Pride is protest

Imagining Magellan drunk on coconut wine

Published April 16, 2021, 1:03 PM Through high seas, starvation, scurvy, a mutiny, and death, Magellan arrives on the islands of the Philippines and what welcomes him? Feasts ON THE COVER This week’s Panorama mirrors the cover design of the new, exciting book ‘Pigafetta’s Philippine Picnic’ by Felice Prudente Sta. Maria, with thanks to book designer Relly Coquia. Panorama cover design by Jules Vivas I have yet to get a hold of Felice Prudente Sta. Maria’s new book, “Pigafetta’s Philippine Picnic,” published by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) as our contribution to the global commemoration of the Quincentennial of the First Circumnavigation, 1519-1522, but I got to talk to her and, already, as hers did while researching for the book, my imagination is at work.

Beyond sisig, batchoy, and bulalo

LUZON REPRESENT Filipino-style beef bone marrow soup, Bulalo Because it is National Food Month, we should all try to venture out of familiar recipes and menus and try to know more about our country’s rich and diverse culinary heritage. Sisig, undoubtedly the country’s most popular pulutan, is fiercely protected by citizens and officials of Angeles City, where it was introduced in a barbecue stand by the railroad tracks in the 1970s. The local government even wants to legislate its recipe and specify allowable ingredients. But some Ilocanos dismiss sisig as nothing more than a chopped version of their very own dish dinakdakan. Both use pig’s head and liver, boiled then grilled. Both are seasoned with vinegar, onions, garlic, and chili. The only difference is dinakdakan uses bite-size pieces while sisig’s meat is all chopped. Dinakdakan has been around for many generations while sisig appeared only after Martial Law was declared.
