Muslims around the world celebrate the end of the fasting period of Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast this week.  It is celebrated through prayer, gifts, and lavish feast. While the country is predominantly Catholic, Islam is the second largest religion in the country. No wonder, Filipinos have become fond of Halal foods.

I hope they can help more of our people. It is important during these times, we help and reach out. And what better way to do that, than thru food!” she said. Badass bopis is not your basic bopis because aside from being an heirloom recipe, it is meticulously prepared and is 100% clean and safe. It
