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.
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 millions around the world, the smell of stir-fry or the sound of sizzling dumplings evokes more than just hunger — it stirs memories of family kitchens, street markets, and home. When you’re living abroad, it’s often the little things — the taste of your favorite dish, the rhythm of a family meal — that you miss the most.
At Paysend, we know that staying connected to your roots isn’t just about visits and phone calls — it’s about sharing experiences, traditions, and support. Whether you're recreating your childhood dishes or sending money to loved ones back home, we're here to make those connections easier, faster, and more secure.
Across cities like London, New York and Paris, Asian food is beloved and everywhere. But no matter how good your local spot is, nothing quite compares to the real thing when you're far from home.
One of the biggest misconceptions in international cuisine is the assumption that all Asian food is the same. But there's a world of difference between Chinese and Japanese food — not just in taste, but in culture, ingredients, and preparation.
If you're focused on fitness, lifting weights, or just trying to hit your daily macros, high-protein Indian food might not be the first thing that comes to mind — but it absolutely should be.
Packed with legumes, lentils, whole grains, and versatile vegetarian proteins like paneer and tofu, Indian cuisine offers plenty of smart ways to fuel your body and build muscle with protein — without resorting to grilled chicken and plain rice every day.
Food has a way of keeping us grounded — part of our daily routine, but also something deeper. It brings comfort, culture, and connection into our lives, no matter where we are. From a home-cooked sabzi to a shared recipe passed between friends, the right meal can bring people closer — and sometimes even spark a moment of support, celebration, or care that stretches across borders.
