When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Do you believe in kulam (witchcraft)?


Living in the Philippines there are some people believe in kulam which is a Filipino way putting people who they hate to take in revenge of a person or make them fall in love with them. In other worlds it is witchcraft that some people pay for someone to do it for them.

I don't believe in kulam because when you harm a person you will pay for the karma you get to destroy a person in a harmful way.

Is it even worth to put someone under a spell under witchcraft?

I have a friend who wanted to do kulam to someone because she felt her partner in crime hurt her so much and when she had found out the price she had to pay she didn't realize the price was so expensive.

The fee to have someone to be kulam is PHP 3,000.00 ($60.00). 

In order for the person to do kulam you need the full name of the person and a recent picture of them have it printed it out to be given to the person who will put a spell on them in order to begin the process.

I asked the person who will do it why so expensive she claimed the black candle is expensive. I was wondering how a black candle cost so much all along I thought people who does witchcraft make that person into a doll and they put pins on them like what we see in a horror movie.

I was telling my friend who wanted do the kulam and she say, no too expensive.

I teased my friend if you pay PHP 3,000.00 do you know how many bad luck you will get in your life. I said, you will have three thousand worth of karma in your life because what you are doing to someone is really bad. You become an evil person when you do this. 

I told my friend if you do this I will no longer be your friend because how will I know you might invest and do it to me too.

I had told my friend praying for someone is free from God and he can also guide you in the process in a better way than striving for revenge on someone and get something bad out of it.
