Thus, Alfamart Philippines—a joint venture between Alfamart Indonesia and SM Retail—continues to help uplift communities by giving Filipino families not only access and convenience to basic grocery but also employment for locals and business opportunities for MSMEs business by being Alfamart partners whether as a lessor, tenant, or contractor.

“Before the pandemic, store staff are simply tinderos and tinderas, but now with all the effort that they put in braving the restrictions, they’re our economic frontliners. So, it’s important to appreciate them more, for being able to contribute more and having a bigger purpose,” Ong said.

“Our customers have come to rely on us for their daily and weekly essentials.
