MANILA, Philippines — As Marco Polo Ortigas Manila preserves local food culture and traditions partners, it partners with Slow Food Philippines to link good food with local communities. In “Locally Green: Reviving Traditions, Rediscovering Good Food,” the hotel’s world-class chefs collaborates with Slow Food Philippines’ farmers, fisher folks, artisans, chefs and producers who harvest indigenous and/or endangered ingredients from all over the country. Released < >“We believe in Slow Food’s thrust of preventing the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract fast food, and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, and how their food choices affect the world,” says Stuart Stancombe, director of Restaurants, Bars and Events. We are grateful for Marco Polo Ortigas Manila’s support in our advocacy,” shares Paula Aberasturi, president of Slow Food Philippines. “Locally Green: Reviving Traditions, Rediscovering Good Food” is a new and ingenious way to learn about mindful consumption because food choices affect not just the members of the family but also the community and country as well.
