In the Philippines, every province has a story, and that story is about a bread. It starts from a crusty, carabao-shaped Pinagong of Quezon. To the melt-in-your-mouth Pastel of Cagayan de Oro. Our regional bread culture is a delicious map of Filipino identity. It is comforting to smell a neighborhood panaderia. It reminds me of childhood merienda memories and the bakers who fuel our communities.
To recognize this rich heritage, a high-energy festival caravan called Sugod Bakery. It is officially hitting the road partnering with the local government units. This movement celebrates our local bread treasures. While giving the neighborhood bakers the "secret ingredient". Also, the business training they need to thrive in the modern world.
