[Title] => Barako eh!
[Summary] => We used to hear that phrase when we were much younger, visiting our Nanay (as in Lola) in Tanauan, Batangas. The phrase refers to the provinces legendary machismo, but then also to the legendary Batangas coffee. The first coffee trees were planted in a barrio in Lipa in the mid 1700s. Barako, strong and dark, is the most enduring coffee variety grown in the country. It was for a while threatened with extinction until the crusading Figaro Foundation was formed, with the aim of saving the trees, the number of which had significantly dwindled.

When I teach speechwriting – like I’ll be doing again this semester as part of my course in Professional Writing – I tell my students to avoid using quotations from obscure philosophers, great writers like Shakespeare and even the Bible if it’s highly unlikely that the speaker they’re writing for would have read them in his or her real life and understood what they were saying.

I had lunch early last week with a few friends, one of whom was Arnold Vegafria — better known in showbiz circles as ALV. As a talent manager to some of today’s biggest stars, including David Licauco and Sunshine Cruz, and national director of Mister World Philippines, ALV has his pulse on the country’s entertainment and pageant scene.
