Philippine cuisine has evolved over centuries, incorporating influences from Austronesian origins, Malay-Indonesian, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and American cultures. Traditional cooking methods included boiling, steaming, and roasting native ingredients like fish, meat and produce. Over time, staples like soy sauce, tofu, and techniques like stir-frying were introduced via trade with China. Subsequent influences came from neighboring Malay kingdoms and India. Spanish colonizers brought new ingredients from the Americas and adapted some Spanish dishes. Regional cuisines showcase native ingredients and dishes continue to incorporate global influences.

Food and Beverages Sustainability
Concept
According to the Worldwatch Institute(2009) the major problem in the global food production system is in the unsustainable inputs that are sued.
As a result, many forms of environmental degradation occur; falling water tables, deterioration of pasture, soil erosion.
The Western diet, with its high consumption of fish, meat and dairy products is endangering the environment; croplands are diminishing and the ocean’s fish stocks are in decline.
These grim warning signs are matched with some positive signs of awareness in society for health, environmental stewardship and animal welfare.
As a response to the problems being caused by conventional farming techniques the term sustainable food is now used to describe food production that does not take more natural resources than it gives back.
Sustainable food producers see nature as an ally rather than as an obstacle, they are able to produce wholesome food in symbiosis with nature and the surrounding community.
Uk government Sustainable Development Commission, Sustainable food is:
Safe, healthy and nutritious, for consumers in shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals, etc. And can meet the needs of the less well-off people.
Provides a viable livelihood for farmers, processors and retailers, whose employees enjoy a safe and hygienic working environment whether in the United Kingdom or overseas.
Respects biophysical and environmental limits in its production and processing, while reducing energy consumption and improving the wider environment; it also respects the highest standards of animal health and welfare, compatible with the production of affordable food for all sectors of society.
Supports rural economies and the diversity of rural culture, in particular through an emphasis on local products that keep food miles to a minimum.
The term sustainable food may not sound exciting as a description but catering businesses who develop processes to improve the sustainability of the food they offer stand a better chance of meeting the growing demands of individual consumers.
Once the domain of students and hippies the movement has moved into mainstream society and is represented by some very prominent industry players
example
Starbucks, has started selling four categories of what it calls “sustainable coffees”.
The nature of sustainable food often means that they are more expensive than other types of food.
Inevitably, there is a danger that restaurant operations seeking to provide clients with sustainable food choices may increase prices.
There is limited evidence that individual restaurant consumers are prepared to both purchase and pay a premium for sustainable food products.
Consumer attitudes toward sustainable food
Although consumer awareness of sustainability is growing, it is not yet making a huge difference to what customers choose to buy when they shop for food or sit down to eat in a restaurant.

EVENT INFRASTRUCTURE
Identify event infrastructure
The first stage of event operational planning involves establishing the event infrastructure requirements.
These requirements could be for an indoor venue, such as sports centre, community hall or an exhibition centre.
They could also be for an outdoor site.
Identify event infrastructure
The first step is to coordinate with relevant authorities at the commencement of the management cycle to ensure regulatory requirements are integrated into planning process.
Identify event infrastructure
The second step is to identify and analyse infrastructure and facility requirements based on detailed review of all aspects of the proposed event and venue.
These requirement includes:
Staging
Power supply
Water supply
Heating or air-conditioning
Public toilets
Erection of temporary structures (in addition to staging)
Scaffolding
Emergency services
Car and coach parking
Transport systems
Contractor access
Camping sites or other temporary accommodation
Signage
Technology requirements
Disabled access
Waste management
Security
Any environmental or heritage requirements
Once detailed list of the infrastructure requirements has been developed, it needs to be discussed with the approving authority or venue management.
At all stages it is necessary to incorporate safety, security and risk management issues into all planning documentation and processes as safety aspects are the most likely to lead to rejection of event plans.
Establish and organise event infrastructure
Following approval from the relevant authorities , site or venue manager, steps can be taken to establish and organise event infrastructure and contractors.
It requires accurate request for tenders or detailed briefing of contractors so that quotes can be obtained from suppliers of equipment and services.
Establish and organise event infrastructure
Licences may be required for:
Building work
Electrical work
Gas fitting
Handling hazardous materials
Forklift operations
Stage sets(e.g. Fire retardant certification)
Rigging
Pyrotechnics and special effects
security
Establish and organise event infrastructure
The logistics of event management planning involves:
getting things organised
getting things in the right place at the right time
pulling everything down.
Establish and organise event infrastructure
Running an outdoor event:
Each element of the proposed infrastructure must be discussed with key stakeholders and suppliers.
Careful coordination and monitoring is essential particularly during the bump-in phase when several contractors will be working simultaneously.
Bump-in (or set-up)
Setting up can be a time-consuming process and a run-through must be built into planning
It is absolutely essential as it is imperative that all facilities and equipment work.
For outdoor sites:-an all-terrain vehicle may be needed to avoid damage to grass.-Perimeter fencing is required - Computer network
RESEARCH AND EVALUATION APPROACHES
Objectives
Recognise the importance of integrating a research and evaluation component in event management.
Understand the different characteristics of impacts in doing an event impact evaluation
Objectives
Understand the stages of the event evaluation process
Describe common research methods and tools used for evaluating events.
Describe the evaluation of the different factors that are part of tourism event.
RESEARCH AND EVALUATION APPROACHES TECHNIQUES
Can be carried out on events, prior to, during and after the event.
Important to determine whether an event’s objectives have been reached, and give valuable input to make any necessary amendments to an ongoing event or future ones.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH AND EVALAUTION
EVENTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE RESEARCHED- if they are, this may yield only partial bits of information.- the event organiser or client may lack a research culture or determine it is better to allocate resources elsewhere.- Not establishing a research agenda can leave outcome gaps and inability to reply specifically to criticism or queries from the client, media, community or other government entities.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH AND EVALAUTION
EVENTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE RESEARCHED- Not establishing a research agenda can leave outcome gaps and inability to reply specifically to criticism or queries from the client, media, community or other government entities.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH AND EVALAUTION
Event organiser may conduct research as part of the event brief or as a value-added component.
The research must have the purpose of producing results that are usable.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH AND EVALAUTION
Research on the impacts and effects of the event must be tailored to the specific event. - event tourism evaluation should be focused on the impacts on the destination.- a performer at a series of concerts will judge sales of merchandise, albums or songs from CD purchase or downloads.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH AND EVALAUTION
Evaluation of an event’s sustainability should focus on a holistic or “processual” evaluation at all stages of the event process, not just the outcome. (Clarke, 2004). - evaluation should take place not only when the event commences, but prior to that-during its initial and formative phrases.
IMPACT EVALUATION
Impacts differ depending on the event type, offering varying degrees of economic and social benefits.
In conducting event impact research, the following information should be considered:
Impacts of dynamic
Impacts can snowball
Impacts can be disproportionate
Impacts must be measurable
Impacts are political
Impacts can be benchmarked
Impacts can be long-term
Impacts of dynamic
Impacts of an event held this year may differ in degree the following year.
An event can take some time to plan and stage, and during this impacts could change.
Impacts can snowball
Viewed in isolation, several families leaving a location to escape
EVENTS CONCEPT
Stakeholder
From a broad idea that a stakeholder is a person who can affect or will be affected by the event.
The more specific idea that a stakeholder is a person of influence but not directly involved in the work. Clearly, this definition could also include an organisation such as a government.
Getz( 1997) states that stakeholders are those people and groups with a stake in the event and its outcomes, including all groups patrcipating in the event production, sponsors and grant-givers, community representatives and anyone impacted by the event
These stakeholder may include:
Event principal (key person in host organisation or client)
Organising committee
Sponsors, donors
Local community
Local authorities (e.g. Council, emergency services, environmental authority)
Service contractors ( e.g. Staging, cleaning, catering, security)
Suppliers
Performers, entertainers, participants
Spectators, audience
media
Numerous factors need to be considered in developing the event concept
Purpose of the event
Although the purpose is also strongly linked to both the theme and the venue
In some instances defining the purpose is difficult.
Brigade de cuisine
(English: kitchen brigade) is a system of hierarchy found in restaurants and hotels employing extensive staff, commonly referred to as "kitchen staff" in English speaking countries.
-The concept was developed by Georges Auguste Escoffier.
- Note: Despite the use of chef in English as the title for a cook, the word actually means "chief" or "head" in French. Similarly, cuisine means "kitchen," but also refers to food or cooking generally, or a type of food or cooking.
Chef de cuisine (kitchen chef; literally "chief of kitchen")
is responsible for overall management of kitchen; supervises staff, creates menus and new recipes with the assistance of the restaurant manager, makes purchases of raw food items, trains apprentices, and maintains a sanitary and hygienic environment for the preparation of food
Sous-chef de cuisine (deputy kitchen chef; literally "sub-chief")
-receives orders directly from the chef de cuisine for the management of the kitchen, and often serves as the representative when the chef de cuisine is not present. Smaller operations may not have a sous-chef, while larger operations may have more than one.
Saucier (saucemaker/sauté cook)
-prepares sauces and warm hors d'oeuvres, completes meat dishes, and in smaller restaurants, may work on fish dishes and prepare sautéed items. This is one of the most respected positions in the kitchen brigade, usually ranking just below the chef and sous-chef.
Chef de partie (senior chef; literally "chief of party"; party used here as a group, in the sense of a military detail)
is responsible for managing a given station in the kitchen, specializing in preparing particular dishes there. Those who work in a lesser station are commonly referred to as ademi-chef.
Cuisinier (cook)
-is an independent position, usually preparing specific dishes in a station; may also be referred to as a cuisinier de partie.
Commis (junior cook)
also works in a specific station, but reports directly to the chef de partie and takes care of the tools for the station.
Apprenti(e) (apprentice)
are often students gaining theoretical and practical training in school and work experience in the kitchen. They perform preparatory work and/or cleaning work.
Plongeur (dishwasher or kitchen porter)
cleans dishes and utensils, and may be entrusted with basic preparatory jobs
Marmiton (pot and pan washer, also known as kitchen porter)
in larger restaurants, takes care of all the pots and pans instead of the plongeur.
Rôtisseur (roast cook)
manages a team of cooks that roasts, broils, and deep fries dishes
Grillardin (grill cook)
in larger kitchens, prepares grilled foods instead of the rôtisseur.
Friturier (fry cook)
in larger kitchens, prepares fried foods instead of the rôtisseur

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed

29. Characteristics
Filipino cuisine centres around
the combination of sweet
(tamis), sour (asim), and salty
(alat), although in Bicol, the
Cordilleras and among Muslim
Filipinos, spicy (anghang) is a
base of cooking flavor.
30. Counterpoint is a feature in
Philippine cuisine which normally
comes in a pairing of something
sweet with something salty, and
results in surprisingly pleasing
combinations
31. Examples include:
champorado (a sweet cocoa rice
porridge), being paired with tuyo (salted,
sun-dried fish)
dinuguan (a savory stew made of pig's
blood and innards), paired with puto
(sweet, steamed rice cakes)
unripe fruits such as mangoes (which are
only slightly sweet but very sour), are
eaten dipped in salt or bagoong
the use of cheese (which is salty) in
sweetcakes (such as bibingka and puto),
32. Vinegar is a common ingredient.
Adobo is popular not solely for its
simplicity and ease of preparation,
but also for its ability to be stored for
days without spoiling, and even
improve in flavor with a day or two
of storage.
Tinapa is a smoke-cured fish while
tuyo, daing, and dangit are corned,
sun-dried fish popular because they
can last for weeks without spoiling,
even without refrigeration.
33. Cooking and eating in the Philippines
has traditionally been an informal and
communal affair centered around the
family kitchen.
34. Filipinos traditionally eat three
main meals a day:
agahan or almusal (breakfast)
tanghalían (lunch)
and hapunan (dinner) plus an afternoon
snack called meriénda (also called
minandál or minindál).
35. Snacking is normal. Dinner, while still the
main meal, is smaller than other countries.
Usually, either breakfast or lunch is the
largest meal. Food tends to be served all at
once and not in courses. Unlike many of
their Asian counterparts Filipinos do not eat
with chopsticks. Due to Western influence,
food is often eaten using flatware—forks,
knives, spoons—but the primary pairing of
utensils used at a Filipino dining table is
that of spoon and fork, not knife and fork.
The traditional way of eating is with the
hands, especially dry dishes such as inihaw
or prito. The diner will take a bite of the
main dish, then eat rice pressed together
with his fingers.

42. Philippine cuisine has a variety of native
ingredients used.
The biota that developed yielded a
particular landscape and in turn gave the
place local ingredients that enhanced
flavors to the dishes.
Kalamansi is the more known of those
ingredients, it is a fruit that belongs to the
genus citrus.
It is mostly used due to the sourness it
gives to a dish
43. Another is the Tabon-tabon, a tropical
fruit which were used by pre-colonial
Filipinos as anti-bacterial ingredient
especially in Kinilaw dishes.
The country also cultivates different type
of nuts and one of them is the Pili nut,
which the Philippines is the only known
edible exporter of. It is usually made as a
merienda or is incorporated in other
desserts to enhance the flavor due to the
milky texture it gives off as it melts in the
mouth
44. Tultul, a type of rock salt is another
ingredient made only in Guimaras
whom most use it to sprinkle on cooked
rice to serve as a viand. The salt is an
assortment of reeds, twigs and small
pieces of bamboo carried to the shore
by the sea tide where they have been
soaked in seawater for some time and
is then burned in large quantities while
continually being doused with salt water
on a daily basis
45. Luzonese cuisine
Ilocanos, from the rugged Ilocos region,
boast of a diet heavy in boiled or steamed

monamon (fermented anchovy paste) to
produce pinakbet. Local specialties
include the soft white larvae of ants and
"jumping salad" of tiny live shrimp.

known for a snack called sundot-
kulangot which literally means "poke the

sweet made from milled glutinous rice
flour mixed with molasses, and served
