Our Filipino rice-farming forefathers believed that there is nothing better to fill the stomach than rice grown and tended by one’s own perseverance. Whether it is simple boiled rice, rice gruel or rice cake it is prepared carefully in appreciation of the farmers hard work. In the province, it is still a sight to see women gathered around a tub of soaked rice telling stories as they wrapped suman. And if the variety of ways a suman is wrapped is any indication, it is of the artistry, skill and ingenuity of these women.
