- Labor & Human Rights
- On Indeed in 2024, employee reviews included very low salary and long work hours. In an unofficial Philbest Canning Facebook group in January 2025, an anonymous poster asked if it is difficult to work at canning (factory). Another user answered that a worker may need to stand 12 hours straight. On the Philbest Canning Facebook page in March 2025, a user complained about uniforms being sold without guarantee of employment. In a video and press release of his surprise inspection at other canning companies in April 2025, Sen. Raffy Tulfo mentioned that uniforms should be free for employees. Another user commented on a job hiring post that applicants are only wasting money on the application since they are asked to ‘stay home’ in the middle of training.
Stink Radius
At least 7,300 people lived within a half mile of this plant, over 2,000 of them under the age of 15, while more than 405,900 lived within a five-mile radius, of which over 113,100 were under the age of 15, according to 2025 data from World Pop, a research institute based at the University of Southampton. This matters because it gives a sense of how many neighbors experience the quality of life concerns and health impacts of the foul stench of rotting fish and other toxic chemicals released into the air.
Supply Chain
PhilBest Canning Corp is related to at least four companies downstream, including three importers, and one mill.
