My Vision for the Next Consul General of the Philippine Consulate in Houston: Uniting the Filipino Community in West South Central, Mississippi, and New Mexico

So what traits my next Consul General look like? They would be proactive in creating projects that foster entrepreneurship, connectivity, and community engagement, while remaining uninfluenced by special interest groups or individuals. I envision a leader who is committed to attending events, engaging with various Filipino organizations, and building meaningful relationships with city officials and other consulates in Houston. Someone who honors their RSVP commitments, follows through on promises, and prioritizes the welfare of our people above personal interests. They would embody a grassroots approach, genuinely understanding the struggles and aspirations of Filams, OFWs, and Filipino immigrants. If the next Consul General will prioritize these programs, I have no doubt that it will continue to thrive as a beacon of hope, support, and unity for our vibrant Filipino community in North America.

Indulge in the Rich and Creamy Flavor of Ube Cream Liqueur: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Drink!

After sipping from half a wine glass, I was amazed by its flavor profile. The sweet and earthy notes are perfectly balanced, making it a great addition to any drink or dessert. I tried it neat, on the rocks, and in a cocktail, and each way was a delight. The rich and creamy texture coats your tongue, leaving a subtle nutty aftertaste that leaves you wanting more. I was impressed by how versatile it is – it pairs well with a variety of flavors, from sweet to savory. What I love most about Ube Cream Liqueur is its story. The fact that it’s made from a precolonial root staple crop of the Filipino people and sourced directly from Filipino farmers makes it a true celebration of culture and community. Overall, I highly recommend Ube Cream Liqueur to anyone looking to try something new and exciting. It’s a true delight, and I can’t wait to experiment it out more with pulutan!
