PINIPI A SINANTA
by Duoi Ampilan 


We call it #Pinipi among the Maguindanaon people in the Bangsamoro. It is #Pinipig in Filipino 🇵🇭. It is made from young rice flakes. 

There are many ways to produce it but with our featured Pinipi, this is how our folks do it in the villages of Maguindanao.

The young rice is harvested while the grains (Palay) are still green. It is fried (dry, no oil) in a #Kala (frying pan). The fried palay is then pounded using the traditional #Lesung and #Lendu (large wooden mortar and pestel) to separate the grains from the chaffs. 

The best Pinipi is from the #Pulot (glutinous or sticky rice) because of its both aroma and taste.

We love the way our folks prepare it traditionally in the village. The Pinipi is mixed with #Pëti (p'ti) or fresh coconut milk with brown sugar and we call that process as #Sinantan. Nowadays, some do use condensed milk. However, the fresh coconut milk is healthier and even tastier.

Pinipi brings back our childhood memories from the village. We used it as a snack food.

Nowadays, Pinipi is used in restaurants, bakaries and by food manufacturers as toppings to some of their sweet delicacies including ice cream.

The colour of the Pinipi depends much on rice varieties.

📌 ADDITIONAL TRIVIA

◾#Langgaman - the traditional hand-held harvester or bladed knife for harvesting Palay with wooden handle.

◾#Kumpay - it is also a hand-held harvester but longer and bigger traditional sickle tool. It is karet or karit in Tagalog.

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.

UNSWERVING SERVICE TO HUMANITY

15 August 2024 THANK YOU FOR THE LEARNING, LESSONS & MEMORIES By Duoi Ampilan  Since 01 August 2024, I officially ended my deployment in Ukraine. Though short (4 months), my deployment was among the toughest, most challenging and most difficult. The last 45 days were among the things I would never wish for. Ukraine was my 14th country of deployment and the 24th country I traveled to.  After all the twists, turns, trials, tensions and torments, I am feeling tired.  Being a Humanitarian Worker is said to be among the Most Dangerous Jobs because of the associated risks and uncertainties aside from the daily stress & tensions. Where there are calamities and crises from disease outbreaks to earthquakes, displacements to war and devastation, humanitarian workers are there. We offer our services, our time, talents and for some our lives!  We also have the fair share of the things that make us love our work - the opportunities of reaching many places of historical im...
