No, the Philippines doesn’t widely celebrate Thanksgiving Day. If they do celebrate it, they’d likely have lechon, a spit-roasted suckling pig. But when I went to the village in Kalinga, I happened upon a turkey farm. It was a welcoming anomaly for a tropical archipelago nation.

my complete filipino pathologic (PHathologic) au! design notes + farkhad below

note: my AU is mostly northern luzon based, probably somewhere in modern-day baguio or around that area. this was mostly just a self-indulgent design project so i played around with a lot of historical aspects that are not accurate so apologies for any mistakes on my end :P

also these were done in early 2023 and i lost the drive to do the other characters. if i have time again i might draw them and add them to this post :)

December 4, 2024 - Luzon Hornbill or Luzon Tarictic Hornbill (Penelopides manillae) These hornbills are found in rainforests and forests near rivers, as well as fruiting trees in grasslands, in the northern Philippines. They feed on fruit, especially figs, along with insects, small vertebrates, and eggs, foraging in groups of as many as 15 birds. Breeding from March to April, they nest in natural tree cavities. Females incubate the eggs while the males bring them food.

10 uncommon words in iloccano

Ilocano, or Ilokano, is a language that mainly originates from the Philippines' northern region. It is one of the country's predominant languages, particularly in the Ilocos Region (which is in the northwestern region of Luzon), and it ranks as the Philippines' third most spoken language.

The term "Ilocano" is derived from the term "iloc" which in the native tongue means "coast" or "shore." It is named after the place where the original speakers of the language resided along the western coast of Luzon. Ilocano speakers eventually branched out to other places, and today it is spoken by millions of individuals not just in the Philippines but also by Ilocano people overseas.

Around Baguio--high in the Cordillera Mountain range of Northern Luzon in the Philippines--including some shots from our balcony, the local mall, and friends' houses, plus some Jeepneys, and the little creek that flows through the suburb of Scout Barrio. It's not ALL this pretty, of course--many of the buildings look run-down (as you can see in the pic with the Jeepneys), and Baguio is definitely overcrowded--but there are indeed lots of trees, and plenty of beauty to be had if you look around.
