Santé CEO Joey Marcelo welcomes guests to Santé’s 16th Anniversary Press Conference

SILANG, Cavite – Introducing a new product to the market and honing a brand is no easy task.

With its mantra of Live More. Do More., Santé continues its goal of offering Filipinos high-quality barley grass products to enhance their health and well-being, while also serving as a preferred partner for achieving a better life. Within sixteen years, Santé has dominated the barley grass industry and successfully risen up to be on top, positioning the brand as the barley authority that Filipinos can take pride in. 

This was the theme of Santé’s 16th Anniversary, which kicked off with a press conference at the Santé International Headquarters in Silang, Cavite on Monday, August 14. Guests gathered to commemorate Santé’s significant milestones from its humble beginnings to where the brand is now: at the top, yet still rising up to the challenge of making an impact on people's well-being and quality of life, extending beyond borders and touching the lives of individuals across countries and cultures to help them live better lives.

During the press conference, Joey Marcelo, Santé’s Chief Executive Officer, unveiled Santé’s expansion plans to tap more markets globally, emphasizing Santé’s strength as a Filipino brand with an impactful global presence, currently operating in 10 countries.

Santé is fully prepared to address this demand by further expanding its business owners’ reach through retail and global expansion, providing Filipinos all around the globe with the necessary support to live better lives. 

“We are more than just a Filipino company when we uplift our business partners, we are also uplifting the communities they belong to through our quality products and services,” Marcelo said. Santé, at its core, is a Filipino company, from its foundation to its operations, the brand aims to help fellow countrymen wherever they are across the globe.  “It’s definitely a brand that the Philippines can be proud of, and our track record speaks for itself,” Marcelo added.

Also present in the press conference was Santé’s Chief Operating Officer, Mike Sibayan who highlighted the strength of Santé’s business operations and supply chain. With direct selling at its core, business partners are provided a self-owned entrepreneurial platform with flexible working hours, additional income, and the benefits of actual employees in a standard company.  “This, along with Santé’s global presence, our partners are exposed to various cultures and learning best practices from a diverse set of individuals all united under Santé’s vision of a healthy lifestyle and financial security make the brand the premier employer of choice,” Sibayan added.

The event also highlighted the company’s 16th-anniversary gathering for its business owners, partners, and special guests, which will take place on August 15 at SMX Convention Center. Hosted by James Deakin, the event will treat Santé’s loyal partners with a day of inspiration through its guest speakers, Angeline Tham Xiwen the founder of Angkas, Chinkee Tan, the Pambansang Wealth Coach, and influential motivational speaker and author Francis J. Kong.

Santé’s event will also feature its elite leaders who achieved a financial boost through their business partnership with the company. “We will also be recognizing significant members who have delivered growth and amazing results through their business with Santé,” said Marketing Director, Lorelie Acop. “Santé is all about empowering our partners, which is why we dedicated a special gathering for them to recognize their achievements, which helped the company Rise Up to its status today,” Acop added.

Quezon City, Philippines – December 6, 2023 - Breaking down barriers to education, Santé, one of the fastest-growing distribution and direct selling companies globally, dedicated to helping people live better lives, unveils the completed classroom for Silad Elementary School on the remote island of Silad in Agutaya, Palawan, as part of the "Go the Extra Mile with Santé Daily-C" initiative, last July 2023.

Access to a conducive education is still a challenge in Silad, Palawan. Over 100 children on the island were unable to complete their primary education due to inadequate facilities. Committed to helping people live better lives, Santé took on the challenge to bridge this educational gap.

The project was made possible because of the “Go the Extra Mile with Santé Daily-C ” initiative, where every purchase of Santé Daily-C 750mg from June 15 to July 15, 2023, contributed to supporting Silad Elementary School. A portion of the profit generated was specifically designated for essentials needed to build a new classroom that can withstand typhoons. 

Demonstrating their commitment to going the extra mile, the Santé marketing team  flew to Silad on December 6, 2023, to officially turn over the newly built classroom. The Sante team also extended help to families by donating groceries and Sante products while Pastor Philip focused on empowering Silad's children, offering them necessary school supplies to aid their studies.

Behind this initiative was Pastor Philip Le Roux,   a member of the Santé Barley Tri-Team and a missionary, and his wife, Vina Le Roux. As a teacher of Christianity and the Bible to the kids in Silad, he expressed the concern about the student’s dire condition to Santé. Pastor Philip emphasized the opportunity to enhance the learning space for students, aiming to create an environment that fosters better academic engagement and provides essential tools for students to excel.  The existing bamboo and old wood structures were unable to withstand the typhoon-prone environment, thus hindering the children's access to a conducive and high-quality education. That’s why fueled by Sante's CSR initiative, "Sante Cares," and under the leadership of CEO Joey Marcelo, a collaborative effort was initiated to champion this shared cause.
    

“I see the situation in Silad as an opportunity to support the children, as I am confident that they can achieve remarkable accomplishments with improved learning spaces,” Pastor Philip shared.

When Santé was tapped to help on this project, it was only fitting for Santé CEO Joey Marcelo to embrace the opportunity to make a significant impact. “We are more than happy in Santé to be the string of hope for these kids. I am happy about how we can help nurture the dreams of the next generation,” Marcelo said.

Santé has more plans to conduct initiatives that will provide children with the chance to receive proper and conducive education—the kind they deserve . The "Go the Extra Mile with Santé Daily-C" is part of Santé's CSR initiative, Santé Cares, established in 2020 during the pandemic. Originally devised to aid the Santé community, the initiative was subsequently expanded to include other communities beyond Santé.
