Food fest at Lucban’s Pahiyas
Without a doubt, the Pahiyas festival is a grand visual treat for locals and visitors alike. But for me, it is also an unforgettable gustatory experience. Let me enumerate a few examples: Longganisa – I don’t have to elaborate how much I love Lucban longanisa. I know I...
