LATO (Caulerpa lentillifera)

Caulerpa lentillifera is one of the favored species of edible Caulerpa due to its soft and succulent texture. They are also known as sea grapes or green caviar. C. lentillifera is farmed in the Philippines, where it is locally called ar-arosep,lato,arosep or ar-arosip (as variant names), latok in the Malaysian state of Sabah, and in Okinawa where the plant is eaten fresh.

The pond cultivation of C. lentillifera has been very successful on Mactan Island, Cebu, in the central Philippines, with markets in Cebu and Manila. About 400 ha of ponds are under cultivation, producing 12-15 tonnes of fresh seaweed per hectare per year. C. lentillifera is also eaten in Okinawa, where it is known as umi-budō (海ぶどう?), meaning "sea grapes".

C. lentillifera is usually eaten raw with vinegar, as a snack or in a salad. In the Philippines, after being washed in clean water, it is usually eaten raw as a salad, mixed with chopped raw onions and fresh tomatoes, and dressed with a blend of fish sauce or fish paste (locally called bagoong) and vinegar. It is known to be rich in iodine.

Araw ng Surigao del Sur!

The Araw ng Surigao del Sur was celebrated last June 17-19, 2014..A three-day celebration of oneness as a province! The event was filled with fun (with the daily activities) and friendship (a gathering of people from different municipality). Different contest (like booth making, Balot eating, magbayo, etc.) were conducted together with the showcasing of different products from every municipality. Being present within 3-days of the event for sure it was a lot of fun... Sad to say that I only had 30 minutes being in the event of Araw ng Surigao del Sur, due to some activity that I attended where the venue was more than 30 kms. away from Tandag City.....All this photos were captured within that 30 min. i had....it was just a drop by but it was truly fun....CAPTURING ONE OF THE IMPORTANT COMPOSITION OF THE EVENT....ITS "PEOPLE"!
