Our Story

Our Story

From a Filipino Idea to a Growing Global Presence

Founded in 2002, Miguelitos began with a simple vision: to create high-quality food products while opening opportunities for Filipino entrepreneurs. What started with food premixes and soft serve ice cream soon grew into a manufacturing and franchising business, built through years of innovation, hard work, and a commitment to quality.

Over the years, Miguelitos expanded beyond ice cream into a diverse range of food solutions—from beverages and Filipino delicacies to bakery products, seasonings, and other specialty mixes. Alongside manufacturing, the company grew its franchise network across the Philippines and built long-standing relationships with restaurants, food businesses, supermarkets, and other industry partners.

Today, Miguelitos continues to grow beyond the Philippines, bringing its products and business concepts to international markets. As we expand, our purpose remains the same: to create quality food solutions, support the businesses we serve, and bring a familiar taste of home to Filipinos around the world.

Leadership

Our Founders

Built on Sipag, Tiyaga, at Sakripisyo

Michelle Aman, President of Miguelitos International Corporation
Marlon Aman, Chief Executive Officer of Miguelitos International Corporation

Since entering the industry in 2002, our journey has been guided by three values we have always held close to our hearts: Sipag, Tiyaga, at Sakripisyo — hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice.

These values have shaped how we built Miguelitos and how we continue to run the company today. From the beginning, we have remained committed to quality, while continuously developing food products and solutions that respond to the changing needs of our customers, partners, and the communities we serve.

As Miguelitos has grown beyond the Philippines, our purpose has grown with it. Through our products, we hope to bring a familiar taste of home to Filipinos around the world, while also introducing Filipino flavors and food concepts to new markets.

As we look toward the future, we remain grounded in the same values that started our journey—working hard, persevering through challenges, and making the sacrifices necessary to build a company that can be carried forward for generations.
