PHILIPPINES
Philippines
An archipelago nation whose southern island of Mindanao anchors one of the world's great fisheries: General Santos is the tuna capital, and Zamboanga the heart of the sardine industry. Century Pacific, the dominant producer, packs tuna and sardines under brands including Century, 555, Ligo, and Blue Bay; Mega leads in Zamboanga sardines; and Visayan producers such as Victorias pack the Spanish-style sardines beloved across the islands. Tuna and sardines in oil, tomato, and spiced styles define the Filipino pack.
