Uniqueness of Cebu.

This is one of our native foods in Cebu, Philippines. In our language, we called this as 'puso'.

Coconut leaves are formed to look like a triangular pyramid. And the rice is inside in it.

This can be usually seen during occasions. Birthdays. Fiestas. Name it.

This is one of the things that made Filipinos special and unique.
