VILLAR PUSHES FOR PAMPANGA TO BE NAMED CULINARY CAPITAL

Senator Mark Villar has urged his colleagues to pass a bill declaring Pampanga the “Culinary Capital of the Philippines.” He highlighted the province’s rich culinary heritage, home to iconic dishes like sisig, kare-kare, and tocino. Villar emphasized that the bill would not diminish other regions’ contributions to Filipino cuisine but would instead spotlight Pampanga’s exceptional food culture. The bill aims to promote the province as a culinary tourism destination.
