Panlasang Pinoy’s Interview on Adobo Nation

I was fortunate enough to appear on the May 2, 2010 episode of Adobo Nation, The Filipino Channelโ€™s (TFC) top weekly magazine talk program. It all started when I received an email from one of ABS-CBN Internationalโ€™s acclaimed head writer, Mr. Carlos โ€œMouseโ€ Munoz; he wrote to invite me to guest in one of Adobo Nationโ€™s weekly episode. I was reluctant to email back at first because I watch the show from time to time and I know how famous and talented their guests were. Why would one of ABS-CBNโ€™s highly rated shows want me interviewed? To satisfy my curiosity, I emailed back expecting an undelivered email notice (this usually happens if you send an email to a non-existing email address) but I did not. The following day, I received a reply (still with the same abs-cbn.com domain) along with a contact number. I knew that it was the real deal at that point. Not wanting to let one of the rarest opportunity pass-by, I picked-up the phone and dialed the numberโ€ฆthe rest was history.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank ABS-CBN International, the staff and crew of Adobo Nation, and the wonderful host: Michelle Valeriano; last but not the least, my very special thanks to Mr. Carlos โ€œMouseโ€ Munoz, for making this possible.

    Im in Bakersfield CA, I love to cook that’s my passion next to my career .My kids now that they are teenagers always gave people the excuse why they are over weight. 3-4 x a week I would surf the internet for recipe to try on my day off. Your pandesal recipe is the first one I tried and still baking it since day one I baked them. Always bring them to work and shared them to my co-workers which of coarse always a big hit. May God bless you always for sharing your talent to your kababayan.
