Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) Batangas Plant sets benchmark for Manufacturing Excellence and Sustainability

By continuing to innovate and expand its Sto. Tomas plant, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the nation's sole producer of PepsiCo beverages, is solidifying its position as a leader in the Philippine beverage sector.  Within its nationwide network, the Tomas, Batangas Plant is one of the most cutting-edge and environmentally friendly establishments.

PCPPI's ambitious transformation path includes expanding operations and integrating industry-leading standards in food safety, production, environmental stewardship, and community involvement. The Sto. Tomas Plant is a prime example of operational excellence and growth driven by purpose, demonstrating these goals.

Innovation and Quality

The Sto. Tomas facility is where the Southern Tagalog Regional Office (STRO) is located.  The Tomas factory is now PCPPI's most sophisticated bottle production location.  The company's latest PET line, which is devoted to making carbonated soft drinks in highly recyclable PET bottles, increases production capacity and strengthens its dedication to sustainability and circularity.

With seven fully operational lines, the facility currently produces the well-known PepsiCo drinks that Filipinos have been enjoying for more than 70 years.  Every bottle made demonstrates PCPPI's rigorous adherence to global standards for food safety, quality, and operations.

“Every bottle tells a story of quality, innovation, and purpose. The Sto. Tomas plant is a shining example of our commitment to building a future-ready organization that delivers both business excellence and meaningful impact. This transformation is no longer just a program: it’s a movement. We are building a resilient, high-performing organization guided by courageous people and enabled by world-class systems.” ~Phyo Phyu Noe, PCPPI President and CEO

Commitment to Food Safety

PCPPI is the epitome of excellence, exemplified by dedication and constancy.  12 of the company's manufacturing sites across the country, including Sto. Tomas plant.  The highly sought-after Food Safety System Certification (FSSC), a widely accepted standard, was recommended for Tomas.

Because it validates the company's ability to manufacture safe food and packaging products, reduce operational risks, execute resource optimization initiatives, fortify supply chain partnerships, and maintain strict food safety protocols, FSSC certification offers PCPPI a distinct competitive edge.

The FSSC-recommended facilities include plants in Santo Tomas, Muntinlupa, San Fernando, Rosario, Davao, Bacolod, Naga, Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Tanauan, and Cebu City.

Sustainability at the Core

Sustainability practices are deeply embedded in the Sto. Tomas plant’s daily operations. PCPPI’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) milestones highlight its progress on multiple fronts:

• 13,000 metric tons of post-consumer plastic collected under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Law
• 237 million liters of water saved through conservation and reuse technologies
• 44% reduction in inventory losses thanks to improved supply chain and planning systems

These accomplishments reflect PCPPI’s unwavering focus on water stewardship, plastic circularity, and energy efficiency, proving that growth and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

Building the Future

Following the conclusion of its Annual Stockholders' Meeting, PCPPI reiterated its transformation plan, which is based on responsible business practices, innovation, and agility.  In 2025, the Sto. Tomas plant is preparing for the next stage of life.  A major facilitator of this trip is the Tomas plant.

The Sto. Tomas plant goes beyond superior production quality.  Through employment creation, business support, and community engagement, Tomas Plant actively supports regional development. Currently, more than 600 people from Batangas and the neighboring areas work at the factory.

The Sto. Tomas plant is commemorating PCPPI's anniversary this month.  Its long-term dedication to people, the environment, and performance—creating a more robust and sustainable future for the Philippine beverage industry—is symbolized by the Sto. Tomas plant.

Red Bull Half Court Brings Another Explosive Season of the World’s Biggest Streetball Tournament to the Philippines

Prepare your teams as Red Bull Half Court makes a triumphant return to the Philippines for a brand-new season that promises unrivaled intensity, unadulterated willpower, and intense action. In order to qualify for the Red Bull Half Court World Final, which will be held in the United Arab Emirates in November, up-and-coming local talent must demonstrate their abilities in the largest 3-on-3 streetball competition.

The Ultimate Streetball Tournament is Back in the Philippines

Players worldwide may now play the fastest variation of 3-on-3 streetball thanks to Red Bull Half Court.  Red Bull Half Court, in collaboration with FILA and Spalding, will host qualifying rounds in five continents with more than 20 competing nations, including the rookies from South Africa, Norway, and Kosovo.

“Year after year, Red Bull Half court continues to push the game forward. Seeing the sport grow in new countries and watching these athletes bring their best is truly special. I can’t wait to see who makes it to the World FInal in the UAE.” ~Chris ‘Lethal Shooter’ Matthews, Legendary NBA Shooting Coach

Teams of three players compete in Red Bull Half floor games, which only occupy half the floor like traditional basketball.  FIBA regulations govern the games, which have a 10-minute regulation time limit and a 21-point maximum.  A match's winner is the player who scores the most points in regulation time or the player who scores the most points first.

The game will take an unexpected turn when teams that score the most points in all games get the "Own the Court" bonus, which will help them move on to the next round.  Two special circles behind the arc allow 3-pointers to make 3-pointers, which speeds up and intensifies the game.

In the Philippines, Red Bull Half Court and 7-Eleven are stepping up the ante for their 2025 season by implementing a new two-day qualification round tournament structure.  Regional qualifiers will be held in Manila on September 27 and 28, Cebu on September 13 and 14, and Davao on August 30 and 31.  The qualification match is scheduled for the second day, while the elimination rounds are scheduled for the first day.  The teams that win each regional qualifier will go to the Red Bull Half Court National Final in Manila on October 18. There, they will compete against a few wildcard teams for the opportunity to represent the Philippines at the Red Bull Half Court World Final in the United Arab Emirates.
