DOT VI joins Baye-Baye Festival launching
The Department of Tourism Region VI supports the launching of the first ever Baye-Baye Festival in Barangay Cabugao Sur, Santa Barbara Iloilo on March 23, 2019.
The barangay is known for their legacy as the top Baye-Baye makers for over 50 years now. The Baye-Baye festival focuses on showcasing the new flavors of the delicacy and attracting more tourists to try other local products.
The highlight of the festival is the two-day eat all you can Baye-Baye which offers different flavors for the guests and locals to try. Barangay Cabugao Sur Council headed by Mrs. Marisol J. Lacorte initiated the festival by gathering all famous Baye-Baye makers and promoting their native delicacies.
Baye-Baye is a native delicacy made from pinipig mixed with coconut and sugar. It is sold in numerous stalls lining the highway of Santa Barbara. Locals in Cabugao Sur claim that their Baye-Baye is one of a kind because of the unique flavors they add to the ordinary Baye-Baye.
“Department of Tourism Region VI encourages the community to strengthen its local products since Cabugao Sur and the neighboring barangays have a big potential to become a one stop food destination,” DOT VI Regional Director Atty. Helen J. Catalbas said.
