Bicol-wide, to showcase their skills and creativity in creating the ultimate
Pan de Bicol recipe.
“We are thrilled to launch the 'First Pan de Bicol' Bread
Contest as part of our celebration of the 100th year of the Penafrancia
Festival,” said Naida Ebora, URC Flour’s Sales, Marketing and Distribution. “We
believe that this contest will not only showcase the talent and creativity of
our local bakers but also highlight the versatility and deliciousness of the
finished product which is Pan de Bicol. Not only that, our support goes beyond
the baking contest because the idea is to make the winning Pan de Bicol an
official delicacy of the whole province of Bicol. Penafrancia’s 100th year
festival will also be the birth of the region’s first ever Pan de Bicol. We
encourage all baking enthusiasts to participate and share their unique
creations” added Ebora.
The Penafrancia Festival, a grand religious and cultural
event honoring the patron saint of Camarines Sur, has been a beloved tradition
for centuries. The "First Pan de Bicol" Bread Contest aims to
celebrate this iconic Filipino delicacy and highlight the versatility and
quality of URC flour. URC’s sponsorship will involve various activities and
initiatives aimed at enriching the experience of both devotees and visitors.
“We are very thankful for URC Flour’s support in this year’s
Penafrancia Festival celebration. In behalf of the city of Naga, I am extending
my GRATEFUL APPRECIATION to Univeral Robina Corporation Flour Division for
partering with us, specifically giving an opportunity for our Bicol bakers to
showcase their creativity and talent in making the first ever Pan de Bicol" said
Naga Mayor Nelson Legacion.
