The papercuts of Artist Sinag de Leon-Amado

Sinag de Leon contemporizes art of paper cutting
By Elizabeth Lolarga, Vera Files
For Yahoo! Southeast Asia
As a child growing up in Marikina, Sinag de Leon thrived in an environment strewn with samples of Philipine folk arts and crafts, her parents being avid aficionados and lecturers on the subject.
She picked up a volume of Childcraft and followed the instructions on how to cut out and form a snowflake out of paper. Snow being alien to her sensibility, she wondered how the intricate designs on pastillas de leche wrappers from Bulacan could be duplicated in her new-found medium.
A vanishing craft in that province, paper cutting has been given a contemporary twist in the series of solo exhibits de Leon has had this year. Her latest solo show “Aninag” at the San Beda Museum in the college campus on Don Manolo Ave., Alabang Hills, Muntinlupa City runs until Oct. 30 with her second free paper cut workshop there on Oct. 23.

Increweld, the World's Smallest Welding Machine
9:58 PM |
INCREWELD is the ORIGINAL World's Smallest Welding Machine. The machine was invented by Frank M. Andrade and manufactured by Andravel Incorporated under Patent no 1-200-02181 granted by the Philippine Patent Office in April 28, 2004.
The advantage of the INCREWELD aside from being conveniently small and lightweight (1.6kgs) is its 100% duty cycle. Meaning no overheat at prolonged and continuous operation. Quality of welding is superior because of its capability to perform continuous full weld fusion.
Moreover INCREWELD consumes 30% less electricity as current runs through the system during actual welding only.
The INCREWELD has 2 years warranty and it is expected to last a lifetime as it does not overheat and no mechanical moving parts are present for wear and tear. The first unit assembled in 2003 still runs up to this time being used for demos.

Tapuy
7:08 PM | |
| Tapuy |
Tapuy is a Filipino rice wine originated in Batad (a place in the Banaue Rice Terraces), Ifugao, Philippines. This native wine from fermented rice is also produced in the Cordillera Province; particularly in Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga, and Mountain Province. Other names for tapuy in these parts are: tapey or bayah .
The native brew is prepared locally and produced from fermented rice. There are 2 main ingredients: glutinous rice and bubod (starter culture).
The tapuy rice wine is considered as the ceremonial wine served during special occasions (such as weddings) and large celebrations like a bountiful harvest festival. Since the natives can produce tapuy rice wine inside their homes, the local wine is also imbibed by the locals on a daily basis.

Tinubong
8:01 PM |
Tinubong, as a delicacy, derives its name from its container, an internode of buho (bulo in Ilocano) with the node at one end, which is called tubong in Ilocano.
With the other end of the tubong open, a wet mixture of glutinous flour, sugar, coconut milk, small strips of young coconut flesh, cheese and margarine is inserted into the tube. Others also used ground peanuts and raisins.
In the good old days, the tinubong was cooked over charcoal embers until the tubong changed its color from green to a slightly scorched black. Nowadays, however, large-scale tinubong makers use the kind of ovens found in bakeries.
