I like to support small businesses like that when going to the provinces. I like carinderia too! I miss PH
What is your hometown in the Philippines?
I grew up in Paranaque City but my province that are very close to my heart is in Batangas and now got a new hometown there which is Tagaytay.
Right, Tagaytay is nice too. My aunt lives in Tagaytay.
