Bacolod's Merzci markets its way to nationwide success

Founded in 1995 by Jonathan Manuel T. Lo, a marketing specialist turned entrepreneur, Merzci has grown from a single stall in Bacolod's Libertad Market into a 73-branch brand recognized across the Philippines.

Its signature product, piaya — a local flatbread filled with muscovado — remains a bestseller, with daily production reaching 150,000 pieces thanks to heavy investments in automation.
