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.

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.
