Mom Violy, Tita Edna and Carmina have never been to Iloilo . Tita Edna suggested using her Philippine Airlines mileage to deduct 9,000 miles for a round trip to Iloilo and pay taxes of about 3,000 pesos ($50.85). Mom Violy and Carmina decided to do the same. Two weeks later, we learned Bacolod was recently hit by a typhoon, leaving fewer places to visit, so we changed our plans to stay in Iloilo, paying an additional 2,057 pesos ($34.86) for January 6–9, with Tita Edna leaving one day earlier on January 8, 2026.  Tita Edna told us that she has a friend Beth who can pick us up from the airport.

Filipino Spaghetti Recipe Living Abroad

Sometimes in life we are overwhelmed in what is happening in our surrounding. We don't realize what is just in front of us. Our mind tends to drift and realize there are a lot of people who care for us  They express themselves in a different way. Some people when they are stressing they tend to go toward food. I am sharing with you my home made recipes. Filipino Style Spaghetti: I was told by a close friend that there is certain tomato sauce that taste different from the Philippines and if you buy the same brand in the States.

So, I was able to try the a different brand while I was vi siting my home town and found you can use S&W Tomato Sauce which can be brought at Costco. I was able to use 1 and a half cans. Only problem they carry it in a large size. So, you will have some left overs. Of course you can use th...
