MerNel’s Food Corporation Joins the 25th Bañamos Civic Parade
Celebrating Heritage, Culture, Community, and the Los Baños Spirit
Los Baños, Laguna — September 17, 2026. With pride in its roots and love for the community it has grown with, MerNel’s Food Corporation joined the vibrant 25th Bañamos Civic Parade, celebrating the 411th Founding Anniversary of Los Baños.
The colorful parade brought together different sectors of the community—from government offices and schools to businesses, organizations, civic groups, and residents—creating a meaningful celebration of the town’s rich history, culture, heritage, and traditions.
For MerNel’s, being part of the celebration was more than simply joining a parade. It was an opportunity to celebrate being part of the Los Baños community and to proudly represent the local business sector as a member of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry – Los Baños (PCCI Los Baños).
Proudly Local. Proudly Part of the Community.
As a homegrown business, MerNel’s Food Corporation recognizes that its journey is deeply connected to the community it serves. Through the years, the company has grown alongside Los Baños and continues to believe in the importance of giving back, participating, and supporting activities that bring people together.
Joining the Bañamos Civic Parade reflects MerNel’s commitment to being an active and responsible member of the local business community—one that values not only business growth but also culture, community engagement, and shared local pride.
The parade, held from Olivarez Plaza to General Paciano Rizal Park, showcased the creativity and enthusiasm of the people of Los Baños. Colorful presentations, marching bands, drum and lyre groups, community organizations, government agencies, schools, entrepreneurs, and businesses filled the streets with energy and celebration.
Celebrating Heritage, Supporting the Future
The 25th Bañamos Festival, with the theme “Honoring Heritage, Sustaining Traditions, Rekindling the Los Baños Spirit,” serves as a reminder that the identity of Los Baños is shaped by the people who continue to honor its past while helping build its future.
For MerNel’s, supporting community celebrations like Bañamos is part of being a business with malasakit—a genuine concern for the community, its people, and its shared future.
As a proud member of PCCI Los Baños, MerNel’s Food Corporation stands with fellow businesses and community stakeholders in supporting initiatives that strengthen local enterprise, tourism, culture, community cooperation, and economic development.
The company is grateful to be part of a celebration that brings the people of Los Baños together—not only to remember where the community came from, but also to celebrate where it is going.
From our MerNel’s family to the people of Los Baños:
Happy 25th Bañamos Festival and 411th Founding Anniversary!
Proudly MerNel’s. Proudly Los Bañense. Proud Member of PCCI Los Baños.
Celebrating our heritage. Supporting our community. Growing together.
