The Lifestyle Network is dedicating its second year of mounting one of the grandest dining events in the metro, entitled “Around The Philippines in Small Plates,” to assist in the fundraising and relief operations of Sagip Kapamilya through the ICanServeFoundation.
As such, it aptly has chosen to unite the various regions of the country in a different way to mirror the oneness among its people following the calamity.
Made up of 7,107 islands, the Philippines is home to a diverse culture. Part of this culture is a variation in practices, rites, and language;but one thing common among all people, regardless of region, is a love for a flavor uniquely Filipino that is expressed in many ways.
