If there’s a singular drink that the Ilocanos cannot do without in their long history as a people, it is basi, a sugarcane-based wine infused with a tree bark called samak. It is as equally indispensable as sukang iloko, also infused with samak.

When I had my very own lair where I could run amuck, tumbling over the baskets, hiding under the colorful, geometric patterned weavings, and tinkering with the wood and brass thingamajigs my parents purveyed at their now-defunct Lahi Crafts bric-a-brac shop on 1418 A. Mabini St. in Ermita.

                    [Summary] => The new-age guru of the ’70s, Alan Watts, said that the most comfortable men’s garment in the world was the Philippine salwal. He was referring to a very loose pair of pants, gathered around the waist. It is cut so generously that when you wear it, you look like you are wearing a skirt. I think Watts’ criteria involved the fact that salwals were free-flowing as well as roomy and yet one could still chase a bus while wearing them.
