Be credible to the public. Next-generation leaders would do well if they carefully establish their reputation. Leaders are credible only if they do whatever they are advocating. They lead by example. You should not just ‘talk the talk’ but ‘walk the walk.’ Actions speak louder than words, so back up your promises with actual delivery.

#FilipinaDisrupter
Know history, know self. Knowing and appreciating the depths of my being an Ilongga, my provincial origin, was a necessary step to my growing up. I felt the sense of pride in my family that had nothing do with class or social status. On the contrary it was humble and perennially humbling. Being Ilongga brought me self-confidence. It also made me interested in aspects of history that formed my Filipino-ness.

Chicken Relleno, or stuffed chicken, is exactly that. Relleno comes from the Spanish word "rellenar" which means "to stuff". Chicken Relleno calls for a chicken stuffed with ground pork, Chorizo de Bilbao, cheddar cheese, onions, sweet pickle relish, raisins, celery, garlic, green peas, carrots, eggs, and then baked. Chicken Relleno is often the center of many Filipino Christmas dinners and the recipe below will tell you just how to prepare it as a signature Filipino dish.
Serves 10 - 12
Ingredients
How to debone a chicken:
Wash and pat-dry chicken. WIth a very sharp knife, slit the skin along the back. Carefully separate the skin with the meat from around the backbone and the breastbone. Break off backbone from the wing joint. You have deboned the breast and back of the chicken.
Debone thigh and drumstick by pushing skin and meat away from the bone. Cut off bone about half an inch before the lower end of the drumstick.
Season deboned chicken with salt, pepper, garlic, calamansi juice, and soy sauce mixture. Set aside. Prepare stuffing.
Stuffing Mixture:
Mix all stuffing ingredients except the carrot sticks and hard boiled eggs.
Place deboned, breast side down, on a cutting board. Carefully spread one-half of stuffing mixture evenly inside chicken cavity. Lay carrot sticks and hard boiled egg lengthwise on each half of the chicken. Spread remaining stuffing mixture over egg halves and carrots. Carefully close chicken and shape.
Sew up chicken with needle and thread. Place breast-side up in a baking pan. Carefully pat chicken back into shape. Cover pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake in moderate oven (350F) for approximately 45 minutes. Remove foil cover and continue baking another 45 minutes until done, or until juices run clear from breast area when pierced with a wooden skewer or sharp knife. Baste with melted butter occasionally while roasting.
Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
