Love CALABARZON, Love the Philippines!
The CALABARZON Region, an acronym for its five component provinces: Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon, is known for its rich culture, breathtaking sceneries, and delectable food. This is why the Department of Tourism has chosen the region for the second leg of the Philippine Experience Program — showcasing cultural tourism circuit development focused on the heritage, culture, and arts of the country’s various regions. From 30 September to 2 October 2023, delegates of the PEP, including foreign dignitaries from various Embassies, as well as tour operators, travel agencies, vloggers, and members of the media, were given the chance to explore the wonders of CALABARZON. The first stop of the PEP was the shrine in the ancestral home of the country’s first President, Emilio Aguinaldo, the place where the country’s first national anthem was played and where the Philippine flag unfurled. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="194483,194482,194484,194485"] Delegates later served the Magdiwang and Magdalo breakfasts, a simple yet rich morning feast consisting of Cavite’s products: the Amadeo garlic fried rice, tuyo, tapa, scrambled eggs and hot chocolate. Delegates had a glimpse of the remarkable talents of 51 competing marching bands all over the country at the Bakood Festival, coinciding with the 352nd Founding Anniversary of the City of Bacoor, the marching band capital of the country. PEP participants took an epic trip down memory lane to revisit a small town in Taal, Batangas, richly endowed with well-preserved towers, which made Taal an inspirational cornerstone and pillar of Filipino history. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="194481,194491"] Casa San Pablo was the first itinerary during PEP’s second day, where participants learned how coconut, the main product of San Pablo City, evolved and produced by-products such as lambanog (traditional Filipino distilled coconut palm liquor), vinegar, masapan de buko, macapuno and buko pie, among others. Lunch was served while participants’ feet were dipped at Villa Escudero, Atimonan, Quezon’s gem. The resort plantation offers sumptuous Filipino delis. A cultural show was also shown during guests’ relaxation at the plantation. [gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="194486,194487,194488,194490"] On the last day, PEP delegates experienced the Magdapio River’s turbulent current while riding bancas to Pagsanjan (Cavinti) Falls in Laguna, maneuvered by expert and skillful boatmen. Paete wood carvers, which the small town of Laguna is known for, also amazed delegates as they saw how these woodcarvers etched their family’s legacy in the town’s history. Delegates were welcomed at Lumban, Laguna, by energetic pupils wearing ternos and barongs. The streets of Lumban offer a wide array of shops selling embroidered Barong Tagalog and Filipinianas, the trademark of Laguna’s oldest town. The Philippine Experience Program is just one of the many projects of Secretary Cristina Garcia Frasco. It aims to diversify the cultural tourism product offerings of the country, equalize opportunities across the regions, support the preservation of the country’s heritage and artistic resources and assets, and, most importantly, instill a sense of pride and patriotism among the Filipino people through a greater appreciation of the country’s inheritance and legacy.

Chinese youths trade city-living for ceramics
China's "Porcelain Capital" Jingdezhen is attracting droves of young people drawn to the city of artisans in search of an escape from the urban rat race among its ceramics workshops. The picturesque eastern city home to China's best-known porcelain has seen an influx of young professionals seeking to learn an ancient art taught there for more than a thousand years. Times are tough for young people in China, with youth unemployment at record highs, sluggish economic growth and, for many, the opportunities their parents' generation enjoyed are simply not attainable. But in Jingdezhen they find something different: low rent, a slower pace of life and a proximity to nature in a city of just 1.6 million inhabitants, very small by Chinese standards. From her one-bedroom apartment on the seventh floor, He Yun, a 28-year-old illustrator, enjoys a panoramic view of the surrounding green hills for just 500 yuan ($68) a month. She arrived in Jingdezhen in June after being laid off and found a place where she didn't feel "any pressure". "I came because on social media everyone was saying that it was a great place for craft fans, like me, and that there was a scent of freedom," she said. "When I lost my job, I stayed at home and got depressed. But once I arrived here, I found that it's super easy to make friends." "No more need to set the alarm in the morning," she smiled. "I have zero pressure now!" - 'Looking for meaning' - A typical day for He starts with a laid-back breakfast, before heading to a workshop to make her ceramic candle holders and necklaces, which are then fired in one of the city's many kilns. "At the end of the afternoon, we go to the surrounding villages and swim in the streams to relax," she said. "I put my work on Xiaohongshu" -- a Chinese app similar to Instagram -- "where people contact me to buy. But we mainly sell at the market," she said. Between trendy cafes, boutiques and stands offer glasses, bowls, cups, teapots, plates, necklaces or earrings. Chen Jia, 24 with dyed red hair, makes feminist pendants in the shape of sanitary napkins. A music graduate who arrived in June, her first jobs as a piano teacher and in a milk tea shop and cafe weren't to her liking. "I am looking for meaning in my life," she said. "Many young people today no longer want to clock in at work at a fixed time." China's transformative economic rise was built on the backs of a growing middle class, who were promised they could enjoy the trappings of prosperity and give their children a better life if they worked hard enough. But the country's millennials and Gen Z have faced altogether different prospects: youth unemployment has reached a record level, exceeding 20 percent according to official figures, and pay is low. It's in that context that the "tangping" counterculture has thrived. Literally meaning "lying flat", it's come to represent a general rejection of society's expectations, giving up a great career and money to concentrate on a simple life and pleasures. And Jingdezhen has become a haven for those seeking just that. At the Dashu pottery school, around 20 students work with clay on their pottery wheels or chat as they sip iced lattes. Training costs 4,500 yuan a month ($617), a very affordable price. "Many young people cannot find work" explained the 39-year-old director who calls herself Anna. "They come here to reduce their anxiety." "Ceramics are very accessible. In two weeks, they can produce simple works and sell them at markets." - 'New life' - One of them, Guo Yiyang, 27, resigned in March from a well-paid job as a computer programmer. After working overtime for years, he said he wanted to "take a breather". "In big cities... you just work. You don't have your own life," he said, adding he "never again" sees himself working that way. "The desire for another way of life" is also what motivated Xiao Fei, 27, a former interior designer who resigned and came to Jingdezhen in June. "I didn't have time for myself," she said. "I came home tired and I didn't want to talk to others." "I feel happier, more free and I meet people who have the same ideals." According to Chinese media, 30,000 young urbanites lived in Jingdezhen in 2022. Few stay long-term but Xiao already knows that she doesn't want to go back. "After tasting this new life, I don't want to go back to an office job at all." ehl-oho/je/mtp/sn/pbt © Agence France-Presse The post Chinese youths trade city-living for ceramics appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Giuliani: ‘America’s Mayor’ threatened by anti-Mafia law he spearheaded
Forty years ago, Rudy Giuliani was the fearless Mafia-busting prosecutor whose aggressive use of racketeering laws brought down New York's Five Families. On Tuesday, he was fighting for his own freedom after being ensnared by the very legal strategy he had pioneered. The man once feted as "America's Mayor" for steering the US financial hub through the horror of the 11 September 2001 attacks has experienced a stunning fall from grace. Charged with 13 felonies over the help he is alleged to have given his client and longtime friend Donald Trump in trying to subvert the 2020 presidential election, the attorney is threatened with years behind bars as his 80th birthday approaches. "It's just the next chapter in a book of lies with the purpose of framing President Donald Trump and anyone willing to take on the ruling regime," Giuliani said on X, formerly known as Twitter, after he was charged Monday. It was a typically bombastic response from the 107th mayor of New York City, who played a starring role in Trump's post-election push to cling to power through an allegedly criminal campaign of lies about voter fraud. Giuliani was charged Monday under Georgia's Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Practices (RICO) statute, the plaudits he once earned squandered in a series of increasingly bizarre media appearances around the 2020 election. He is one of 18 co-defendants charged alongside Trump. 'Person of the Year' They included an unwitting cameo in a Sacha Baron Cohen movie in which Giuliani was filmed lying on a hotel bed with his hands down his pants and a post-election press conference held outside a landscaping business surrounded by a crematorium and a sex shop. At another press event, Giuliani and his allies claimed mass voter fraud without a shred of evidence as hair dye streamed in dark rivulets down the attorney's cheeks. Born in an Italian American enclave of Brooklyn on 28 May 1944, Rudolph William Louis Giuliani made his name in his 40s as a pioneering US attorney for Manhattan, using RICO to bring down the high command of the New York mob. Giuliani captured the New York mayorship in 1993 and gained national prominence in the wake of the 9/11 attacks by helping salve the shocked city's soul, earning Time Magazine's prestigious "Person of the Year" honor. "We've undergone tremendous losses, and we're going to grieve for them horribly, but New York is going to be here tomorrow morning, and it's going to be here forever," he declared. The Republican suffered his first big setback in 2008 with a disastrous bid for the White House and appeared adrift until Trump eventually brought him back into the fold. Gaffes and walk-backs After Trump was elected, he appointed Giuliani to fight a federal probe into the campaign's extensive ties to Russia, and the lawyer became a constant TV presence. But gaffes and walk-backs were as much a feature of Giuliani's lawyering as his spirited talk show diatribes -- and he led Trump into trouble as often as steering him away. Never the most reliable spokesman, Giuliani proved susceptible to seemingly unforced admissions -- contradicting Trump's denials over hush money payments to a porn star and his pursuit of a business deal in Moscow before the 2016 election. But the effort to reverse Trump's clear election loss in 2020 appears, in the end, to have sealed Giuliani's downfall. One by one, his post-election court challenges were withdrawn or dismissed as groundless. Giuliani's license to practice has been suspended in New York over his "demonstrably false" claims of a stolen election and the Bar in the nation's capital is considering disbarring him. Long before attracting the attention of a legal system that once basked in his reflected glory, Giuliani acknowledged that representing Trump could end up being his legacy. "I am afraid it will be on my gravestone. 'Rudy Giuliani: He lied for Trump,'" he told The New Yorker in 2019. "If it is, so what do I care? I'll be dead. I figure I can explain it to St. Peter."

A provincial breakfast
For health, a doctor-friend advises we should drink more of our native pure chocolate beverage instead of coffee. My doctor-friend says current research shows drinking native pure cacao builds up stem cells, cells that, as I’m often confidentially told, are extending the shelf life of some of our more colorful geriatric politicians. But other than medical counsel for regenerating tired old bodies, his advice had me nostalgic for the laid-back charms of my hometown, Cebu City, in the 1960s and my childhood breakfasts. Back then, the multi-layered aroma of the frothy sikwate, Cebuano for native chocolate drink, wafting in the quiet dawn air was a sheer, inimitable pleasure. Prepared by my mother, the sikwate bubbled in a terracotta Grecian pitcher-shaped, charcoal-bottomed batidor sitting precariously on a single earthen stove, fired up by bakawan or mangrove wood. If I happened to be up at the crack of dawn, I would watch my mother vigorously palm-rolling the wooden long-handled bolonea to dissolve the pure cacao tableya and brown sugar in boiling water, to achieve the sikwate’s velvety smoothness and lip-smacking frothy glory. Once poured into large thick-walled glass tumblers — those working-class glasses often found in Chinese restaurants — the sikwate came served with generous servings of the Cebuano delicacy puto maya and succulent ripe mangoes. Itinerant vendors sold the banana leaf-wrapped, triangle-shaped puto maya, but the sweet mangoes came from the market, likely sourced from the city’s abundant mango groves in the Guadalupe district, now a distant memory. Puto maya is steamed sticky glutinous rice or malagkit. Cooked for an hour with coconut milk or gata, sugar, salt and ginger — fresh ginger juice gives the puto maya an added kick — the delicacy was scooped straight from the steamer and served on a plate when bought from the public market stalls. If puto maya wasn’t available, there was always my Lola Isang’s celebrated budbud. Lola Isang, my late paternal grandmother, had a singular way with heirloom budbud recipes, just as my late mother had with cakes, breads, tarts, pies, ensaimada, napoleons, and exquisite silvanas dusted with cashew bits. Budbud is simply sticky rice mixed with coconut milk, sugar and salt steamed over low heat, then hand-rolled to about five inches long and wrapped in banana leaf. Budbud is the simplest food in the Cebuano rice-cake universe, but if my Lola Isang felt fancy enough when she woke up at 3 a.m. to make them she would roll them together with diagonal violet strips like a barber’s pole, which I later found out wasn’t ube but was still malagkit, only colored. And if Lola Isang had some millet around, which in Cebu came in the form of kabog from Catmon town in Northern Cebu, she would make one of Cebu’s unique delicacies, budbud kabog. Kabog is Cebuano for bat and for the small-seeded cereal plant that grew wildly on Catmon’s mountainous terrain, so named because bats feasted on them. Kabog seeds are coarse and bland. But once pounded and cooked with coconut milk and sugar it amazingly transforms into budbud kabog, eagerly sought after by aficionados, mostly sabungeros. Yet, all these delicacies were merely breakfast starters. In 1960s Cebu City, Cebuanos had two official breakfasts: The light painit in the early morning hours and the much later heavy pamahaw. Pamahaw in other households, of course, would have the more familiar scrambled eggs and Brazilian corned beef, but I definitely remember eating with gusto ma-is for pamahaw. Ma-is is of course corn. But the corn here is not on the cob but well-milled corn grains steamed to the consistency of rice. Unfeasibly as corn now sounds as a staple, but tummy-filling ma-is was definitely pamahaw, especially if paired with dangit or little round bite-size Cebuano chorizos or the rich fishy flavor of ginamos or partially fermented bolinaw (anchovies), of which Jose Rizal once insisted to a Spanish historian that Filipino fermented fish dishes were neither stinky nor rotten.

VP Sara backs LGBTQI’s livelihood aid
The Office of the Vice President recently provided livelihood aid to LGBTQI + organizations through its special project “Mag-Negosyo Ta ‘Day,” according to Vice President Sara Duterte during the 1st OVP Pride Reception at the Celebrity Sports Plaza, Capitol Hills Drive, Matandang Balara, Quezon City on Friday morning. Among the beneficiaries of the Mag Negosyo ‘Ta Day LGBTQI+ were Alima LGBT Federation from Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur; Palauig LGBT Federation from Palauig, Zambales; Maris ti Ayat LGBT Federation from Vigan City, Ilocos Sur; and Philippine Federation of Local Councils of Women. The Vice President said that each of the first three organizations will receive a grant of P150,000, while the PFLCW will receive P300,000. “We are optimistic that through proper and more empowered representation, access to capital for MSME entrepreneurs from the LGBTQI+ community will be expanded and innovatively developed,” Duterte said. The Vice President is also hoping that more groups will support the entrepreneurship program through skills training, mentoring programs and regular workshops and immersion. According to Duterte, the LGBTQI + sector could be among those with many members who have limited opportunities for livelihood or employment as there are a lot of things to be done to advance LGBTQI+ inclusion and equality in all sectors, including the business sector. “LGBTQI+ people already face enough obstacles on their own, but to sustain their enterprises and expand their businesses, they are far more likely to encounter issues that are specific to underserved and marginalized groups,” Duterte said. “Our LGBTQI+ community has been subjected to systemic discrimination. They experience obstacles when attempting to access funds, licenses, produce sales, hire staff, or obtain insurance, in addition to not feeling safe going out or exploring business prospects consistent with their identity,” she added. To recall, the entrepreneurship program kicked off in Davao City when the Vice President was then mayor. “Apart from our agenda for inclusivity and equality, we also pushed for the LGBTQI+ community’s important role in advancing the growth of our local commerce by providing them with platforms that will enable them to showcase their creativity and resourcefulness,” said Duterte. The Mag Negosyo Ta ‘Day aims to address the needs of diverse groups and sectors that are most victimized by poverty, injustice, and calamities by integrating them into the mainstream economy, so they become self-reliant, and empowered citizens of the country.
