Mom Violy, Tita Edna and Carmina have never been to Iloilo . Tita Edna suggested using her Philippine Airlines mileage to deduct 9,000 miles for a round trip to Iloilo and pay taxes of about 3,000 pesos ($50.85). Mom Violy and Carmina decided to do the same. Two weeks later, we learned Bacolod was recently hit by a typhoon, leaving fewer places to visit, so we changed our plans to stay in Iloilo, paying an additional 2,057 pesos ($34.86) for January 6–9, with Tita Edna leaving one day earlier on January 8, 2026.  Tita Edna told us that she has a friend Beth who can pick us up from the airport.

Yogurt


There are sometimes you don’t feel like eating Filipino food for breakfast and want to eat something light that you use to eat back home in California. I came across in the grocery store selling Yoplait yogurt that I use to eat.


The flavors available are Mixed Berries and Mango flavor made from Australia. It is available 1 Kilo Gram or individual size. I would rather buy the pint size when you calculate you get the most out of it.

I was able to buy the Yoplait at Shopwise and Uni Mart Grocery Store available in the Philippines.

One time I was eating yogurt for breakfast and Ruth said, someone is crazy to eat ice-cream in the morning. I laughed and told her I am not crazy. That is not ice-cream that is yogurt.

Ruth had no clue yogurt some in a bigger container. She only knows the individual serving that my father in-law eats. His brand is the local made in the Nestle Philippines.
We also have Zottis yogurt coming from Germany. Yann says's this brand is also good.
We have a variety of brands to choose from and never get tired.
Sometimes I would add oats or fruits in my yogurt I found this online.

My dad calls adding oats and grains in your yogurt is called, parfait.
