10 Things you can only find in the Philippines



The Philippines has a lot to offer for anyone who’s willing to brave the roads: fantastic sunsets, stunning beaches, and some of the happiest and most hospitable people on the planet.

There are, however, certain things you can only find in the Philippines. Here’s a list of 10 things you can only find in the Philippines:

1.Soda (or any other drink) in a plastic bag



You’ve seen plastic bottles, glass bottles, mugs, glasses… but have you seen drinks served in a plastic bag?

2. Balut eggs



The essential challenge for all expats/foreigners: eat a balut egg (fertilized duck egg with an almost developed embryo).

3.Dinuguan



It’s black, but it’s made with blood… pig’s blood, to be exact.

4.Sizzling Sisig (though it’s now seen in Filipino restaurants outside the country)



The world only got to know about sisig recently, but Filipinos have always been eating this wonderful delicacy.

5.Tumbang Preso



Never underestimate the creativity of Filipino children… especially when it comes to games. This is played with a tin can and a bunch of your friends.

6.Pun-tastic business names



One of the best things about the Philippines? We. Like. Having. Puns.

7.The Cebu Dancing Inmates



Detention centers may not be the best places to find people having fun… until you get to the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC). These inmates may just be having the time of their lives whenever they dance.

8.The Jeepney



Western countries have their trucks. Japan has its very efficient railway system. The Philippines has the artistic and iconic jeepney, a re-purposed military jeep from World War II.

9.Halo-halo



You’ve seen Anthony Bourdain chow down a cup of this at the Jollibee in Los Angeles, but you’ve never tasted the original (and the many varieties it has) in the Philippines.

10.Taho



Filipinos enjoy this treat morning, noon, and night. It’s sweet, warm, gooey, and oh so good.
