As
a Filipino, most of us loves to eat and also we are known to have some
authentic foods. Filipinos also loves eating grilled foods not only because it
is easy to prepare but it is also palatable. Broiled, grilled, barbecued: for
Filipinos these are called inihaw and to be particular the Visiyans called it “Sinugba”.
Sinugba is a process of preparing by cooking the foods to a direct exposure to
radiant heat (as over a fire or under a grill).
The municipality of Midsayap being surrounded by other Municipality of Cotabato and Maguindanao, it serves as a major commercial and trading center of the province where farmers from neighboring municipalities bring their agricultural products to be sold/traded. Grilled foods are more fun in Midsayap because they are annually celebrating the “Sinugba Festival”. This festival is a major event celebrated in this town just like the Halad festival.

several stages where theses different bands are performing. These stages are distributed
along the long rows of grills. So what are you waiting for? Come and visit the
