Ginebra San Miguel brand history
In June 1834, Casa Róxas (the partnership that was the ultimate precursor of now Ayala Corporation) established the Destileria de Ayala y Cía (Ayala & Co's Distillery), the first distillery in the Philippines. It produced a variety of drinks including anis, anisette, cognac, rum, whisky and gin (Ginebra Ayala, Ginebra San Miguel, Ginebra Nacional, Ginebra Extra, Ginebra Doble Extra, among others). The distillery was located in Quiapo, Manila and was a major business of the partnership that was renamed to Ayala y Compañía (legal name before being converted into a corporation) when it was acquired by La Tondeña on June 21, 1924.[1]
Calendar girls
The annual tradition of releasing calendars featuring female celebrities started in 1988 which they named the Ginebra San Miguel Super Angels. This was inspired by the US TV series Charlie’s Angels. These calendars are used as promotional material which are widely displayed in barbershops, sari-sari stores, mini-groceries and other venues frequented by liquor consumers.[1]
