In the Philippines, it is always advised to bring clothes for hot weather. Bring light clothes. It’s al-ways safe to have those handy white shirts around. Like in any foreign country, be careful of pickpock-ets. Always bring that handy insect-repellant. When shopping, always haggle. Mingle with the locals. They always give the best tips. Be adventurous!

Pack light. Bring only essentials like sunscreen, medicine, at least two swimsuits, extra plastic bags, a pair of slippers, one formal clothing (just in case), toiletries, camera and extra money. Plan your outfits

prior to leaving to avoid packing too much or too little. Write down all you intend to do to be more organized.

Keep your cash hidden in different places just in case you lose something. Make sure you leave some room in your luggage for souvenirs or other purchases.

Research about the place before traveling. It's best to be informed about weather conditions, local customs, hangouts, etc.

Publisher’s Note


Island Pride


It was a Saturday morning and we marched inside the Binondo Church for the start of this unique tour. I’ve heard about it but honestly just the premise was enough to make me daydream of authentic Chinese food presented with a hefty serving of culture, history and

even more Chinese food. Basically, you take three and a half (or so) hours during a Saturday and spend it walking through the streets of Binondo. Sounds fair enough? What if I told you at the end of the tour, every square centimeter of your gut would be satisfyingly filled with

authentic and fusion Chinese cuisine. Yes, now I know I’ve got your attention.

The Big BinondoFood Wok:

A taste of culture, history and of course, food


Our man, Mr. Ivan Man Dy, led us through the streets. We start off in the Church for a history lesson. No food yet. We started to walk towards our first destination. Gentlemen, start your engines!

We begin with a visit to a quiet café, and the first dish of the day was a light broth and some rice. The story and the significance of the Café and of the owners resonate with each sip of the broth and each spoonful of peanut-laden rice. Don’t be fooled by the prospect of second servings – as tempting as it sounds, refuse. You will not be deprived of the gastronomical fulfillment you are aiming for, trust me.

We transfer to another spot, which is my personal favorite, where we gorge down on more food. This time, it’s a hole-in-the-wall stall that I would’ve passed by every single time even if I lived there. You’d have to take a do-over look at the window display. And then, like one of those slow-motion dramatic sequences, you know you have found Shangri-la. There were these two ladies working on their tables and you can see them rolling out some dough and stuffing it with what I later found out is a recipe for Northern-China variation of dim sum. Yes, siomai at its best! Freshly made, freshly cooked with the freshest ingredients possible – this is quality. Everyone in attendance during that tour probably ate half their weight in dim sum, I know I did.

We toddled along and I sensed a burden forming in my step. It was a sudden stop when we ended up gathered in front of another small stall (standing room only) and got hold of steaming hut buns – Fried siopao. It was a

new sensation to have that soft bun, succulent filling and crispy crust from the frying. You want more? From the same stall we also took a whiff of freshly made bicho-bicho. None of that stuff that’s practically bread. We are talking a flash-fried strip of dough that was tossed with a little bit of sugar. It was light, airy and oh so good. I look around and sight some quitters – putting the buns into their bags! But the battle isn’t over. No, not by a long shot.

Walking inside into our first taste of air conditioning was a welcome treat but the hopia we gorged at this tiny grocery store was the highlight of another standing-stopover. I know I have eaten this dozens of times before but somehow I just had to re-experience it all over again. And just when I thought I could not have eaten anymore, we walked to our final destination of the tour. A charming little lumpia house tucked away from the busy streets. Long story short, carnivores were new converts to vegetables. And as I swallowed the last bite and washed it all down with a cold glass of water I knew I would not be able to eat any more until dawn the next day. “Satisfying,” is an understatement.

In between the stops and in between the bites, I unearthed what the history, culture and community of Binondo is. Enlightening is the word I use. No longer shall I look to Binondo as merely the place to go buy Chinese medicine or the freshest fruits for your New Year dining room display. Every step I took brought me into an understanding and appreciation of this city and of this country. All of that while I was eating my way through Binondo.

Driving Tips for The rainy season:

• Never drive beyond the limits of visibility. At night rainy roads become especially treacherous. The glare of oncoming lights, amplified by the rain on your windscreen, can cause temporary loss of visibility while substantially increasing driver fatigue. In rainy conditions pedestrians, livestock, and wildlife are extremely hard to spot and even harder to avoid.

• Never drive through moving water if you can't see the ground through it; your car could be swept off the road.

• When driving through a puddle of uncertain depth, go slow. If it's deeper than the bottom of your doors, turn around and find another route. Deep water can cause serious damage to a modern car's electrical system.

• Avoid splashing pedestrians.

• If possible, stay off the road during heavy thunderstorms. Large flashes of lightning can temporarily blind and disorient drivers, and the accompanying high winds and heavy rain can create deadly driving conditions.

• First and foremost: slow down! It takes longer to stop or adjust in wet weather.

• Stay toward the middle lanes - water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

• Don't follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.

• Be more alert when driving in wet or slippery conditions. Watch out for brake lights in front of you.

• Avoid using your brakes; if possible, take your foot off the accelerator to slow down.

• Turn your headlights on even in a light rain, overcast conditions. Not only do they help you see the road, but they'll help other drivers see you.

• Before it starts to rain, replace old or brittle wipers.

• Avoid off-road driving: it's hard to judge the actual depth of puddles and you can easily become stuck, even in an SUV.

1. Be sure to have your vehicle check before the trip.

2. Check Tire condition of vehicle.

cup of coffeeA story in a

I found myself at Le Bistro Vert at 7 in the morning. The pleasant sunlight enveloped me as I read the day’s paper while sipping a freshly brewed cup of Barako. Ordinarily, this would be a great way to start any day, but on this day that morning cup of coffee served as a prelude of what was to come.

I was invited by Chit Juan (of the Philippine Coffee Board and Echostore fame) to take part in a Coffee Farm Tour she prepared for the press. On her invitation, I brought a camera crew to cover the day’s events for Astig TV. Now, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Chit before, and anybody can tell you, she is one energetic and fired up lady when it comes to her advocacies. Today was no different.

As we made our way to Cavite, Chit gave us a quick Coffee Industry 101. While that topic alone is rich enough for an article of its own, I can summarize it in one sentence: There are not enough coffee farms to supply this country with its demand for coffee, but the PCB is doing its best to educate farmers and peddle Philippine Coffee so that one day, the industry will catch up. A daunting task, to be sure, but one that Chit and the rest of the PCB is tackling head on.

Our first stop was Chit’s very own EchoFarms. While not directly connected to her Coffee Advocacy, the concept of sustainable farming is something she is likewise trying to preach and practice. As members of the press helped

A story in a cup of coffee



Special Feature

themselves to some fresh vegetables (The arugula and romaine lettuce were to die for), Chit explained that the concept of sustainable farms is something that the PCB is slowly adapting to their sponsored coffee farms as well.

After that brief stop, we traveled on to the Cavite State University, the home of coffee

research in the country. Over some bibingka and more barako, Mr. Alejandro Mojica gave us an in-depth look of the state of coffee in this country. If Chit gave us an appetizer early on, Mr. Mojica’s talk was the main course.

Afterwards, we were invited to go to the Cavite State University’s coffee farm and look around for ourselves. At this point, I’m asking myself, if coffee is such a high-demand commodity, why aren’t people rushing to plant coffee trees and get in on the action?

“It’s not that simple,” Chit relates. “The fact is, coffee trees take time to yield crops, between 3 to 5 years. Farmers think that the wait is not worth it, that’s why most of them stay awayfrom coffee and instead plant vegetables.”

“That’s what we’re up against,” Chit continues. “That is why the Philippine Coffee Board is going out of its way to educate farmers on the importance and value of the coffee crop, buy their yields at a premium to encourage them, and drum up support for the coffee industry in general.”

From Cavite State U, we then visited a coffee mill owned by Nicolas Matti, co-chairman of the Philippine Coffee Board. After that, we dropped by Gourmet’s to watch how these beans are prepared for mass consumption.

As my crew taped story after story during the entire trip, I spent the whole time thinking how to get in on all of this. It’s obvious that we’re crazy over coffee. Why else would coffee shops pop up all over the place? Why else would instant coffee sell well into the millions? And yet, we’re given a picture of an industry that, without the proper measures in place, would die out just like that. All the press people and the bloggers that attended would write and post about this plight, and Astig TV would go on to air their PCB episodes on the Green channel. I guess that’s a good start, but there’s so much more to do.
