"A Pat for our Patupat" by mel jovellanos

What is patupat? Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia have similar coconut-leaf-wrapped native delicacies made from sticky rice and wrapped either in banana or coconut leaves. Indonesians wrap the delicacy in carefully-woven packages using selected young coconut leaves (minus the midribs). They call it almost exactly like patupat, but without the first two letters – tupat.  The big difference, however, is that it is cooked in boiling water. When the sticky rice is cooked, it is served with melted panocha or pakasiat.

Mayor Emma Chan still wore the strong whiff and finger smudges not of perfume, but burnt wood ash from the fire that spelled finish to the Gabaldon building of our Pozorrubio Central School memories when she talked to the community (prominent local residents and Balikbayan) who were the judges, event sponsors, donors and spectators of the event of that day, the Street Dancing Competition of the 140th Founding and Town Fiesta. It was after a late 4 o’clock lunch which she was supposed to host but which she was not able to attend to at the 3rd Floor of the Executive Building. She had rushed to the school instead, with former Mayor Art, son Councilor Kelvin, and the Pozorrubio fire truck.
