Favorite Pinoy Foods You’ll Always See in Any Occasion
There is no question that Pinoys love to eat – and we enjoy eating good food, of course! But there are just some foods that Pinoys will never get tired of eating. And you’ll always see this on the table in any occasion, whether a simple lunch with family or a grand social event!
Adobo

A dish made with pork or chicken (or even both), adobo is such a popular Pinoy food that it is not unusual to see Filipinos eating this even on an ordinary meal with the family. It is also a top-selling favorite at the carinderia and is always offered in Pinoy restaurants, no matter the location.
Pancit or Bihon Guisado

It is said that you have to include a noodle dish in a ‘handaan’ because this symbolizes long life because of the long strands. But this dish isn’t just for birthdays. Just like adobo, it can be an everyday viand and you’ll always find this in the carinderia.
This dish is also perfect both as a snack item and a dish for lunch or dinner.
Bistek or Beef Steak

Cooked with a blend of sweet, sour, and salty, the bistek Tagalog or simply the Pinoy beef steak is made of thinly sliced beef topped with caramelized onion rings.
Fried Lumpia

Although this dimsum dish has its origins from Chinese cuisine, lumpia has long been recognized as a Pinoy food. A popular dish in both special occasions and ordinary day-to-day meals, lumpia can be made with different fillings. Vegetables are a popular filling but meat in lumpiang Shanghai is also a top favorite.
Fried Chicken

You’ll surely not be surprised the fried chicken is a very popular Pinoy food. While some Pinoys prefer the inasal or inihaw version, fried chicken is still a top favorite.
Lechon
The lechon is the star of every Pinoy handaan. Almost always, there’s a lechon during a special occasion in many Pinoy households. These days, even those who can’t afford a whole lechon can still have the dish – thanks to the many stores selling lechon by the kilogram.

It is also now possible to enjoy lechon anytime you want to, not just during special events because these stores are open every day. There are also lots of restaurants offering lechon dishes on the menu.

Teen Ridiculed for Charles & Keith “Luxury Bag,” Now a Model of Several Brands
A teen ridiculed for Charles & Keith “luxury bag” gets the last laugh after the brand signed her up as their model.
But that’s not all. She has also become the face of other brands, including an airline! Wow.
Let’s just say that those who mocked her aren’t laughing now, huh?
Teen Ridiculed for Charles & Keith Bag Becomes a Model
When 17-year-old Singapore-based Pinay teen Zoe Gabriel happily posted about her “first luxury bag” after getting a Charles & Keith tote as a present from her dad, several netizens mocked her.
Some were even mean enough to comment on her post, pointing out that Charles & Keith isn’t a luxury brand.
Other netizens jumped to her rescue, assuring the young girl that “luxury” is relevant and she was right in considering the bag a luxury, especially because her dad bought it with his hard-earned money as an OFW (overseas Filipino worker).
Soon, Zoe and her dad were invited to the brand’s headquarters where they had a tour of the facility. The brand also gave her more bags.
Later, it was announced that Zoe is the newest model for Charles & Keith.

But her turn of luck didn’t stop there. After visiting Charles & Keith, she was also invited by other brands for a visit and got freebies from restaurants and other companies in the area.
Recently, it was also revealed that the teen isn’t just modeling for Charles & Keith but has also been signed up as the face for several other brands.
For example, she can be seen wearing an AirAsia cabin attendant’s uniform while dancing to a TikTok video posted by the airline.
@flyairasia Dare to dream with @zoe 🦋
In another video, she can be seen dancing with the cabin crew.
@flyairasia *Domestic: all-in from RM23. Asean: all-in from RM60. Includes airport taxes, MAVCOM fee, fuel surcharges and other applicable fees. T&C apply.
The future seems bright for this young lady – and it all started when people laughed at her over an innocent, happy post.
Good luck, Zoe Gabriel!

Family’s Funny Convo Goes Viral after Kids ‘Reprimand’ Parents for Staying Out Late
A family’s funny convo goes viral after a role reversal that many netizens can relate with, as the kids jokingly “reprimand” their parents for staying out late. Cool or not?
Family’s Funny Convo Goes Viral
Parents are expected to discipline their children and make sure that they’re following the house rules, focus on their studies, and be home at certain hours or before the curfew.
Of course, many parents don’t impose a strict curfew but they do expect their children to be home. It isn’t surprising that many parents get angry at their children if the kids stay out late at night, especially during school days.
And many of us can just hear what our parents usually tell us – how we should be home early, what we’re supposed to do, what we shouldn’t do while out, etc.

So, imagine what happens when the roles are reversed and the kids are left at home while their parents are out late, just hanging out with their friends or with each other.
The situation can turn hilarious, just like what happened to the family of a certain netizen “VM” whose convo went viral on Pilipino Star Ngayon Digital.
According to their convo, the parents were out somewhere, with Grace (obviously the mom) sharing a selfie to their GC. It was posted close to 8 PM.
One of the kids, Michael, immediately replied and “reprimanded” their parents, asking where they were and “accusing” the two of going out to have fun.
Another child, Ejay, pointed out that it was already night and their parents should already go home.

The rest of the convo used phrases that parents usually tell their kids when they’re still out, adding that they’re “hard-headed.”
This entire convo is a joke, of course, but many netizens had a good laugh about it.
Some netizens even “advised” the kids to refrain from being too strict with their parents because they might rebel against them. LOL
VM later clarified that the couple, their parents, do get out often these days, but that’s only because their kids are all adults already. Only one child, their youngest, is left at home with them.

The convo is a running joke in the family – and we all think that’s sweet because their easy banter shows that they’re a close-knit family.
What’s a Close-Knit Family?
The term is used for a family or group of people that have close bonds or ties with each other. They can be closely related or have a very close friendship – and they support each other.

Makeup Artist Fulfills Promise to Ex-GF on Her Wedding Day
A makeup artist fulfills his promise to his ex-girlfriend on her wedding day. Although it wasn’t exactly what he had in mind when he made the promise, he’s proud to say he was able to make it!
Would you fulfill your promise to an ex even if you’ve already broken up?

Guy Becomes Ex-GF’s Makeup Artist on Her Wedding Day
It’s difficult to fulfill a promise to an ex – especially when you made the promise while you were still together but you’re no longer a couple now.
But that’s not an issue for Ericson Pascual.
Back in the day, he didn’t have any money to buy a gift for his then-girlfriend. But he promised to make her the most beautiful bride on her wedding day.

It was the best thing that he could think of to promise her at the time. However, fate had other plans for the young couple and they broke up.
What’s amazing is that even if they are no longer together, Pascual was still able to fulfill his promise to her – he made her the most beautiful bride on her wedding day.
However, in this twist of fate, Pascual wasn’t the groom that made her beautiful. Instead, he literally made her beautiful because he’s her makeup artist!
@makeupbyericsonpascual Replying to @Mae hoy bakit ako naiiyak habang ineedit to 😁🥺😢 highschool pa yun e #wedding #weddingmakeupartist #tiktokph #fry #makeupartistph
While many people couldn’t believe that he actually did it and that the groom actually allowed it (considering he’s the bride’s ex-boyfriend!), it appears that he’s chill with the couple as he even posed with the two, with the labels “past” and “present” placed on their images. Whoa.

Some netizens think it must have hurt Pascual to do this to his ex, but it appears that he’s actually so happy to have fulfilled his promise even if it wasn’t something that he had planned on.
What’s the Cost of Hiring a Wedding Makeup & Hair Stylist?
How much do weddings typically cost in the Philippines? You’ll be surprised that a huge chunk of the budget goes to the bride, including her hair and makeup.
For example, while the wedding gown typically costs anywhere from Php5,000 to Php80,000, the hair and makeup can also go as high as Php7,500 to Php30,000.
