unisan is one of the oldest towns in the philippines. it’s also where my dad met my mom when they were just 13 + 15. they then dated for 9 years + have now been married for 26 years!! we love this small town. we love the simple living. we love the people. and we love how there’s basically nothing to do but enjoy other people’s company. 💕
the first coffee in the Philippines was introduced in city of Lipa (where my dad grew up) over two hundred years ago. it then slowly became known as the leading cultivator of coffee in the country. in the 1800s, a coffee rust disease destroyed many of Lipa’s plantations, and to this day the industry has not fully recovered. kapeng barako is one of my favorites & i regularly take bags home to the US with me. i’m glad to see @cafedelipa trying to revive this coffee that was once a staple to this land. ♥️
philippines, home of the biggest mall in all of asia. also, where you’ll see all malls completely crowded with families and students from open to close.
i’ve been eating my some of my favorite fruits every single day here in the Philippines 😋
the last time I celebrated my birthday in the Philippines was when I was two, so this birthday is very special to me because I celebrated with all my loved ones who are not able to come over to the states.💛
