For many people in Manila and throughout the country, Titay's is synonymous with rosquillos. These round, rose-like cookies with holes in the center look more like a baby teether today and seem to be the only product from this famous bakery founded in 1907. […] The rosquillos come in the usual light color or in brown, and there is one type labeled "extra special" (whaterver that means).
Cebu is famous for its otap – a crisp, flaky and saccharine-coated biscuit perfected only by Shamrock. The perfection comes only from its original recipe since pre-War Cebu, traditional baking techniques and exacting quality which make Shamrock the most reputed and sought-after otap brand by loyal customers from here and around the world. Shamrock has also expanded its take-home delicacies to include hojaldres, galletas de huevo, baked polvoron, lady’s finger, patatas, rosquillos and other baked specialties such as raisin bread, potato bread, pan de sal and meatroll.
Among pastry lovers - they be children or adults - a mere mention of the name “Lilo-an” could send flashes of the great-tasting “rosquillos” to the mind, with as much the same effect that hearing the word “rosquillos” one is fondly reminded of the beautiful and scenic town of Lilo-an, the resolution said. […] Jordan said the festival, named after the town’s famous cookies “rosquillos,” helped Liloan become popular among foreign and local visitors. […] The cookies remained unnamed until the late Cebu governor and Philippine president Sergio Osmeña named it “Rosquillos” in reference to the Spanish word “rosca,” a round, doughnut-shaped cake or cookie.
