The event was held on 16 April 2019 at the Houston branch of popular Philippine restaurant chain Gerry’s Grill, where guests shared lumpia, lechong kawali, pansit and halo-halo.

As guests partook of Filipino cuisine, Consul General Santos gave an overview of the Philippines through its culinary history described as a confluence of cultures by years of interactions with different cultures from different continents of the world. “This was the making of a global Filipino and maybe one of the reasons why we as a people are able to easily adapt wherever we may be” said Consul General Santos.
