Plaridel St., Paknaan, Mandaue City

Every first Saturday of February, Barangay Paknaan celebrates their Silhig Festival to promote their broom-making industry. Looking back, Barangay Paknaan used to have plenty of Buri Trees that residents used to make brooms, thus, paved the way to the rise of the broom-making industry in the barangay. At that point, broom- making became one of the main sources of livelihood of most families in the barangay.

Lucia’s Native Products started producing their own silhig in 2011 in Paknaan. They started by only producing silhig lanot.

The Silhig Festival has helped broom-makers and producers by drawing more customers to the barangay. Now, Lucia’s Native Products produces several variants of brooms and other household items which they display at their store in Plaridel Street, Paknaan, Mandaue City. They have also been supplying to different companies, schools, resellers, and marketplaces.

Join us as we honor the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our fellow Mandauehanons through Tatak Mandaue.

Mrs. Teresita and Mr. Pablo Sacil stood by the saying, “If you want something, go work hard for it”.

Strained by the need to financially support their growing family, in 1991, the couple behind Mandaue’s famous Tess Lechon started their business with a capital of only 5000 pesos. They started by selling piglets beside St. Joseph Shrine and at the same time, used wood cart to sell from one household to another.

As the demand for roasted pigs increased, they opted to sell pigs instead of piglets and also ventured into selling lechon or roasted pigs.

From a wood cart business, Tess Lechon grew and was able to put up four branches located in Mandaue, Consolacion, and two branches in Lapu-lapu. Tess Lechon remains a small family-owned and operated business built by hardwork and an aspiration to uplift their family’s life.

Tess Lechon continues to look for ways to better improve their products and services to satisfy their customers.
