If the topic is cheese, Filipinos don’t even hesitate. Kesong puti agad. And if there’s one place giving it its spotlight, it’s Santa Cruz.

I got to join an overnight trip for the Kesong Puti Festival and it really hits different seeing how locals turn this simple white cheese into so many creative dishes and drinks. From savory plates to sweet surprises, cafés and restaurants showed just how versatile kesong puti can be.

We also caught the Kalabaw Parade which gives so much meaning to every bite, since it honors the hardworking carabao behind the milk.

On top of that, the Slow Food movement in the area makes you appreciate not just the food, but the culture and people behind it.

Kesong puti is not just a cheese, it is a whole experience.

HOORAY FOR AFFORDABLE TRAVEL!!!

AirAsia Philippines assures the travelling public that it remains fully operational, with flights and services continuing as scheduled across its network, subject to normal operational considerations such as weather and other standard factors affecting airline operations.

AirAsia Group views coordinated and sensationalised reports as part of a deliberate smear campaign that has long been occurring aimed at undermining fair competition in the Philippine aviation sector. Such narratives serve only the interests of those seeking to limit consumer choice and create conditions that could lead to a monopoly in the market. A monopoly benefits no one except dominant market players. For travellers, it often results in reduced competition, fewer choices and significantly higher airfares.

Tony Fernandes, Co-founder and Advisor of AirAsia Group said: “AirAsia has long championed affordable travel and will continue to stand firmly against any development that harms consumers or restricts access to air connectivity. AirAsia carries almost seven million guests in the Philippines annually and our commitment to the Philippines is absolute. We are deeply invested in the country, its people and its future. For over a decade, we have played a key role in democratising air travel, making flying accessible to millions of Filipinos who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to travel by air.
