Da Coconut Nut
"Da Coconut Nut" is a song by Filipino National Artist Ryan Cayabyab originally popularized by the band Smokey Mountain in 1991. ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'' editor Rito Asilo characterized the song as a "wackily irreverent novelty hit". In July 2017, footage of a performance of the song by the 75-member Baylor University School of Music Men's Choir from the United States in an Emirates Airlines plane cabin before passengers and flight crew was posted online and became popular. Composition The song's lyrics describe the many uses of the different parts of a coconut tree. Cayabyab, in an interview with ABS-CBN, said that the song was composed in the novelty style as originally popularized by Yoyoy Villame, who at times the song was incorrectly attributed to. ''Khmer Times'' described the song as a "whimsical Filipino piece." When the song was performed during Barack Obama's visit to the Philippines, Rappler described the song as a "classic ditty".

Mongolian Barbecue
Mongolian barbecue () is a stir fried dish that was developed by Wu Zhaonan in Taiwan in 1951. Meat and vegetables are cooked on large, round, solid iron griddles at temperatures of up to 300 °C (572 °F). Despite its name, the dish is not Mongolian and is only loosely related to barbecue. Origin Mongolian barbecue was created by the Taiwanese comedian and restaurateur Wu Zhaonan. A native of Beijing, Wu fled to Taiwan because of the Chinese Civil War, and opened a street food stall in , Taipei in 1951. He originally wanted to call the dish "Beijing barbecue", but because of political sensitivity with the city, which had just recently been designated as the capital of Communist China, he settled with "Mongolian barbecue" instead, even though it had no direct connection to Mongolia. Wu's food stall became very popular and even attracted foreign diplomats and wealthy business people despite being a cheap eatery. However, it was later destroyed by flooding caused b ...

May Ulo, Walang Tapon
May is the fifth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and is the third of seven months to have a length of 31 days. May is a month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, May in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of November in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa. Late May typically marks the start of the summer vacation season in the United States (Memorial Day) and Canada (Victoria Day) that ends on Labor Day, the first Monday of September. May (in Latin, ''Maius'') was named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May. Conversely, the Roman poet Ovid provides a second etymology, in which he says that the month of May is named for the ''maiores,'' Latin for "elders," and that the following month (June) is named for the ''iuniores,'' or "young people" (''Fasti VI.88'').
