Update 10/10/11: The website owner has already removed all the photos that don't belong to them.
Update 10/13/11: After reading a few of the posts, I found that most of their write-up and description of, or introduction to a dish are "frankensteinized" from other blogs combined with wiki entries. What annoys me is they usually do not make sense. For example, their translation of Arroz Caldo is Hot Rice, which was lifted from a Filipino blogger who mistakenly used the Italian translation of caldo which means warm, hot, fervent, instead of the Spanish caldo, broth. The description that they wrote taken directly from wiki mentions the Chinese origin [congee] of arroz caldo that THE SPANISH PEOPLE loved to eat at the time. And then they went ahead and used the ITALIAN translation because it's at the top of the entries of a translation page. What do the Italians have to do with a Spanish/Chinese/Filipino dish??? DOES.NOT.MAKE.SENSE. This is the problem with writing a post by copy/paste from other sources laziness instead of thinking and writing for themselves and not understanding the food or dish they are writing about. The sad thing is instead of imparting their knowledge about Filipino food, they are spreading incorrect information to their readers. Definitely not a good thing.

Again? I used to use that site too.
Yes, unfortunately. I thought it was a legitimate cooking website but I had a gut feeling it's one of those cook pretenders. When I saw two of my photos on there, I knew it is a fraudulent website. The shameless owners attached their watermark on my photo knowing full well they don't own it. They will get their karma one of these days.:)
hay naku oggi! they are giving me a headache=( I also found another website who used my pic and cropped my watermark, msg her pero dedma=( check this site just in case she got some pics from you...http://www.exoticphilippines.info/2011/08/filipino-culture-tips-on-top-pasalubong.html
Althea, kumusta na. Yun bang colorful puto sa yo? They looked familiar.
I saw on this pinoyrecipe.net one of our KCC members' photo of pastillas in colorful papers but can't remember who it belongs to. I think it was for the food as gift theme.
These thieves are sprouting up like poisonous mushrooms after a week of nonstop rain. Maybe they desperately want to be on my Blog Thieves Hall of Shame.LOL
The site is an old site, some of my photos and recipes has been copied also, now that the site is popular it started to delete those plaqarized photos.
Hi Noel, when I asked the owner to remove my 2 photos he promptly did and he emailed me saying he already removed all the photos that were on the website before he acquired it. He seems okay, I guess.
@oggi~ yeah, the pic is mine...she cropped out the watermark=( I already msg her nicely pero dedma tlaga ang loka. She'll get it soon (karma)if she just ignore this;P
Thanks for the tip. I've been to that site a few times and I've always wondered.
Althea, first time I've encountered the word dedma and googled it. I learned a new Filipino term for patay malicia. Thanks.:)
Dexie, it's an old site with new owners. I will regularly monitor it and hope they will keep it free of stolen recipes and photos.
Eduardo Joven of http://www.pinoyrecipe.net is a copyright thief. He not only steals photos from other but also articles and recipes of other websites. Shame on Eduardo Joven.
