SBCorp president and chief executive officer Ma. Luna Cacanando stated in an earlier statement that the company wants to collaborate with major food producers to assist restart, develop, and expand micro, small, and medium businesses (MSMEs) in the food supply chain.

STAPLES is a credit product designed to keep food providers viable while also ensuring food security and affordability in the nation.

When MSMEs in the food supply chain are able to continue functioning, they will be able to retain or rehire their workers and serve their communities.

FMCG food producers must be major businesses with a national network of at least 20 distributors and at least 100,000 sari-sari shops integrated into their salesforce automation system to be certified partners, with yearly sales of at least PHP5 billion.
