Click below to sign up. We also received a suggestion to celebrate the shared history of Mexico and the Philippines through the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade and the links between our colonial histories. So, if you're inspired to make Mexican street food, that counts, too! BRAGGING RIGHTS for anyone who can name one of the ways that the Philippines and Mexico influenced each other's food and drink!
