One of the best, and most enjoyable ways to learn about a culture is through their food. The tastes, textures, and flavors of a country’s cuisine reflect its rich heritage and history. It also tells their own unique tales about every place, its people, and way of life. Here in the Philippines, we take such pride in our food that other countries recognize us as a culinary hub. Apart from being known as sociable people who love to gather around the table with friends and family, Filipinos also like to share their gastronomical delights online.
As TikTok’s official partner, the Department of Tourism believes in the great potential of the Philippines as a center of gastronomy. Owing to its rich cuisine, it also reflects our history, cultural diversity. Aside from that, it also reflects stories of our destinations, and way of life. Meanwhile, community food mapping or associating food with culture and a specific destination, a more compelling story for travel is created. Especially, with food as an integral part of a traveler’s journey.
Celina Tan, TikTok PH Marketing Manager said,
“On TikTok, hundreds of Filipinos have joined countless other foodie creators from all over the globe, who post about their native cuisine. Our food vertical showcases the history of our food, educating the new generation. And, others outside of the Philippines on how diverse and rich the Philippine culture really is. Because of this, browsing through the variety of food content on the platform can almost seem like a virtual culinary tour.”
According to Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat,
“Food has been cooked using recipes passed down through generations, creating cuisines distinct to each region, and flavors unique to each province. And because food has come to define a particular place, it has called out to visitors seeking to try new dishes and experience different tastes. The art of eating has become a powerful motivator for traveling and we, at the DOT, will make Filipino food an integral part of the traveler’s journey.”
