My SISIG experience

Sisig is a kampampangan term which means "to snack on something sour". The original sisig is made from parts of the pigs head and liver usually seasoned with calamansi and chili peppers.
my tuna sisig experience @ butchers best CDO,.. after i have a great experience @ CDo with a friend mine i cant wait to go back home to create my own version of sisig tuna and other possible ingredients. Now my tuna sisig is one of  main dish that i deliciously created and innovated.
The ORIGIN
The dish is said to have originated from local residents who bought unused pig heads from the commissaries of Clark Air Base in Angeles City Pampanga,  An alternate explanation of its origin is that it is but an innovative variation on an older recipe, which is pork ears and jowl, boiled, chopped then marinated. "Lucia Cunanan" of Angeles City has been credited with inventing sisig, The Philippine Department of Tourism  has acknowledged that her "Aling Lucing's" restaurant had established Angeles City as the "Sisig Capital of the Philippines" in 1974  Cunanan's trademark sisig was developed in mid 1974 when she served a concoction of boiled and chopped pig ears and cheeks seasoned with vinegar, calamansi juice, chopped onions and chicken liver and served in hot plates. 
Today, many varieties of sisig including the tuna as the main ingredient are on the list of sisig history. Pinoy is very innovative specially in foods,trying to create something new , Tuna is one of my favorite among those flavorful sisig, because of its nutritional contents found that needs to our body, and this is now available in some restaurants and "carenderia" (the term used in the phillipines it refers to small restaurant), added with calamansi and other spices in a hot cast iron plate with eggs on top to create sizzle sound when it serves.. That tuna sisig is yummy..

 The motif of black and white gives the abstract of reproduction or presentation of visual image, expressing, recognizing based on the mutually exclusive sets of ideas or values.. the black and white color also gives addition to the beauty and glamour of all students who barely wears their gowns and tuxedos.
 the fine dinning is not purely as how to project their outer beauty, also their confidence, social image, social graces. Their outside beauty reflects on what inner beauty they have... the table appointment is not like or d'same with some of the five star hotel in the country but the set up is nice very simple yet elegant it compliment each part of the event...the event is full of entertainment from modeling to singing participated by the selected students.. surprises be be given also to all outstanding student who get a highest grade of 1.0 and who also receives the certificate of recognition.
