From Kamote to Something Extraordinary
From the humble kamote, something extraordinary is born: Molido, a Lavezares tradition passed down through generations.
Travel guides, cultural features, and local stories from the heart of Northern Samar.
Long before convenience and abundance, there were days when putting food on the table was survival. Deep in the forests of Toog, Lavezares grows Kurot, a wild root crop that became a lifeline during times of scarcity.
Wrapped in hagikhik leaves and filled with freshwater shrimp (pukot), freshly grated coconut, oregano, and local herbs and spices, Kinagang is more than just a delicacy—it is a taste of tradition.
What begins as a humble pili nut becomes one of Lavezares' most treasured delicacies—Mazapan de Pili, lovingly handcrafted by local makers like Ma'am Imelda in Barangay Urdaneta.
In Barangay Libertad, Ate Janet keeps the rich culinary heritage of Hinagom alive—a traditional Filipino delicacy shaped by patience, hard work, and hand-roasted grains.
Lalaguna Mangroves Eco Park welcomed international expedition cruise ship Coral Geographer for its second visit to Northern Samar, bringing 80 passengers and 9 crew members to experience local delicacies, cultural presentations, and panoramic views from Kaluy-ahan Hill.
Lavezares made history with a back-to-back Mutya san Ibabao championship, crowned by Meg Di (2023) and Gwyneth Nicole Lauron (2024).
