ISEA, PRESENT Coalition co-organize  the Gulay Pa More! Fiesta, the first-ever Philippine Flora Fiesta

Have you ever heard of parirutong, kalingag, kulitis or sampinit? These are just some of the diverse indigenous crops in the Philippines that will be highlighted as key culinary ingredients in some of the plant-based dishes to be served during the ‘Gulay Pa More Fiesta’ event, the country’s first ever fiesta highlighting the abundance of
Philippine flora. The festival is happening on May 25, 2024, from 10 am to 7 pm, at the CSSP Parking Lot in UP Diliman, Quezon City.

The first-ever fiesta highlighting Philippine local and indigenous crops is a celebration that brings to the forefront the abundance of Philippine flora and our wide array of plant-based dishes that are important to our many local communities’ economy, culture, and resilience. The fiesta will also feature food innovations by participating chefs and small food businesses and an organic talipapa to promote interest in keeping our native biodiversity alive. Gulay Pa More! also aims to promote Philippine food heritage and plant-based cuisine, raise awareness on sustainable food systems, foster solidarity and create
community, honor the invaluable work of farmers, small producers and advocates, and
institutionalize this fiesta as an annual event.

So what else can we expect to find in the fiesta on May 25? Apart from the different food innovations using heritage, indigenous, and local ingredients, the fiesta will also have a talipapa of organic produce and rare native crops and artisanal products from different parts of the country (merchant stalls and produce market). There will be learning sessions on food and agriculture, native tree walks within UP Diliman, art workshop (with Kids and Wellness Zones), additional community cooking featuring wild leaves, and tributes to Leonardo Co and Bai Bibyaon.

This event is organized by Good Food Community, Agroecology X, Gulay Na, Lokalpedia, Masipag and Poverty Reduction Through Social Entrepreneurship Coalition in partnership with University of the Philippines – Diliman and the Institute for Social Entrepreneurship in Asia (ISEA).  It is supported by SAMASA, Oxfam Pilipinas, Foundation for a Sustainable Society, Inc. (FSSI), Foundation for the Philippine Environment, Agroecology X, Mga Likha ni Inay, CARD, and CARD MRI Hijos Tours.
