Lolita Hizon
The story goes that Mrs. Lolita O. Hizon neighbor, a meat vendor, had
some unsold pork at the end of a market day and, not wanting to let these
spoil, asked Mrs. Hizon’s help in cooking them. Mrs. Hizon came up with a
formula to cure the meat; she revised the traditional
Capampangan pindang (fermented pork), causing the pork to acquire the
unique salty – sweet taste that we have all come to love. She called it
“Tocino”, derived from a Spanish delicacy that is sweet. Eventually, she
refined the formula and the processing procedures that caused the birth
of Pampanga’s Best Tocino – The Original version of what has now become
a national favorite. So, what started out as just a neighborly gesture to help a
friend has turned out to be the cornerstone of a business and a staple item in
the Filipino breakfast table.
When Mrs. Lolita O. Hizon, is asked what she thinks is the secret behind her
success she says, It’s love and compassion; and I believe it is more of a divine
plan. All these years, I see a visible hand guiding us always for a purpose. I
would say it is Divine Providence – that is the secret.
True to it’s motto – Always the best from Pampanga’s BEST – the company
puts prominence on the importance of high quality throughout it’s more than
40 years in the business, creating customer value, satisfaction, and loyalty.
Also, it acquired the AAA Category, the highest level for a manufacturing
plant, from the National Meat Inspection Service.
Cecilio Pedro
In the late 1970s, Mr. Cecilio K. Pedro’s Aluminum Containers, Inc., was
the major supplier of aluminum collapsible toothpaste tubes to colgate-
Palmolive and the Philippine Refining Company. However, in 1985, these
companies began using plastic laminated tubes. Mr. Pedro had to close his
factory but soon realized his old equipment could still be put to good use.
He reopened his factory as Lamoiyan Corporation, now known as the
manufacturer of toothpaste brands Hapee and Kutitap.
Mr. Pedro succeeded in making Hapee the No. 3 toothpaste brand in the
country, the first Filipino to ever penetrate the toothpaste market
dominated by multinational companies. He has since diversified his
product line to include Dazz dishwashing paste and liquids, Tenderly fabric
enhancer, Fash detergent, and Gumtech, a special gum-formula toothpaste.
Mr. Pedro has chosen to use his entrepreneurial skills to help provide
opportunities to others. A staunch advocate of the hearing-impaired, he
helps proved free college education to at least 200 hearing-impaired
students through the Deaf Evangelistic Alliance Foundation, Inc. (DEAF),
which he currently chairs. He also employs 30 hearing-impaired staff in his
company, and helps provide them with free housing. To narrow the
communication gap between his hearing-impaired and hearing personnel,
he has also required his managers to learn sign language.
Mr. Pedro hopes to establish Lamoiyan in neighboring countries such as
China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, and later on to become the preferred brand
in Asia.
Among the awards he has received are the Outstanding Filipino Retailer by
the Philippine Retailers Association in 2001, the TOYM for Business
Leadership in 1991, and the Agora Award for Outstanding Achievement in
Entrepreneurship in 1991.

You have to have a dream, whether big or small. Then plan, focus, work hard and be very
determined to achieve your goals. There is no substitute for hard work.
