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. Hizons 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 Pampangas 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, Its
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.
