Balik-Tanaw | The dissident love of Jesus
The readings for Palm Sunday begin with narrating the triumphant entry of Jesus and His disciples to Jerusalem. According to the story, Passover and the Feast of the Unleavened Bread is coming in two days’ time and a lot of Jews will go up to Jerusalem to celebrate the feast. As observant Jews, Jesus and his disciples came to Jerusalem in observance of the feast that will take place (John 12: 12-16; Mark 14:1-15). When they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus instructed his two disciples to go to a village where they will find an ass and to bring it to him. Jesus rode on the ass when he entered Jerusalem. The people accompanied him and they held palm branches while crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our Father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!’ (Mark 11:1-10). The post Balik-Tanaw | The dissident love of Jesus appeared first on Bulatlat......»»

Abalos to LGUs: ‘Eradicate malnutrition’
Committing to his advocacy against malnutrition, Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos on Friday urged local government units to prioritize maternal, neonatal, and child health nutrition programs in their localities. The call was made in support of the implementation of Republic Act No. 11148 or the "Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act". “The right to health is a fundamental principle guaranteed by the State, and malnutrition continues to threaten this right disrupting the very future of our own children. Kaya naman napaka-importante na magsagawa ng mga hakbang ang mga LGUs para pangalagaan ang kalusugan ng mag-ina – mula sa sinapupunan hanggang sa unang 1,000 araw ng paglaki ng bata,” Abalos said. He said LGUs play a key role in the whole-of-government approach to combat malnutrition among adolescent females, pregnant and lactating women, infants, and young children and the reduction of maternal mortality and stunting in children. “I feel so strongly about this as I have advocated the same since my time as a local chief executive in Mandaluyong City. The movement against malnutrition and the welfare of pregnant and lactating women can start for all LGUs, too. Kumilos tayo laban sa malnutrisyon ng mga buntis, sanggol at mga bata,” he said. During his term as Mandaluyong City mayor, the Nutrition Honor Award, which was the highest accolade conferred by the National Nutrition Council to an LGU, was conferred to the city for three consecutive years. He was cited for his Millenium Baby Project which provided care for women and their babies and the creation of the Breast Feeding Patrol, a group of breast-feeding mothers who can be pulled during emergencies to breast-feed hungry babies. Through the DILG Memorandum Circular 2023-149 dated 12 October 2023, the DILG Secretary directed LGUs to integrate programs on nutrition for adolescent females, pregnant and lactating women, infants, and young children in their investment plans for health, prioritizing those who are nutritionally at risk. Some primary services required by the program include pregnancy tracking and regular counseling for pregnant women, breastfeeding plans and resources for postpartum and lactating women, newborn screening and vaccination for newborn babies, and nutrition counseling for children up to two years of age. Apart from LGUs, Abalos said the whole-of-government approach and delivery of services and interventions must include the participation of national government agencies, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders. He also said the law shall be implemented through rural health units and barangay health centers, in coordination with the Sangguniang Barangay, Barangay Nutrition Scholars, and Barangay Health Workers, to include health and nutrition intervention services at different life stages.

Filipino fiesta fare Chef Reggie’s way
Of the many good things they love about this country, foreign tourists always mention our food as the top three or five of their list, next only to our warm people and our white-sand beaches. Whether these are food sold on the streets, made at home in the simplest to the most sophisticated kitchens, all the way to gourmet offerings of Michelin-cited establishments, they occupy a special place in our visitors’ hearts and palates. One chef of long-standing fame and outstanding reputation is Reggie Aspiras, whose recipes are compiled in a number of best-selling cookbooks. A dear friend of mine, along with the other Aspiras girls, Aida Cristy and Babot, daughters of the late popular couple, Secretary of Tourism Sunshine Joe and his Marian devotee better-half Amparing, a staunch Cabinet lady of the Marcos years circa 1960-1980s, Reggie has been the subject of my features through the years. Being close to each other, we have collaborated on a number of projects highlighting her many accomplishments in the culinary arts. [caption id="attachment_165873" align="aligncenter" width="2560"] Aspiras sisters - Reggie, Aida and Cristy.[/caption] Recently, Chef Reggie prepared and hosted a special Sunday lunch in the Aspiras La Vista home as her contribution to the first Manila Food and Wine Festival, which was founded by Kate Dychangco - Anzani, a passionate food aficionado and wife of famed Italian chef Marco Anzani. According to Reggie, herself a prolific writer-columnist, the festival was “conceived to bring life to the food industry in Cebu after Covid, and it has been adopted by Manila, Ilocos and Davao.” In partnership with the regional offices of the Department of Tourism, this series of regional events aims to establish the Philippines as the emerging premiere culinary destination in Asia. Hence, the event showcases traditional and regional cuisines, local chefs and restaurateurs. “The festival is meant to highlight our food culture; as well as fuel the fire of innovation to elevate our food culture by establishing the Tatak Pinoy food stamping program,” Reggie shared. The first cook in Metro Manila to showcase her culinary specialties in the festival, she came up with an interesting mix of festive dishes to which she added her personal touch, a garnishing here and an indigenous flavoring there, mostly original Ilocano since the Aspiras family comes from the north in La Union. Reggie explained, “Filipino Done My Way, in Reggie’s Kitchen’ is the first of a series of events specially curated for the MFWF. " “Being a staunch believer in the possibilities of Philippine Cuisine, there was no other food to cook but our own, to which, of course, I added some touches. It was a very personal menu, as the dishes were created for a purpose that stem from my roots, a happy memory, which is to simply share the way I cook Pinoy food and how I like to eat.” Taking after her father Sunshine Joe’s inimitable way of promoting the Philippines, which highlighted Philippine crafts, music and dances, Reggie gave her guests, led by Senator Loren Legarda and television personality Korina Sachez Roxas, along with DoT Undersecretary Verna Buensuceso and DoT Regional Director Jeff Ortega, a sense-surround spectacle featuring dancers who welcomed the guests right from the gate, rondalla music, kiping ornaments hovering over the individual tables, table settings of local handwoven fabrics and fresh tropical flowers. I was honored with a place in the main table, along with Reggie’s sister Aida. All the while, her other sister, Cristy, hopped from table to table to help entertain everyone. [caption id="attachment_165867" align="aligncenter" width="1708"] With fiesta revelers Sen. Loren Legarda and television personality Korina Sanchez Roxas.[/caption] [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="165871,165868"] Let’s hear it from Chef Reggie who gave us her annotation of the delicious dishes she served us. “For appetizers, I had my rendition of Chicharon Bulaklak, large ruffled flower-like fat that are 250 grams each. To cut through the fat, I served the chicharon with seasoned vinegar and an assortment of achara: radish, corn, chilies and papaya. “I also recreated the Kilawing Hipon with a trio of Mangoes. This was one of the dishes I presented during the Food and Wine Festival in Cebu, paying tribute to their famous mangoes. To the kinilaw I added the famous Cebu dried mangoes, some fresh mangoes and a pickled green mango relish to cap the kinilaw that sat on kaykay (cassava chips from Cebu) or fried fish skins. “Being the Ilocana that I am, bagnet had to figure prominently in my spread, and it did -- in the form of Sisig; drizzled with Sriracha Aioli and crowned with Arugula Ensalada. [caption id="attachment_165870" align="aligncenter" width="2008"] Bagnet Sisig and Arugula salad.[/caption] “Salad was Fried Chipirones (Baby Squid) on a mixed bed of Pako Ferns and Chef Reggie’s hydroponically grown Salad Greens Mix. It was served with a vinaigrette made from Bugnay Balsamic Vinegar from Ilocos Norte that I turned to a creamy vinaigrette. [caption id="attachment_165869" align="aligncenter" width="1004"] Salad of Fried Chipirones (baby squid) on a bed of Pako ferns, and Chef Reggie's hydroponically grown salad green mix served with vinaigrette from Bugnay Balsamic Vinegar.[/caption] “Soup was presented in Coconut Shells, where buko juice, chicken, oyster mushrooms and aromatics were left to steam for hours before serving. It was a good way to refresh the palate, before the main course. It made a refreshing start to the meal. “Badjao Lumpia is made of bangus tossed in blue pea-soaked vermicelli. It is presented with sweet garlic vinegar and vegetable confetti “The Seafood Malabon is a spin-off, and my tribute to Aling Nene who, in my opinion, makes the best Pancit Malabon. [caption id="attachment_165875" align="aligncenter" width="641"] Seafood Pancit Malabon, a tribute to Aling Nena.[/caption] “Pistachio Kare-Kare had with Dried Fruit Bagoong was a dish that I put together for a cooking class that was designed to serve dishes that are new and exciting to Filipino diners here and abroad. And so was Salmon Wrapped in Pechay Leaves Served with Smoked Bacon Laing. [caption id="attachment_165874" align="aligncenter" width="641"] Pistachio kare-kare with dried fruit bagoong.[/caption] “There is no hiding my pride in being 100 percent GI, genuine Ilocana, that is. As such, my Kurobuta lechon was served stuffed with Ilocos Garlic, Ilocos Shallots and Karimbuwaya (a succulent endemic to the north with an innate tartness traditionally used to stuff lechon with). It was paired with seasoned Sukang Iloco inspired by the suka at Dawang’s -- the favorite karinderya of President Bongbong (Marcos). The lechon was accompanied by pandan infused puso, as lechon is enjoyed in Cebu. [caption id="attachment_165872" align="aligncenter" width="641"] Kurobuta lechon stuffed with Ilocos garlic, shallots and Karimbaya (succulent traditionally used as lechon filling).[/caption] “Of course our Lechon must be served with Dinuguan. In my kitchen I call it Silky Dinardaraan - stirred for hours until the sauce is thick and glistening…just as mom did hers, La Union style- growing up. It is scooped with Okilas -- huge pig skin chicharons -- a delicacy in the north. “For dessert, a warm cronut base held a freshly churned house-made Coconut Cream Ice Cream served with ube coulis, sweetened beans, jackfruit and bananas. “It was a feast cooked from my heart. One that, happily for me and my family, everyone enjoyed.” The post Filipino fiesta fare Chef Reggie’s way appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

DENR-BMB holds 25th Philippine Eagle Week celebration
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources observed the 25th Philippine Eagle Week from 4 to 10 June through its Biodiversity Management Bureau. The event was an occasion to look back at the successes in conserving the iconic and critically endangered Philippine eagle during a quarter of a century, but, as DENR Assistant Secretary and concurrent BMB Director Marcial Amaro Jr. said, the celebration was also a reminder that there is more work to be done to ensure the survival and viability of the prized raptor often described as “national treasure.” PEW is celebrated every 4-10 June of each year in accordance with Presidential Proclamation No. 79, series of 1999, to educate the public on the importance and conservation of the country’s national bird , which is considered one of the largest and most powerful among forest raptors in the world. The Philippine eagle (scientific name Pithecophaga jefferyi) is continually being threatened by hunting and loss of habitat. "By conserving our national patrimony and strengthening our advocacies, we are able to improve and harmonize conservation efforts to put forward strategies and to curb the direct and indirect threats to Philippine eagle populations through relevant conservation actions concerning habitat restoration, law enforcement, management of captive and wild populations, research and conservation education,” said Amaro. This year’s PEW theme, “Unity in Action: Achieving success together,” was a call to all Filipinos to protect forest habitats to conserve future generations of Philippine eagles and their territories, and allow new generations to thrive and co-exist with other threatened wildlife. “The habitats conserved locally and protected by communities significantly contribute to environmental stability and security of human well-being, in the looming threats of climate change,” Amaro said. The BMB lined up several activities to celebrate PEW from 6 to 9 June at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center in Quezon City. Philippine Eagle Foundation Executive Director Dennis Salvador and Maestro Fernando Sena, the father of Philippine Art Workshops, were among those who kicked off the four-day celebration. One of the highlights of the event was an art exhibit dubbed “Isang Libong Obra Para Sa Agila,” organized by BMB and PEF in collaboration with the Philippine Fauna Art Society, Buenas Artes Art Facility and Biodiversity Finance Initiative Philippines. It showcased art works depicting the Philippine eagle by Filipino artists, who even paid a registration fee that would be donated for the installation of a water system in a community that helps protect a Philippine eagle habitat in Davao City. There were also art workshops conducted by the Buenas Artes and PhilFAS; an audio-video presentation on Philippine eagle conservation; and an interactive presentation called “Fly Malaya Fly,” which chronicled the love of a mother eagle for her baby eaglet. Special prizes were given to participants whose artworks best illustrated the Philippine eagle. In September last year, DENR Secretary Antonia Loyzaga appealed to lawmakers to prioritize the passage of proposed measures to strengthen Republic Act 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act during the joint hearing of the Committees on Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change; on Finance; on Sustainable Development Goals, Innovation and Futures Thinking; and on Ways and Means. According to Loyzaga, the support of lawmakers in the amendment of RA 9147 is crucial in advancing collective efforts and initiatives to sustainably manage the country’s wildlife resources. The amendment of RA 9147 is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Targets 13, 14 and 15 (Climate Action, Life Below Water and Life on Land) that call for urgent and significant actions to reduce the degradation of natural habitats and halt the loss of biodiversity, she added. In July 2022, Loyzaga — together with PEF ED Salvador — met with Dr. Robert Kennedy, a renowned ornithologist and pioneer advocate on Philippine eagle research and conservation, for possible collaboration to help save the Philippine eagle. The Philippine eagle is endemic to the Philippines and is the largest forest raptor in the country. Found in the islands of Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao, the majestic bird has been classified as critically endangered under Department Administrative Order 2019-09 or the Updated National List of Threatened Philippine Fauna and Their Categories, and by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Katrina Ponce Enrile: A woman worthy of her name
Anyone who had come of age in the late 1970s and the 1980s would surely know about the most famous names and faces of the younger set of the era known for the coming of age of feminism and women’s lib. The 1960s may have ushered in a cultural revolution but it was in the succeeding decades that the cataclysmic events of the decade that was, in the Philippines, would manifest in the ways and attitudes of Filipino women. I mention this phase in our history because I am sharing my thoughts on one woman whom many consider as one of the country’s most powerful, influential and successful. She is Katrina Ponce Enrile. I may not privy to the growing-up years of Katrina Ponce Enrile, and I would not have the advantage of seeing her from the point of view of someone old enough to observe the growth of a child, but as a teenager, I would occasionally read about her and see her on photographs published in newspapers and magazines, although not too frequent. I just knew she was not only well-bred and beautiful in the mestiza sense being the daughter of a striking beauty of a mother (and the granddaughter of a handsome playboy of a paternal grandfather), but that, she too was brilliant. I would assume that she got her brains from her father, one of the wonder boys of the Marcos administration. Katrina would, in time, be mentioned in juicy gossip now and then, but it was her smarts in enterprise and management that she would eventually be recognized, this notwithstanding the controversial stories that one occasionally heard of her family members. [caption id="attachment_134172" align="aligncenter" width="525"] KATRINA Ponce Enrile has always lived up to her parents ‘ expectations.[/caption] ‘Treat everybody with respect’ But to imagine her childhood and teenage years, one would suppose that for all the comforts that she might have enjoyed while living first in Urdaneta and then Dasmarinas Village, she had had to assert herself, she had once been overheard to say: “At 10, I had to fight a little bit harder to be heard” -- which was expected if one were the only daughter of a famous lawyer of a father and a lovely talented mother, herself a respected stage actress. But no matter that she had to deal with being the daughter of awe-inspiring parents, what she had been showered with, aside from her parents’ affection, was well-meaning advice. For one, it was from her dad and mom that she first heard the word of wisdom. “Treat everybody with respect — everybody. Because you don’t know what fate will bring you or them. People that you meet when you are going up, you also meet when you are going down.” No wonder that years later, as a businesswoman, she was very thoughtful in making decisions whether she was dealing with other top businessmen, her executives or the employees who served the family company at her beck and call. “I always think of how my actions and decisions would affect others,” she said in an interview with the Daily Tribune Lifestyle. No, for all the feisty woman that we know her to be, Katrina, was not advised to be aggressively pro-active when facing a conflict. The legendary Juan Ponce Enrile, instead, cautioned his daughter: “Never throw the first punch. But if they throw the first punch, then…” This, she would take to heart whenever she had had to face corporate, social or emotional bullies, not that she is one to attract people prone to violating her rights. [caption id="attachment_134173" align="aligncenter" width="525"] As the only daughter of Juan Ponce Enrile, the most famous native son of Cagayan, Katrina brings to her new job an affection for the province and Cagayanos and the whole Cagayan Valley.[/caption] One imagines her father might have preferred her to be a boy, JPE being a man’s man, but to which she would have retorted: “Dad, I don’t have to be a boy to be what I am now… Girls can do it too.” Call it outright confidence, or chutzpah, or maybe it’s Pinay pride, but Katrina is not one to be cowed. And yes, she could lead and fight and attack, but as her father would most likely say: “Only if they attack first.” Self-assured executive What I have heard of Katrina, especially from my dear friend, Carol Mercado, who was her classmate at St. Paul College, is her signature confidence. “From our youth, when she could be stubborn, she has matured steadily into a self-assured executive no wonder that she has accomplish much as an entrepreneur. “It’s a paradox that while she may have been underestimated at times and even flat out rejected, she knows how to overcome these challenges because she is one creative person and she is not one to easily bow down or to say no. But then, she is not even outright assertive. She could be very charming and before any nemesis would know it, she has gotten what she wants without lifting a finger.” It would seem that the lady would have aimed for political eminence, being the daughter of the powerful JPE, but to everyone’s surprise, she had chosen to create a name outside of her inherited box (or confines), so to speak. While she takes pride in being an Enrile, she has not taken advantage of her family name as though an amulet that would do wonders for her. Instead, she has chosen to rely on the old-fashioned values of industry, respect for others, commitment and determination. She might as well be girl scout, except more courageous, daring and trailblazing. Flexing her risk-taking muscles In her 20s, when her friends were disco dancing, she was, to use another friend’s words, “flexing her risk-taking muscle and sharpening her foresight for the first time — pivotal experiences that would shape her business sense now admired by many.” She surprised everyone when, at 26, she bought properties in Palawan. “It was a big joke to many,” she recalled. “They could not see any reason I should take the risk and invest in a place where no one dared go. It was then no man’s country and perceived to be mosquito-infested.” Today, Palawan is a safe haven from the pandemic, and, of course, an investors’ paradise. On the other hand, her parents saw a promise in her, someone who would play a key role in the family enterprises. They appointed her as Group Treasurer even before her 30th birthday, and with it the added role of overseeing the many concerns of the JAKA Group of Companies. It is quite a daunting responsibility given its extensive industrial reach –- food manufacturing and product distribution to marketing and logistics; forest plantation management; safety match manufacturing, property management and development; as well as IT, security and financial services. It would seem that, for a “beginner” in the big league, it was beyond Katrina’s grasp, and yet she lived up to her parents’ expectations. [caption id="attachment_134175" align="aligncenter" width="525"] SOME of Delimondo’s best products.[/caption] In time she would qualify as the firm’s COO and eventually CEO. Not one used to trumpeting her achievements, Katrina candidly shared: “I was able to turn around the company, helping navigate it through the debilitating Asian Financial Crisis in the mid-1990s. And when the peso devalued in 2008 to 2009, when we had [a] one dollar denominated loan which I had to quickly deal with, I was able to restructure our company and keep it afloat.” Soon, she would be trusted to manage JAKA’s investments, which “allowed me to dream of bigger things, this in the midst of an economic crisis and the pressure to survive it.” Her baby Delimondo When shopping in a supermarket or a grocery, the Filipino consumers, especially those who take their corned beef seriously, would pick the Delimondo brand. They would also put the brand’s Bolognese Pasta, Luncheon Meat, Yellowfin Tuna spreads and aromatic oils in their cart or shopping bags. Katrina confides, “Delimondo was my baby and was purely our family’s venture.” Her was a one-woman team that managed the brand’s marketing, sales and R&D. To introduce it to the market, she gave away cans of their initial recipes for free. “I wanted to offer something deliciously different, one that I enjoyed from my travels abroad.” [caption id="attachment_134174" align="aligncenter" width="525"] SHE is most proud of her baby, Delimondo.[/caption] It wasn’t long before investors would come in too aware that Delimondo operates its own plants that produce and package its own products. The company would soon expand and offers its manufacturing services to other products all the way to exporting them. In time and with Katrina at the helm, JAKA shifted to investing in other companies. But if her JAKA performance is impressive, anyone should take a look at her other achievements. To cite one, as the Philippines Overseas Telecommunications Operations director and CEO/president. She led the efforts to renew the company’s franchise that would allow it to provide the Philippines satellite services. For another, as director and president, she has brought into the Montemar Resorts Development Corporation and Montemar Beach Club Inc. not only her management expertise, but her exposure to top international resorts as a frequent guest. No wonder that Manila’s well-heeled consider these resorts as standard-bearers of local luxury travel. [caption id="attachment_134171" align="aligncenter" width="525"] ‘Delimondo was my baby and was purely our family’s venture,’ said Katrina.[/caption] Transforming the upper east corner of Luzon Katrina also sits as the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority’s vice chairperson. In this role, she envisions making the province a model destination that easily rivals the country’s capital. “They’re considering appointing me as administrator. Once that post is confirmed, I will be fully committed to transforming the upper east corner of Luzon into another business area that the Philippines will be proud of.” As part of her vision, she plans to build a stronger point of economy with the available freeport and expand its potential by constructing an airport. To attract investors, she plans to boost incentives to encourage more players to relocate. “We plan to make smart cities there. I plan to make it very green. I plan to protect the lush forests. It’s really also known as the rice granary of the Philippines. I plan to push the transition from GMOs (genetically modified organism) to non-GMOs. I know that that will be a hard task but I plan to do it. I want to give the Filipinos healthy food for the next generations to come,” she states. Worthy and deserving As the only daughter of the most famous native son of Cagayan, Katrina brings to her new job an affection for the province and Cagayanos and the whole Cagayan Valley. She may have grown up in Manila, travelled the whole world, but her heart has always remained in the home of her father, Juan Ponce Enrile, and it is among his people, relatives and townsmen that she intends to pursue her next dream. There is no stopping this feisty Cagayanon. For her home province, she is out to conquer the world. But then, I must insist that this is not about being her father’s daughter, although there is no denying the great influence of JPE on Katrina becoming the woman that she has become -- strong-willed, passionate, forward-thinking. Still, Katrina could only thank herself most for being herself. That she accepted the challenges that came her way and faced them head on using her own gifts and advantages – which undoubtedly brought her to her destiny, one that she has arrived at and one that she has yet to fulfill. Indeed, if the women’s movement has reached this far, and women today now enjoy key positions in government, private sector and civil society, this may be attributed to the generations of women who have looked toward the future and embraced their destinies as key players in the affairs of humanity. Katrina is one of these women and we wish her all the best. No one could be more worthy of the challenge and deserving of the honor.
