The Liberty Milk plant was a subsidiary of General Milk which, at that time, operated 18 processing plants and 10 can factories in 12 countries.  The plant was also the first in the Far East.

<p>
Liberty milk was a blend of imported skim milk emulsified with locally produced coconut oil instead of butterfat.  It was extra rich in milk  solids fortified with vitamins A and D.  The powdered skim milk was imported from the United States which was considered surplus US agricultural products under the US public law 480.

<p>
Locally produced Liberty milk was selling at from 25 to 28 centavos a can as compared to the 30 to 40 centavos a can of imported evaporated milk.

Darigold, a milk processing plant of another company, Consolidated Philippines, Inc, was also inaugurated shortly after.
