MANILA \u2013 With the second edition of Madrid Fusion Manila set to return to the Philippines this week, the tourism chief has expressed pride in once again being host the biggest gastronomical event in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cMadrid Fusion became the entry point to strengthen the position of the Philippines as a center of modern gastronomy in Asia,\u201d Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Ramon Jimenez said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter allowing the world to discover the Filipino food, this year\u2019s edition will be highlighting how the Philippines has influenced world cuisine through the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The second edition of Madrid Fusi\u1f79n Manila, which will take place from Thursday to Saturday at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City, will highlight the interaction between the east and west in celebration of the 450th anniversary of the Galleon Trade that linked Asia to the Western World.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme \u201cThe Manila Galleon: East meets West\u201d will focus on the influences made by two diverse parts of the world, particularly in the global gourmet scene.<\/p>\n

The aftermath of the Galleon Trade made strides in the worldwide culinary map because of the trade of spices, sweet corn kernels, flame colored chilies, earthy bitter cacao, scarlet atsuete seeds, creamy green flesh of avocado, among others.<\/p>\n

Jimenez, however, emphasized that the success of Madrid Fusion Manila is attributed to all the passionate Filipino and foreign chefs who have shared their culinary talents, stories, and techniques.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhilippine cuisine will share the spotlight with the different cuisines of the world, as foreign celebrity chefs bring the influences of their culture to the table this year at Madrid Fusion Manila,\u201d the DOT chief said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood food has always played a big part in the fun element of our culture and a vital component of Filipino hospitality,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Madrid Fusion Manila is composed of three landmark activities including the International Gastronomy Congress, where Michelin-star chefs from across the globe will share talks about progressive gastronomy and their practices.<\/p>\n

It will also feature a Trade Exhibition, which will showcase the finest food and ingredients from Europe and Asia and Flavors of the Philippines, which is a month-long festival featuring a diverse array of exciting food-related activities from food trips, special restaurant menus, gourmet markets, street food festivals, to special dinners with celebrity chefs, hotel food festivals, fiestas and food exhibits.<\/p>\n

This year the department expects around 1,500 local and foreign delegates joining the Gastronomy Congress, which is slighter higher than the 1,100 delegates who attended the same congress last year.<\/p>\n

Delegates will be coming from 13 countries namely Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Singapore, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom, United State of America, Canada, Mexico and Nigeria.<\/p>\n
