PASTILLAS DE LECHE originated from San Miguel and Bulacan. Its manufacture spread to Cagayan and Masbate provinces.

The milk and sugar are boiled together until thickened, then cooled and formed by hand into little mini-logs that are often rolled in more granulated sugar before they are individually packed in cellophane and paper.

In almost all private, commercial establishments (hotels, banks, malls, restos, etc.) anywhere in the country, the main entrances are manned by private security personnel. Their uniforms are very typical: white or dark blue shirt (with or without a tie), dark blue pants, with a sidearm and nightstick on the belt plus a cap similar to that of policemen. Upon entering major shopping malls, expect to go through separate lines for men and women and have your bags checked or scanned with a portable metal detector. With men, they usually make it a point to grope the back of your waist to check if you have a pistol tucked behind you. It's really a cursory way of inspecting for guns or bombs...a determined and smart would-be terrorist can easily beat the system. But the locals have grown used to it and don't give it much thought.
the act of "mano po" is taking an elder's hand, bowing down and touching it with your forehead while saying "mano po." the elder would then say "bless you." it's a traditional way of greeting the elders.
filipinos often add the word "po" (poh) in the end of their sentences when talking to other persons, especially the elders, as a sign of respect. "Opo" means yes. It also wouldn't hurt to say "Manang" for women or "Manong" for men as titles when speaking respectfully to strangers - cab drivers, vendors, etc.
