The Gaisano Family (Tagalog pronunciation: [ɡaɪˈsano]) is a Chinese Filipino family prominent in the Philippine Retail Industry particularly in Visayas and Mindanao.
The family's retail business began during the 1970s, Doña Modesta Singson-Gaisano with husband, Don Jose Sy Gaisano established a shop-restaurant located at the ground floor in a rented house in Colon, Cebu. The establishment later became known as White Gold Super Store.
After her death in 1982, White Gold was managed by her eldest son, David,[1] while her other children (Stephen Sr., Henry Sr., Victor and John Sr.) established their respective retail businesses.[1]
