'I want people to sip something distinctly Filipino': How Pinoy Liquido Maestro pours pride, culture, and native ingredients into every bottle
As a passionate advocate of the Slow Food Movement in the Philippines, he works closely with communities to rediscover and celebrate native botanicals, foraged herbs, and forgotten flavours.
While visiting Australia, he shared his curiosity for local bush tucker and Indigenous fruits — hoping to find common ground between Filipino and Australian native ingredients.
The Philippines is home to a treasure trove of native botanicals, many of which remain unknown to the world. But a growing movement led by artisans like Kalel Demetrio, also known as the Liquido Maestro, is changing that.

Explore Love Without Limits in a bold, funny and unapologetic SBS Audio podcast about love, intimacy and disability
Disability advocates and comedians Madeline Stewart and Alistair Baldwin are here to challenge tired narratives that define love, sex and disability as mutually exclusive. They pull back the curtain on the real-life experiences of dating and intimacy for disabled people in a new hilarious and heartful SBS Audio podcast – Love Without Limits . This Disability Pride month no topic is off limits in this six-part podcast series featuring candid conversations with guests who share personal tales of love, sex, dating and relationships – from burgeoning romances and long-term partnerships to flings, friendships, self-love and everything in between. In light of this year's Disability Pride theme ' No Shame. No Apologies', discussions spare no detail as the six-episode podcast examines the barriers to intimacy that people with disability can face. The series explores questions like 'how does a person who has lost both their hands and feet adapt their sex life?' and 'why do we never see people with dwarfism having sex on our screens?'. Hosts Madeline Stewart and Alistair Baldwin said: 'We're excited to be bringing Love Without Limits to life and to hold a space for conversations about the real-life reflections and experiences of dating and intimacy as a disabled person.' 'The series tackles the stereotypes of sex and disability that exist both on screen and off. The conversations we have are cheeky and heartfelt, and while they might sometimes be seen as risky, risqué or controversial, they're necessary – because it's important to hear from those who've been unfairly boxed-in by the same tired narratives.' Creator and producer of the series Eliza Hull said: 'Disabled people are so often desexualised, infantilised, or viewed through a medical lens that ignores our identities as sexual beings. I wanted to create a space where disabled people could share their own stories, in their own words, to challenge these stereotypes.' Joining the series are: Carly Findlay OAM, renowned writer, speaker and appearance activist; Australia's first actor with a cochlear implant, Nathan Borg, who played Curtis Perkins in Neighbours ; Lisa Prowd, dancer, performance artist and life model, who has an incredible range of work exploring the normality and uniqueness of her own body; and Hannah Diviney, Australian actress, activist and author, who was part of the first Australian sex scene featuring a disabled actor (in Latecomers on SBS in 2022). Love Without Limits is an unapologetically funny, modern, and fearlesspodcast series that platforms the voices of disabled people and their experiences to challenge stereotypes and how we talk about love, sex and disability. Listen to all of SBS Audio's podcasts on the SBS Audio App, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LiSTNR or wherever you stream podcasts. Episodes launching weekly. Love Without Limits is the latest offering from SBS, recently named the Australian Podcaster of the Year for the third year in a row. For a pdf copy of this media release, click here.

How a boy from Balmain made caring cool
Jack Manning Bancroft is the founder and CEO of the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME). Jack's mother is Bundjalung artist, Bronwyn Bancroft. Growing up in inner-Sydney, he was intimidated by her artistic drive and threw himself into sport, because that was the only way a young Jack thought a man could have influence in the world. When he was ten the family moved to Bundjalung country to spend time with his mum's side of the family. The local kids refused to accept that Jack was Aboriginal. He escaped into fantasy books and wrote long letters home to his dad, Ned Manning, in Sydney. Jack received a scholarship to St Paul's College at the University of Sydney and vowed to use his opportunity to increase the number of Indigenous kids at university. The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) was born and Jack has since used his position to forge connections between communities to foster understanding across the world.
