Why Cory Quirino loves San Marino

MANILA, Philippines - Cory Quirino has become the latest celebrity to be enamored with San Marino Corned Tuna, a healthy, yet delicious food product introduced by highly-reputable food company Foodsphere, Inc.

Cory is vocal about the importance of good diet in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “You have to manage your body, mind and spirit properly to experience wellness. You must have a sound lifestyle, positive attitude, good diet, exercise, enough sleep and excellent stress management skill,” she says.

A granddaughter of the late President Elpidio Quirino, she is a TV host, motivational speaker, book author and columnist who provides beauty, health and fitness tips. She is also an entrepreneur and an anti-crime champion who believes in the holistic personality development of every individual.

Even before being picked as the new endorser of San Marino Hearty Line, Cory is already a tuna eater. She says it is in her breakfast with omelet, lunch with vegetable salad and snacks with multi-grain crackers. “I love fish and vegetables for what they do to my health,” she adds.

The first time she tasted San Marino Corned Tuna, she knew the product is different from the rest. “Kakaiba. The texture is fine, and taste is good. It’s not so oily, and it is low in fat. It is rich in Omega 3 of course. San Marino is perfect for my lifestyle,” she says.

 “Cory Quirino epitomizes the true profile of San Marino consumers. She is a healthy person in every way,” says Jonathan Bendicion, the assistant vice president for marketing of Foodsphere Inc., makers of San Marino Hearty Line.

 Now, Cory is seen advocating for healthy lifestyle, with San Marino Hearty Line, the latest canned fish offering from Foodsphere, which includes San Marino Corned Tuna, San Marino Tuna Paella, San Marino Blue Mackerel Steak (in Tomato Sauce and Spanish Style), San Marino Tuna Fillet (in Water and Spanish Style) and San Marino Tuna Spread.

“These are conveniently-packed fish products that promote active and healthy lifestyle,” says Bendicion adding that the new products will complement the famous and highly-successful San Marino Corned Tuna launched last year by the food company.

“As a delicious innovation, San Marino Corned Tuna has won the taste buds of the Filipino consumers. Corned Tuna is a new format of tuna that is shredded and can easily absorbs flavors and seasonings.

San Marino Corned Tuna has less oil than the usual tuna flakes in oil. It has lots of tuna and it is deliciously seasoned.

It is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which are good for the heart. Studies have found that food rich in Omega 3 such as tuna help reduce triglycerides.

These are the same reasons why Cory decided to go for San Marino. She says her advocacy is to teach others how to live well.

“You must love your heart and love your health. Eat healthy. Exercise. Sleep enough. Celebrate Life,” she says.
