If there’s one distinguishing feature about the Pinoy, it’s that they love a challenge. We have epic tales of Lam-Ang conquering various tasks and earning his place in the mythic pantheon of Filipino heroes. We sought our independence from Spain, from America and other countries that sought to subjugate us. In the 20th century we distinguished ourselves with EDSA 1 or the first People Power Revolution. After years of preparation, not only did we have an all-Filipino team conquering Mt. Everest  but an all-Pinay team as well after a few years! These real-life victories have been underscored with a sense of joy, achievement and pride.

We also have other characteristics that define us as a nation: the achievements of our inventors and artists.  Through their creativity, originality, inventiveness, ingenuity, and innovativeness, they contributed in giving the country a sense of pride. Mr. Ramon del Rosario is the man we thank for the "karaoke”. Lea Salonga defined the title role of Miss Saigon on the West End and Broadway. Rafe Totengco conquered the hearts of fashionistas all over the world with his accessories, while Brillante Mendoza triumphed in Cannes for “Kinatay.”

And when it comes to putting our country in the record books, imagination and resourcefulness is what our culinary geniuses brought honor to our country and another Guiness World Record: crafting over 5,000 (yes, that's more than FIVE THOUSAND) dishes using cheese, besting the previous Guinness world record of 4,668 set by India. This is made known to the world on the first week of March 2010.

Last December 14, 2009, cooking enthusiasts, culinary students, kusineros, chefs and foodies were gathered together for one battle royale featuring cheese, with Kraft Eden products demonstrating their versatility in various dishes, from the savory to the sweet. They created, invented and innovated more than 5,000 unique dishes using Kraft Eden cheese. at Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend this breakthrough event because I got terribly sick of unceasing fever and cough.
