The PBB House or Bahay ni Kuya is one of the famous houses in the Philippines. I was in 2nd year college when I met and saw Nene Tamayo in person, after winning the very first PBB title; she was raised in Sta. Fe and I came from Odiongan, a municipality in Romblon. Seeing a Romblomanon on national TV, for the first time, is such an honor, and I want to be the next one.
Maginhawa Street in Quezon City bursts with energy during the Maginhawa Arts & Food Festival, a vibrant celebration of street food, community, and creativity in the heart of the city’s food hub. Stalls line the block offering everything from street eats to gourmet bites, backed by live music, artisan crafts, and festive performances. Even on non‑festival days, diners flock to beloved spots like Friuli Trattoria, Provenciano, Pino Resto Bar, Papa Diddi’s, and Nam Nam for hearty Italian pastas, Filipino classics, velvety ice cream, and Vietnamese noodle soups. With its youthful, laid‑back vibe, the area is a magnet for students, foodies, and culture seekers. Maginhawa represents the best of QC’s culinary scene—affordable, creative, and always Instagram‑ready.
