Fita was introduced by M.Y. San as part of its expanding cracker lineup during the growth of the Philippine packaged biscuit market in the second half of the 20th century. While M.Y. San became best known for SkyFlakes, Fita established its own identity by offering a richer, slightly buttery cracker with a distinctive round shape.

Over the decades, Fita has become a familiar household snack in the Philippines. Television commercials, especially those from the late 1990s and early 2000s, helped strengthen its brand recognition, making it one of the country’s classic cracker brands. [1]
