01:50UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy is a title that UNESCO gives to cities
01:55that show deep respect and importance to their food as part of their culture and history.
02:01It's all about promoting Iloilo and showcasing how rich the culture of Iloilo at the same time,
02:06how creative Ilongos are.
02:08And while promoting Dinagyang, we also promote other aspects of Iloilo.
02:12Other cities that are on the list are Burgos in Spain, Parma in Italy, Macau and Thailand.
02:20Because of this recognition, the local government of Iloilo is now aiming to make their Ilongo cuisine richer.
02:27We will use this opportunity because not every city is given this recognition.

03:06was using the leftover meat and intestines from their meat shop.
