Adobo Festival
Added: November 04, 2008
       

Adobo is not just a cuisine, a menu or a formula, it identifies a Filipino. Anywhere in the world, where there is a Filipino, there is adobo. As all agree: Adobo is "Tatak Pinoy."

WNU was made a venue of last year's celebration "Adobo Festival 2007". Spearheaded by the Negros Cultural Foundation, it was a showcase of the excellent taste of Negrenses. It brought adobo to food prominence as the ultimate main course in a Filipino meal.

The occasion was witnessed by some Tourisim officials headed by no less than Ms. Gemma Cruz Araneta, and leading Bacolod restaurateurs and connoisseurs.

This year's Adobo Festival Celebration will take off with a Song and Dance Contest in WNU campus on November 4, 2008. The Festival theme song and dance, as initiated by WNU will make a distinctive mark on creativity fostering local talents.

It will be culminated by the Adobo Cooking Contest in Balay Negrense in Silay City on November 5, 2008. There will be seminars and lectures about the adobo culinary experience. The Adobo Festival is one tourist attraction, one would never miss.

The Foundation had recognized the University as a reliable partner for the propagation of Filipino values and tradition, with WNU closely working with the Negros Cultural Foundation for these activities. The group that will spearhead the activities in WNU campus is the BSHM Department under the College of Business and Management.

In addition to exposures in Events Management and Culinary Arts, the cooking contest and seminars are bonuses for BSHM students.
