Precious Pages Corporation began operations in 1992 under the helm of two young business entrepreneurs, Segundo D. Matias, Jr. and Richard Reynante. The company's very first venture was the publication of Tagalog romance pocketbooks that were then gaining popularity among the Filipino romantics, especially the women. Jun and Richard, two creative think tanks from advertising, film and television, knew very well the Pinoy taste in entertainment and as such, decided to pool their resources and came up with Precious Hearts Romances.

Starting with one issue every month, Precious Hearts Romances became an instant hit that the company started churning out thirty-five titles a month. Today, the book imprint is recognized as the best-selling Tagalog romance pocketbook.

With peaking sales and an ever-increasing clientele, the company acquired a complete set of printing machines. And with this came the decision to diversify into other products, particularly children's books, song/music magazine-cum-chord books and romance magazine.
