Love banana ketchup? Wish a happy birthday to Maria Ylagan Orosa! As a brilliant chemist she researched ways to cook, jam, can, and produce accessible food for people, including banana ketchup.
“Tia Mary” was born on November 29, 131 years ago today. She earned her bachelor and master of science degrees in pharmaceutical chemistry in 1919. After turning down a chemist position for the US state of Washington, she returned to the Philippines. Rosalinda L. Orosa once wrote that Tia Mary “came home in 1922 to serve her people.”
And serve she did!
She used her chemistry background to concoct various inventions and recipes. She made local jams from guava using tamarind, santol, and calamansi acids, a “palayok oven” which helped Filipinos bake everything from cakes to meats without electricity, and recipes for both banana and mango ketchup. From vinegars to jams to canning, Tia Mary had done it all. One colleague wrote, “Before Del Monte ever thought of making vinegar from pineapple, Miss Orosa had been making it even before World War II.”
But it was in World War II where she would meet her untimely passing. She had refused to evacuate Manila during the war, as she was also part of the resistance movement against the Japanese. She was soon killed by American bombing in Remedios Hospital in Malate, on February 13, 1945.

Published Sept. 29, 2022Updated Oct. 18, 2022
This article is part of Overlooked, a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times.
Bright red, slightly sweet, slightly tangy, a popular Philippine condiment that’s almost like the real thing: It’s banana ketchup.
Its creator, Maria Orosa, was an innovative food scientist and Filipino nationalist who pioneered methods of canning and preserving native fruits, intent on making her country self-sufficient in food production.
She later turned her skills to feeding the guerrillas fighting the Japanese occupation during World War II and smuggling food to starving American and Filipino prisoners of war, leading some to consider her a war hero.
But banana ketchup remained an enduring legacy.
When Americans colonized the Philippines in 1898, they introduced elements of their cuisine, and ketchup became a popular condiment. But it was expensive to import, and tomatoes would not thrive in the tropical Philippine climate.
So Orosa set about making her own version.
Banana ketchup, which she created in the 1930s, is smoother and more viscous than the tomato version, making it a bit harder to shake out of the bottle. The concoction — made of hardy local saba bananas, sugar, vinegar and spices, with a dash of red coloring to make it look more like the imported version — is now a staple on the shelves of Philippine grocery stores.
“I would say it’s a defining part of the Filipino palate,” said Yana Gilbuena, a Philippines-born chef who, based in Oakland, Calif., runs a series of pop-ups called SALO serving Filipino food in the United States and other countries.
“Growing up with it, I’ve always thought that was how ketchup was supposed to taste,” she added, in an email. “Big surprise for me when I immigrated and tasted what ‘real’ ketchup tasted like.”
Today banana ketchup accompanies a wide range of dishes and snacks and is used as a sweetener in barbecue marinades and stews. People say it’s a must with fried chicken at the popular multinational Max’s Restaurant, a Filipino chain.
It’s also the key ingredient in the red “tomato sauce” used in Filipino-style sweet spaghetti, which uses small chunks of hot dog instead of meatballs — a popular dish at the global fast-food chain Jollibee’s.
First mass-produced in 1942, banana ketchup has become so popular that Heinz, arguably the king of tomato ketchup, entered into a joint venture in 2000 with Nutri Asia, which manufactures banana ketchup in the Philippines. A student ad campaign was created for Heinz in 2019 “in honor of Maria Orosa,” and promised that ketchup lovers would be “fascinated with its bold and delicious taste, the taste of overcoming any challenge, even making ketchup without tomatoes.”
Maria Ylagan Orosa was born on Nov. 29, 1893, in Taal, Philippines, a coastal town in Batangas Province, the fourth child of Simplicio Orosa y Agoncillo and Juliana Ylagan. Her father, a merchant, joined the ill-fated war of resistance to American colonization as captain of a steamship that transported Filipino troops among the country’s islands. Her mother ran a small shop.
In 1916, when Orosa was 23, she traveled to the United States as a government-sponsored scholar and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry and pharmaceutical science at the University of Washington in Seattle. While studying, she worked in the food laboratory at the university’s School of Pharmacy, experimenting with and testing products to ensure that they met government standards. It was a rare opportunity for a non-U.S. citizen.
“Here in America, it is very difficult to obtain the kind of job I have just been offered and accepted,” she wrote in a letter to her mother in 1918. “Before they offer to a person of color, such as Filipino, Japanese or Chinese, the jobs are first offered to whites.”
She ended her letter with advice for keeping healthy:
“Eat well, consume nutritious foods such as meat, eggs and milk, if available in the morning. Don’t overexert yourself and get enough sleep. You should be in bed by 9 p.m. and get up at 7 a.m. You need lots of sleep.”
Orosa worked at fish canneries in Alaska during the summers, developing a skill that would become useful in her career.
After completing her studies, Orosa was offered a job as an assistant chemist for the State of Washington but, as a committed nationalist, she chose to return to the Philippines to help her country become self-sufficient in food production through modern methods of preparation and preservation. She joined the government’s Bureau of Science and was soon leading its home economics and food preservation divisions.
Orosa was often called “an alchemist in the kitchen,” conjuring wines and jellies from native fruits, flour from bananas and cassava, and vinegar from coconuts. She developed local methods of canning fruit, notably frozen mangos, and invented the palayok oven, an earthenware pot widely used for cooking in rural areas without electricity.
“The practice of canning was virtually nonexistent in the Philippines,” the journalist Jessica Gingrich wrote in 2020 in the most authoritative account of Orosa’s life, published on the website Lady Science. “She nourished a nation through chemistry and culinary ingenuity.”
When Japan invaded and occupied the Philippines in 1941, Orosa joined a resistance movement called Marking’s Guerrillas, holding the rank of captain. She turned her attention to inventing nutrient-dense foods to sustain local fighters.
Her most notable inventions included soyalac, a drink made from soy beans, and darak, rice flour that could be eaten or baked into cookies rich in vitamin B-1, essential in preventing beriberi disease.
“One teaspoon a day” of darak “could keep a starving man’s digestive system open, his bowels functioning normally, no cramps,” Yay Panlilio, a guerrilla leader who was a friend of Orosa’s, wrote in a 1975 article in Women’s Journal. “A palm full could keep him on his feet. Two palms full, he could fight.”
She also organized a system for smuggling these lifesaving inventions to detainees in the Santo Tomas Internment Camp, where more than 4,000 civilians, most of them Americans, were held for four years.
During the final battle for Manila, Orosa was wounded in the foot by shrapnel and taken to Remedios Hospital, which overflowed with the wounded and with refugees from Japanese massacres.
The hospital came under American shelling, and Orosa was one of hundreds who died there, on Feb. 13, 1945. She was 51.
She kept people “from being starved to death,” her cousin Apolinario Orosa told the Filipino television network ABS-CBN in 2020. “And it was an American shell that killed her. That was the irony of it.”
Pedro Picornell, a volunteer at the hospital, wrote in a memoir that it was impossible to bury the bodies because the “Japanese shot at anybody who tried to move around in the streets.”
The dead were eventually buried in mass graves. Orosa’s remains were never identified.
Of her many legacies, banana ketchup remains the most beloved.
Claude Tayag, a Filipino chef, food writer and artist, said banana ketchup was “my savior” as a poor student when he doused it streetside on mashed sweet potato sandwiches or fried fish.
That it is made of bananas is “really not a big deal as far as we’re concerned,” he said in a telephone interview, “because it’s ours, it was invented here.”
He added: “Is there a law against making ketchup out of bananas? Does it have to be out of tomatoes?”

Women fighters, in fiction and in reality, have always fascinated me.
I grew up never getting tired of The Mummy Returns (2001) and its action-packed adventures. It features one of my most favorite cinematic moments: the fight scene between Nefertiri and Anck-su-namun, both tasked to be protectors in the kingdom of Egypt some 3,000 years ago. One may think they must be ahead of their time for training women for battle and assigning such tasks to them.
Fight scene from The Mummy Returns (2001)
There are many other scenes in the said film showing both women as their 1930s reincarnation, Evy (Nefertiri) and Meela (Anck-su-namun), fighting with and among men. Not once did Rick, Evy's husband, handed over guns to her to help them battle the enemies and save their son. Their kind of relationship was yet another reason why I have always loved that film.
Seeing The Mummy Returns again for the nth time, I figured these female characters have played a significant part in my upbringing. They showed me women can fight, too, when it was most needed. They didn't have to be the stereotypical damsels in distress waiting to be rescued because they can save themselves while saving others, as well. In retrospect, at such a young age I knew I wanted to be like them. I wasn't very much into the princess thingy, except for the Xena the Warrior Princess kind. In fact, I once dreamed of becoming like the Power Rangers with all their skills and stunts.
Through the years, I have been learning more about Filipinas who left their mark in our history. In an era of a patriarchal society where women were reinforced to be homemakers & deemed as the lesser sex, there were several of them who strayed against the conventions and took part in the never-ending fight for freedom.
Illustrations of Gabriela Silang (by Carlito Rovira) (top) and the first female general Agueda Kahabagan (from SCOUT Magazine) (bottom) during the Philippine Revolution
One of them was notorious for polishing her nails and putting on red lipstick before going to battle, because she believed she also fought for the freedom to be herself as a woman. Another one used to be a movie superstar until the war. She joined the guerrilla movement to avenge for her husband's murder, and in the process she saved an entire village from being killed by the colonizers.

But the courage of Filipina women in history has been witnessed not only at home and in the battlefield. There were women who stood up for their right to receive formal education and their right to vote.
Top photo: a painting of The Women of Malolos (art by Rafael del Casal); bottom photo: U.S. First Lady Florence Harding w/ Filipina suffragette delegation, 1922 (From US-Philippines Society)
There were women who saved people's lives by caring for the injured and the sick and feeding the hungry.
Clockwise from left: Melchora Aquino AKA Tandang Sora (from Wikipedia); Josefa Llanes-Escoda (from Bayaning Filipino on Blogger); Maria Orosa (from Orosa Family); and Dr. Fe del Mundo (from National Academy of Science and Technology)
There were women who continue to fight for justice and for their right to be heard, not just as victims but survivors of a violent, tragic past.
Top photo: the Malaya Lolas of Candaba, Pampanga; bottom photo: the lolas of Lila Pilipina. Both are groups of “comfort women,” survivors of military sexual violence during the Japanese Occupation. (From Facebook)
There were women who prove themselves worthy to be recognized by the world for their talents, abilities, and dedication in their respective fields.
Hidilyn Diaz, the first Filipino Olympic gold medalist; and Maria Ressa, the first Filipino Nobel Laureate (From Esquire Philippines)
There were women leaders who empowered their countrymen towards a better quality of life.
Campaign images of Senator Risa Hontiveros and former Senator Leila de Lima for the 2022 National Elections (From Facebook)
Atty. Leni Robredo, former Vice President of the Philippines (From Esquire Philippines)
And before I forget, I was raised and surrounded by strong women who all the while face their own share of battles in life.
We as women are fighters, and we should never let anyone tell us otherwise.
Meanwhile, I believe I have arrived at a full circle. I may haven't reached my dream of becoming a Power Ranger but who would have thought that as an adult, I would portray a woman fighter myself?
Happy Women's Month!

Find the Word Tag
I was tagged by @corishadowfang--thanks for the tag!
The words I’m looking for are creak, clean, create, and clear.
Creak
She stood alone, listening to the creaking of boats rising and falling, their crews asleep or deep in their cups in every tavern Bakur had to offer. The wind breathed against her. Cold and moist. The taste of salt tanging her tongue.
The water called to her. Take a swim, it encouraged her. No one will notice. No one will care.
Clean
Ten minutes later Pajira stepped back out into the neon haze that was Orosa. With clan justice delivered, it was time to hand over the scene to the police.
Let them clean this mess up for us.
Create
I can not find a single instance of having used this word...
Clear
The man shifted uncomfortably in his chair. ‘War makes strange bedfellows.’ he admitted. ‘Ordinarily, I would have rejected your overtures out of hand. It is most unseemly after all to be seen doing business with pirates. But my lord has made it quite clear that certain...accommodations are required in our current situation.’
I’ll tag @ardberts and anyone else who wants to give it a go! Consider this your tag! (I remains the worst at tagging fr)
Your words are Test, Worst, Throw, & Waste

DR. MARIA OROSA // FOOD TECHNOLOGIST
“She was a Filipina food technologist, pharmaceutical chemist, humanitarian and war heroine. She experimented with foods native to the Philippines, and during WWII developed Soyalac (a nutrient rich drink from soybeans) and Darak (rice cookies packed with vitamin B-1, which prevents beriberi disease), which she helped smuggle into Japanese-run internment camps that helped save the lives of thousands of Filipinos, Americans and other nationals. Orosa completed her bachelor’s and master’s degree in pharmaceutical chemistry, as well as an additional degree.”

How to Write A Pretentious Character
Below is an excerpt from chapter one of Fallwind:
‘What an irritating muffle from that helmet. Did you read neither the request in full nor the supplementary missive? You should flee for such sheer ineptitude. At once. Anon. Immediately. No? Hmph, very well; the reward is a substantial monetary compensation plus to which has been annexed a bonus gratuity in the form of a tablet in recognition of the haste of the service rendered. Whether it be an honorarium to your person is entirely impertinent. Accept it gratefully and be avaunted instanter; we, the honest people of the land of Vont tre Mon Dantali Orosa, do not tolerate your species here, dragon.’
The character above is disdainful. They use uncommon words that they believe the listener will not understand, and they insult the listener for being a dragon.
The chapter can be found at my website: https://rowanbyrneauthor.wordpress.com/2023/09/18/chapter-1-farm-raised/

La morosa
SUA MOROSA
The more I look at his message the more my mind makes the word look like something else.
Morosa more like orosa. Or urusa. Maybe it's a typo y'all.
Also the fact that he sent this message on December 5th and I sent him "the" message only two days later on December 7th.

“In what important historical event did Maria Orosa invented the banana ketchup?
