Bottled sardines from Calbayog

Yes, you read it right. A local cooperative has begun producing bottled sardines that is proudly Calbayog-made. This product is called "Biatungan Spicy Sardines". Biatungan Multi-Purpose Cooperative is one of the successful coops in Calbayog. The bottled sardines is their latest venture which is made possible through a tie-up with some agencies among which is the Ramon Lentejas Memorial School of Fisheries.


The "Tamban" fish is sourced locally. The bottle is from Cebu (yes, it's not recycled from empty bottles of other products) and what makes the production cost kinda on the high side is the use of pure corn oil.


Biatungan MPC is located in Tinambacan Poblacion and can be reached at phone number (+63 55) 209-73-82 / 209-72-53.
