One of the most well-known Filipino global corporations is Jollibee Foods Corporation.
In this essay, we will discuss its history, worldwide reach, and attributes as a global corporation.
Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) is a Filipino multinational chain of fast-food restaurants
that was founded in 1975 by Tony Tan Caktiong. It started as a small ice cream parlor in Quezon
City, Philippines, and has since expanded to become the largest fast-food chain in the country.
JFC is known for its flagship product, the "Chickenjoy," a fried chicken dish that is highly
popular in the Philippines and in other countries where Jollibee has a presence.
In the early 1980s, JFC expanded its operations beyond the Philippines by opening its
first international branch in Brunei. Since then, it has continued to expand its worldwide reach
and currently has over 1,400 stores in more than 30 countries, including the United States,
Canada, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia, among others.
One of the key attributes of JFC as a global corporation is its strong brand recognition
and marketing strategy. The company has successfully adapted its menu to cater to local tastes
and preferences in each country it operates in, which has contributed to its continued success and
growth. For example, Jollibee's menu in the United States includes items like the "Aloha Burger"
and the "Spam Sandwich," which are popular in Hawaii and among Filipino Americans.
Another attribute of JFC is its commitment to social responsibility and sustainability. The
company has launched various initiatives to promote environmental sustainability, including
reducing waste and promoting sustainable packaging. Additionally, JFC has also launched
programs to support local communities, such as providing free meals to frontliners and
supporting small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In conclusion, Jollibee Foods Corporation is a Filipino global corporation that has
achieved significant success through its strong brand recognition, successful marketing
strategies, and commitment to social responsibility and sustainability. With its continued
expansion into new markets, JFC is likely to remain a major player in the global fast-food
industry for years to come.

Instructions: Research on any agency or branch office of the United Nations in your locality. In
essay form, write a short description of its background, its objectives, and the challenges that it
has encountered in the Philippines.

The primary objective of the UNDP Philippines office is to promote sustainable and
inclusive development in the country. It focuses on three main areas: inclusive and sustainable
growth, democratic governance, and resilience and sustainable development. In pursuing these
goals, the UNDP Philippines office provides technical assistance, policy advice, and financial
support to the government and other partners.
One of the challenges that the UNDP Philippines office has encountered in the country is
the persistent problem of poverty and inequality. Despite being one of the fastest-growing
economies in the region, the Philippines still has a high poverty rate, with over 16% of the
population living below the poverty line. The UNDP Philippines office has been working closely
with the government to address this issue through various programs and initiatives that aim to
promote inclusive growth and reduce inequality.
Another challenge that the UNDP Philippines office has faced is the impact of natural
disasters on the country's development. The Philippines is prone to typhoons, earthquakes, and
other natural disasters, which can have devastating effects on the economy and people's
livelihoods. The UNDP Philippines office has been working to build the resilience of
communities and institutions to these shocks through disaster risk reduction and management
programs.
In recent years, the UNDP Philippines office has also been working to support the
government's efforts to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are a
set of 17 global goals that aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and promote peace and
prosperity for all. The UNDP Philippines office has been working with the government and other
partners to integrate the SDGs into national development plans and promote their
implementation across different sectors.
Overall, the UNDP Philippines office plays a critical role in promoting sustainable and
inclusive development in the country. While it faces challenges such as poverty, natural
disasters, and the implementation of the SDGs, the office remains committed to working with the
government and other partners to overcome these obstacles and achieve its objectives.
