Beginnings
Mekeni Food Corporation made its public debut in 1997 after operation more than a decade earlier as a succesfull family enterprise engaged in meat processing. This came at the heals of the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption in 1991.
Surveying the devatation of the natural disaster brought upon the townsfolk of Porac, Pampanga, Felix "Tatang" Garcia and wife Medicia "Ima" Garcia, gathered their five accomplished sons - Adrian, Pruds, Lito, Doods, Nard - and Issued a challenge:
"We must do our
share to re-kindle hope in the hearts of our
neighbors... it is our obligation to help them rise from despair and
adversities... and God shall be the center of this effort."
Working hand-in-hand with the
people of barangay Balubad, Porac,
Pampanga, the Garcia family focus on the niche that slowly captured a
modes share of the meat processing market in the country. The
inauguration of its state-of-the-art meat processing plant in 2003 gave
more employment opportunities for the once lahar damaged community.
