Pakalog is how the Tagalogs call the dish of mudfish (dalag) stewed in a mix of ingredients which has become the Santoleños favorite fare among the sumptuous array of food including the iconic lechon shared boodle-style after an exhilarating parade of street dancers in colorful costumes, spectacular pyrotechnics show and thunderous music from different brass bands.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pakalog Festival this year, and in observance of the protocols brought about by the pandemic, the Executive Council of Barangay Santolan had decided to forego with the traditional street festivities and opted to sponsor a national painting competition in celebration of their dream of instilling "the spirit of camaraderie and the values of unity and cooperation among the Santoleños of Pasig and the Filipino people".
