Bayambang, Municipality in Pangasinan, Philippines
Bayambang is a municipality in Pangasinan province positioned between Malasiqui, Camiling, Bautista, and Urbiztondo. The territory is organized into 77 barangays and serves as a gateway to Tarlac Province, with a healthcare facility providing services to the local population.
The municipality was founded in 1614 and later played an important political role during the Philippines' independence movement in the late 1800s. It briefly served as an administrative center during that period of change.
The Malangsi Fishtival takes place every April and celebrates fish-based dishes that reflect local food traditions and community pride. The festival draws both residents and visitors who come to taste regional preparations and see how fishing remains central to daily life.
Getting around the municipality is easiest by motorized transport such as vehicles or motorbikes, as the barangays are connected by roads. Local markets and eateries are concentrated in central areas where visitors can find food and supplies.
In 2014 the municipality set a Guinness World Record by constructing an exceptionally long continuous barbecue grill as a community project. This unusual achievement reflects local ingenuity and how residents work together on memorable initiatives.
