Jeepney Sunset Tours

The best time to watch the Manila Bay sunset is usually during the first week of March. In this period, the cool winds bid farewell to Manila as we welcome the start of summer.

Congratulations to Claude Tayag, Ivan Man Dy and Market Manila for showcasing the Filipino cuisine to the World. Anthony Bourdain credited the slow-roasted lechon in Cebu as “The Best Pig Ever” (kudos to MarketManila!). This puts the Philippines’ pork dish in the #1 slot in Bourdain’s Hierarchy of Pork.

We love Aidan’s first photoshoot. Raymond Marcelo of Shotwell Studios did a great job with Aidan’s class picture. How I wish I can get the high – res files. My favorite photo is the one where he was seated with his legs up. What’s your favorite?
