LOOK: APEC Ministers' spouses get a taste of PH food, culture


MANILA - The spouses of ministers who attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Ministerial Meetings (AMM) were treated to a day of Philippine food and culture.

They participated in the AMM Spouses' Program hosted by Gretchen del Rosario, the wife of Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario, and Rowena Domingo, wife of Trade and Industry Secretary Gregory Domingo.

The group toured the Ayala Museum and visited the Diorama Experience. The exhibition, featuring 60 dioramas, tells a comprehensive visual story of Philippine history.

Mrs. del Rosario and Mrs. Domingo also treated the group to a luncheon where local dishes such as chicken binakol, buko pandan, and sampaguita ice cream were served to the guests.

The luncheon was complemented by a cultural presentation with Triple Fret and Kontri Gapi providing music, and a fashion show featuring four collections: tribal, floral, black and white, and traditional.


The spouses and guests then went to visit the Kultura Filipino store at the SM Aura where they were welcomed by staff members with a dance called maglalatik.
