National Sardines Day Celebration in Metro Manila
On the official National Sardines Day, MPFI

tradition of town carnivals, the event created a festive “Peryahan sa Bayan” vibe that delighted attendees, much like a
traveling carnival that brings joy and entertainment from one town to another.
The fiesta-themed celebration featured fun
and interactive booths that engaged visitors of all ages. Attendees experience
games, win prizes, and discover new ways to enjoy Mega Sardines products
through a hands-on experience. The event also included a unique DIY bar, where
participants could mix and match various ready-to-eat ingredients with Mega
Sardines products to create their own flavorful combinations, showcasing the
versatility of this Filipino staple.
Esteemed guests from MPFI Marvin Tiu Lim, brand ambassador Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, popular food
