DIMAS-ALANG 1919

When officers of Hicaps Marketing Corporation approached us regarding THE HICAPS NOTEBOOK, our immediate reaction was: “Wow, talagang taga Hicaps kayo? ang gagaling ninyo ah! “. This also carried the thanks Panaderia Dimas Alang 1919 wanted to convey, given our many years of successful alliance with Hicaps in breadmaking.

We have always found Hicaps products of high quality, consistent, and innovative. At the same time, the service is prompt and reliable, including the collection procedure. 

Our store in Pasig has existed for nearly a century and is naturally located in the heart of the old town that has now become a city. The bakery was an offshoot of an older bakery named Dos Hermanos (beginnings forgotten), owned by the Raymundo family.

Dimas Alang’s Interesting Origin

When the matriarch Teresa Raymundo took over in 1919, she renamed it Panaderia Dimasalang after the pen name adopted by Jose Rizal in Europe meaning “touch- me- not” or his famous “Noli Me Tangere.’’

A widow with four small children, she nurtured the store through perseverance and austerity. From her artistic family came pianists and painters, and she also gave the Philippines the legendary concert violinist Carmencita Lozada. 

One of the oldest bakeries in the Philippines and indeed the oldest of all business establishments in Pasig City, it is a single store that has been located since the beginning.

It upholds the tradition that made Pasig known for bread. In a blind tasting among several bakeries in the Metro Manila area and environs, FOOD Magazine recently named our pandesal the first prize winner. In our other products, we hope that we receive similar acceptance.

Old-type breads are retained in our product line, including locally known Kamachile, Pan de Niyog, Pan de Barra, Aglipay, Popo, Biscocho de Cana, Bonete, Galletas, and the biscuit with the intriguing and locally traditional names of Hindi Ko Akalain (a truly original and best seller).

In keeping with the times, our efforts are also in developing new lines. These include Brazo de Mercedes, Egg Pie, and Cakes. The line also features Turones de Dimasalang. It uses local fruits of many kinds, whether seasonal or perennial.
