Editorial: Pantry of conundrums

April 25, 2021

THERE seems to be a need to update the Wikipedia entry on “pantry” after the Philippines pioneered its revolutionary version of the “community pantry.”

Since the medieval age, pantries in Europe and America stored food, drink and other valuables like the family’s silverware. Wealthy families hired their own pantler, who ran a well-stocked pantry, a gauge of status.

In contemporary times, the pantry has been replaced by the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets and shelves for storage. Conscious of a family’s needs and resources, a housewife or husband still keeps the stocks of food and drink, if no longer under ...

Are our police criminal investigators really well trained? Most of our policemen now under the law creating the Philippine National Police (PNP) are graduates of a four-year course and most of them are even Criminology graduates. Most ...
