The rich flavors of Filipino cuisine took center stage as the Filipino Food Month celebration officially opened on April 24, at Museo ning Angeles and Plaza Angel in Angeles City. The festive launch of the Kulitan Flea Market and Food Bazaar gathered food advocates, local artisans, and tourism stakeholders for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting led by the Department of Tourism – Region III.

The event is part of Food Talks 2025: Global. Gastronomy. Goodwill, an initiative held at Holy Angel University that brings together culinary experts and industry leaders for insightful dialogues on food and culture.

A crowd favorite was the taste test session , featuring freshly cooked lumpia and the legendary Aling Lucing’s sisig , much to the delight of guests and content creators alike.
