Hi, I'm the Founder of Philippine Books
I’m passionate about sharing Filipino culture. I hosted a social dining experience called Filipino Food Crawl (hosted over 600 guests, featured in BuzzFeed and Food Insider) which I then reimagined into an online Filipino bookstore due to the pandemic.
Before moving to the US, I was on my way to becoming a Philippine diplomat. Plans changed so that career path didn’t pan out, but my love to promote and represent the Philippines still remained. My desire to pursue this passion is what led me to create this passion project.
I no longer host Filipino food tours, but if you would like to learn more about it, you can do so here: BuzzFeed, Food Insider, and blogs/newsletters.
I’d love to hear from you.
