member),

Your nanay used to make you
drink Mirinda or Royal Tru Orange when
you have a fever, which is supposed to
make you feel better,

Sinamak is a staple in your
dining table (the best Ilonggo
invention if
you ask me, was even banned on
airplanes long before 911),

Your toyo is patis and your
patis is toyo,

You use atsuete for your adobo
