This is a true-to-life story of a reputable family enterprise that emerged from humble beginnings about four decades ago; a simple home industry that has grown through the years into a multi-million peso corporation which is nationally known today as Pampanga's Best, Incorporated. Attribute this success to the ingenuity, hard work, patience and a lot of sacrifices of a woman and her supportive husband, coupled with her abiding faith that works, to an Almighty and Eternal Loving God. When Mrs. Lolita O. Hizon, the woman, was asked by a newspaperman in an interview on "what she thinks is the secret behind her success", she said, "I believe it is more of a divine plan; in other words, providential. All these years, I see as a visible hand guiding us always for a purpose. I would say it is Divine Providence-that is the secret".

Ever optimistic and persevering, the couple, inspite all the loss and sufferings brought about the unfortunate calamities of the past decades, without fret and complaint saw beyond them an opportunity. With Mrs. Hizon's ring as collateral, they borrowed P3,000.00 from a local savings bank to put an extension of their kitchen at Dolores Homesite to be used as a place for a new kind of pork processing, which Mrs. Hizon had discovered and experimented on, to improved "tapa processing", making an edge over other competitors. She devised a formula of her own, which involved the right kind of mixture, temperature and timing. With about five kilos of meat for a start, she sold her finished products at first, to butchers of the San Fernando Public Market who in turn disposed it to their customers. Thus, the sweet-ham tasting product caught the market and order for it continued coming in. Mrs. Hizon devised a packaging system with the name "Pampanga's Best" vividly printed on the label with the word "TOCINO" which she herself derived from the Spanish word, meaning "sweet tasting meat". The product "TOCINO" became a by word in every Filipino household which other meat processing firms have adopted for their products.

Today, Pampanga's Best, Inc., which started with a small borrowed capital, with Mrs. Hizon's Industriousness, intelligence, intuition and business acumen, is now a multi-million family enterprise, with around 1000 employees whose stockholder consist of the couple and their twelve children. Whose vision is to have a world class image dedicated to serve the Filipino with innovative products and services by adapting the best technology, quality, customer service and value, with passion towards service quality and customer empowerment making "Pampanga's Best, Inc." truly the "BEST"
