Note to Filipino Americans:
Despite bearing the exact same logo, the “Magnolia” ice cream and meat products you see being sold in the United States is NOT affiliated with the original Magnolia that Filipinos grew up with in the Philippines. It is made by a Northern California company that pirated the brand name and logo from the Philippines.
Please don’t support the theft of intellectual property from developing countries like the Philippines. Boycott products and activities of Ramar Foods!
