It is an economic phenomenon transforming society in all levels and hierarchies through food retail and consumption. In this presentation, I will share stories, pictures, graphs and experiences of branded food retailing in slums of <em>Payatas, Dakota<\/em> (Malate), and <em>Tatalon<\/em>. The purpose is to answer the question of how the CPF arrives to the slum household. First, I show the map of involved actors that (voluntarily and involuntarily) serve as channels of corporations. Second, I give importance on the \u2018boundary\u2019 of slum and non-slum. To live in slums is itself a trigger for multiple CPF meanings and for practices of micro-retail and consumption. Third, I distinguish market and non-market mechanisms (gifts) that introduce packaged food into a slum household. Fourth, <em>Sari-Sari<\/em> stores receive a particular attention based on their multiple relevancies for slum families. The information presented here form part of initial chapters of my book project \u2018<em>Packaged Food, Packaged Life: causes and consequences of eating processed food in Manila\u2019s slums<\/em>,\u2019 which discusses more issues about packaged food consumption and its impacts on key aspects of life: health, environment, culture, social relations, economy and politics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Speaker<\/strong>:<br \/>\nHeriberto Ruiz Tafoya received his Doctoral Degree in <em>Economics<\/em> from the Graduate School of Economics, Kyoto University in 2019.
