerning palates and strengthening its position as a premium choice in the Filipino market.
