What began as a simple choice in the kitchen became a nationwide movement of compassion.
Inspired by the compassion of loyal Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil consumers, the ‘Share-the-Love with Heart Mate’ campaign went beyond a simple commitment and transformed into an extraordinary act of bayanihan — surpassing the initial ₱1 million pledge and raising ₱1,227,450 for the Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation, Inc. (PGHMFI). The official turnover took place on November 27, 2025, at Robinsons Supermarket Ermita, in partnership with Robinsons Supermarket, marking a significant milestone for the brand, reinforcing its commitment to community wellness and compassionate advocacy.

The donation is the culmination of the “Share-the-Love with Heart Mate” campaign, which ran from July 15 to October 15, 2025. For every Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil product purchased at Robinsons Supermarket during this period, ₱5 was donated to PGHMFI. This simple act allowed Filipino households to transform everyday cooking moments into meaningful contributions that help strengthen PGH’s medical programs and services.
Recognized as the leading canola oil brand in the Philippines, Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil is beloved and trusted for its superior heart-healthy benefits. It contains zero cholesterol, is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and has the lowest saturated fat versus dietary fats which can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke with every delicious dish cooked at home. Ideal for daily cooking, Jolly Heart Mate remains a trusted staple in Filipino kitchens.
“We want to dedicate and honor the loyal consumers of Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil today. They have not only shown love, health, and wellness for their families, but have also extended their generosity to their fellow Filipinos,” said Fly Ace Corporation Vice President for Marketing Abigail Ng-Reyes. “This year marks the 25th anniversary of Jolly Heart Mate — 25 years of advocating heart health for every Filipino family. We are very humbled as a company that throughout these 25 years, our consumers have given their trust, love, and support to Heart Mate, allowing us to become the number one canola oil brand in the market today.”
The donation is already making an impact, with funds directly supporting essential medical programs and services for PGH patients, especially those navigating the most challenging moments of their lives.
“Maraming, maraming, maraming salamat po for the donation,” said PGHMFI Chairman and President Dr. Telesforo E. Gana Jr. . “We help indigent patients directly through medical assistance — assisting them with laboratory tests that need to be done outside — and by providing equipment and supplies that are beyond our budget. All of these donations go to the different aspects of our work, whether it’s direct patient assistance or supplying the instruments and equipment that may be needed.”
Echoing this sentiment, Philippine General Hospital Director Dr. Gap Legaspi expressed his appreciation: “Thank you very much for this. I think this will be a big help in bridging that [critical] period when patients urgently need access to goods or medicines.”
Through this collaboration, Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil and Robinsons Supermarket demonstrated how purpose-driven partnerships can uplift communities and bring hope to those in need. The turnover ceremony marked the culmination of a campaign that turned cooking into an act of love — nurturing the health of families at home while improving the lives of others across the country.
Affirming this shared vision, Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc. President and CEO Stanley Co shared: “We are honored to stand by Fly Ace, our true ‘Heart Mate.’ This shared mission of bringing goodness home and bringing good food home is all about turning everyday shopping into an opportunity to uplift communities. When we unite for a greater cause, we show that a supermarket can be more than a place to shop — it can be a place where hearts come together.”
Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil remains committed to championing wellness, compassion, and community empowerment, helping Filipinos make a difference both in their kitchens and beyond.
