Bayawan is so rich in heritage food because it is a blend of Occidental and Oriental influences, and the food here is truly delicious. Bayawan also has vast farming areas, unlike many other parts of Negros Oriental, which makes it an ideal place to promote local food traditions. We also plan to integrate writing, arts, and culinary activities into this advocacy, which will soon include competitions in Bayawan and Dumaguete City," said Bea M. Crisostomo.

Certificates of appreciation were then awarded to the guest speakers, formally concluding the university's 2026 Nutrition Month Symposium.
