During the annual Malaga, Guraman and Tirem Festival held at El Presidente Beach Resort Complex in Buguey, Cagayan on July 27, 2026, over two tons of grilled Malaga fish were consumed by villagers and guests. The event, part of celebrations for patron saints St. Anne and St. Joachim, included grilled oysters and various recipes for Malaga dishes. Mayor Licerio Antiporda III noted that approximately 45,000 kilos of Malaga were available for grilling, though only a sample was used. The festival serves both cultural and economic purposes, aiming to boost local livelihoods through tourism and seafood sales. Additional activities included contests for cooking noodles using local ingredients and the distribution of resources like electric carts and a new hatchery facility to support fishing communities.
