Malabon City Mayor Lenlen Oreta headlined the Pancit Malabon Festival held Tuesday to showcase the city’s iconic culinary treat.
“This festival is part of our city’s rich culture,” Oreta said during the festival.
“This is a happy occasion because we can show the unity and togetherness of the Malabonian Family. It is important for us to stay united so our city can continue to improve,” added Oreta.
The highlight of the event is the giant Pancit Malabon, measuring 15 feet in diameter and overloaded with toppings and treats for the town to share.
Mayor Oreta and Councilor Enzo Oreta, with other city officials, also participated in the boodle fight prepared for the 500 Malabonians who attended the festival.
At the same event, 11 retired teachers from Concepcion Elementary School were recognized for their service to the community.
Previously called Luglugan, the Pancit Malabon Festival is celebrated annually and marks the end of the celebration of the feast of the Immaculate Concepcion.
