When is the midterm election in the Philippines?
The 2025 Philippine midterm elections will take place on Monday, 13 May 2025.
Every three years, Filipinos head to the polls for national and local elections — and midterms are a key moment in the country’s democratic cycle. In 2025, voters will elect over 18,000 officials, including 12 Senators, the entire House of Representatives, and thousands of local government leaders.
If you’re living gluten-free — whether due to coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or simply personal choice — Mexican food might just be your new best friend. Gluten-free Mexican food includes traditional dishes made with corn-based ingredients like corn tortillas (not flour ones), tamales, rice, beans, grilled meats, fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked stews. When made with care and authentic ingredients, many Mexican dishes are naturally gluten-free and packed with bold, vibrant flavour.
Indian food is loved around the world for its bold spices, comforting curries and rich textures. But if you're dairy intolerant or lactose sensitive, some traditional dishes can feel off-limits — especially when ingredients like ghee, cream, yoghurt and paneer take centre stage. Thankfully, dairy-free Indian food is not only possible — it’s delicious. Many popular dishes like chana masala, aloo gobi, dal tadka, vegetable biryani and roti are naturally dairy-free or can easily be adapted. With a few smart swaps, you can enjoy all the flavour of Indian cuisine without the dairy.
If you move away from home, it’s often the little things that stay with you — the comforting smell of spices in a warm kitchen, or the first bite of a dish that reminds you of family and celebration. Food has a way of connecting us to where we come from, even when we’re far away.
For many people living abroad, staying connected means more than just a phone call — it’s the small rituals that bring comfort, like cooking a familiar meal or helping out back home when you can. Whether it’s a recipe passed down through generations or a quick money transfer to support family, those gestures keep us close.
While you dust off your Eurovision 2024 scorecard to check how the countries ranked, one thing’s for sure: Eurovision continues to bring people together like no other event. Whether you're comparing the wildest outfits or rewatching your favorites on YouTube, the Eurovision Song Contest is a yearly celebration of unity, sequins, and sometimes… surprisingly catchy tunes.
Every May, Europe turns up the volume, grabs the glitter, and settles in for one of the continent’s most iconic traditions: Eurovision. Since 1956, the contest has been bringing together countries from across Europe – and beyond – to celebrate music, culture, and a little friendly competition.
But Eurovision is about more than just key changes and pyrotechnics. It’s about connection. Families and friends cheering for their home country from opposite sides of the globe. Expats tuning in from afar. A shared moment that brings people closer, wherever they live.
Sound familiar? We think so too.
