The country got a bit of a diversion last week when a young Polish traveler named Agness Walewinder posted an article provocatively titled “I Would Rather Go Hungry Than Eat Filipino Food Again!” (later edited to specify “Street Food”) on her blog. As is usually the case when someone not of this land makes uncomplimentary remarks about some aspect of Filipino culture, the unfortunate Walewinder was subjected to a storm of criticism from offended locals.
