Another good reason to celebrate the most memorable anniversary is the Innovation Entrepreneur award that was given by the prestigious professional services firm Ernst and Young to Engr. Gregorio G. Sanchez, Jr., Founding Chairman of Lacto Bacillus Pafi Techno Resources Corporation "for creating a new products, and applying an innovative technology business solution or approach that resulted in improving business processes or growing the company" last March 8, 2006 at the Shangrila Hotel in Makati City.
"All of these blessings are from the Lord, and I sincerely thank Him. All of these things happened because of divine guidance. This is God-given probiotics products," inventor of LBPTRC's probiotics products Engr. Sanchez said, adding that he is deeply honored by the award, being a 100 percent Filipino owned corporation and only 5 years old.
"I always want to glorify God through serving the people. My mission is carried out through the Pagpalambo Foudation Inc. (PAFI). The foundation would conduct free seminars and trainings for the people who are most willing to learn more about entrepreneurship," Engr. Sanchez said.
Engr. Sanchez recounted that he had a pig dispersal program where he gave out piglets to a hundred families in need of livelihood. But, the program failed because the recipients could not afford to buy medicine, food and vitamins needed.
Today, LBPTRC has grown in both business and patronage in the local and international markets. In fact, its products have reached Norway, France, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, and the USA.
A comparative study of the antiseptic effect and wound healing property of (LactoPAFI) Lacto Bacillus Solution against providone iodine - standard antiseptic was done by Dr. Joel Primo S. Alvez, Dr. Celia M. Mabalatan, Dr. Roque Anthony Paradela, Dr. Christopher Samson, and Dr. Ferdinand Y. Tomakin of VSMMC. They concluded that LACTOPAFI Lacto Bacillus Solution can be safely used as an antiseptic solution in wound care and wound dressing.
Because of Lacto Pafi's tremendous success where its impressive reputation spread by word of mouth and through inspiring testimonies broadcast over local radio, Engr. Sanchez has developed new products with the lactobacillus component such as lacto soap, pafilac toothpaste, pafilac antiseptic mouthwash, pafilac feminine wash, lacto eye drops, pafilac facial care, and other personal care products.
With Lacto Pafi products that are now available in every home worldwide, healthy living becomes the way of life. Truly, this corporation that is primarily engaged in the manufacture of BFAD registered lactobacillus health drinks, Lacto Pafi and Lactovitale and other probiotic pharmaceutical supplements, brings health into one's home.
