In celebration of Teresita ‘Mama Sita’ Reyes’ 100th birth anniversary last May 11, the Mama Sita Foundation turned over Mama Sita commemorative stamps and cookbooks to the San Carlos University Library Resource Center, at the San Carlos University new building at Talamban, Cebu.

The legacy of Mama Sita lives on through the foundation, as it sparks greater interest in Philippine cuisine among the millennials in this age of fast food. From bringing the rich flavors of the Philippine islands to the world, Mama Sita is a true icon in Philippine culinary arts history now, more than ever as she introduces these flavors to the younger generations.
