krip's article

Krip Yuson, in his 04 december 2006 Kripotkin column in the Philippine Star, wrote about the Doreen Gamboa Fernandez Food Writing Awards night, saying i was one "plucky, lucky male" to be the sole male winner.

Krip was a judge along with punong-abala Micky Fenix, author Felice Prudente Sta. Maria, Food magazine editor Norma Chikiamco, writer-editor Maya Besa Roxas who happens to be the late lamented Doreen Fernandez’s niece, Anvil Publishing director Karina Bolasco, chef and Meralco executive Mol Fernando. He ended his article with this: "And, not exactly to bring up the rear, as the only male to be honored with a writing distinction last week, is Romel Oribe of the DTI in Surigao del Sur. He also teaches public administration at a state university, and has been a writing fellow in the Iligan and Dumaguete workshops. His taste memory of his family’s afternoon merienda of cassava pudding with arnibal (syrup topping) inspired him to write about the town’s kakanin maker and her culinary technique.

Mabuhay ka, Romel! Thanks for holding up 1/19th of the sky. But wait till next year, when I submit "Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina Corned Beef (Albeit PureFoods, I Never Left You)."

Does anybody have krip's email add? I wanna thank him.
