Dinakdakan is one of Ilocandia’s native dish as well as kilawen. Its a grilled pig ears/snout/face cut in small slices with spices and mayonnaise. It is a somewhat similar to kilawen (kilawin) that is actually serve as appetizer for those drinking for those who love drinking liquor but it is equally good for viand.

Isn’t it mouth watering? In the Philippines, we call it halo-halo (from tagalog word halo which means “mix”). It is the popular native dessert among Filipinos specially on summer season. Why?

There’s no specific recipe for halo-halo, its a mixture of boiled sweet beans and fruits in season with crushed ice and milk. There’s a wide variety of ingredients Filipino entrepreneurs used. You can buy them anywhere in the Philippines. I happened to be the kind of person who wanted to try specialty [...]

Barangay Baclaran is noted for the Wednesday Novenas at the shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help National Shrine of the Redemptorist Church. Every Wednesday more or less 10,000 people from all walks of life converge at the church to attend the novena. It is without argument the most attended church in Asia. Many known celebrities who are devotees to Our Lady of Perpetual Help do come at Tuesdays nights to avoid people. Many people mistaken Baclaran as part of Pasay, it is actually part of Paranaque.
Traffic is normal on Wednesdays especially on first Wednesdays of the month. Baclaran [...]
