Orientex is the brand name of a product line manufactured by Ramar Foods, the unethical company that has been pirating food trademarks from the Philippines, including Magnolia ice cream and Pampanga's Best.
We are boycotting all products manufactured by Ramar Foods because our dollars deserve to go to more ethically sound Filipino American companies.
To reiterate: Do not buy Orientex Frozen Lumpia or any other product that carries the Orientex mark.
Be informed consumers. Be smart consumers. Read the label.
If it's manufactured by Ramar Foods, move on and pick something else.

Ramar Foods is a company based in Northern California.
It keeps suing San Miguel for using the Magnolia logo, which was created and developed for decades by San Miguel.
Let that sink in...
San Miguel created the Magnolia brand in 1925, developing it into one of the most iconic brands of the Philippines.
Ramar Foods (Quesada Family) started using the same Magnolia mark on its California ice cream in the 1970s.
In the 1990s, Ramar Foods registers the name and logo... and protests San Miguel wanting to use it.
Under current United States law, Ramar Foods "beat" San Miguel to registering the name and logo that San Miguel had created.
To this day, many Filipino Americans assume that there is a licensing or distribution agreement between Ramar Foods and San Miguel. There has never been any. In fact, Ramar keeps taking San Miguel to court for using the Magnolia brand on other products, such as butter, margarine and cheese.

What Are Fil-Ams?
Fil-Am or FilAm is short for Filipino-American. A slang word used by some is Flip. Most Filipino-Americans have a fondness for the words Pinoy and Pinay, meaning Filipino and Filipina, respectively.
Fil-Americans are the second largest subgroup among Asian-Americans. Filipinos began emigrating in significant numbers to the United States in 1898 after the Spanish-American War.
There are now about four million Filipino Americans in the United States, approximately 1.5% of the country's population. They speak a wide array of Philippine languages — Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilokano, Kapampangan, etc.
Filipino immigrants can be divided into four groups:
1. Filipino pensionados, who were given scholarships by the American government in the early 1900s to come to the United States for training. These students agreed to return to the Philippines to improve education in the islands.
2. Filipinos who immigrated to the United States seeking to improve their economic status.
3. Filipinos who entered the country as U.S. citizens by way of marriage or as dependents of U.S. citizens.
4. Filipino professionals, such as physicians, nurses, social workers and clergy, who believed they could find more career opportunities in the United States.
Currently, it is very common to see Filipino doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers in hospitals and other health institutions across the United States. Many immigrants or their descendants hold jobs in government or private industry or operate their own businesses.
