Palagsing
The palagsing is a sweet merienda delicacy with some similarities to the suman and budbod. It is also wrapped using leaves, which gives it an appearance similar to these two much-loved snack items. It also goes well with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. But, the palagsing has a deeper flavor compared to the suman and budbod. It is also sweeter compared to these delicacies.

The process of making the palagsing is rather meticulous and arduous. It starts with the extraction of starch from the saksak palm. The palagsing is not only available in Ginatilan since it is also offered in the neighboring town of Samboan. The delicacy is also one of the offerings of the Timber City of the South, Butuan.
