half-day cultural experience begins in the afternoon, offering free

around town. At 3:00 PM, join your host for a Filipino cooking class
focused on two beloved dishes: Adobo, a savory soy-garlic stew,
and Chopsuey, a vibrant vegetable stir-fry. Learn traditional
techniques and how ingredients are sourced locally. You’ll also taste
coconut wine (locally known as tuba), a common drink during
