there are many underlying issues to this whole topic of ube but come on.

ube is native to ph soil. filipinos have been cultivating ube long before colonization

ube existing in other places due to globalization and ube having deep cultural significance to filipinos can co-exist

[san 🦊🪨🚀🌌 @_santal]

??? the word “ube” is filipino. just that alone signifies that this ingredient *is* culturally specific to filipinos, whether it’s ube ice cream or other ube dessert, which you can see in every grocery here

it has a more widespread impact than halo-halo, w/c btw has ube in it

still be done if people continue to fight about this not just online but irl?

[san 🦊🪨🚀🌌 @_santal]

We cannot stop ube’s growth in popularity, we can’t exactly gatekeep something that’s been introduced overseas for a while now. In our hyperconnected world thanks to internet, we cannot contain culture within one place.

Sadly, our govt is fucked up. But idk maybe smth could

[san 🦊🪨🚀🌌 @_santal]

Another major takeaway from the ube ice cream issue is that we should promote and support our local food more, so that they survive all the rebranding these yt people do. Put pressure on the govt to support our local farmers and do something to protect ube.

sakit din talaga kapag chronically online ang malaking population ng bansa.

not entirely our fault, we were deprived of third spaces so hinahanap nalang natin online, which is more accessible for us.

pero if we want any sort of change sa mga problema natin we won’t find it here

[san 🦊🪨🚀🌌 @_santal]

while we must not silence ourselves pag tinatapakan tayo dito, we must also direct parts of our anger somewhere outside the internet. may limitation ang pagiging keyboard warrior.

@jerrrrrrryyyyy As for veg homecooked meals, we actually have many depending on our province of origin, but we only serve it for our families. Humble dishes we do not brag about, some don’t even have a name.

Another video where a Filipino chef from Laguna talked about it https://t.co/b69kAumRz0

@jerrrrrrryyyyy My guess is because *some* small businesses want less error margin when it comes to their inventory. Veg goes bad if inventory isn’t sold. You can freeze meat. Easier to sell only fried chicken wings. And fried food can be filling if paired with a hefty serving of white rice.

This is a recurring question even Filipinos ask too. Part of it comes from history.

Malaysia and Indonesia had earlier contact with India since ~100AD, and Hindu-Budshist states around ~700AD. While PH islands traded with them, our Indianized kingdoms come later ~13th Century.

kumbaga anoba obob yang mga yan na dinadaan sa ad hominem attacks para lang ibaba lalo mga pinoy. walang respeto mga yan, you’re talking to a wall. sayang energy sayang tubig sa kanila

i think this whole ube discourse shows that we shouldn’t give a fuck about what these foreigners say about ube. they won’t listen. they’re not eating the real thing anyway.

we should focus our anger on the ph govt which is not doing much to help our farmers and our agriculture.

[san 🦊🪨🚀🌌 @_santal]

ph did not invest in it for it to be a huge industry and other countries got to it first.

it’s a good thing that we are protective of ube, a crop well known in the ph, but maybe we shouldn’t drain our energy towards these people who refuse to understand. let’s pick our battles.
