๐ŸŒ WHEN LIFE GAVE FILIPINOS BANANAS, THEY MADE KETCHUP. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ

For this History Month, we are taking a closer look at Filipino food and the stories behind the dishes and ingredients that have become part of our everyday lives.

Banana ketchup is one of the most familiar products in Filipino cuisine. Its history is often connected to Maria Y. Orosa, a Filipino food scientist known for developing food products using local ingredients. During World War II, when tomatoes were hard to find, bananas were used as an alternative, eventually leading to the sweet and tangy condiment we know today.

Made with banana puree, vinegar, sugar, and spices, banana ketchup became a familiar part of Filipino meals and later found its way to Filipino communities around the world.

Its story is often remembered as one of Filipino creativity and resourcefulness, but there are also lesser-known stories about the workers and labor issues connected to its production.

This History Month, let us look beyond what is on the table and discover the history behind the food we grew up with. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ๐ŸŒ

HOW WAS YOUR FIRST WEEK, GA?

First week back andโ€ฆ what an emotional rollercoaster.
From being excited to see everyone again, catching up with friends, and enjoying the first-day vibes, to suddenly questioning โ€œWhy is there already so much to do?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ“š

We went from ๐Ÿ˜† โ†’ ๐Ÿฅน โ†’ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ โ†’ ๐Ÿ˜ญ โ†’ ๐Ÿ˜ก real quick. One minute weโ€™re having fun, the next weโ€™re already looking at our schedules like โ€œIs this really my life now?โ€ ๐Ÿซฉ

But despite all the stress, tiredness, and โ€œacademic break pleaseโ€ moments, it was still nice to be back and make new memories with our fellow ND students ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป
One week down, and weโ€™re still alive! ๐Ÿ˜ญโœ‹Remember Ga, letโ€™s just take it one day, one class, and one breakdown at a time.๐Ÿ

Hereโ€™s to more memories, more learning, more laughs, and hopefullyโ€ฆ more tulog. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’š
Welcome back, NDs! We got this! ๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ“šโœจ

A 24-hour food recall isn't just about asking โ€œAno kinain mo?โ€ ๐Ÿ‘€

Itโ€™s about remembering the little things tooโ€”coffee, snacks, drinks, desserts, and even that โ€œtikim lang.โ€
Because sometimes, โ€œkonti langโ€ has a whole menu behind it. ๐Ÿคฃ
