MANILA BEAT

On April 9th in the Philippines, it is known as the Fall of Bataan. We talk about that area's importance during World War II when it was occupied by the Japanese and how that area was protected with Prisoners of War from the Philippine and American militaries.

We talk briefly about the WWII exhibit and how a family made it their mission to preserve and share classic architecture from the Philippines, mainly from the Spanish occupation, and bring them back to life with modern amenities at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar.

We talk about the sushi take home kits and her husband's experience with it and how it's just a fun thing overall that was created during the pandemic.
