Panagaramid ti Tinubong: Lecture and Demonstration

In celebration of the Museums and Galleries Month, the National Museum of the Philippines – Ilocos Region shall conduct a free onsite half-day activity on “Panagaramid ti Tinubong: Lecture and Demonstration” on 10 October 2022 (Monday) from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 nn at Ilocos Regional Museum Complex, Vigan City.

Tinubong, a coconut milk-laced rice cake in bamboo tube, is a traditional kakanin in the province of Ilocos Sur that is similar to the tupig of Ilocos Norte, and Pangasinan. It is made of sticky rice and grated coconut, and is “intubong” (placed) in a bamboo/bolo before it is cooked over a pugon (kiln) or charcoal.

This activity aims to promote the heritage and tradition in Ilocos on tinubong making as a viable strategy for women empowerment and participation in development. It primarily aims to strengthen our gender mainstreaming efforts consistent with the mandate of the NMP Gender and Development Focal Point System on gender equality, women empowerment, and continuous support to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Felicitas “Nana Ising” Ceria Unciano shall serve as our resource person. Try-outs on tinubong making by the participants shall also be conducted.

LIMTED SLOTS ONLY!
