President Marcos has vetoed a proposal declaring Pampanga as the country's culinary capital, saying it may cause discrimination, loss of diversity and regional bias.

- By ALEXIS ROMERO

In a letter to leaders of Congress dated March 12, Marcos said that while Pampanga is celebrated for its diverse and flavorful dishes, traditional cooking methods and a strong culture of food innovation, he could not ignore concerns over the lack of historical basis for the proposal and absence of a thorough study showing performance indicators for such a designation.
