Puto-maya
Puto-maya is one of the most favorite morning snacks among Filipinos. It is made of sticky rice, coconut milk, strips of ginger (for a nice aroma), salt, and white sugar. This is usually eaten with ripe mangoes and hot chocolate.
Between life and death in construction works
See those three tiny dots? They are men working on one of the buildings in Cebu I.T. Park (specifically the Skyrise building). When I saw this view, I couldn't help myself, but stopped out of awe and curiosity. These people who worked in the construction industry doing dangerous tasks such as this are quite exceptional to me. They are the ones who do risky works and yet one of those who received the lowest compensation. One time, when the jeepney where I was on passed by this building, I intently looked to see the safety gears used by these working men. I saw a rope being tied on their waists anchored from the top of the building. These small sticks in parallel (most probably made of bamboo) hold their weight as they are suspended with a rope.
As you can see on the third picture, there were also men working at the bottom part of the building.

Public Utility Jeepneys
Jeepneys are the most common public transportation in PH. Fixed fare is administered for every corresponding distance. PUJ's in big cities like Cebu and Manila have a fair matrix posted inside the vehicle for commuter's reference on how much they have to pay for fare depending on the distance of their destination. By the time I post this, the minimum jeepney fare in Cebu is 8Php.
