Vegan Fried Food

Watch making a Falafel wrap!

This is a scrumptious Vegan food!

The Falafel could be air fried instead of cooked in oil. 

Five kinds of Vegan bacon.




You could enjoy Vegan bacon with Vegan scrambled eggs, avocado, roasted potatoes and toast for breakfast.

There are many ways to make Vegan chicken (chickun) and Vegan bacon (vacon), Sisig and Longanisa. 

You may buy prepared foods including Vegan shrimp, eggs, tuna fish, hotdogs, sausage and hamburgers in the Philippines. Buy some milk free buns in supermarkets.

There are recipes for making Vegan fish filets, fish fingers using tofu and dried seaweed. A few of the ways to make chicken nuggets are by using cauliflower, tofu or jackfruit and coating them with Panko Breadcrumbs, resulting in very tasty, crispy, crunchy nuggets. Eating without the cruelty.

See some Filipino street foods which are virtually all over the Philippine islands.

My Favorite Vegan Air Fried Foods

   

Fresh fruit is my very favorite food. In the Philippines there are always fruits and vegetables at street vendors. A lot of vegetables are trucked into all areas of Greater Manila and all over the island of Luzon. There is fertile land everywhere on the islands of the Philippines.

Some favorite fruits are shipped in from other countries, Apples, Pears and Oranges from the USA and China.

Bananas and Pineapples are grown in the Philippines. Other fruits which grow in the Philippines include, Jackfruit, Mango, Papaya, Calamansi, Durian and Lanzones.

At our house we grow some Atis (Custard Apple), Magic Fruit (make bitter things taste sweet), Okra, Hot Pepper, Papaya, Mulberries, Calamansi, Sitao (very long string beans) and some medicinal plants like Aloe Vera, Insulin Plant, Hibiscus and Butterfly Pea flowers (good for tea).

Senior Citizen Discounts

Senior Citizen Discounts  

Senior Citizens Discounts

Senior Citizen Discounts

I am an expat permanent resident of the Philippines. Do I qualify for a senior citizen's ID card so that I may receive discounts? NO.

As Filipino citizen of the Philippines, you are eligible to obtain a Senior Citizen ID. Here are the key details you need to know: Age Requirement: To qualify, you must be 60 years old or above. This age criterion is based on the Republic Act 9994, commonly known as the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 20101.

Entitlements and Privileges: 20% Discount: Senior citizens enjoy a 20% discount on certain goods and services. VAT Exemption: They are also exempted from the value-added tax (VAT). These benefits apply to applicable goods and services, and you can pay using either cash or credit card.

Health and Medical Benefits: PhilHealth Coverage: Republic Act No. 10645 mandates mandatory PhilHealth coverage for anyone aged 60 and above. This coverage is provided in addition to the 20% discount and VAT exemption.

In private hospitals, the 20% discount and VAT exemption are deducted first from the medical bill before the PhilHealth benefit is applied. In public hospitals, the No Balance Billing Policy ensures that senior patients no longer need to pay for their hospital bills. Treatments can be availed using the senior citizen ID or any government ID.

How to Obtain a Senior Citizen ID: The Office for Senior Citizens’ Affairs (OSCA) issues the Senior Citizen ID. To avail of the benefits, you’ll need to present a valid passport as proof of age.

Remember, it’s essential to equip yourself with this information so you can provide proper care for your senior relatives and help them assert their rights under the law. And who knows, when you reach your golden years, you’ll be well-prepared to enjoy these privileges too!


Comments by aliens on a video about this subject:

1. "EVERY PUBLIC OFFICE HONORS ALL SENIOR CITIZENS...THE MALLS - AND ALL LEGALLY REQUIRED EVENTS - LTO - IMMIGRATION - MALLS ..."

2. "when I come to the Philippines, I see they have a senior line at the airport and foreigners regularly use it.
same as in the stores. I guess the store can decide to let anyone use the senior line but what about the airport? I asked one of the guys using it and he wasn't married to a Filipina just on a tourist visa."

3. "Many claims that seniors are better treated in the Philippines than in Europe. In my case at least this is NOT TRUE. I have a German disability card granting me many rights in all of Europe though I am citizen of a non-EU country. I am now living in the Philippines and feel treated much worse here than in any EU country as people with senior citizen card, who are younger, in better shape and probably much better health. than me bypass me only because I am not a Filipino. In Europe I was treated much better as a senior. This is an undeniable fact."
