like pandesal to be served hot and freshly baked from the oven. They expect it to
have a soft crumb texture and a slightly crunchy crust that is light brown in color.
The Filipinos’ unique way of eating pandesal is by dipping it into hot coffee. It can
also be served with a variety of spreads or fillings such as butter, cheese or jam.
Nowadays, some bakeries sell pandesal not only for breakfast but also as a
snack at any time of the day.( Sheryl Gabriel & Martina Mallenhauer, 2016)

reduced growth during cool winter months in subtropical areas. For optimal
growth, it is therefore limited to areas 15-25 deg. north or south of the equator.
Leucaena leucocephala sheds its leaves even with light frosts, and heavy frost
kills all above-ground growth, although trees often sprout the following summer. It
grows well only in subhumid or humid climates with moderate dry seasons of up

Greetings!
We are Grade 12 – TVL – Home Economics Strand (Cookery) students who are
currently conducting a research titled “Sensory Evaluation of Pandesal Bread with
Ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) Young Leaves” which generally aims to evaluate the
pandesal bread with Ipil-ipli (Leucaena leucocephala) young leaves. This study is a
major requirement for Senior High School.
In this regard, we would like to solicit your permission to allow us to conduct our study in
school, particularly at Home Economics Laboratory.
Rest assured that we will observe precautionary measures and proper behavior and
wear proper PPE while conducting the experiment.
We are hoping for your kind consideration and favorable response to this matter.
Respectfully yours,
