Gastrodiplomacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost one year ago, Vice Consul Mark Ponce of the Philippine embassy in Beirut came bringing me Lebanese wine, chocolates and roasted coffee. Like a true diplomat he started our conversation with pleasantries over a cup of coffee (of course) at a café serving only Philippine coffee in Makati called Commune. He broached the idea of taking Philippine coffee to Beirut. Like a true marketer, he did not leave without bringing some bags of Philippine coffee back to his place of work. Then came his co
Bukidnon, land of plenty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1998, I was so new in the coffee industry and did not know where to start connecting with farmers. I was only exposed to Silang, Cavite then, so I joined the Coffee Foundation of the Philippines on their trips with the agency most concerned about coffee, Dept. of Trade and Industry-International Coffee Organization Certifying Agency or DTI-ICOCA.

After many years of holding coffee summits, watching farmers improve quality and encouraging younger farmers to take up the spade and hoe, we in the coffee industry now will focu
Iloilo, a foodie’s heaven (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As soon as you land at the Iloilo International Airport, waste no time and head to an institution – Tatoy’s Manokan and Seafoods. It is the season for diwal or angel wings, a shellfish native to Western Visayas waters. It is also only in Iloilo (and Negros) that I get to taste managat, or mangrove snapper. Though now farmed, it is a high value marine fish that has a milky, sweet and moist texture – you might skip bangus (milkfish) after tasting this. At another table in Tatoy’s I saw tanigue (Sp
