History of PDCI
January 31, 2018
PDCI is a story of a struggle for a better life. It is a manifestation of a people’s aspiration to manage their resources and be masters of their fate and destiny. Looking back, Pecuaria started in 1952 as the Union Agricula y Pecuaria del Sur de Luzon. It was a hacienda type of operation owned and managed by Don Severo A. Tuazon and Co. and Mrs. Teresa Tuazon de Gonzales Lao and Co. Inc. It was named “Pecuaria” meaning an animal farm by Mrs. Tuazon.
