Drug gangs war shakes French city
A bloody rivalry between two drug gangs in Marseille on France’s Mediterranean coast has claimed the lives of dozens of people this year, targeted in brazen attacks sometimes carried out by teenagers, according to police. The two gangs, “Yoda” and “DZ Mafia” are vying for control of the drug market in the notorious northern neighborhoods of France’s second biggest city. Since the start of the year, 36 people have died in the gang war, according to an Agence France-Presse count, already five more than in all of 2022. “It’s a bloodbath,” the city’s state prosecutor Dominique Laurens said back in April. Since then, there has been another surge in murders, with 12 people killed over the past month alone. The latest target was a 30-year-old man gunned down with a Kalashnikov assault rifle in northern Marseille Tuesday night. “This is nothing less than a new round in the fight between Yoda and DZ Mafia,” police prefect Frederique Camilleri told reporters Wednesday. The two gangs were behind 80 percent of the total of 68 gang-related killings or attempted killings in Marseille this year, she added. Some of the victims and perpetrators are teenagers, like a 17-year-old beaten to death by 30 attackers in the Marseille high-rise project known as La Paternelle. The killing was live-streamed on Snapchat, a messaging app. Camilleri said while murders linked to the drug trade used to be about the expansion of territory — such as the takeover of a dealing spot — they were now mostly about striking terror in their rivals.

Darned Good Lechon Baka!
[caption id="attachment_121286" align="aligncenter" width="525"] photographs by dolly dy-zulueta for the daily tribune | Mang Cesar's signature Angus Litson Baka.[/caption] There is such a thing as a blessing in disguise. Just when you think you’ve been beaten hard by life, life bounces back and gives you the best blessing you’ve ever had. It is exactly what happened to Cesar “Chuck” Cuneta Jr. He lost his job during the pandemic because the restaurant he was running had to temporarily shut down due to certain government parameters. He could have easily felt beaten and dwelt on the loss. But then the idea of building a business out of lechon manok came, and he did not have to spend a moment agonizing over his lost job and, instead, started setting up his new business, and everything fell into place. [caption id="attachment_121295" align="aligncenter" width="525"] LITSON manok.[/caption] Not too long after Chuck and his wife started selling lechon manok, the idea of shifting to lechon baka came to mind. Long before lechon baka became a hot food trend during the pandemic, Chuck was already making and selling it. “I just thought, nobody sells lechon baka in parts. So, I went to look for a beef part that we could sell for our lechon baka. Preparations wise, we had to make sure that we could cook and sell in small batches so there would be no waste. My wife made a Facebook page for online orders, and, with the grace of God, people responded,” Chuck recalls. [caption id="attachment_121290" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Grilled bangus.[/caption] He adds: “Then came doubling on advanced orders. We started on a made-to-order basis. Then my ninang, Cory Quirino, introduced me to Rubby Lugtu, my business partner now. He was the one who made things go in a positive direction.” Chuck named the business after his real name and called it Mang Cesar, which fits the bill perfectly. Initially, the business had two stores, one in Mandaluyong and one in Makati. They have since closed the Mandaluyong store for relocation purposes, accommodating primarily online orders as well as walk-ins for dine-in purposes. [caption id="attachment_121288" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Fried bangus.[/caption] Mang Cesar sells its signature lechon baka in 800-gram packs for large orders. They use Angus belly, which is tender and moist and has a good meat-to-fat ratio for roasting. They source their US Angus beef from a friend who imports meat to the Philippines, so there is consistency in supply. Mang Cesar has darned good lechon baka, so tender, juicy and flavorful, that it far exceeds more commercially available ones. Truth is that Mang Cesar’s signature Angus lechon baka made it to the circle of winners in the Ultimate Taste Test 2022 and was named the Best Lechon Baka in Manila. [caption id="attachment_121292" align="aligncenter" width="525"] LITSON kawali.[/caption] [caption id="attachment_121287" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Dinakdakan[/caption] Chuck has also developed a number of other products for the brand. These include lechon kawali, the original lechon manok, dinakdakan, fried bangus and grilled bangus, among others. For inquiries and orders, message Mang Cesar’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.
