A Word from The Editor

Organizations We Love: UNIFFIED

Oliver Oliveros

I wear my “adventure hat,” similar to that of intrepid traveler and foodie Anthony Bourdain, when I visit far-flung places, whose geographical locations are actually relative to fleeting points of origin—because I travel a lot for work. The main idea, though, is to try out local culinary specialties in order to experience a bit of the food culture of the place you’re visiting. Sometimes the experience lingers on: a case in point, the Ilocos Region’s (in the Philippines) fearsome papaitan.

Chicago-based gastronome Victor Merano, who’s an advocate for Filipino cuisine, and who blogs at panlasangpinoy.com, best describes the distinctly Ilocano food: “Papaitan is a famous Ilocano soup dish mostly composed of cow or goat innards.

The name of this dish was derived from the Filipino word ‘pait,’ which means ‘bitter.’ The bitter taste of this soup comes from the bile. This is a bitter juice extracted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder to aid digestion.”

Not for the faint-hearted, huh? The papaitan can be intimidating, but it’s a welcoming departure from the too sweet Filipino spaghetti and too salty tuyo I was accustomed to growing up in Manila, the Philippines’ hub for mostly everything.

Now stationed in New York, much to my delight, I got reunited with the papaitan on my first night in the big city—of all places— as a graduate student at New York University (NYU) in the winter of 2011. Think of perfect timing: the wintry weather was unapologetically cold, but there I was—tired and hungry after a 13-hour-plane ride from Manila—sipping the bitter hot soup of the papaitan, served in a familiar white ceramic bowl, at Café 81, a Filipino restaurant in the East Village.

Silently I burped; grinning from ear to ear.

Of note, there has been a burgeoning demand for Filipino dishes in the city in the last three to four years. So if you find yourself in the heart of heart of Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, do yourself a favor and relish a wide array of sumptuous Pinoy food at these popular restaurants: Manhattan’s Maharlika, Jeepney,

I first encountered the dish at a food stop in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, more than 15 years ago, while en route to a youth mission trip for CFC Singles for Christ to Laoag City. Served hot from a native clay pot, the papaitan’s bitter broth dampens your dry mouth and throat, and satisfies your empty stomach during a 10 to 12-hour-long bus ride. Since then I’ve been craving for the uncommon papaitan whenever I journey the roads of Ilocos.

Ilocos’ fearsome delight: papaitan Ugly Kitchen, Grill 21, and Pandesal; Queens’ Sizzle Me, Papa’s Kitchen, Payag, Ihawan, Perlas, Engeline’s, Renee’s Kitchen, Fritzies, and Fiesta Grill; and Brooklyn’s Purple Yam, among others.

he United Federation of Fil-Am Educators (UNIFFIED) has recently been formed to present the 2014 “Search for Ulirang Guro Award” and the “Lampara Award” at the Norman Thomas High School on 33rd Street.

It was a beautiful and solemn ceremony held April 12. The 10 Ulirang Guro Award recipients this year were Leila Rodulfa and Julieta Perez (Elementary Category); Amelyn Trayvilla, Marvin Cadornigara, and MariaFe Aguilar (Middle School Category); Melvin Damaolao, Ronie Mataquel, Emmanuel Malana, and Connie Mangaoil (High School Category); and Nestor Tebio (Business Category).

Mrs. Remedios Fe Cabactulan was also aptly bestowed with the Lampara Award, a recognition given to retired teachers who still volunteer their time in the Filipino-American community. It was such a delight to hear her praise the teachers who continue to make a big difference in the lives of many children and youths.

“Without the teachers, there will be no other professionals,” said Ambassador Libran Cabactulan, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Republic of the Philippines to the United Nations, who accompanied his wife, Fe.

Patriotic Rizalistas

The World is My Oyster

Dr. Prospero A. Lim

The Order of the Knights of Rizal, a civic and patriotic fraternal organization, was granted a legislative charter under Republic Act 646 and signed into law by President Elpidio Quirino on June 14, 1951. The organization honors and upholds the ideals and teachings of the Philippines’ National Hero, Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal.

Formed in the Philippines by a few men from different walks of life on December 30, 1911, the fraternity is alive and well in many countries around the world. In the United States of America, the New York Chapter of the Order of the Knights of Rizal is one of several chapters in different states that is trying to keep the legacy of Dr. Rizal alive and relevant.

On May 14, 2014, the New York Chapter of the Order of the Knights of Rizal held its election of officers, whose responsibility is to steer the organization to success for the next two years.

The officers elected were Chapter Commander- Sir Dean Suba; Deputy Chapter Commander-Sir Jose Poblete; Chancellor-Sir Michael Dadap; Pursuivant-Sir Aniano Rabe; Exchequer-Sir Thor Hadannan; Archivist-Sir Ernie Pamolarco; and Trustees- Sir Roger Alama and yours truly.

The elected officers were sworn in by Trustee-Sir Roger Alama, who is the highest ranking officer and founder of the New York Chapter.

I wish all the officers the best.

Nicole Ponseca Philippine Culinary Hero

by Jose Antonio

Vargas

Since our first meeting, she’s been like a sister to me, a source of bottomless energy and constant inspiration. We plot a lot — we hope to work together soon. We text a lot.

Here is a Q&A conducted over the phone: J: I texted you and said you should call me in 5 minutes, and you called in 5 minutes.

N: Um, yes.

J: Are you always this punctual?

N: I’m better at it than I was before. I like to break stereotypes and be on time.

J: What are you saying? Filipinos are always late?

N: No, you said it. [Laughs.]

J: I ’m all about defining terms — like defining what it means to be American. So how do you define Filipino food?

N: [Laughs.] To me, if I were to define Filipino food, it’s so personal. Everyone has a story behind it. Food is one of the last memories immigrants hold onto when they leave their country. They leave belongings.

They leave family. But one of the things they hold onto is recipes. You take that with you.

here’s an emerging Renaissance of everything Filipino in America, especially in New York City, and Nicole Ponseca — restaurateur, community organizer, preeminent cultural ambassador — sits at the heart of it. You cannot be Filipino in the New York area and not know Maharlika and Jeepney, two of the restaurants she started and operates. (Whenever I meet a young Filipino professional in New York, the typical ice break is: “Have you been to Jeepney or Maharlika?”) You cannot be an effective organizer in the New York area without knowing Nicole. Her restaurants serve more than a modern take on kare kare, lumpia and balut — Maharlika and Jeepney serve as the war room, the command post, the nerve center of the Filipino American community, especially among the young, savvy, connected and influential set. You drink your Lea Salonga cocktail and raise money for victims of typhoon Haiyan.

I first met Nicole on New Year’s Eve in 2011. A few months before our meeting, I had just publicly revealed my undocumented immigrant status — “illegal” to many Americans, “TNT” (tago ng tago) to most Filipinos — in the New York Times Magazine and founded a media and culture campaign called Define American. After more than a decade of working as a journalist, writing for publications like the New Yorker, Rolling Stone and the Washington Post, where I won a Pulitzer Prize, I decided to come clean in hopes of starting a conversation about immigration and citizenship in a changing America. Around the same time, Nicole singlehandedly sought out to change perceptions about Filipino food and culture by officially opening her first restaurant, Maharlika. The key word here is “officially.”

That’s because the idea for Maharlika and Jeepney was born in 2007, when she invited her friends, Filipinos and non-Filipinos, for weekly test kitchens at her apartment. By day, she worked as a full-time ad executive and at night worked at restaurants: first as a dishwasher, then a bartender, then a host and server, until she knew how to do every job in a restaurant.

The restaurant industry is cut-throat; the failure rate is 90 percent, meaning in the first year of business, only 1 out of 10 restaurants succeed. But Nicole has more than succeeded — she is breaking new ground. And getting very little sleep in the process.

The earliest memory I have of Filipino food is running around the house in San Diego, where I grew up, and my Dad had made a fresh pot of kare kare. Nothing unusual with that. Except my Dad wanted to put bagoong in the plate and feed it to me. My Mom was shocked. She said I won’t like it. But my Dad said, “She’s Filipino — she’ll like it.” Then I had a taste and asked for more. I liked it.

“See, she’s Pinay,” my Dad said to my Mom. J: Now how do you define Filipino?

N: I should have seen that coming!

I only know what my parents are. My Mom [Arsenia] is Ilocano, my Dad [Gamaliel] is Cavitenio. She was a nurse. He was in the Navy. I have a mysterious relationship with the Philippines growing up, knowing that my bloodline is Filipino, but walking outside our house and realizing that being Filipino — in this very puti neighborhood — is not normal, at least not considered normal in my neighborhood. Growing up, I was keenly aware that I was different.

Like a lot of first-generation Filipinos, I led a dual life: an American life at school with my American friends speaking English, just one of the kids. Then a Filipino life at home, where the first thing I did when I got home was take off my shoes — that small ritual that meant entering a new world — and making a pot of rice.

J: As I’m hearing you speak, it sounds like defining Filipino food and defining Filipino both mean being comfortable with yourself, your story — it’s personal.

N: Yes, yes. Food is personal. Filipino food is personal to me.

why Filipino food has not move forward, especially here in the United States.

To me, these Filipino restaurants honor my culture and show how proud I am to be Filipina in America. It’s a way of introducing my non-Filipino friends to the food, which is a central part of our culture.

First, there’s a feeling of hiya, of being ashamed. Look, when you’ve been colonized for so long, you feel a sense of confusion, of not being proud of who you are and where you come from. Don’t get me wrong: we love sharing our food at fiestas! But, at the same time, we are ashamed of our skin color, we mask some of our foods. The French have boudin noir. The Spanish have morcilla. We have dinuguan! Let’s be proud of it. It’s not “chocolate meat.” Stop it.

As a kid in the 1980s, I used to be ashamed that my Dad ate with his hands.

Especially when my friends were around.

I would tell him: “Let’s just order pizza so it’s OK for you to eat with your hands” When my Dad cooked pig ears, I wouldn’t eat it when my friends were around. I was ashamed to eat it in public. Kind of like the way Filipinos eat balut — eat it in the dark, where you don’t see what you’re eating and people don’t see you’re eating it, as if it’s embarrassing.

Filipino food is personal to me, because it’s taking everything that I was ashamed of, what I felt hiya about, stuff that I couldn’t explain before, and now putting it all out on the open, for Filipinos and non-Filipinos to enjoy and celebrate and be proud of. That’s why we scream “Balut!” whenever someone orders it.

Why shy away from it? Why not be proud of it?

J: Filipinos are the third largest immigrant group in the U.S., behind the Mexicans and the Chinese. Yet our food is not nearly as visible. Pancit and lumpia are not as known as Pad Thai and the California Roll. Why is that?

N: For me there are two definitive reasons

“Filipino

Second, we don’t really have a culture of raising entrepreneurs. Our parents come to America — they take that risk of coming to America — and they raise us to take risk-averse jobs, jobs that have stature, like being a doctor or a nurse or an accountant, but jobs that aren’t too risky. Starting a restaurant? That’s risky.

I remember how shocked my parents were when I told them I wanted to work in restaurants. We are raised to do hard work, but almost always for other people. And there’s no financial structure.

Koreans? Chinese? They help their own start businesses. Filipinos? Not so much.

We don’t have that infrastructure — not yet, at least.

J: You are a woman of color, an entrepreneur competing in one of the most competitive culinary cities in the world, presenting a cuisine that is mostly unknown and labeled underground. How do you not get overwhelmed?

N: I get overwhelmed all the time. All the time. It’s non-stop from the moment I wake up in the morning. It’s like having a child — you never stop thinking about your child.

Few shoulders stand with mine as a woman entrepreneur. Especially as a woman of color. In many instances, I feel like I’m first in the door. It’s not like there’s someone on the other side of the door saying, “Hey, kid, this is how I did this.” This is why I look up to women like Loida Lewis [a Filipina-American entrepreneur who was the first Asian American to pass the American bar without having been educated in the U.S.].

As for my contemporaries? Where are they? We need a network. We need more Pinays breaking out of molds.

J: But you’re more than a restaurant owner, right? How do you see yourself?

N: The restaurants were about building a sound business; I knew there was an opportunity there. But I don’t really think I opened a restaurant. What I think I opened is a headquarters for Filipinos and Filipino Americans, especially those in their 20s, 30s and 40s, who embrace their past and seek a collective identity, to come together. I feel like I opened a community center. Through the restaurants, I have a connection with the Philippines, with my culture, that I never thought I was going to have.
