My Pope Philippines - November 2019

في هذه القضية

Working on the pages of My Pope is always a privilege for the entire team, but we have to admit that putting November’s Food Issue together is an extra-special treat! And why wouldn’t it be? With stories about the indulgent ice cream flavors that are inspired by Lolo Kiko (page 44), the farm- fresh dishes that are served in Casa Santa Marta (page 20), and the delicious comfort food whipped up by Chef Baba Benedicto (page 10), we can’t help but wonder about our next meal.

But it isn’t just what we feed our bodies that makes this issue so special. Taking our cue from our dear Pope Francis, we made sure to fill you up with what will also feed your minds, hearts, and spirits.
