The Savor Filipino / Filipino Food Movement is a marketing ploy created by Ramar Foods to deflect criticism of the company’s unauthorized use of Philippine brands such as Magnolia ice cream. It is part of the #OMGpeke scandal involving the American company Ramar Foods, which pirated San Miguel’s brand Magnolia — including the widely recognized logo — to use on ice cream manufactured by Ramar in Northern California with no licensing from San Miguel.
