It was Ms. Sonia Ushirogochi, official adjudicator of Guinness World Records Japan K.K, who announced the city’s feat on Friday. She also regarded Pancit Malabon as a “classic and important dish of Malabon City”.
“Ngunit hindi dito nagtatapos ang hamon— kinakailangan ding tiyakin at idokumento ang maayos na distribusyon ng 6,000 mangkok ng Pancit Malabon para sa aktwal na pagkonsumo ng tao, alinsunod sa patakaran ng Guinness World Records,” the local government unit added.
(But the challenge does not end here— we need to ensure that we document and properly distribute the 6,000 bowls of Pancit Malabon for actual consumption, in line with the rules of Guinness World Records.)
