Lety's Buko Pie - Main Store

Lety’s Buko Pie (at iba pa) is a single proprietorship owned and operated by Mrs. Leticia O. Belarmino. The enterprise started in 1976, as a “hobby” of Mrs. Belarmino, with an initial capital of 200 pesos (taken from the meager savings of the family). As of the year 2004, its assets directly used in the business amounted to more than 2.0 million pesos.

For almost 20 years (1976 to around 1996), no serious effort was made to really spur up the development and expansion of the business. The enterprise was solely considered as an ordinary household undertaking meant to augment the family income. But as it were, improvements and innovations were continuously made on the product by its owner (Mrs. Belarmino).
