To mark Bulacan’s Singkaban Festival, SM malls in Baliwag, Marilao, and Pulilan gave shoppers a colorful glimpse of the province’s
rich culture and heritage as the malls unveiled Bulacan BESTival, a celebration of food, music, and arts encapsulated through a series of events mounted in each mall.
Delighting the audience, Chef Santiago demonstrated the unique process of preparing the famous Hamon Bulakenya, and Pinaso. The event became more meaningful with the musical performance by a group of local artists, Daloy Kolektibo. Beautiful art interaction among Bulakenyo visual artists was witnessed by art lovers, enthusiasts, and visitors during the ReGeneration Travelling Art Exhibit in SM City Marilao.
More than the artistic training it imparted among the students, the workshop is positioned to introduce Bulacan’s pagpupuni as a resurrected art that needs to be rediscovered, more importantly, by the younger generation.
