BALUT SA PUTI FESTIVAL 2019

After a decline in its balut industry following years of urbanization, Pateros is seeking to revive its old title as the Philippines' "balut sa puti" capital.



Balut, a fertilized duck embryo boiled as a delicacy, is one of the most prominent exotic food the Philippines is known for.
