First and foremost, it remains a very exciting time for our country as its economy
continues to be one of the best performing in both the region and the world.
A bigger part of our population is now at working-age and low inflation has helped
increase their purchasing power. Our hardworking OFWs abroad and BPO workers at
home have also contributed substantially to our GDP growth.
These have presented many opportunities for our company to participate in the strong
economic development of the Philippines. It is in this environment where we pursue
relentlessly our mission to nourish and delight everyone, everyday, everywhere.
Today, over 100 million Filipino consumers support our products and our brands, so
much so that they buy over 10 of our tin cans per year. To them, I give many, many
thanks.

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Century Pacific Food, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprise
the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2016, 2015 and 2014, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Group as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and of its financial performance, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016,
2015 and 2014, in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs).
We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippines Standards on Auditing (PSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants in the Philippines (Code of Ethics),
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Philippines, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
