Davao City Mayor and Presidential aspirant Rodrigo Duterte INQUIRER\/ MARIANNE BERMUDEZ<\/p><\/div>\n

A BAKERY on Judge Jimenez Street in Quezon City has come up with a novel way of measuring the popularity of each presidential candidate by encouraging its patrons to buy the pan de sal named after them.<\/p>\n\n

There is the Pan de Duterte\u2014a spicy burger served in a pugon-baked bun\u2014which comes with hot chocolate from Davao, where Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte hails from.<\/p>\n\n

Pan de Poe, on the other hand, is a corned beef pan de sal sandwich, corned beef being a staple of American culture, said writer and entrepreneur Wilson Lee Flores, owner of Kamuning Bakery Cafe, referring to Sen. Grace Poe\u2019s former status as an American citizen. Each Pan de Poe\u00a0 comes with a cup of Kape Mocha.<\/p>\n\n

On the other hand, the Pan de Binay, for Vice President Jejomar Binay, is all-Filipino: a longganisa pan de sal sandwich served with brewed coffee.<\/p>\n\n

Healthy eaters\u2019 choice <\/strong><\/p>\n

For healthier options, there is the Pan de Miriam of Sen. Miriam Santiago. It is a tuna pan de sal sandwich paired with Kape Latte, while the Pan de Roxas, for former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, is a chicken pan de sal sandwich served with Kape Americano.<\/p>\n\n

Flores, who hosts the regular \u201cPandesal Forum\u201d at the bakery, said the gimmick was not just aimed at boosting sales.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our way of conducting an informal survey on who is the most popular candidate. We also want to encourage people to discuss the elections and for them to vote,\u201d he said in a recent interview.<\/p>\n\n

The sandwiches cost around P150 to P165 each.<\/p>\n\n

Name game <\/strong><\/p>\n

Flores, citing the stories of his staff, noted that customers tend to choose their bread, not by its filling but by the name of the candidate it represents.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThey would be surprised to find out that the Pan de Duterte would be a burger pan de sal, or the Pan de Roxas is a chicken pan de sal. Some choose based on the name of the candidate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

Flores noted that politics was a popular topic across all social classes and he wanted more people to engage in discussions on the candidates and their platform.<\/p>\n\n

Customers can buy their favorite pan de sal as many times as they want. Each sandwich means a vote for their preferred candidate.<\/p>\n\n

Although the \u201cvoting\u201d began last week, Flores noted that sales have gone up by around 30 percent in the past days.<\/p>\n\n

The question, of course, is who is leading in the so-called \u201cPresidential Pan de sal Survey?\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Flores himself was surprised that the \u201ctopnotcher\u201d so far was the Pan de Duterte, which had 18 votes, followed by the Pan de Binay with 11 votes.<\/p>\n\n

The Pan de Poe came in third at 10 votes, while the Pan de Roxas had six votes. The Pan de Miriam was last at four votes.<\/p>\n

Neutral choice<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bakery also offers an alternative for customers who cannot decide on which candidate they want to \u201cvote\u201d for\u2014<\/p>\n

there is the Pan de Nada, a ham and egg pan de sal sandwich paired with brewed coffee.<\/p>\n\n

So far, four customers have opted to stay neutral, ordering the Pan de Nada.<\/p>\n\n

Flores added that while Philippine elections tend to be noisy, heated and at times dirty and violent, this does not always have to be the case.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI think we want to remind Filipinos, especially our politicians, to have a good sense of humor while focusing on issues in this democratic exercise,\u201d he said with a laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
