It's always a joy to hear about companies giving back to the community, that it's not all about bottomline. It goes to show that they are also an enterprise and not simply a business entity. 

Jolly Heart Mate does just that. It partnered with The Philippine Heart Center (PHC), cardiac rehabilitation section, to celebrate the National Cardiac Rehabilitation week, June 19 – 27. The goal of the activity is to educate its patients and staff to take care of their hearts’ health and well-being. PHC is the pioneer in the field of Cardiac Rehabilitation in the country and it also champions the prevention of cardiac diseases and quick recovery of patients with heart diseases.

The week-long activity, in partnership with Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil, included talks on lifestyle and healthy tips from various dietitians and nutritionists. Jolly Heart Mate resident chef DJ Santos from CCA-Manila also conducted a cooking demo to share recipes that are heart-friendly and healthy. Jolly Heart Mate Ambassador Chef Donita Rose made a surprise appearance and happily took selfies with the patients and doctors in the hospital. She also gave a talk emphasizing the value of giving attention to healthy eating.

“We must always be conscious that the ingredients we use should be good for the heart, like Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil which contains the lowest amount of bad fats (saturated fats) but packs in the good kind like omega 3 and 6,” Chef Donita shared.

Jolly Heart Mate Canola Oil also offered free nutrition counselling and body mass index check during the celebration for PHC’s out patients.


“We are very honored to take part in this noble cause of the Philippine Heart Center, section of cardiac rehabilitation, in educating Filipinos on how to take care of their hearts. We believe that little lifestyle upgrades, like choosing healthy cooking ingredients, especially in their cooking oil, will make a big difference in improving one’s health,” concluded Fly Ace Corporation Group Category Manager for Oils Zen Prudentino.
