Thanksgiving in the Philippines? Fact!

Fully expecting an episode exclusively about how their families celebrate Thanksgiving in the US, Carmina and Patch accidentally learn that Thanksgiving in the Philippines was a thing! They briefly touch on the holiday’s origins, the intersection with the first Filipinos they spoke about in the last episode and discuss how and why it was once celebrated nationally in the Philippines. And their conversation wouldn’t be complete without food. They talk about the star of the holiday, the turkey, and a surprising discovery about its arrival in the Philippines. Lastly, they explore how Filipinos can make the typical American Thanksgiving menu their very own. Happy Thanksgiving!
