RESTORING THE TRADITIONAL ILIGANON CUISINES
ABSTRACT
The history and evolution of Iliganon cuisine was said to have been shaped by economic, political, climatic, geographic, cultural, historic, religion and ethnic influences. With the growing population dominated by settlers with varying socio-economic profile, the influences that shaped Iliganon cuisine is affected. This however, is the researchers’ motivation to explore the traditional main dishes, desserts and specialties of Iliganon, and examine possible strategies to preserve and introduce this cuisine along with the global ones. This study will have to employ both qualitative and quantitative approach in research. A focus Group Discussion with Key Informants will have to be conducted to determine the cuisines to be subjected in this study. Moreover, a survey measuring the validity of some variables need to be conducted.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Purpose
This study aims to restore the Traditional Iliganon Cuisine. In the course of the study, the researchers seek to answer the following questions:

4. What is the descriptive profile of Iliganon in terms of religion, age, and food preferences?
5. ….you list other research questions that are interesting.
B. Significance
As a researcher who has participated in a number of researcher related to food and cuisines (really? How many?), this is a good study to enhance a better understanding, knowledge, skills and passion in different kinds of food, dishes and culinary procedures in the localized setting.
Cultural understanding among the fellow Iliganon will be aimed in the proposed study. This can motivate the teachers and students in restoring Iliganon Cuisines because they are directly in contact to tourism and hospitality industries. The basic premise of this study is the ability of the tourism and hospitality professionals to influence Iliganon food preferences and patronage through adoption and promotion.
There has been no conclusive study that explores the possibilities in promoting entrepreneurship, stimulating infrastructure investment, generating jobs and increasing our country’s foreign exchange through traditional Iliganon Cuisines. These are significant contributions to sustain the development of Iligan City and the Philippines as whole.

The last century has produced enormous improvements in food production, preservation, storage and shipping.

“Food and Cuisine” are, after all part of a country’s history and cultures and we cannot detract from their social dimension. When it comes to food, people can be categorized into: 1) Those open to new ways and ideas and 2) Those who will always judge food based on what they grew up with their minds closed to any other versions.

===============link this statement to your research questions. You need to analyze the consequences both socio and economic factors. The categories of people you have mentioned is very interesting. At this point, my understanding is the traditional iliganon cuisines existence is determined in the management of these two categories. As such, those open to new ways and ideas will have to be strengthened by regularly bringing back the times of serving the traditional while still introducing the cuisines that are not Iliganons. Those closed to any changes and would not like to try Iliganon cuisines will now become the challenge of the HRM students and teachers to stimulate their interest to such.
In addition to food, Iliganon Cuisine may vary from different dishes like main dishes, desserts and specialties. Two famous specialties are the “Pinakurat” as tapa or kilawin and Chedings Peanut. In desserts, “binaki”, “suman ibus”, “suman balanghoy” are some known desserts in Iligan City.
