Filipino nurses in the UK
Living in the UK for a year got me thinking about Filipinos who migrate here for work, particularly nurses.
Thoughts

Tondo may have been once a large kingdom or bayan long ago, but the remnants of its influence still stand today.

Popeyes’ vs. Jollibee’s chicken sandwich and the “Chicken Sandwich Wars”
I just learned about the “Chicken Sandwich Wars”, but who really wins in such a thing? Also, which is better, Jollibee’s or Popeyes chicken sandwich lol.

A review (kinda) of “Pigafetta’s Philippine Picnic” by Felice Prudente Sta. Maria.

Pinto Art Museum Arboretum
Possibly the only art gallery in Metro Manila that also features a wide variety of art created by nature.
