(Screenshot from Monde Nissin Zoom meeting) MANILA - Filipino food manufacturer Monde Nissin Corporation has kept its business afloat despite increasing prices of raw materials brought by developments outside the country. In a media briefing, Monde Nissin chief financial officer Jesse Teo said supply bottlenecks and rapid increase in input costs cut the company's profit in the first quarter of the year. "Input costs have increased well over 20 percent for the key region. For the key raw materials that we have from oil and meat, for every 10 percent increase of that, it's a 1.5 percent margin hit to our business," Teo said. T
