Il Trovatore
''Il trovatore'' ('The Troubadour') is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto largely written by Salvadore Cammarano, based on the play ''El trovador'' (1836) by Antonio García Gutiérrez. It was García Gutiérrez's most successful play, one which Verdi scholar Julian Budden describes as "a high flown, sprawling melodrama flamboyantly defiant of the Aristotelian unities, packed with all manner of fantastic and bizarre incident." The premiere took place at the Teatro Apollo in Rome on 19 January 1853, where it "began a victorious march throughout the operatic world," a success due to Verdi's work over the previous three years. It began with his January 1850 approach to Cammarano with the idea of ''Il trovatore''.

Asocena
Asocena is a Filipino dish primarily consisting of dog meat. The term ''asocena'' was first used in the 1980s and became popular when a film entitled ''Azucena'', written by Enrique Ramos and directed by Carlitos Siguion-Reyna, was screened in 2000. The dish's name is a compound word, from ''aso'', the Filipino word for "dog" and Spanish word ''cena'', which means "dinner" or "an evening meal", the literal translation being "dog-meal" or "a meal of dog meat". It may also be a play on the Spanish name ''Azucena'', which is also used to describe a variety of fragrant, white rice. Eating Asocena is usually consumed as '' pulutan'' ( Tagalog; snacks or food served while drinking alcoholic beverages; loosely translates to ''finger food''). Controversy The killing of dogs as Livestock has been banned in the Philippines since 1998 via Republic Act No. 8485, known as the Animal Welfare Act, with exemptions for dogs killed and eaten as part of indigenous rituals.
