'We intend to build on this momentum by further expanding our store network and driving operational efficiencies in the coming months,' he added.
RRHI's portfolio includes the brands 'Handyman Do it Best,' 'True Value,' 'Toys 'R' Us,' 'Uncle John's,' 'Daiso Japan,' 'Pet Lovers Centre,' 'No Brand,' and domestic brands 'Savers Appliances,' 'South Star Drug,' 'The Generics Pharmacy,' and 'Super50.'
It ended the first half with 2,471 stores, including 763 food stores, 1,145 drugstores, 51 department stores, 228 DIY stores, and 284 specialty stores. It also has 2,116 franchised stores of The Generics Pharmacy.
Shares in RRHI closed Tuesday at P39.00 apiece, down P0.60 or 1.52% from Monday's finish of P39.60 per share. —VBL, GMA Integrated News

DMW files plunder raps vs ex-OWWA chief Arnell Ignacio, 8 others over land deal
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Tuesday filed plunder and graft charges against former Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) administrator Arnell Ignacio and eight others over the controversial P1.4-billion land acquisition deal. Filed before the Office of the Ombudsman, the complaint also accused Ignacio, his two former deputies at OWWA, and six individuals who belong to the seller group of malversation of public funds. The DMW said the complaint stemmed from the purchase of a 1.5-hectare property near Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 in September 2024, on which a halfway house for returning overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) would be constructed. However, the DMW said that the property's close proximity to the airport runway made it unsuitable for development. The DMW added that OWWA's board of directors was not consulted and did not authorize the contract to sell, the deed of sale, and the supplemental agreement in connection with the purchase of the property. Vouchers and checks were also signed prior to the deed of sale, DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said. Ignacio, who was removed from his post, denied in May that the land sale was anomalous and that he profited from it. —VBL, GMA Integrated News
