Accel World X When I Look At You
So Miley Cyrus' song "When I Look At You" is trending on Social Media. The When I Look at You Challenge is making the social media active. The Challenge consists of singing the song while laying down. All I'm hearing in the newsfeed is that song so I accepted the challenge but in a Anime Music Video in my Youtube Channel titled "ACCEL WORLD X WHEN I LOOK AT YOU".
Before making the video, I read the lyrics to know what anime I'll feature. The anime I came up with was Accel World because the lyrics says it all. This anime features Arita Haruyuki who is a fat boy that is always being bullied. His life changed when he met Kuroba Yukiko. This is a story of technological world where the focus is in the AR(Augmented Reality) technology.

I Want To Eat Your Pancreas Live-Action Movie
At the beginning of the movie, I already felt that my heart's starting to beat so fast and gave me a goosebumps just like the animated movie. The live-action movie was released first before the animated series from 2017 and 2018 respectively. There are some little difference but all in all the live-action and the anime are closely to perfect
In the anime Sakura Yamauchi danced in the hospital to shrug off her worries. She was beautifully shocked there when Haruki Shiga saw her dancing
I was expecting that Minami Hamabe will also dance but didn't
All in all I love both characters, I wish I'm Haruki Shiga even it's so heartbreaking to see them die and wishing to turn back time and save Sakura Yamauchi from that serial killer who ended her life and spend all my life until her pancreas worns out 😭😭😭
I Want To Eat Your Pancreas X Before You Go
As I make this YouTube video I WANT TO EAT YOUR PANCREAS X BEFORE YOU GO, my heart is aching because of the movie I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. I know that the girl Sakura Yamauchi will pass away but as I watched it thoroughly I was shocked that her death isn't because of her pancreatic illness but was stabbed to end her life. She died in a wrong place at a wrong time when Haruki Shiga starts to fall in love with her. So in this video I chose Lewis Capaldi's song Before You Go in order for me to express my feelings with the movie. As I make this video my heart can't stop beating as it's going to explode my sorrow
https://youtu.be/WsoQ1Jie-tI
As I found out that there was a Live-Action movie that will be my next in my list and compare the difference of the Live-Action Movie to the Animated Movie on my next post

I Want To Eat Your Pancreas made my heart ache. Currently writing this, I can still feel the pain in my chest making my eyes a little bit teary. Fortunately I held back my tears when I watched this but my eyes are still watery until now.
I don't usually cry whenever I watch anything just no reaction or whatever. Before I watched this movie, I know that the character here will die. But as I start watching it, the chemistry of the two protagonist was amazing and i felt butterflies in my stomach. As the story goes Haruki Shiga fell in love with Sakura Yamauchi
Haruki Shiga met Sakura Yamauchi in the hospital when he found his diary titled "Living With Dying" because Sakura has a pancreatic disease. Haruki spent his time with Sakura until one day she was hospitalized.
When she was released from the hospital they wanted to meet each other but Sakura didn't come. As the night goes, a news appeared in the TV that there was a girl who was stabbed and Haruki's world fell because it was Sakura who was killed.
That time my heart started to ache more until I made a YouTube video that I will post an article about it later.

Nisekoi Live Action
Years ago, the anime Nisekoi was released. The anime had 2 seasons but the story wasn't finished. The manga was already finished but I still waited for the anime to finish the story.
Around 2018, they finished the story in a live action movie. So what I did, I started to re-watch the series in order to proceed to the movie and I just finished the series last August 20, Thursday.
Yesterday, August 21, I transfered the file into my flash drive and plugged it on our smart tv for bigger screen purposes. The storyline in the movie is different with the anime. There are scenes that were different. There are scenes that were not included. It's just that its a little bit cringey 😅😅😅 but I still experienced butterflies because some of the scenes were accurate
In the end the promised girl was Kosaki Onodera my crush in the story 😍😍😍 but in the end it was Chitoge who was chosen
Kosaki Onodera
Chitoge Kirisaki
Raku Ichijou
KissAnime Tribute X Hold Me While You Wait
I made a video in my YouTube channel for a tribute for the shutdown of the KissAnime Website titled KISSANIME TRIBUTE X HOLD ME WHILE YOU WAIT. It saddens me because it became a part of my life.
As an Otaku, Japan is like my second country, where my anime world is. Now Japan is starting to close its doors on the anime world for people who can't afford to subscribe specific amount of money for their works.
2020 is the most worst year in our lives. It took the most precious memory we were cherishing. This COVID was the cause of all the bad memories we were currently experiencing. That's why the anime creators were also suffering that they're also underpaid because of this pandemic so they revised a strict copyright law that will start next year
I wish we could turn back the time where COVID was not yet discovered and try to prevent it from happening so we could live in a peaceful world where there's no discrimination, death, and everything that is negative to our mother earth.

Zawsze In Love X I Like You So Much You'll Know It
I just finished the 4th video in my YouTube channel titled ZAWSZE IN LOVE X I LIKE YOU SO MUCH YOU'LL KNOW IT.
Zawsze In Love is a phrase in the anime Nisekoi. This phrase was used as a promise phrase by Raku Ichijou and her promised girl. Zawsze is Polish for "always." So it's something along the lines of "always in love.
I used Ysabelle Cuevas' cover song I Like You So Much You'll Know It. This song is originally a Chinese song translated to English. I used this song because it matches how Chitoge Kirisaki and Ichijou Raku love works. Their parents, who were a Yakuza and a Gang Leader, are long time friends and want their children to become partners to stop the riot between the members of the Yakuza and Beehive Gang. At first their relationship were fake. Their false love developed further as they learned to love each other.

Ninjavan Story
January, I installed Shopee App in my new phone and made a new account.
Last July, My sister want to buy Staedtler pencils for her drawings. She wanted a discount so she asked me if I made any purchase on the app so I also added to cart a 64GB OTG Type C USB. Sadly, the voucher isn't compatible for her products so she switched to Lazada App.
We placed the order July 23. Because of the J&T issue, I changed my courier to Ninjavan.
I posted an article about the J&T issue
https://read.cash/@PatrickDG/duterte-wants-probe-into-jt-express-mishandling-e44f5b74
My sister's orders came early. As time comes, She already made several but still my order's still out there.
I tried to track my parcel in their website and saw why my parcel was delayed. It was because of the MECQ Protocol. I Also tracked using their Ninjavan Chatbot in messenger and saw that it was on hold.
August 12, I tried their feature, Chat with an agent and they responded. The agent apologized and said that they will follow up my parcel.
August 13, I was shocked because the Shopee App automatically cancelled the order and was marked as a lost item and it was because of the delay. It was delayed more than 3 weeks.
August 14, An agent chatted me again for the second time that my order is in our location hub and said that my parcel will arrive August 15. Now I asked a question in a FB group for vouchers about the marked as lost issue because it was my first time experiencing it. Luckily, someone answered my post and adviced me to still get it. As the day go by even it was cancelled, still the system updates the delivery.
August 15, the day my parcel arrived, the delivery man called me and asked my location. When I got the parcel I checked the App and it was updated that the parcel was delivered even though it was cancelled 😂😂😂
NOW I CAN'T RATE THE SERVICE OF THE NINJAVAN COURIER BECAUSE IT WAS CANCELLED IN THE APP. I'LL RATE THEM ZERO IF POSSIBLE 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Onodera X Someone You Loved
ONODERA X SOMEONE YOU LOVED is my third YouTube video in my channel. Kosaki Onodera is a character in Nisekoi who is secretly in loved with Ichijou Raku. Raku is also secretly in loved with her but they can't express their feelings with each other. When Raku was a child, he promised to a girl with his love but doesnt recall its face. Raku exchanged things to that girl with a key that will open his locket. He is hoping that Onodera is the one but actually, the real promised girl was Kirisaki Chitoge. There were 3 keys, one each from Chitoge and Onodera and the last was from Mari.
I used Lewis Capaldi's song Somsone You Loved because it matches how Onodera was deeply in loved with Raku at the same time Raku was also in loved with her but there comes Chitoge which git the attention of Raku.

When she was little, she became an experiment. Hiro helped her escaped, they shared memories until they captured and erased their memories.
I used Maximillian's song, Beautiful Scars because it matches the anime how zero two was hurt, her original form, her erased memories until such time they meet again when they grew up.

MLBB Ban Rumors Causes Scare Among Filipino Players
Posts by popular social media pages which said that Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will be banned in the Philippines from September 5 caused a scare among players in the country. However there are no official sources where a mention of any ban on MLBB has been found. In fact, some of these pages have come out and said that it was a prank.
Raffy Tulfo Talks About MLBB Concerns
Some sources have cited broadcast personality Raffy Tulfo’s comments as a source, but we could not confirm this. The 60-year old recently aired concerns regarding the game on his weekly show Wanted Sa Radyo but his comments seem to come from a different place. Reacting to the story of a couple where the wife accused the husband of domestic abuse due to her excessive Mobile Legends habit, Tuflo said that there certainly some concerns regarding cases of depression, suicide and other negative health effects related to being addicted to the game. He also mentioned that the government should conduct studies on the game to better understand problems associated with it. However, Tulfo also made note of the fact that the game had helped a lot of people and brought a lot of joy and fortune onto them.

Some popular social media pages began sharing posts that the game will be banned in the Philippines from September 5 and the posts have been shared and reacted to quite a bit. One thing led to another and it caused concerns among the Philippines player base whether the game will be banned in the country. As we mentioned earlier, this was revealed to be a prank and there is no official statement or source confirming this news.
**MLBB Banned in India Last Month**
A few weeks ago, Mobile Legends was banned in India along with 58 other Chinese apps following security concerns. Worsening political and military relations between China and India has led to the latter cracking down Chinese tech companies and products operating in the subcontinent. While Mobile Legends continues to be banned in the country the game has released a statement that they are working with the Indian Government to find a solution. However it's been over a month since the game has been banned and there has been updates since then.
Ivana Alawi poses topless to celebrate 8 million subscribers on YouTube
MANILA -- She's not one to shy away from baring on social media.
And true to this bold, confident personality of hers, Ivana Alawi posed topless for fans to celebrate reaching a YouTube milestone.
The actress and vlogger set pulses racing this Friday by sharing a picture, from celebrity photographer BJ Pascual, after her YouTube channel broke the 8-million subscribers mark.
Alawi rose to fame mainly thanks to her YouTube channel.
She delved into acting with the drama series "Sino Ang May Sala?" and was slated to star in her first teleserye as a lead in "Ligaya," prior to the lockdown caused by the spread of COVID-19.
Alawi also tried her hand in music, releasing her first music video last month for her single, "Sana All."
https://youtu.be/ouQ4E9WDO10
In February, Alawi signed an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN. She reached 7 million subscribers on YouTube in June.
Ex-Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim dies at 90
Former Manila City Mayor Alfredo Lim passed away on Saturday afternoon, his daughter Cynthia Lim confirmed. He was 90.
"[M]y father died at 4:30 pm, August 8, Manila time," she informed CNN Philippines in a message.
This comes just a day after incumbent Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso announced that Lim had contracted the coronavirus disease.
In a video message, Moreno remembered his predecessor, noting the projects and programs he left behind in Manila, such as the Unibersidad ng Maynila and the Sta. Ana Hospital.
"*Patuloy na pinakikinabangan ng mga batang Maynila ang mga programa at proyekto ng minamahal nating mayor*," he said .
[Translation: The youth of Manila continue to benefit from the programs and projects of our beloved mayor.]
Moreno said the local government briefly turned off the lights of the city clock tower as a gesture of respect.
Lim was elected mayor of Manila in 1992 and was reelected in 1995. He also served as Interior Secretary from 2000 to 2001 and voted Senator in 2004.
He also became the Director of the National Bureau of Investigation in 1992. Lim was also a Superintendent of the Philippine National Police Academy and the Director of the Western Police District and retired as Major General.
In 1998, Lim also ran for president under the Liberal Party but the position went to Joseph Estrada.
Estrada paid his respects to Lim.
"*Magkatunggali man kami sa pulitika, alam ko na iisa lang ang aming hangarin, ang aming hangarin, ang mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang mahihirap nating mga kababayan lalo na ang Masang Manilenyo*," he said on his Facebook account.
[Translation: We may have competed against each other in politics, but I know we had the same desire - to give a good life to the poor especially the people of Manila.]

Malacañang also honored the memory of the former mayor.
"The nation, particularly the City of Manila, remembers Mayor Lim for his tough stance against criminality and drugs," said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in a statement.
Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan, Lim's political party during the mayoral polls last year, also offered condolences to Lim's family.
Face Shield
All passengers using any mode of public transportation will be required to wear face shields, aside from face masks, effective 15 August 2020, as mandated by the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
In a Memorandum Circular released on 04 August 2020, the DOTr, through its Administrative Service, has ordered all officials and heads of its various transportation sectors to enjoin, within their respective jurisdictions, the mandatory wearing of face shields for all passengers in areas where public transportation is allowed.
The initiative aims to further reduce the risk of transmitting the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in public transport facilities as health authorities have pointed out that the use of face shields and masks reduces exposure to and emission of respiratory droplets considerably.
“Sa mga kababayan ’ho natin, huwag sana nating isipin na panibagong gastusin o dagdag abala ang pag-require natin sa paggamit ng face shield. Let us remember that no amount of protection is too much when it comes to health and safety, especially that we are battling an invisible enemy. What we are addressing is not a transport issue but rather a health issue. Kaya nga ‘ho hinihingi ko ang kooperasyon ng bawat isa,” DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade said.
The directive applies to all public transportation throughout the country, involving the Aviation and Airports, Railways, Road, and Maritime sectors.
“Ipatutupad po natin ang mandatong ito sa lahat ng pampublikong sasakyan tulad ng sa mga tren, bus, jeepney, taxi, passengers vessels at maging sa eroplano. I will not elaborate more on the practical benefits the face shield offers, but we know that the use of face coverings and masks for superior protection is adopted widely,” DOTr Undersecretary for Administrative Affairs Artemio Tuazon Jr. stressed.
Further, Usec. Tuazon clarifies that the face shield to be used should sufficiently cover the nose and mouth.
“Mayroon po kasing mga tinatawag na visor, goggles, o ‘yung iba pang protective eyewear that only encloses the eye area. We advise that our passengers use the ones that cover the whole face. It’s actually meant as a redundancy of the protection of the face mask,” Usec. Tuazon adds.
Meanwhile, stringent preventive measures are still in effect to contain the spread of COVID-19 in all public transport facilities. These include the mandatory wearing of face mask, strict enforcement of the social distancing measure, and handwashing or hand sanitizing. Talking and using mobile phones are likewise discouraged inside all public transportation.
New Pokémon game is a MOBA for Switch and mobile
The Pokémon Company announced a new title, Pokémon Unite, a multiplayer online battle arena game made in partnership with Tencent.
The game is a five-on-five fairly traditional-looking MOBA for Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. Players run around a symmetrical map with each team having a base on each side. You’ll be tasked with catching Pokémon, which you can do by standing on certain capture points, as well as taking down your enemies using your Pokémon’s moves.
Players can choose from a handful of different Pokémon that have various combat skills. Snorlax, Pikachu, Talonflame, Machamp, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Clefairy, Gengar, and Lucario were shown on stream, but there may be more Pokémon added in the future.
The game is cross-platform, so players on mobile devices will be able to queue up and play with friends playing on their Nintendo Switches. No release date was announced.
Tencent and The Pokémon Company announced their partnership in July 2019. Tencent is known for Honor of Kings, a mobile MOBA that’s extremely popular in China, as well as holding a large stake in Riot Games, the studio behind League of Legends. A Pokémon MOBA does seem like the right combination when you mix the two companies together.

Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Existing nuclear arms control deals are dead or dying, but that should not be an excuse to give up disarmament hopes.
Seventy-five years after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki put beyond argument that nuclear weapons are the most indiscriminately inhumane ever devised, the distressing reality is that the risk of nuclear catastrophe is as great as it has ever been, and the goal – shared by all members of the Asia-Pacific Leadership Network for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (APLN) – of achieving their elimination from the face of the earth is as far from achievement as it has ever been.
Existing nuclear arms control agreements are dead or dying. There is no prospect whatever of any nuclear armed state joining the Nuclear Ban Treaty. There has been no progress on moderating the salience of nuclear weapons in strategic doctrines. There have been no advances on “no first use”, “negative security assurances”, “de-alerting” or serious stockpile reduction – all long-standing goals of APLN. Hopes of progress on denuclearising the Korean Peninsula have stalled, and all six nuclear-armed states in the Asia-Pacific region are increasing their nuclear profile.
**So long as any state has nuclear weapons, others will want them, and so long as any nuclear weapons remain, they are bound one day to be used.**
No action on disarmament by the nuclear weapons states means that commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) remains fragile, and efforts to strengthen it impossible. The reality remains, as stated over the decades by successive international commissions, that so long as any state has nuclear weapons, others will want them, and so long as any nuclear weapons remain, they are bound one day to be used, by accident or misadventure, if not by design. Any such use would be catastrophic for life on this planet as we know it.
Making progress on nuclear disarmament is a slow, grinding, frustrating, unrewarding process, but it is an effort that must continue, for the survival of humanity depends on it. The nuclear threat, like the two other existential threats to life as we know it the world faces – climate change and global pandemics – can only be overcome through serious, sustained, intelligent international cooperation.
The indispensable ingredient in meeting all these existential challenges is effective, principled political leadership. On the nuclear threat, that leadership could most immediately be shown by the heads of the three major nuclear powers – the United States, Russia and China – each committing themselves to a serious resumption of nuclear arms control negotiations at all relevant bilateral and multilateral levels, and restating what Presidents Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev so profoundly and relevantly articulated 35 years ago:
A nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought.
While the immediate environment for such commitment is desolate, it is important to stay optimistic, and work for change – however incremental – as we at APLN continue to do. Lessons are sometimes learned, pendulums do swing, wheels do turn, and Presidents and Prime Ministers do change.
US President Barack Obama spoke in Hiroshima in 2016 of us choosing “a future in which Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known not as the dawn of atomic warfare, but as the start of our own moral awakening”. It is crucial to keep the memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki alive, and to keep alive the idea that out of their ashes 75 years ago a better and more humane world can indeed grow.
Argue With My Uncle
An argue with my uncle happened last year. I was sitting in my chair playing a game called Archero in my smartphone when my grandmother asked what time it is.
I suddenly paused the game and see the time and it was 14:00.
My uncle corrected me that it was 15:00. I was sure the time i said was right, still I double checked it and I was right. I fought what was right because my grandma was waiting for a television series. Note that I didn't know that my uncle was drunk.
I came inside the house and also double checked the wal clock and it was 14:00 so I brought the clock outside and make sure that they will see that the time I said was right.
He got angry then. He threw his rolex watch and nearly hit me. He got up and walk closely to me. I thought he was going to see the clock if the time is right. When he was in front of me, he raised his walking cane and smashed the clock. I was a bit shocked back there and threw the wrecked clock. But that doesnt stopped there. Now he want to hit me with his cane. He was old and a drunk addict so I stopped his cane midway and tried to steal his cane from him and eventually I pinned him down in a sofa.
My relatives rushed to the scene and helped me escaped because they know what his attitude is. As I escaped, he was still finding me and brought his katana with him. I stayed hiding in our house all day. When days past, he saw me but nothing happened because he forgot what happened because he was a drunken addict. He tends to drink alcohol like a water everyday.

FAST FACTS: The 1990 Luzon Earthquake
*July 16, 2020 marks the 30th year since the 1990 Luzon earthquake*
MANILA, Philippines – July 16, 2020 marks the 30th year since the 1990 Luzon earthquake.
Located within the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, the Philippines has had its share of earthquakes with varying magnitude. Sometimes, these earthquakes are more minor and even go unnoticed.
The earthquake that hit the island of Luzon in 1990 was no such case. Recorded at magnitude 7.8, the quake caused major damage to surrounding cities and claimed the lives of thousands.
Thirty years later, we look at the effects of the 1990 Luzon earthquake and the lessons learned.
**Which areas were affected?**
The 1990 earthquake occured at 4:26 pm and the shaking lasted for about 45 seconds.
The earthquake hit Northern and Central Luzon. Its epicenter was pinpointed at Nueva Ecija, with the most affected areas being the cities of Baguio, Cabanatuan in Nueva Ecija, and Dagupan in Pangasinan.
**How many were the casualties? What were the damages?**
An estimated 2,412 lives were lost during that day. Thousands were injured.
According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), "hundreds of thousands" of landslides were also recorded throughout Northern and Central Luzon. Other areas were subjected to liquefaction, which can cause sinkholes to form, particularly in the provinces of Tarlac, Pangasinan, and La Union.
Baguio suffered extensive damage to its buildings. Notably, structures including the Hyatt Terraces Plaza, Nevada Hotel, Baguio Hilltop Hotel, Baguio Park Hotel, and FRB Hotel were reduced to rubble and many people were buried alive.
In all, it was estimated that the earthquake left a staggering US$369-million worth of damage in its wake.
**What lessons have we learned and what should we do now?**
A Rappler story published in 2014 detailed the lessons learned from the 1990 earthquake, as explained by then Phivolcs officer-in-charge Renato Solidum.
One major lesson learned from this devastating event is the necessity for nationwide preparation.
It is now much more common for schools and work-places to conduct earthquake drills. In fact, in February 2019, the country held its 1st Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill, led by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
The earthquake was also a wake-up-call for the government and other organizations to ensure that proper protocols are implemented in urban planning and construction. This includes ensuring that building codes are followed, and that buildings are not constructed in high-risk areas such as those that are prone to landslides or liquefaction.
As individuals, we also have a responsibility to be prepared. Emergency plans and supplies are just some of the ways households can prepare for the inevitable.
A tragic part of our history, the 1990 Luzon earthquake highlighted the importance of taking into heart the lessons learned. More importantly, we need to do what we can to be aware and proactive about ensuring we are equipped for the potential hazards we may face in light of future natural disasters.
Dagupan City
Home of the tastiest milkfish in the world and Birthplace of Philippine Modern Art & National Artist VICTORIO EDADES
Dagupan City was originally named Bacnotan by the Augustinian missionaries a few years after the establishment of the Spanish encomienda in Pangasinan in 1583. In 1660, Andres Malong, a local chieftain, led a revolt against the Spaniards for imposing forced labor. After the revolt, the people rebuilt the town. To commemorate the gathering forces under Malong, the place was renamed to “Nandaragupan” which means “where people meet”. In 1780, the name of the town was simplified to Dagupan, followed by the end of Spanish rule in July 23, 1898 when the Spanish troops surrendered to the Katipunan leader, General Francisco Makabulos.
The first civil government was established in February 16, 1901 with the holding of the first elections through “viva voce”.
Dagupan became a city on June 20, 1947 by virtue of Republic Act No. 170, a law known as the City Charter of Dagupan.

When Houston Rockets star James Harden arrived at the NBA “bubble” just under two weeks ago, he quickly and unknowingly created a controversy with his choice of a large facial covering.
While “The Beard” was trying to follow the league’s safety protocols and prevent the spread of COVID-19, he didn’t realize that the blue mask he had acquired also carried some political symbolism.
After the backlash on social media, Harden was asked the next day whether he knew that meaning. He responded:
No. I just felt like it was something that covered my whole face, and the beard. I thought it looked cool, that was it.
Specifically, his face covering included a thin blue line, which has become known as a symbol representing the Blue Lives Matter organization. Critics have claimed that the pro-police symbol also stands for white supremacy and opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement.
After Sunday’s scrimmage victory by the Rockets, Harden did his postgame interviews in a standard and very uncontroversial black mask, without any logo. On the other hand, it certainly wasn’t as form-fitting.
As many users on Twitter figured out, Harden wasn’t exaggerating when he described the challenges of finding a mask that covered his whole face, and the large beard.
Gordon Ramsay picks Pork Adobo burger in US show
British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay chose the Filipino-style burger in a cook-off featured on US TV’s “Good Morning America.”
Ramsay was asked to judge the best tasting burger – between a Double Stacked Bison and Chorizo Burger, and a Pork Adobo burger – prepared by viewers of the show for the “Battle ofthe Burgers” segment.
After sampling the burgers, Ramsay said “I’m going with the Filipino burger.”
The popular TV personality chose the Pork Adobo burger made by Maura Hohman, a 25-year old New Yorker who was introduced by the hosts as a lover of Italian and Filipino food.
The winning recipe included grinding bacon into the patty, while adding the basic adobo ingredients of vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves, and lots of garlic.
“It’s seasoned beautifully,” Ramsay praised the Pinoy-style burger.
Ramsay even noted the bun used was the Filipino bread, pan de sal.
“And the bun, that’s a traditional Filipino bread. It’s delicious.”

Starting Life in Another World
If given a chance to live in the world of anime, I'll take that oppprtunity.
I would like to visit Rem. She is a maid working for Roswaal.
She also has a twin named Ram, who is also a maid.
She is also in love with Subaru Natsuki but he loves Emilia.
Rem is a good character. She still loves Subaru even though she was rejected. She needs to be loved. So if taken a chance I'll go there and love her.
