Three Women

Three women, three very different lives. 

Manila-based contributor Rochit I. Tañedo draws on her valuable experience in community organizing to give us a glimpse of the challenging life of T'boli women of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.

Food expert and PF Correspondent Elizabeth Ann Quirino focuses on Liza Agbanlog, a Vancouver-based food blogger turned cookbook author who shares with us her own recipe for Sinigang na Isda sa Miso, our Happy Home Cook feature of the week. 

From New York, PF Correspondent Serina Aidasani profiles visual artist and poet Monica Ong, who explores her Chinese, Filipino and American lineage through her art and poetry.
