"I
make it a point to expand every year to cope with growing demands. That is on
top of continually improving the quality and service to my customers and
dealers," Santos shared.
Mr Freeze has numerous manufacturing plants strategically located nationwide, servicing homes and businesses and giving livelihood opportunities to families with their daily production capacity of several tons of tube ice per day.
Continuing
a Legacy of Helping Community
“My goal is not only to earn money, but also to bring livelihood to tricycle drivers to kasambahays who want to increase their income by becoming distributors,” he explained.
Gerald “Gerry” J Santos is the Philippines’ “Ice King” for a reason: he is not only the master of his trade, an empire he grew from his father's business, and business partner to celebrities; he is also, and more importantly, an entrepreneur with a heart of gold.
By setting up the largest and most commercially viable ice plants in key locations, he is able to tap into the city or town's locals to provide them with income-earning opportunities by helping distribute and market ice to their own communities.

Reaping Accolades for Exemplary Business Acumen
“Imagine,
in 2012, we were already producing 400 tons of ice every day and we've grown
exponentially because we changed how the industry works and gave people a
chance to be part of us. Our growth and success are truly inclusive. You cannot
lose with ice," revealed said Santos, a regular honoree at
the prestigious Asia Leaders Awards.

recognition for his dexterous balancing of profitable entrepreneurial management
and edifying corporate social responsibility.
