The Rosquillos Festival showcases the delicious pastry referred to
as rosquillos. Rosquillos is a favorite snack in Liloan.
It is a cookie with a hole in the middle, similar to a donut.The
festival allows the municipality to promote its famous recipe
to tourists while also helping the local economy.
The town of Liloan has always been associated with one
of Cebu’s primary delicacies – the Rosquillos. The festival traces
the product’s history – from its humble beginnings in 1907,
until it was named “rosquillos” (after the Spanish word, rosca)
by Pres. Sergio Osmeña to what it is today.
From placing nowhere in the top 12 in previous years, Liloan’s Rosquillos Festival
was suddenly the star of the night at the Pasigarbo Sa Sugbo Festival of Festivals
at the CICC yesterday. The performance earned for Liloan the grand prize
in the ritual showdown.It featured a Broadway-inspired number that promoted the
rosquillos, invented in Liloan 105 years ago, as a delicacy soon to be marketed
“from Cebu to the world.”
Today it remains the site of Liloan's main festival,
the Rosquillos Festival, which is celebrated every year in late May
that helped Liloan become popular among foreign and local visitors
and gained the prestige of being known for its select delicacies
both domestically and internationally
