00:00President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. vetoes the bill to declare Pampanga the culinary capital of the Philippines,
00:05saying that the country should focus on promoting the diverse culinary traditions from all regions.
00:10In his message, the president thanked both houses of Congress for the
00:14quote, noble intention of the bill to recognize Pampanga's rich and dynamic culinary heritage.
00:19However, he also cites several reasons for rejecting the bill,
00:22including concerns about its historical basis,
00:25the lack of studies, and key performance indicators supporting the designation.
00:29He also warns that the declaration could offend sensibilities in other provinces
00:33that are equally proud of their culinary traditions.
