In addition to the tasty Philippine dishes, there were also performances of Philippine dances and in the case of the Tinikling, the audience were encouraged to try it out.
The guests expressed its appreciation to the restaurant owners, including the Embassy, for promoting Philippine food in Berne which is still quite unknown to the Swiss palate. END
