Elevate your pastil experience! 


Pastil, also known as pastel, is a Filipino packed rice dish made of steamed rice wrapped in banana leaves and topped with dry shredded beef, chicken, or fish. It comes from the Maguindanao people and is a popular, low-cost breakfast dish in Mindanao, particularly among Muslim Filipinos.


Pastil stalls and eatery can be seen a lot in different parts of General Santos City. Even in schools, it is offered. It is impossible to know someone who hasn't tried pastil yet, as it is considered as a food that is easy to find and affordable with all the side dishes. You can't just get tired of eating it. 


Even if the pastil food originally came from the Maguindanao people, there are also non-muslim who sells pastil. And not only Muslim people who consume the pastil even the non-muslim people loves to eat pastil. 


When the pandemic came, almost all of the pastil stall seen in the street were closed. A lot of students missed eating pastil in their school. It just hits different to eat pastil after a long tiring day. The experience is different and it is hard to just forget about it. 


The good thing is...

Learnings Behind Success

  How do you define success?    Does having luxurious and expensive jewellery means success? Or living in a mansion and eating more than three times a day means success? Do you think you're successful?      The second featured story in People of General Santos uncovers the lessons behind sir Jerome Atayoc's success. Tatay Jerome is a 62-year-old ice cream vendor that has been selling for 34 years in General Santos City. Tatay Jerome is not different from all of us, he also has been dramatically affected by the pandemic. Tatay Jerome's business requires him to be in public places, which puts him in a greater sense of danger; hence, tatay Jerome is already in his senior citizen years. But a question that always comes to our mind is that, why does tatay Jerome still do it? His wife has her job, his children have their family and can provide for their own needs. The answer is that tatay Jerome continues to practice and ponder the lessons he has learned for over...

Zamboanga's Best

 In 2013, the city of Zamboanga went on a war between military troops and rebel fighters. Over a thousand locals were hurt and displaced. Homes were destroyed by fire. Schools and businesses were shut down. But despite the chaotic situation, the people of Zamboanga were able to stand up and bounce back. They were able to maintain the colorful land, culture, tradition, and food. One of the unique delicacies in Zamboanga is the knickerbocker. The knickerbocker is a localised version of the famous Filipino dessert – halo-halo. But the difference is, it is made of fresh fruits, and it is healthier. It mixes chunks of banana, mango, apple, watermelon, gelatin, milk with vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream on top.  by: Fatsen Amano Luckily Natebby's KnickerBocker finds a way to serve this comfort food to Henerals!
