Erik Matti against Twitter world regarding comments about Cebu Street Food
The intriguing post of the netizen rooted from the comment of the award-winning director Erik Matti about the street food in Cebu was showcased in the Netflix episode, Cebu.
The netizen wrote, “For someone who made a movie in the slums of MNL, Erik Matti sure got some nerve calling Cebu’s streetfood poverty porn.”

Director Matti, on the other hand, just shared his views regarding the eel bakasi- a Cebuano street food that was showcased in the episode and thought that maybe there could have been other street food that is more perfect to represent the country and the Filipino culture.
The question I wanted to ask was: given all street food in cebu and the entire Philippines, is the eel bakasi the best and most important street food to showcase from our country to the world? Chinese lumpia as another street food entry in the episode. Ilocano fried empanada…

Due to contrasting views, many netizens especially the Cebuano people took his words negatively and lashed out at Matti’s posts. Mostly gave poor remarks regarding his posts.
Because they are featuring CEBU steeet foods.
Street foods that are not known nationally, but loved by Cebuanos.
They're doing a documentary on CEBU street foods, and do you think it is appropriate to feature "Ilocos Empanada"?
Shame on you.

The story simply shows a certain "exotic" food, which can be seen in many common streets in the region of Cebu, that doesnt represents the country's finest street food. And lechon is NOT A STREET FOOD here in Cebu.
