I kinda want to back to the motherland since I haven't been there since 94. But that flight is like 18 hours plus from NJ and ain't cheap SMH. One day I'll go back though

I find men in general are perfectly OK with cheating. This would describe about 75 percent of married men or men with girlfriends that I know, personally.
They don't even sound guilty when they talk about it either

Cebu is known for their lechon but to be quite honest I wasn't super impressed. It was still really tasty, but I actually enjoyed the lechon I got in Manila better.
This was a "Lechon Market" in Carcar which I believe is like the lechon capital of Cebu
Then there's also Oslob where you can swim with whale sharks/butanding. Definitely really cool
And there's Tumalog Falls near Oslob but unfortunately it was closed off when I visited last year so I didn't get to see it. I did go to Aguinid Falls which is a smaller set of water falls that you can climb up and entrance was like $3 USD or something and you get a guide that helps you climb. It was a little crowded when I went though
As for Palawan, you definitely have to see El Nido. I stayed in Puerto Princesa and it was meh. There was the Underground River which was kinda cool and there is some island hopping to do but from what I've seen and heard El Nido is A LOT better.

I asked my wife if she'd want to visit the PI with our kids and she declined to because she isn't close to any of her relatives out in the homeland and the family here is who she's known all her life.
I understand her reasoning. For me, I want to go back to the PI to visit the places

went to and to party with my well-off cousins. (supposedly they're friends with the girls on TFC lol)

It was a little scary to be honest, but they're filter feeders. You also aren't supposed to touch them, but a few times they swam into me.

I've done this trip too, the whale shatks are very docile and I don't think they even have teeth.

This one of the books i read in my Asian American Experience class in college. It's about a Filipino guy name Carlos Bulusan. Crazy enough, he lived 10 mins away from my hometown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_Is_in_the_Heart

I never knew we had a thread
Nick's Kitchen is a vegan place in Daly City. I was actually impressed.
If you want to go family style, go to Isla in Union City or San Bruno.
RSM in Hercules is decent.
Speaking of which, when will Ang Probinsyano end?
It's kinda ridiculous how they keep dragging it to the point where there isn't a plot anymore.
I'm fluent in speaking Tagalog.
Chibog on Gellert in Daly City is pretty good. So is Tselogs.

Blame the media for somewhat regulating it. Many plots of telenovelas/movies are based on mistress/switching spouse situations.
