Food turns 15

MANILA, Philippines - An intimate and yet meaningful celebration of Food magazine’s 15th anniversary was held recently at EDSA Shangri-La, Manila as a way of expressing appreciation to the people who have been a part of it all these years.

The gathering attended by ABS-CBN Publishing, Inc. (API) head Ernie Lopez and other executives, friends of Food, editorial team and contributors, served as venue for the publication to acknowledge everyone’s efforts in contributing to its success.

“Food magazine is one of the first food magazines in the market and it really focused on kitchen-tested recipes. It is run by people who really love food and who really cook. It was my father’s (Geny “Kapitan” Lopez Jr.) favorite magazine because he just really loves to eat. You know now there’s a lot of competition in the beginning, but it’s only one that dealt on how to cook. I want to thank the Food magazine team for putting out such a great product. You guys really do good work. Keep it up.” Lopez said.
