Philippine trait

It is said that the Filipino people are known for their hospitality. When compared to the western world, there is no comparison.

However when we talk about hospitality within the confluence of the South East Asian region, hospitality is an inherent part of the culture of the people of Asian.

I had been fortunate enough to travel to most parts of Asia and with that the good fortune to experience not only the hospitality of the Filipinos but also that of the Thaïs, Indonesians, the Laotians, Singaporean and the Malaysians.

If you ever drop by the home of any of these cultures, your host will definitely offer you something to drink or eat. All these cultures practice the same values, like close family ties, respect for the elder and loyalty among their countrymen. 

Philippine tourist spot

Banaue Rice Terraces -- Lone District, Ifugao, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Luzon, Philippines

The Rice Terraces in Banaue, Ifugao are considered to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. The terraces are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Approximately during the ministry of Jesus Christ on earth (over 2000 years ago), the native people of Ifugao began carving the terraces of the mountains using merely their bare hands and sticks from the trees in the forests. The terraces were carved mainly to provide an area of land suitable for planting rice which is the staple food of most Filipinos whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, rice is always served and eaten with the main dish. The rainforests above the mountains act as a natural irrigation system used to water the rice plants. The terraces are 7 hours of travel by car (50 miles) from Baguio city, the summer capital of the Philippines. Travelling from Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, it would take a total of 12 hours to reach the terraces, a distance of about 205 miles.

Apo Reef National Park -- Occidental Mindoro

The Apo Reef Natural Park is the second largest coral reef system in the world after the Great Barrier Reef system in Queensland, Australia. The park is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Various marine species live in the reef area including corals, fishes, seaweeds, algae and mangrove trees. The park can be reached by means of boat in about 2 hours from 
the island of Mindoro, a distance of 20 miles.

Chocolate Hills -- Bohol

The Chocolate Hills of Bohol are a spectacular natural wonder in the Philippines. It consists of nearly 1800 small cute little hills that are spread over an area of 20 square miles. The hills are located in 3 towns of Bohol namely Carmen, Batuan and Sagbayan.

Philippine transportation

A kalesa or calesa (sometimes called a karitela) is a horse drawn calash (carriage) used in the Philippines. The word, also spelled calesa, predates the Spanish conquest and descends ultimately from an Old Church Slavonic word meaning "wheels." This was one of the modes of transportation introduced in the Philippines in the 18th century by the Spaniards that only nobles and high ranked officials could afford.^[1] They are rarely used in the streets nowadays except in tourist spots and some rural areas. The Kalesa driver is commonly called as “Cochero” or “Kutsero”. When “Cochero” direct the horse to turn right he says “mano” and he says “silla” to direct the horse to turn left . 

Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded seating. They have become a ubiquitous symbol ofPhilippine culture.

The word jeepney is a portmanteau of "jeep" and "Jitney".

While most are used as public utility vehicles, jeepneys are also used for personal use, known in the Philippines as "family use", and less often for commercial or institutional use.

the oldest form of transportation of the pilipino its just like the kalesa but the kalabaw is the engine

farmer is the mostly use of it in the farm 

filipino dessert during summer

Summer is here so today i'm gonna blog about the Favorited food of Pilipino on summer, the Halo-halo. Halo-halo came from the two Pilipino word Halo means mix. this is the most popular dessert of Pilipino during summer.Halo-halo has many ingredient such as Kidney beans, kaong, gulaman, sweeted banana, purple yum (ube), jackfruit, pinipig and a lot of more. but mostly fruit is the ingredient of the halo-halo. it serve with crush ice and evaporated milk.

Mais con yelo is one of the favorite dessert of pilipino it main ingredient is sweet corn and cursed iced with evaported milk. is less expensive than Halo-halo

 the most favorite at all the buko pandan  it has a sweet taste of buko with gulaman, with flavored pandan.

Isaw is one of my favorite street food even though they have a creepy look but have great taste.
Isaw is made from chicken or pig  intestine but i prepare chicken intestine cause they a more yummy taste.
they cleaned, turn inside out and clean it again, repeated in several times.then they boiled it or put a soy sauce with garlic, onion, pepper and anything that make the intestine more delicious. then grill it  with stick until it cook they dip it  in  kurat or vinegar with different spices. isaw has a lot of calories so be careful don't eat a lot.

Isaw is one of the most dangerous food of the Pilipino because of insufficient cooking method involved. but for me "over is dangerous". Isaw  usually you found in street has a cheap price that anyone can avail.think i blog all of things about isaw get out of the street and fine some isaw.

Pilipino trait

This was a one of the beautiful trait of the Pilipinos called the "Pagmamano". It was started at Spanish time. the Christianize Pilipino kiss the hand of the friars the sign of power over them. The word Pagmamano came from the word root word "Mano" a spanish word for Hand. Then & then Pilipinos adopt this tradition.

Pagmamano usually done to Elder specially to Grandparents.The elder gave their right hand to young's and the young's put it to their forehead.And the elder say "kawaan ka ng diyos" or in English May god have mercy on you. Another means of this is asking the blessing of elders. I think Christmass the most prone to this activity because it means kid asking for gift to their godparents, parent & etc.

Today still this Pilipino trait is with us. and still again it means respect to the elders like Po and Opo. Let us keep this beautiful tait that our ancestor adopted and nurtured. Just remember, pagmamano is a tradition that only practice in the philippine.
