This is the second installment of an examination of notable and new developments in social media and legal practice. Part One highlighted important statutes, case law, ethics opinions, along with extensive news media coverage of law-related social media issues.
By the latter half of the 19th century Malacañang had become the official Palace and the main street of Arrabal de
San Miguel
was known as La Calzada de Malacañang. In mid-19th century the grounds of the Palace were used as experimental ground for the planting of Chinese tallow-trees, at around the same period that the main streets of Manila were being planted to flame trees.
Besides Malacañang, two other establishments were to make
San Miguel
a national byword, and these were: the Fabrica de Ginebra de
San Miguel
and the Fabrica de Cerveza de
San Miguel
, both among the last of the Creole enterprises, though both would rank first and very high (as blessings!) in our pop culture.
Ginebra
San Miguel
originally belonged to the Zobels, now belongs to the Palancas, and carries a label created by a promising young artist, Fernando Amorsolo, who in the 1900s, designed that logo of St Michael vanquishing the devil now known throughout the land as the Marca Demonio. It's unquestionably Amorsolo's most famous work! The big and small bottles of the ginebra are respectively known as the cuatro kantos and the bilog. The gin itself is, of course, nationally famous as the "inumin ng tunay na lalaki". But long before that ad was thought of, this ginebra was already associated with virility. In the old days a country boy's first initiation in sex was usually preceded by a slug or two of ginebra, to give him courage and staying power; and a morning rite for cockers was to gargle a mouthful of the gin and then spit it into the face of a fighting cock, to make the bird cockier. Ginebra
San Miguel
is "proletarian", being the drink most within the means of the masses --- but even the kanto boy who happens to have enough cash for a case of beer wouldn't think of buying anything except a cuatro kantos if his barkada's pulutan is dog!
San Miguel
beer is "class" --- for those who still have to move on and up to Stateside, brandy and cocktail. Our favorite cerveza began as a Barretto enterprise in 1890 on No. 6 Calzada de Malacañang, or right next-door to the Palace. St Michael was to have presided over the inauguration of the brewery but typhoons forced Don Enrique Ma. Barretto de Ycasa to transfer the inaugural flow of his cerveza from the feast day of the Archangel to October 4, 1890, when Manila Elegante, headed by General Weyler, the Marquis of Ahumada and Archbishop Netter (who blessed the first barrels), got a taste of the Barretto brews in a brilliant pavilion where the tables were laden with "succulent viands, sandwiches and desserts". An artillery band played waltz music (the waltz is pre-eminently the stein music) and the stylish beer-drinkers danced under a profusion of colored lanterns. Outside that elegant pavilion raged the inclemencies not only of the weather but of history (Rizal had already erupted). Such was the first flow of the beer born only two years before the Katipunan.
brews --- pale pilsen and Cerveza Negra --- the latter entered our pop culture faster, because it became a tradition among our mothers to take Cerveza Negra when breast - feeding. Among the menfolk, beer --- the pale pilsen --- became the traditional accompaniment to the potaje de habichuelas; and beer with balut was supposed to be a good tonic for the newly married, the convalescent, and the TB- stricken. But generally speaking, the pre-war Filipino was not a beer - drinker --- in fact, not a drinker at all.
Our conversion occurred in 1945, during the Liberation, when Filipinos became accustomed to beer on tap at the G.I. camps; and this newly acquired taste of ours begot the "soda fountains" of the 1950s. Followed the "cocktail lounge", the "supper club", and today's more frankly titled beerhouse. For some reason we never took to calling such places "bar" or "saloon". Old-timers who remember tasting strong drink only in their 20s cannot but marvel at the kids of today, already addicted to "toma" in their early teens. Epochal was our postwar transfiguration from a race of mild drinkers to a nation of boozers.
From Aparri to Jolo, the true patron saint of the Filipino is
San Miguel
