INSIDE THE TUGATOG CEMETERY, LOCATED in the city of Malabon in

Metro Manila, stands a unique piece of artwork. A statue of the devil himself
can be seen standing on top of a tomb with St. Michael crushing under his
feet.

The man buried in the tomb is Don Simeon Bernardo. According to

historical accounts, Bernardo was a very religious man. He wanted the statue
built as a reminder to all of society of the evil and darkness constantly
engulfing the world.

Pancit Malabon is a mouth-watering specialty food that can only be

found, where else, but in Malabon City. This City is found on the northern part
of Metro Manila but the time it would take you to travel there and taste this
delicious food is worth the trip.

Pancit Malabon consists of fat, white noodles that are mixed with
achuete oil to give its distinctive color of orange. The noodles are made from
rice and deliberately heated to achiever a certain thickness. When the noodles
are ready, it is then mixed with the other ingredients that give this food its
distinctive taste such as shrimps, squids, hardboiled eggs, chopped vegetables
and the local “chicharon”. Depending on the cook, salt and/or pepper may be
added to add to its flavor.

Many sellers claim to offer original Pancit Malabon but only very few
manage to offer the unique taste of this pancit.
