Broadcast journalist Karen Davila reveals the story of Carmen Tolentino, a former fish vendor who, through skill and patience, created her own special tocino recipe that became well patronized.
The MV Dona Paz tragedy greatly affected the livelihood of the fishing communities in Lipa, Batangas. Thus, Carmen had to settle for hotdogs and tocino to sell. She began her business by producing five kilos of tocino at her own home, then eventually supplied 100 kilos after she started receiving a lot of orders.
