“The more important question is who gets to shape the story of Filipino food? Will this moment highlight the full breadth of our cuisine from fine dining to the everyday soul of carinderias and turo-turo stalls or will it narrow the focus to a select few?”

I love this piece! especially what you said about Filipino cuisine being a diasporic success because this is what I feel now. I also agree what you said about the heart of the Filipino cuisine beating the most in places that rarely make it to lists or guides. For example here in Cebu, the Sioma sa Tisa, Lechon in Carcar market or Talisay, or the bakasi in Cordova. These are rarely pretty spots but places where the locals actually go to.

Also saved this post as well for whenever I get the chance to be in Manila.
