It's amazing how this Philippine product compete with all the other dry goods in North America!  They were able to adjust the packaging according to their market demographics. As you can see, they have a FRENCH translation in their packaging. It's because a lot of people here in Canada speak FRENCH. In fact, if not most - all of their packaging are translated in French!
