Who saves the day on a hot afternoon? Your neighborhood sorbetero! In the early 1900s sorbeteros once carried sorbetes balanced on carrying poles*, similar to that of taho today. Around the same time some of the first ice cream shops were being opened by Americans in Manila. It was also around this time that the term “dirty ice cream” was referred to sorbetes, likely by Americans visiting and escaping the heat. Today we continue to enjoy sorbetes, pushed around in colorful, often personalized wooden carts similar to the creativity painted on many jeepneys. Grab a scoop (or sandwich) of sorbetes and say hello to your local superhero sorbetero! https://filipinofood.art/portfolio/sorbetes/ *From Ambeth Ocampo’s “Dirty Ice Cream: Looking back 14.

I just find this scene so funny because after Will said,

Hannibal's face was like, "Oh. Didn't know we have a date."

Bet you he was giggling inside and everything.

sorbetes sunday

on the same sunday, after a quick trip to the 1920’s, me and my friends were then transported to the 1800’s — on the grounds of molo church, that is.

the church stands tall in all its glory and grace across the molo mansion which i have mentioned in my previous post. it is also known as the saint anne’s church, gothic church, and all women’s church. saint anne church because she is the patron saint of the district of molo, gothic church because of its gothic-renaissance elements in its structure, and all women’s church because all the saint statues inside are women. so cool, right?

it was built on 1831 under fray pablo montaño and finally completed on 1888 by fray agapito buenaflor under the supervision of don jose manuel lacson. one tower was destroyed during the world war ii but was repaired later on. come the year of 1992, it was declared as a national landmark by the national historical institute. it is the only gothic church outside metro manila.

on that sunny sunday, we visited it and chanced upon a sorbetero outside. to anyone who does not know, a sorbetero is street vendor who sells sorbetes (traditional ice cream). this is very common in the philippines. sorbetes is most commonly called the “dirty ice cream” because, well, it is sold in the streets. it is peddled in colorful wooden pushcarts by the sorbeteros and comes in bright happy colors — violet, yellow, green and many more in sugar cones. now that looks like a really happy treat, isn’t it? enough to cool one’s self under the heat of the yellow sun. oh, it reminds me so much of my childhood when i’d rush as a bee to a flower each time i hear mamang sorbetero’s bell ringing letting everyone know of his presence and the sweet treat that he brings. i’d ask my mom instantly to buy me one, wide-eyed with a very childish pout, and she’d contemplate about it at first (because, hey, it's the so-called dirty ice cream!) but then eventually and hesitantly gives in. oh, the simple joys of being a child and mother’s ever protective heart. anyway, whatever it is called, i’m a big fan of it. it is always a delight for the soul.

i finished the sorbetes in less than five minutes! we had our scoops of violet (ube), yellow (queso or cheese), and green (avocado) in a small cone instead of the big one and boy, it was quickly melting! i need to finish it at an instant. after which, we decided to go inside the church, said a little prayer, and i told them its history. they were impressed. i also noticed that there was a convent beside it and i only noticed it on that very day! how could i not see it before? but it makes so much sense that it was situated then and there because molo church is the all women’s church, after all. ah, what great realization, isn’t it? i love learning a thing or two a day. learning never really stops — even when you’re five, sixteen, or eighty.
