We started Manila Sun with the simple premise that people want to learn more about Filipino food and culture.

Whether you’re a Filipino American discovering their roots, or someone who wants to learn more about Filipino cuisine, you’re in the right place.

What We Cover

Manila Sun explores Filipino food one dish at a time. Each article digs into the history, preparation, cultural significance, and where to find these dishes in the United States. From breakfast staples like tocino to celebratory noodles like pancit, we aim to be a go-to resource for anyone curious about Filipino cuisine.

Who We Are

Manila Sun was founded by writers and food enthusiasts with roots in the Filipino diaspora. Our contributors include Amanda Natividad and Amber Kanuckel, who bring first-hand cultural knowledge and a love for sharing Filipino traditions with a wider audience.
