My essay “Biscocho Pasuquin” won an honorable mention award. I got a copy of “Larousse Gastronomique” and a year’s subscriptions of FOOD and FOODIE Magazines. I wonder who were the other winners coz I was not invited to the dinner at the Cirkulo Restaurant. First time to join.

I think only the winning entry/ies should be considered as properties of the contest organizers so the entries that do not suit the preference of the judges will have another chance to share their essays online and with other publications.

The best biskwits in the Philippines are those made by Panaderia de Molo.

This is very interesting, I would love to to send my entry.
As baking is one of my passion , I could still remember making my own recipe , biskwit, and biscocho into a traditional way with a sense of style.

Agree with other posters, you should submit an entry. BTW, your blog is really widely read, as read from another blog which commented about your article on your encounter with MAC. Whatever they say….basta kami believe sa integretiy mo. You are one of the very few who do their blog for the love of it and not for money or any endorsement/ ex-deals.

MM, the organizers probably got the idea for this year’s theme from your earlier post about a national cookie! i remember that post elicited a lot of comments and memories.

whackerZ, I think you need to refer that question to the organizers. I am not sure if you lose copyright to your material.

MM, what exactly does “…submissions become the property of the Manila Ladies Branch of the International Wine & Food Society” mean? Does the author lose ownership of and rights to the submitted essay?
