LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – The first-ever Mukbang ed Dayat for officials and employees of the provincial government and the public is slated on September 22 at the Capitol beachfront here.
Dubbed as Grand Boodle Picnic Fest for a cause, it is one of the highlights of the 123rd celebration of the Civil Service Month.
The event is spearheaded by the provincial government led by Gov. Ramon V. Guico III through the Health and Wellness Club (HWC) led by president Sonia G. Yao.
Mukbang first emerged in Korea in the late 2000 and has become a new food culture around the world.
The Grand Boodle Picnic Fest will not just be an eating challenge but also an activity in which proceeds will be used primarily for the conduct of various outreach activities in Pangasinan.
The activity will also serve as a venue in which local or homegrown products in Pangasinan will be served. These food products include fried bangus, tinapa, longganisa, camote tops, and steamed eggplant and okra with bagoong.
