Manang, credit should definitely have been given. Hmmm, maybe I should write a separate post on this issue…

My bibingka cake with a twang was featured as a fusion dessert (re-created by ChefKC). At first I felt honored. But after seeing the youtube video, I was disappointed that I was not given credit for the recipe. It was obvious that ChefKC was browsing my website, but they made it seem like it was the lasangpinoy website (I entered that recipe for the theme “Distinctly Pinoy with a Twang”). They could have at least mentioned my cybername to give me proper credit. Ces of LP gave me proper credit in her blog, but GMA-7 did not. Had I known, I should not have agreed to have my recipe recreated there (or I should have made it a condition that they give me credit for it, but I thought that was pretty obvious). Maybe if they learned I was a doctor when I was in PI, they would have been more interested to mention that.

Oh well, GMA-7 truly sucks. I do not plan to get myself involved with them in any way in the future.

I went to youtube and found something with the title of “panghimagas”, is that the one? They talked about pinoy desserts(fusion), they talk about how to make pastillas with the old lady making a decorative wrapper from papel de hapon? They didn’t mention anything about marketmanila.com nor marketman, so i thought it wasn’t the one…oh that’s too bad

I always watch 100% pinoy here in the U.S., but with your experience MM, maybe i’ll say i USED to watch it ;-)

Dear MarketMan:

Before anything else, we would like to thank you for generously sparing us your time to share with us valuable insights about desserts. We are also grateful for the survey on the favorite desserts of Pinoys. Your comments and suggestions were helpful to us. We regret that the poll was taken out in the course of the shoot. The team had to make a difficult decision on which elements will be explored. Due to time constraints, the team found it best to give more time to show the actual preparation of the featured desserts and dig deeper into the historical perspective.

We apologize for failing to inform you about the changes that were made and for any inconvenience that we might have caused.

Again, allow us to express our deep appreciation for your warm accommodation.

Sincerely,

Riz Figueroa

Progam Researcher

Lex, the survey results were of an OLD poll, the link is in the main article, above. Just click on the link to be directed to the post… and I didn’t do an earlier advise as I wasn’t sure when it was coming out…

Since many of us missed the program showing the feature on Philippine desserts, perhaps you can fill us in as to the result of your survey or dedicate blog on it. I am sure many are as curious as I am as to the results of the survey. In the future, could you advise us earlier when the show will be aired……
