Lastly, Did you Know That....
Oishi, the popular snack brand found all over China, Vietnam, India, and more — is 100% Filipino-owned! It was started by Liwayway Marketing Corporation in Manila in the 1970s.
Though many think it’s a foreign brand, Oishi is a Pinoy success story in global snack food. Its name, which means “delicious” in Japanese, helped it go international — but its roots are proudly Filipino.
