What started as an everyday choice in Filipino kitchens evolved into a nationwide act of compassion. Driven by the support of loyal consumers, the ‘Share-the-Love with Heart Mate’ campaign exceeded expectations, raising ₱1,227,450 for the Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation, Inc. (PGHMFI), surpassing its original ₱1 million pledge.
The official turnover was held on November 27, 2025, at Robinsons Supermarket Ermita, marking a milestone for Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil and reinforcing its commitment to community wellness through purpose-driven partnerships.
Running from July 15 to October 15, 2025, the campaign transformed simple grocery purchases into meaningful contributions. For every bottle of Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil bought at Robinsons Supermarket during the period, ₱5 was donated to PGHMFI—allowing households across the country to support PGH’s medical programs through their daily cooking routines.
As the leading canola oil brand in the Philippines, Jolly Heart Mate is widely trusted for its heart-healthy benefits. It contains zero cholesterol, is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and has the lowest saturated fat compared to other dietary fats—helping reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke while remaining ideal for everyday Filipino dishes.
“We want to dedicate and honor the loyal consumers of Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil today,” said Fly Ace Corporation Vice President for Marketing Abigail Ng-Reyes. “They have shown care not only for their families’ health, but also for fellow Filipinos. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Jolly Heart Mate—25 years of advocating heart health for every Filipino family. We are deeply humbled by the trust and support that allowed Heart Mate to become the number one canola oil brand in the market.”
The donation is already making a tangible difference, directly supporting medical assistance, equipment, and essential services for PGH patients—particularly those facing critical and financially challenging situations.
“Maraming, maraming salamat po for the donation,” said PGHMFI Chairman and President Dr. Telesforo E. Gana Jr. “We help indigent patients through medical assistance, laboratory tests done outside the hospital, and by providing equipment and supplies beyond our budget. These donations strengthen all aspects of our work.”
Philippine General Hospital Director Dr. Gap Legaspi echoed this appreciation, noting that the contribution would help bridge critical gaps when patients urgently need access to medicines and medical supplies.
The collaboration between Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil and Robinsons Supermarket highlighted how everyday consumer choices, when aligned with a shared purpose, can uplift communities and save lives. The campaign’s conclusion underscored a simple but powerful idea—cooking can be an act of love that extends far beyond the home.
Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. President and CEO Stanley Co affirmed this shared mission, saying the partnership demonstrated how supermarkets can become spaces where compassion and community converge, turning daily shopping into opportunities to help others.
Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil continues to champion wellness, compassion, and community empowerment, enabling Filipinos to make a difference both in their kitchens and in the lives of those who need it most.
