The Filipino diet also reflects multicultural characteristics, such as coconut milk from Malay ancestors, roast suckling pig with Chinese characteristics, and many Spanish-inspired dishes.

"When you come to the Philippines, you must have a good taste, the food here is still very down-to-earth, in order to cater to the taste and needs of the public, merchants will use local food and specialties to attract customers, there are a variety of restaurants and cold drink shops on the street, providing a lot of snacks and delicacies, customers can choose and buy according to their different tastes. ”

"I'll take you to see cockfighting, it's a form of entertainment in the Philippines!" Gonzalez said.

The Spaniards brought cockfighting to the Philippines, making cockfighting a favorite form of entertainment for the Filipino people, and the scene was very tragic, with sharp knives tied to the claws of chickens to fight, until the last drop of blood was drained.

To this day, the Philippines is still one of the very few countries in the world that recognizes the legality of cockfighting, and makes cockfighting more exciting and crazy, and many of the folk dances in the Philippines are also performed by imitating the movements of chickens, such as the Salisid dance, in which male and female dancers perform courtship dances as roosters and hens respectively, and the performers of the paragogo dance play the role of hunters and chickens respectively, depicting the scene of hunters fighting against eagles to protect chickens.

Zhou Sen said: "Oh, this may be the entertainment in the Philippines, this kind of cockfighting is too cruel, we rarely see such activities in China, there is no cockfighting anymore, there is a lot of civilization, and young people prefer to play games online!"

"From my personal point of view, I don't like too murderous entertainment, it's too cruel to watch!"

"The Chinese audience may not be able to accept it, if it is in the form of dance, then it is okay, if it is too cruel cockfighting, then it is not acceptable!"

Zhou Sen suggested that Gonzalez should introduce more about dancing, and Gonzalez agreed.

"The Philippines is celebrated throughout the year with a variety of folk dances and is full of ethnic and religious characteristics, the most famous of which is the Feast of the Holy Child. ”

"The Feast of the Holy Child is held on the last Sunday of January every year, when the streets of Manila are filled with people dressed in festive costumes, holding or carrying statues of the Holy Child, cheering and dancing along the streets. ”

The dancers take one step back, take two steps forward, and slowly move forward, very spectacular, the parade of the Holy Child's Day is huge, the procession is several kilometers long, each parade is headed by a richly decorated, different style of floats, people dance to their heart's content behind the floats, there are tattooed, feathered aborigines, there are mestizos in Spanish costumes, and there are American girls in short skirts waving small flags.

"This kind of celebration is still very grand in the Philippines, everyone likes to celebrate the festival, happy and joyful, and there are many people who come to see the excitement!"

The dance is even more varied, gathering various dances such as Spanish dance, aboriginal tribal dance, and country dance, showing the warm, unrestrained and tolerant character of the Filipino people.

"Next, I think we should introduce the Philippine festivals, so that the audience and friends can expect the Philippine festivals. ”

"Okay, I also think it's good to learn about the traditional festivals in the Philippines, the local customs are very good!" Zhou Sen agreed.

"The most famous and crazy festival in the Philippines is this carnival in Kalibo, Panai Island, which lasts for a week and kicks off in the third week of the week. ”

In Boracay, there is also a carnival of this festival, usually held on the white sand beach, when the morning dawns, the locals take part in the procession with the Holy Child in their hands, their faces painted in various colors, and their heads adorned with feathers, and on the last day of the festival, different tribes and clansmen vote for the costumes they wear on them, and this festival is used to thank the efforts of the year and commemorate the peaceful coexistence of the Filipino ancestors and the Malays.

"The Sennuno Festival is the originator of Cebu Island's festivals, and the celebrants dance a unique Sennuno dance with two steps forward, one backward, and repeated, symbolizing the rhythm of the river. ”

"I believe that many Chinese audiences have heard of this festival in the Philippines, but they are not familiar with it, so I will take you to see it next. ”

The festival features one of the most colorful celebrations and historical drama performances in the Philippines, with celebratory populaces dressed in colorful costumes and accompanied by gongs and drums, dancing the traditional Xiannuno dance, which uses two steps to advance and one retreat, and is accompanied by the sound of drums, as the celebrants and devotees dance and shout.

There's also the Flower Festival, and in the last week of February, the streets of the northern mountain town of Baguio come alive with singing, dancing and a grand parade of floats. ”

"Baguio City, Philippines, Baguio is known as the garden city of the North Philippines, rich in flowers, and there will be floats at that time, which is to decorate various floats with flowers, which is very beautiful and spectacular!"

"Residents are dominated by float parades, with a procession dressed in brightly coloured costumes and the Ifgau people dressed in traditional costumes to welcome the spring when a hundred flowers are in full bloom. ”

"The Chinese New Year, which usually falls in late January or early February, is also very popular among some non-Chinese Filipinos, and during the Chinese New Year, Manila has dragon dances, social fires and grand fireworks displays. ”

"There are also some Chinese in the Philippines, and the number of Chinese is still very large, so in the New Year, overseas Chinese also hold a grand celebration, decorating with lanterns, performing dragon dances, tiger dances, and guessing lantern riddles, which is a traditional Chinese festival, and the celebration scene is also very spectacular, and many locals will join in the celebration. ”

Zhou Sen smiled, "We Chinese are very interested in the New Year, this is our traditional Chinese festival, in the eyes of Chinese, the Spring Festival is a festival of family reunion, no matter how busy you are, you will put down your work and return home to reunite with your family." ”

"The Morios Festival, Marinduque's colourful Morios Festival is a week-long art festival of the Crucifixion of Christ, where the streets are filled with masked locals, pretending to duel with swords and playing tricks on pedestrians. ”

Zhou Sen smiled, "How can there be such a weird festival?"

"Hahaha, I know that you Chinese will definitely not accept such a festival, and before you come to the Philippines, you must not have imagined that there will be such a festival, right?" Gonzalez said with a smile.
