Fidel Go traced their burnay-making to 1922 when his father established it after he married his mother who was a native of Vigan. From a family of businessman, his father arrived from China, and was a known producer of jars in the ancient time.
In the 1970s, he inherited the business from his father with a meager amount to start with. With strong determination, he was able to stabilize their business which is popularly known in Vigan City as the Rubby’s Pottery. From their business income, he was able to buy vehicles to deliver their wares and pay wages to sustain a number of workers, enough to produce jars based on the market demands.
