Because of this diversity, many communities use their local language or regional variety in everyday life, while Filipino and English are also widely used for communication, education, business, and other settings.
Chismis is a Filipino term for gossip or rumors about other people’s lives. Derived from the Spanish word chisme, it is common in everyday interactions among friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and communities—not just celebrities.
Word of the day! Alapaap — directly translated as “clouds” or “sky,” and poetically refers to the vast, dreamy expanse above the earth where the clouds seem to touch the heavens.

WAIT… THAT’S NOT TOMATO KETCHUP? 👀🍌
Yep. Banana ketchup is proudly Filipino. 🇵🇭
Before you put it on your fries, chicken, or spaghetti, here’s a little piece of Philippine food history:
