I was honored to have attended this dinner and played "tourism ambassador" at least for the evening-- along with Department of Tourism's Director Verna Buensuceso as we introduced our foreign guests, James Blick of The Sunday Times/ The Guardian/ Toronto Star/ El Pais; Timo Santala, who heads the City of Helsinki's Food Culture Strategy, and master sommeliers and certified wine consultants Cees Van Casteren and Ans Van Der Weijden, to Pinoy cuisine!
