This March, in celebration of Women’s Month, I will be featured in a men’s magazine known for its racy and sexy photos. So before the issue will come out, and before someone thinks that I have given up my law practice for a more salacious career let me tell you this in advance.

I am one of the women whose pictures appear in FHM’s tenth anniversary edition. Comparatively speaking I have more clothes on than most of the women in it, so before the naysayers start speculating, I’m stating it now, for the record, that it is so because the nature of my profession is more conservative than that of the average FHM model. Or so I’d like to think. Haha.

So why did I pose?

There are multiple answers for this one:

a. I didn’t pose for a men’s magazine, these are all hidden camera pictures!!!
b. Someone told me I COULDN’T do it.
c. Its in my bucket list and I couldn’t wait until I was sixty five, so…
d. The guys need a good laugh, its election season and all the jokes are running for office. Why not one in FHM, di ba?
e. The women’s magazines were all taken.
f. All of the above in varying degrees of truthfulness.

So I’m not an entertainment personality looking to revive my career by going racy, my career is doing fine, thank you very much. And I’m not a struggling actress/singer/host/whatever looking to make a name for myself, the only struggle I’m concerned about is the armed one, and I’m totally against it. But I do like to stand up for certain things. The same way those really good-looking actresses or models pose in lettuce leaves for animal rights, I’m doing the same for other causes, like unjust detention and the oppression of political activists. Minus the “really good looking” part.

For any more information, I guess you have to get the magazine.

Philippine culinary experience is so rich and varied and ever changing. Many of our traditional dishes are still staples of the lunch or dinner table, but many are fast disappearing or changing to the point of unrecognizability. My mother used to sniff at the toyo slathered dishes saying that that is NOT adobo. Thus this blog welcomes contributors to the country’s edible culture. Interviews with the older generations, dishes prepared as family staples, food experiences, practises, spells and superstitions… even food allergies.

Everything is culture. But food and law describe us best. Since there are way too many lawyers already (including myself) food seems to be the best means for national self-discovery. Kain tayo? “
