Why it is called Pancit Molo?
Pancit Molo got its name from the place it originated – the District of Molo. Pancit Molo is one of the more identifiable pancit dishes in the country. It stands out uniquely among the noodle dishes – you won’t find any noodle shaped ingredients that is traditionally associated with the word “Pancit”.
