In 1935, P&G expanded its international presence with the acquisition of Philippine Manufacturing Company (PMC), making P&G Philippines, the company's first operational unit in the Far East and the second-oldest P&G subsidiary outside North America.[4][5]
As part of expansion in 1964, Procter & Gamble merged with its Philippine counterpart to form the new company, Procter & Gamble PMC and adopted the Moon and Stars logo until 1989.[4]
In 1989, Procter & Gamble PMC was renamed as Procter & Gamble Philippines. Originally displayed as its original plant in Tondo, Manila, and continues to be displayed in Cabuyao, Laguna.[4]
