Now, the most touching part is when we happen to come to the cemetary to visit dad, and we see a Bangladeshi guy standing at his gravesite, praying for him, or when we see a poor guy burning stick candles and aplogizing to my mom that all he can afford were stick candles instead of glass candles. These are all heartfelt and really appreciated, and it helps with the healing process.
Taotao Tasi means "people of the sea". This site is dedicated to my beloved father, the late +Capt. Vicente Manglona Concepcion(aka:Ben/Ben-Ki). Although the title of the blog is Taotao Tasi, I also post photos of food! There is a whole world of foodies out there, and I am more than happy to share my island foodie culture.
