While looking at my cigarette wrapper collection I noticed
that I have several wrappers that were made in Malabon. Although I do not live
there anymore, Malabon has a special place in my heart.
Malabon is home to 2 large tobacco factories: the La Princesa
or Fabrica ng Princesa and the Insular-Yebana Tobacco Company.
During the colonial times the biggest cigarette complex was
the La Princesa Tabacalera which was
located in Barrio Hulo, Malabon. The
compound was so big that it was able to accommodate as many as 10,000 workers.
The Insular-Yebana Tobacco Company was located in Barangay
Tugatog. It was a leading native cigarette maker during its peak. Some of its popular cigarette brands were
"Aliwan," "La Isabela," "Quiapo," and "La
Yebana." The company have a tobacco processing plant in
Ilocos and Isabela.
