Without a doubt, beauty pageants are already considered a part of our culture. Filipinos are known for their fixation with them. The public is tuned in to every update and step of their representative: her pre-pageant performance, catwalk, gown, swimsuit, advocacy, and her intelligence, eloquence, and articulacy in responding to questions, especially in the Q&A […]

Ah, Adobo. What would the world be without you. In celebration of Filipino-American History Month in the United States, Disney shared an adobo recipe last October 22, 2022.
