August 26, 2016 –Representatives from Grade 10 Fortitude won the first Lutong Pinoy cooking competition held during the culmination of the Buwan ng Wika at the campus quadrangle.
Kyle Supan, Patt Go and Ryan Patalinghug added Bavarian filling to the most popular rice cake in the Philippines: puto.
“Puto was the rice cake my mother prepared every Christmas and other major occasions, so I wanted to share it with others, to show how delicious her recipe is. The Bavarian filling was just a twist,” Supan said.
Their “Bavarian Puto” achieved first place via unanimous decision according to one of the contest’s judges, Ms. Ma. Lorinavi Busa who is also the preschool and grade school department’s guidance counselor.

“Their idea was unique. The rice cake wasn’t too sweet, nor did it lack anything. The taste was just enough for us, for me. They were deserving of the title,” Busa said.
Grade 10 Perseverance followed after. The section’s participants were Christian Alferez, Eloisa Garcia and Lois Laboga who also created a twist to the classic puto by coating the cakes in cacao chocolate sauce.
The makers of the “Chocolate-coated Puto” were also the champions of the previous cooking competition, Nutrichef 2016, conducted during the culminating day of the Nutrition Month.
Third place was given to the participants of Grade 9 Prudence, namely Bea Bacus, Mikhaila Pantoja and Sofia Esgana who crafted the “Budbud Turon,” a sticky rice cake enfolded in lumpia wrapper.
They were also the same contestants who won third place in the Nutrichef 2016 with their Guisadong Manok.
The Lutong Pinoy was organized in celebration of the Buwan ng Wika. Each section of the junior high school department was to select three students who will prepare Kakaning Pilipino that can appease the judges’ tastes.
