Reyes became known as Mama Sita and the company was named after her. Reyes had an interest in Filipino food and created a business devoted to creating recipes and selling sauce mixes, vinegars and sauces. Reyes and her company became well known in the Philippines and amongst Filipinos living abroad. In 2013, a 10 peso postage stamp was issued in Reyes' memory by the Philippine government.[1][2][3]
