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.”
