In the Philippines / 現地での立ち位置
San Miguel Beer is the essential drink at fiestas and inuman (drinking sessions) with friends. Pale Pilsen in particular is the national standard, and the stronger Red Horse is popular too. More than a drink, it is a symbol of people gathering and talking together, and a source of Filipino pride.
The pop of the cap is the signal that the party has begun.
