SAVOR THE FLAVOR!

Pastel de Camiguín, or simply pastel, is a Filipino soft bun with yema filling originating from the province of Camiguin. The name is derived from Spanish pastel. Pastel is an heirloom recipe originally conceived by members of the Agrepina Dagondon Gultiano family of Camiguin. It is primarily produced by the family's special occasions and gatherings.

In addition to the original yema filling, pastel also feature other fillings, including ube, mocha, macapuno, cheese, chocolate, durian, jackfruit, and mango, among others. Pastel is regarded as a pasalubong (regional specialty gifts) of Camiguin Island and nearby Cagayan de Oro City.

The Province of Camiguin is known to many as the home of the sweetest Lanzones in the Philippines. As a way to honor the bounty harvest of the Lanzones fruit, Lanzones Festival is celebrated annually every third week of October with a pack of activities. Locals and tourist from different places gather together to witness the most awaited vibrant event of the province. The local government has been touting locally-grown lanzones as the sweetest of its kind in the country. Provincial Agriculturist Renero Torion explained that the Camiguin-grown lanzones tastes sweeter due to the island's volcanic soil.

Camiguin is indeed one of the magnificent destinations here in the Philippines.

But did you know why it is dubbed “Island Born of Fire”?

It is because the disaster that the volcanic eruption has caused shaped the province into the beautiful and majestic destination it is today.

But before becoming one of the best destinations in the country, Camiguin has a dark and tragic past for its locals and its ancestors.

The 1951 eruption of Mt. Hibok-hibok is regarded as the most violent eruption in history, with 2000 lives lost and millions of pesos worth of property and buildings destroyed. Many were discovered sleeping, while others were coated in volcanic ash and preserved or mummified. Some died by asphyxiation when oxygen was consumed by the billow of gas and carried high in the air, leaving the victims with no air to breathe.

The island’s population fell to around 34,000 after the devastating eruption, down from 69,000 before the eruption. Many people fled the island in fear of additional eruptions and relocated elsewhere. The PHIVOLCS station was then constructed atop Mt. Hibok-Hibok to monitor its activity. Life on the island gradually returned to normal. Camiguin’s population has grown, and the provincial administration is currently working to enhance the island’s resources for tourism purposes.

The video below shows the news coverage provided by British Pathé at the time of the tragedy.

Camiguin Province is not only home to stunning islands, volcanoes, and waterfalls, but it is also rich in cultural heritage dating all the way back to the Spanish colonial era.

Camiguin is the second-smallest province in the Philippines in both population and land area. Its name is derived from the indigenous term “Kamagong,” which refers to an ebony tree species that grows near Lake Mainit. Camiguin’s first settlers were “Manobos” who moved from Surigao del Norte, and the community thrived and prospered until the 1871 eruption of Mt. Vulcan destroyed it (FamilySearch Wiki, 2021).

In 1901, American forces landed in Camiguin to take over the governmental authority of the island. But a troop of Camiguingnons armed with bolos and spears commanded by Valero Camaro battled for the island’s freedom from foreign invasion. Valero Camaro became an unsung Camiguin patriot during the early independence battle.

And in 1942, the Japanese Imperial Army arrived on the island and established a government in Mambajao; During the Battle of Camiguin near the end of World War II, Philippine Commonwealth forces arrived in Camiguin and freed the island from Japanese Imperial forces (Camiguin Island Philippines History, 2020).

The country obtained independence from the United States of America on July 4, 1946, and became the Republic of the Philippines. Camiguin was then a Province of Misamis Oriental from 1946 until 1958. And in 1958, it became a sub-province, but later became a full-fledged province of Mambajao as its provincial capital in 1968 (About Camiguin Province, Philippines, 2022).
