Don Papa

Don Papa Rum or the The Don, was inspired by the story of one of the unsung heroes of the Philippine revolution: Dionisio Magbuelas, better known locally as "Papa" Isio. Initially a foreman at a sugar plantation, Papa Isio -- healer, shaman, seer, rebel, and  leader of a group of babaylanes -- played a key role during the late 19th-century Philippine Revolution. Papa Isio's spirit and leadership played a critical part in freeing Negros from Spanish rule, ultimately leading to independence for his  beloved country. Don  Papa  Rum embodies Papa Isio's spirit of independence, irreverence and sense of justice.
