Kundol Candy 

I spotted several kundols (white gourd, winter melon or petha) in my gate, fences and grills. Hmmm... I will cook them like upo (with ground pork or shrimp) but will let one grow and mature to make kundol candies. Last year, I cooked some preserved sweets in bottles or jars. 

Did you know that hopiang baboy is actually made of kundol candies not diced pork? 

Ingredients
• 2 kg kundol, cut sized-batton fries
• 2 kg sugar
• 2 teaspoons tawas (alum powder)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice or calamansi juice 

Procedure
• Cut ash kundol into half, remove skin and seeds.
• Cut into pieces of desired size  like small potato fries.
• Prick them with a fork or any other pointed thing.
• Place kundol pieces in a large pan
• Pour sufficient water so as to just cover the pieces.
• Add tawas (alum powder) and boil for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, drain and wash thoroughly under running water.
• Combine sugar with one cup of water and heat till sugar dissolves.
• Add lemon juice to remove scum, if any.
• Reduce heat to medium and add boiled kundol.
• Continue cooking till kundol get softened and sugar syrup is of three-thread consistency.
• Remove from heat, remove kundol and keep the pieces separately, so that they do not stick to each other. Roll the candied kundols on white sugar. Tent them and dry out in sun.

DALAMPASIGAN SA PANUBIGAN

Tula ni Jeremiah Chavez Eufemio DALAMPASIGAN SA PANUBIGAN Sa lagaslas ng dalampasigan  Doon ko natagpuan ang kapayapaan Hatid ng hampas ng mga alon At banayad na init ng dapit hapon. Sa mga puting buhangin ng Panubigan Doon ko natagpuan ang karangalan Sa matapat na araw ng pangingisda Nang dumaong ang kanilang bangka sa dalampasigan Salat man sa karangyaan ng modernong pamumuhay Sagana naman sa kasiyahan at kapayapaan Kay gandang pagmasdan, kay sarap balikan Ang dalampasigan sa Panubigan.

Kennedy Jr. details how the NSA was in charge of Operation Warspeed's COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, the history of the United States bioweapons program, and why Anthony Fauci is the highest-paid government official in history: "The weird thing about the pandemic was this constant involvement by the CIA, the intelligence agencies, and the military.

Bakit Nakatungó Ang Uhay Ng Palay

Tula ni Rosario Caristea Aka Rio Ramillo  Bakit Nakatungó Ang Uhay Ng Palay Nakatungo akong hindi nahihiya, Kundi sinisinop ang para sa madla, Sapagkat batid kong sa aking aruga, Laging umaasa ang bawat sikmura. Nakatungo ako sa paáng maugat, Siya at ang ako’y laging nag-uusap, Upang alagaan ang butil ng bigas, Na syang magtatawid sa bitukang humpak. Nakatungo ako sa luwad na tigang, Matapos maiga ang nagpálang linang, Laging sumasamo sa sangkalangitang, Huwag ilalakas ang buhos ng ulan. Nakatungo akong may bagbag na puso, Na nakaririnig ng inyong pagsamo, Aking hinahamak ang pagkakalugso, Nang walang hiningang sa gutom mapugto. Nakatungo ako sa araw at gabi, Kahit dinadagil ng mga tutubi, Sapagkat ang minsang malingat nang kási, Nangangahulugang gútom sa marami. Nakatungo akong kapára ng buntis Na nasa kagampang, bigat tinitiis, Aking binabatá ang gintong pasakit, Nakatungo ako dahil umiibig! ~Rosario Caristea BIGKIS NG PANITIK
