Perspective
The company was founded by Corazon Dayro Ong and her husband Jose Ong on June 25, 1975 as small business in her residence in Valenzuela.[1] The business was initially known as CDO Food Products with "CDO" derived from the initials of the founder. Their house was transformed into a home factory.[2] CDO started selling siopao with a longanisa filling, longanisa and tocino products.[3]
In 1981, the company registered as a corporation under the name CDO Foodsphere Inc. with CDO as the flagship brand.[2]
It opened its first modern factory in Canumay, still in Valenzuela in 1990 amidst the early 1990s financial crisis. It opened its second factory in 1997, and they started their first canning line and launched CDO Karne Norte.[2]
In June 2009, it opened its 9 hectares (22 acres) factory in Brgy. Bulihan, Malvar, Batangas.[4]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, CDO Foodsphere launched the Million Meats Project to address hunger among Filipino families affected by the crisis. The project aimed to produce and distribute one million cans of CDO meat loaf to severely impacted communities. Initial distributions took place in Malvar, Batangas, and eventually expanded to other areas, benefiting thousands of households, including approximately 57,000 in Valenzuela City and nearly 4,000 in Malabon City.[5]
