Newbie cooks, Tita Chatbot is here to give you helpful tips in the kitchen

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines is a nation that values family ties and keeps close connections with our extended families, and here, no one quite compares and could be equally as endearing to many of us than our beloved titas.

Conventionally, “tita” is the Filipino word for aunt or auntie—any female sibling of either one’s mom or dad. But in modern times, the meaning of tita has evolved in different ways.

Today, titas have also come to be known as women—usually mid-career professionals in their 30s or older—who, while not necessarily one’s kin, are regarded with equal respect for their wisdom, wit and wide interest, among others.

A certain kind of tita, for example, is one that professes knowledge in nutrition and skills in meal prep and cooking, one who is most concerned with the latest health food craze. She would not think twice about sharing her expertise with either her biological inaanaks or chosen inaanaks.

This is the kind of tita we look to for health advice, kitchen guidance and of course the occasional brunch, sometimes with her amigas in tow.

It is in this understanding that MAGGI has introduced to us its own version of this tita, guaranteed to be a cooking ally who will help you prepare tastier and healthier meals in the kitchen.
