“Given the opportunities, women can really help in rising up the economy since we own half of the sky. As it is, the Duterte government is again diverting the issue of the economic and health crisis in promoting a standard adobo recipe,” Gabriela secretary general Joms Salvador said in a statement.
For Gabriela, standardizing a recipe should be “the least of the government’s concerns.”

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 13) As the government seeks to standardize the adobo recipe, Nancy Reyes Lumen - known as the Adobo Queen - expressed her opposition to such move, emphasizing that every Filipino has his or her own way of cooking the well-loved food. Adobo, it s a property, you cannot meddle with someone s property. Everybody owns their own adobo, she told CNN Philippines The Final Word.
Lumen also described the move to standardize the dish as a very rude awakening. The word standardize is so stressful and intimidating. They could have not started with adobo because adobo, it hits at the gut of the Filipino, she said.

Steven Cua believes that coming up with such standards or guidelines would allow costumers in foreign countries, including Filipinos living away from home, to experience the authentic taste of Filipino dishes.
“Countries like Thailand and Vietnam have standardized dishes they wish to duplicate and promote in restaurants all over the world in the hopes that, if a gastro enthusiast partakes of this dish, Filipino adobo for example (as compared to Spanish-style adobo), he will enjoy the same expected level of sourness from said dish,” Cua said.
Adobo is a style of cooking that involves the balancing of acidity (from vinegar) and savory flavors (soy sauce, garlic) together with the preferred protein (usually pork or chicken). It has gained popularity in recent years thanks to the glowing testimonials of local and foreign food vloggers.
