Where is the Patis is an essay by Carmen Guerrero Nakpil, a Filipino journalist and
writer. It is about the Filipino’s longing for their native cuisine when they travel
abroad. The essay humorously describes how the Filipino palate is not satisfied by the
foreign dishes and how they crave for patis, a fish sauce that is a staple condiment in the
Philippines12. The essay was published in Nakpil’s book Woman Enough and Other
Essays in 19633.

The essay is about a Filipino who goes abroad. As days go by, he is slowly adapting to
the culture of foreigners and he is glad about it. When sat down for a meal, he feels
something that’s not making him contented. Even if a delicious looking food  was served
to him, he doesn’t feel like eating it. One thing’s for sure, he misses the Filipino cuisine.
No matter how hard he tried to turn his back to his country, there is still nothing like our
own food and it surely made him miss the Philippines more.

Overview
An essay on the great dream of a Filipino his
desire, yearning and craving for a Filipino dish
when he became a tourist on another
country. Part I will talk on the summary of the
essay. Then, part II will discuss on the critical
analysis of the essay as to unity, coherence
and emphasis.
Part I (Summary of the Essay)
The first paragraph talks about the great
Filipino dream and that is to travel abroad
and become a tourist. Next,
the second paragraph supports the first
paragraph as to the desire of the Filipinos to
visit cities in Asia or even have a glimpse on
the European and American countries and
taste all of their delights.
one can deny the fact that in one way or the
other the Filipino will miss the Filipino
ambiance and spirit.
All in all, the first, second and third
paragraphs are considered as the
introduction of the whole essay.
Furthermore, the fourth paragraph signals
the beginning of the body of the essay. It
talks about the change in culture and the art
of adapting it. Consequently,
the fifth paragraph supports the fourth
paragraph as it describes the changes on the
attitudes of Filipino when he is in another
country.
Then, the sixth paragraph shows the things
that Filipino misses, especially the Filipino
dishes.

The third paragraph describes the thrill and Then and there, the seventh,

excitement of a Filipino when he leaves the eighth and ninth paragraphs describes the
country and visit another one. But still, no description of the food and the happenings in
the expensive restaurant in Europe. There the
Filipino is yearning for a mound white rice, a
bowl of sinigang na bangus, but he doesn’t
have the choice but instead applies himself
with the foreign delicacies. Subsequently, the
Filipino ordered the specialty of the house,
but he found out that those soup were used
by Filipinos when they are convalescing from
“tifus” or “trancazo”.These paragraphs
describes the beginning and in-depth
yearning, hankering and craving of Filipino
dishes. Moreover, he compares it with the
European dishes.
Additionally,
the tenth and eleventh paragraphs discusses
on the similarities/differences of the
European and Filipino cuisine.
Accordingly, the twelfth paragraph talks
about the absence of rice in the said
restaurant but only foods which are rich in
carbohydrates.
Hence, the thirteenth paragraph emphasizes
that rice is considered as vegetable in Europe
and America.
The fourteenth paragraph shows that there is
special food/rice which is available and is
usually described as a large, oval, foreign
looking, and yellow with butter.
The fifteenth and sixteenth paragraphs gives
us still the clearer view of the yearning,
longing and craving of the Filipino dish. Thus,
he searched a strange city wherein he found
out a Chinese restaurant –considered as the
closest taste to the Filipino dishes. These
paragraphs highlight the continuous yearning
of Filipino food, but still to his heart nothing
can compares to the Filipino dishes.
Successively, the seventeenth paragraph
describes still on the great desire of the
Filipino for a Filipino Kitchen and thus, search
any part of the country because of his
desperate need for a meal.
Uninterruptedly, the eighteenth paragraph
reveals the answers for his craving, the time
when the Filipino finally found the treasure-
house (food).
Thus, the third to eighteenth paragraph
comprises the body of the essay.
Lastly, nineteenth paragraph describes the
conclusion of the essay which states that the
Filipino may denationalized himself but not
his stomach. It simply means that wherever
he may go, he will still long for the Filipino
dishes. Likewise, he may ignore the Filipino
culture, but the his stomach will long for a
meal he can’t do anything to avoid it but will
make a desperate move to look and find for it
the so-called ——-Filipino cuisine.
Part II (Critical Analysis)
A good paragraph has the characteristics of
unity, coherence and emphasis. My task is to
examine, evaluate and dissect each
paragraph whether the said essay achieved
the three characteristics.
To start with, let me examine the first
characteristic which is unity in a paragraph.
The nineteen (19) paragraphs are unified on
its structure. Along with, all the
sentences/details within the paragraph
focused on only one topic sentence which
clearly talks about the great Filipino dream
and that is to travel to nearby Asian,
American and European Countries and taste
all of their delights. Furthermore, I could say
that there are no inclusion of the second
central idea and no inclusion of one or more
sentences containing details that are not
really related to the paragraph’s main idea.
Additionally, there is one central idea that is
established within the paragraph that
resulted to the continuity of sentences in
each paragraph of the essay. It is evident on
the details presented by the author in each
paragraph. The first and second paragraphs
describe the introduction of the essay. Next,
the body of the essay begins with the third
and ends with the eighteenth paragraph that
shows the change of culture and the sense of
adapting to it. Another, it describes the food
that a Filipino misses when he is not in the
country but he has no choice but to adapt
and eat the European cuisine. But no matter
what kind of specialties being offered and
delivered to a Filipino his stomach will always
craved for a Filipino dish. He may forget
about his country but he will never forget the
cuisine in that country and that describes the
conclusion of the essay as stated on the
ninetieth paragraph. With this, the
introduction, body and conclusion of the
essay is united in its structure and details.
Then, I looked into the second characteristic
of good paragraph which is coherence. I
could say that there is continuity between as
well as within the paragraph that uses several
logical orders such as inductive and
chronological orders. Talking about inductive
orders, it is done by starting the statement
with more particular detail going to and
supporting the general statement. In the
essay, the author give the details first on the
overview of the great dream of the Filipino in
the first to third paragraph. Next, the
comparison of the European and Filipino
cuisine from seventh to eighteenth
paragraph. While, the last paragraph is also
linked with the introduction of the dream of
the Filipino to his cravings. Again, coherence
is achieved because the author also narrates
the events or proceedings on the life of the
Filipino in a chronological manner by
enumerating the different Filipino dishes that
has a trademark on hearts of the Filipino and
being compared to the dishes on the
American and European cuisine from sixth to
eighteenth paragraph. Thus, the author was
able to link and arrange the events in
sequential order. Moreover, it uses some
special devices called transitional devices
such as transitional keywords, reference of
pronoun, repetition of keywords, and the use
of parallel structure. It is evident on the
words being used on the essay such as words
that shows time, location comparison and
differences. All in all, the essay has achieved
coherence.
Finally, the last characteristic is emphasis. It is
the principle in which important ideas are
made to stand. Additionally, the essay uses
devices such as emphasis by proportion,
pause and position. The introductory part
from the first to third paragraphs where
given less substance while from the fourth to
sixteenth paragraph which enumerated the
different Filipino dishes that he misses and
the similarities as well as its differences to the
European cuisine. Moreover, the author also
make use of nineteen (19) paragraphs in
order to establish her ideas. Lastly, there is
emphasis since the first to third paragraphs
(great Filipino dream), the introductory part
of the essay is very much connected to the
nineteenth paragraph which is the conclusion
(wherever a Filipino may go, he will always
love his country through his stomach).
Therefore, the essay by Carmen Guerrero-
Nakpil based from my analysis has a good
paragraph because unity, coherence and
emphasis is achieved.
 Summary
       Travel has become the great Filipino
dream,in the the same way an American
dreams of becoming a millionaire or an
English boy dreams of going to one the great
universities,the Filipino dreams of going
abroad.his most constant vision is that of
himself as tourist. To visit Hongkong,Tokyo
and other cities of Asia, perchance, to catch a
glimpse of Rome, Paris or London and to go
American is the sum of all delights. Yet having
left the manila international airport in a pink
cloud of despedidas and sampaguita garlands
and pabilin, dream turns into a nightmare very
quickly. But why? Because the first bastion of
the Filipino spirit is the palate. And in all the
palaces and flehspots and skyscrappers of
the magic world called "abroad" there is no
patis to be had. Consider the Pinoy abroad.
He has discarded barong tagalog or "polo" for
a sleek , dark Western suit. He gives himself
the airs of a cosmopolite to the credit -card
born. He is extravagantly courteous and has
taken to hand-kissing and to plenty of
american "D'you minds?". He hardly misses
the heat, the native accents of tagalog or
ilongo or the company of his brown-skinned
cheerful compatriots. But as he sits down to
meal, no matter how sumptuous,his heart
sinks. His stomach juices,he discovers,are
much less neither as apahap nor lapu-lapu.
Tournedos is meat done in a barbarian way,
thick and barely cooked with red juices still
oozing out. The safest choice is a steak. If the
Pinoy can get it well done enough and sliced
thinly enough, it might remind him tapa. If the
waiter only knew enough about Phillippine
cuisine, he might suggest venison which is
really something like tapang usa, or escargots
which the unstylish poor on Phillippine
beaches know as snails. The Pinoy learns
that rice is considered a vegetable in Europe
and america.The staff of life a vegetable! After
a few days of these debacles,the Pinoy,stick
with longing decides to comb the strange city
for a Chinese restaurant,the closest thing to
the beloved gastronomic country. There,in the
company of other Asian exiles, he will put his
nose finally in a bowl of rice and find it more
fragrant than an English rose garden, more
exciting than a castle on the Rhine and more
delicious than pink champagne.To go with the
rice there is siopao ,pancit guisado reeking
with garlic, fried lumpia with the incorrect
sauce,and even mami.Better than a Chinese
restaurant is the kitchen of a
kababayan.When in a foreign city,a Pinoy
searches every busy sidewalk,
theatre,restaurant for well-remembered
golden features of a fellow-pinoy.But make it
no mistake.

Reflection
  Every single part of our country should not
be missed, that's why many tourist visited our
country and make a glimpse of our beautiful
places ,but when we say Filipinos going
somewhere abroad we can greatly say Wow!
with a sparkling eyes for we thought that its so
nice to be there.As we consider that thing we
could really say that in abroad there are lot of
opportunities.

M
   any of our Filipino brothers and sisters
abroad really could say that every good things
in our country could really make their eyes cry
for they miss it so much,all the vian and every
cultured food is like a paradise.Yes, abroad is
good but there's no such beautiful and like
paradise in our own home.
