IN EVERY CRISIS OPPORTUNITIES ARISE. When the economic turmoil of 1983 disrupted the supply of imported canned sardines in the Philippines, Century Canning Corp. (now Century Pacific Food Inc.) turned to its expertise in tuna canning and ventured into sardines processing. Mr. Ricardo Po, Sr., the company’s founder who had a marketing background, knew that the brand should stand out. 555 Sardines, a brand with easy recall, was thus born and became the company’s first home-grown brand.

555 has been committed to providing Filipinos affordable nutrition and, over the years, the brand became equated to good quality and affordability, which enabled it to be the reputable brand it is right now. Realizing the need of consumers brought about by the pandemic, 555 Corned Sardines was launched in 2021. This new product offered consumers product versatility at a very affordable price.

Recently, the brand was also recognized as the 5th Fastest Growing Brand in 2021 by Kantar Philippines based on consumer reach points.

This year, 555 will continue to put consumers at the heart of all it does. The brand will keep on engaging and understanding its consumers to ensure that its brand activities resonate with them and address their needs.
