Great post @purepinay! I go to the Philippines periodically, and have lived there for extended periods of time. My wife and I own a house there, and we just left. We'll be back there before you know it though.
Ironically, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes while living there.
Prior to going there initially, I was a very healthy eater, but I just couldn't seem to resist all the wonderful sweets, cakes, and of course chocolate while there. Also a favorite of mine was coke floats, and chicken & spaghetti at Jollibee! hahaha...
I actually gained about 50lbs my first visit. I have since reformed my eating habits, and I'm back on track now.
Thanks again for your post, and I hope you have a very prosperous 2018!
More Power!
Sincerely,
