From Bahao to Breakfast
Spanish and American colonial eras influenced the earlier Philippine breakfast. During those centuries, innovations in kitchen stoves and ovens occurred globally. Lighting the day’s first cooking fire in the predawn light was demanding.

Inside the Walled City of Intramuros
From when the city was founded in 1571 until the end of the Spanish rule in 1898, Intramuros was Manila. The name Intramuros means “inside the wall.” For 400 years, Intramuros served as the center of the Spanish occupation, originally built to be the residence for Spanish government officials and their families. It was where the most influential and wealthy citizens of colonial Manila lived. The natives and Chinese were not allowed to live inside Intramuros, only the Spanish elite and mestizos.

Walking along the cobblestones of Calle Crisologo in Vigan, Ilocos Sur takes one back to life during the Spanish colonial era. There, more than one hundred houses built during the 18th and 19th centuries have remarkably retained their original architecture: a blend of colonial European style, Filipino design elements and indigenous materials.

A Trip to A Colonial Plantation
From Metro Manila, take the South Luzon Express Way and then make your way out the Lucena exit before heading towards San Pablo city. This two-hour drive south of Metro Manila will bring you to a beautiful laid-back spot called Villa Escudero plantations and resort. I was looking forward to visiting this historical colonial plantation. Founded in 1872, it was opened to public in 1980, allowing people to experience Philippine culture and history in an exquisitely picturesque rural setting.

Philippine Literature in the Spanish Colonial Period
The existing literature of the Philippine ethnic groups at the time of conquest and conversion into Christianity was mainly oral, consisting of epics, legends, songs, riddles, and proverbs.
