She has never seen Filipino food as something to be catalogued or kept behind glass. It belongs where it always has—in family kitchens, around crowded tables, at neighborhood gatherings, and in the routines that naturally hold everyday life together. Over the years, she has returned to the same belief: If you want to understand Filipinos, pay attention to the meals they prepare, the tables they gather around, and the memories those meals carry. “I believe that people of this generation should know our roots, where we come from, who we are, through what we eat,” Aspiras observes.

WOFEX Manila 2026 may have ended but our work doesn't end there. From 2022, WOFEX began to connect farmer organizations with its network of end-users from different market segments.
