Comm Res 160 Journal Entry No. 23

For this day were asked to do some tasks. The most interesting of which is the trade check where we went out and look for newly established restaurants.

We checked this new doughnut and coffee chain named J.Co Donuts & Coffee in SM Megamall. This doughnut and coffee store is based from Bali, Indonesia and has a few outlets yet in the Philippines. They offer different flavored donuts which really looks and tastes good. Each doughnut cost around  42 to 45 pesos. We ordered Oreology, Glazzy, Meisisipi, Avocado Dicaprio, Alcapone and Berry Spears. It costed around 250 pesos for 1/2 dozen.

To give you an idea how delectable their doughnuts look like, J.Co Donuts & Coffee Philippines has a facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/JCoDonuts.Pilipinas.

The other duties in the office we did in the office today are: the continuation of the KFC product ideation (which I am not part of since I'm attending to some other duties), the conceptualization for the blog title of the San Miguel Purefoods - Great Food Solutions website/blogsite, the editing of the previous Euromonitor International studies we did a presentation on (Chilled Processed Foods in the Philippines and Consumer Foodservice in the Philippines), the directory for the advertising agencies, and the visiting and compiling of the articles from the Coke Solutions website. I did the latter while my other co-interns focused on the other tasks I mentioned.

The Coke Solutions website is where Coca-Cola, the global brand, gives tips and advice on almost everything (including: hiring employees tips, starting up a business, using appropriate marketing strategies, offering other ways to serve coke, etc.). I was not able to finish looking for all the articles posted in this website of Coca-Cola and decided to continue doing it at home.

My other co-interns meanwhile, focused on the other assignments. Ivan did the improving of the Euromonitor powerpoint presentation (Chilled Processed Foods in the Philippines and Consumer Foodservice in the Philippines) while Anton was tasked to do the research on the ad agencies directory. Marg on the other hand, worked on the finishing of the KFC product ideation whereas everyone of us was obliged to think of a possible blog title for GFS.
