@featrmedia: At his family home in San Vicente, Ilocos Sur, Dr. Abercio Rotor continues to make basi using old earthenware jars, while experimenting with wines made from local fruits and documenting what he learns for others. 🍷 For the scientist, professor, writer, and naturalist, preserving tradition doesn't mean leaving these traditions in the past. It's about continuing to practice, experiment, learn, and share. 🧡 Meet Dr. Rotor and discover his philosophy on food, self-sufficiency, and practical living in our latest Ilocos episode. 🤓 Watch the full story on YouTube. #featrmedia #ilocos #basi #aberciorotor

"We are under a system, where 10-15% of the population control the 90%. And yet we say, we are happy, we are progressive. MAYBE WE HAVE TO THINK DEEPER. WE HAVE TO THINK SIMPLER, AND THE YOUNGER GENERATION MUST LEARN MORE ABOUT LIFE."
Thank you for sharing your wisdom Dr. Abercio Rotor!😊 What an eye opener, indeed!

Basi isn't just vinegar or suka. it is actually a liquor made of sugar cane originated in PIDDIG ILOCOS NORTE. That's why they celebrate Basi Revolt because when the Spanish colonized our country the Philippines they find that basi is a good class of alcohol and they try to steal it from the locals. Some of the barangays of Piddig are named because of the revolution. one is ab-abut where they dig holes in the ground to hide the basi. the other is suqsuquen means they hide the basi in a pile of dried grass. every professor,historian or even doctor in education should know that. some of the locals travel to preserve the basi and they was ambush in San Vicente Ilocos Sur and the revolution between Piddigenueos and Spanish fight there and that's when the time that the basi is named as their own. that's the FACT!! BEFORE POSTING FACT CHECK FIRST..

Because we are in a world where "imported" and "made in" gives an impression na sosyal and mas maganda or matibay kaysa locally produced. Capitalism indeed has successfully managed na itanim ito sa utak ng Pinoy. Bakit bibili ng Philippine brand na meatloaf kung mas sosyal nlang "made in the US" kind of mentality.

The Philippines already has abundant, sustainable, and nutritious resources, but consumerism and the idea that branded or expensive products are better have made us overlook the simple, local food available in our own backyards and palengke. Dr. Rotor’s wisdom reminds us to value what we already have and pass that wisdom to future generations.

certainly agree. the younger generations needs to know more about life not how to depend on AI for everything. They must be taught how to plant food for survival and it should be included on school curriculum. learn the basic.
