When we were kids, Dad and Mom would take us with them to Cebu to visit Rustan’s. My only memory then was Rustan’s and the Siao Family. Mr. and Mrs. Siao was like our family in Cebu and we loved and still love them 🙂
Together with the rest of their family! Tita Dorothy, Tita Elizabeth, Sandra, Erwin, Tita Margaret and Tita Ellen. They are one of the kindest and most loving family that we know! Our family is blessed to know them all
And this is now their entire family taken during the 50th anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Siao
It was Mrs. Rosario Siao who started the dried mangoes business with one of her friends hence the name R & M. R for Rosario 🙂 They were the very first ones in the industry and they invented the product till everyone else followed. They sold domestically and also for export. Till this day, R & M is the superior brand for Dried Mangoes!
And they have many other products which developed through the years
Here are some photos from the factory. Thank you Erwin for sharing this with Heart2Heart! Erwin, the only son, is the one running the day to day operations of the business
Thank you Erwin and Frances for sending us these delicious Chocolate dipped dried mangoes!!! SUPER YUMMY!!!
And oh my gosh!! WHITE CHOCOLATE my favorite!! SUPER SUPER YUMMY!
Erwin told me that they are still working on the packaging for this product. So it is not yet carried in Metro Manila stores but anyone who would love to have it can visit their Guadalupe office there to purchase them. Address is : R & M Preserves Showroom and outlet 441-1 B. V. Rama Ave. Guadalupe, Cebu City
Tel. Nos. 254- 5777 / 254- 5767 to call and reserve ahead. Look for Tata or Jovie.
