PASTILLAS, BROOMS, AND GIANT SPOONS AND FORKS: ADVENTURES IN METRO MANILA AND THE PHILIPPINES
This came to our attention during FVR's time. No idea if it is still being produced. I do recall the great ruckus it raised during that time.
It that the NABISCO brand I see there? The promo edge of this packaging is in Spanish.
I checked Wickipedia and I saw this: Filipinos, in the plural, refers to cookies which are manufactured by Artiach and Nabisco in Spain. Nabisco sold out to United Biscuits Iberia which is owned by United Biscuits UK.
Egad!
Here we will try our best to document snippets of this great city's every day life - its stories, its rumors, its unusual sights and sounds (and smell, if need be!) - things that can easily become tomorrow's urban legends though not necessarily the scary kind.
To a city that has a great past, a colorful present, and an - uhm - unforseeable future, we dedicate the things we have seen and heard in Manila. Once again, welcome and Mabuhay!
WE HEART MANILA. Manila is in the heart. Mabuhay ang Maynila!

Was it even sold here? I've heard about it but never seen one.
I heard about the story a few years ago. Never tasted nor saw one!
Are they still selling it?
In Europe mostly!!! Very weird.
I ate a bunch of Filipinos in southern Spain in 1998. I literally did a double take when I saw them on the shelves at the grocer. Tasty, but very weird. We felt vaguely cannibalistic. I just wish I had saved the wrappers.
i loved that cookie! Me and my sisters ate it all the time when we lived in spain!! I need to know if they still sell them!
