Steemchurch Philippines
Thanks to the vision and work of @Sirknight, our brothers in the Philippines will also have their own Steemchurch embassy,
further expanding the borders of the first Blockchain church that in less than a year has expanded in an accelerated and progressive manner, with each days plus the numbers of people who live within the community.
SteemChurch.
It is the first Christian church in the chain of blocks (Blockchain), founded by the legend of Steemit @Sirknight, this December of 2017. At the beginning were rewarded publications that made daily competition in the famous and known #celestialchellenge, daily challenge where the people published articles in relation to the daily theme, and that turned out to be a success, because this is where we got to know our apostles and we went to a very united relationship that creates what is currently the Steemchurch.
The Steemchurch has 9 apostles, appointed by Sirknight to build and extend their work across the length and breadth of the Blockchain and the world. Among the best known are the sister and apostle @Darlenys01, in charge of Steemchurch Venezuela, the Aposotol @Owoblow-steemit, in charge of the steemchurch Radio, the Apostle @Jaff8, the Apostol @Abiye in charge of the @Farms project, also the apostle @Marcelo182 creator of the official Steemchurch website: www.steemchurch.net.
The purpose of the creation of the first church in the Blockchain represents a unique level of social work and altruism on the part of the founder, who has used their resources and time for the realization of all these projects that only bring blessing and help for many.
Philippines
The Philippine Republic, better known as the Philippine Islands or the Philippines, is an insular country of Southeast Asia located in the Pacific fire belt and consists of 7,107 islands that are divided into three large areas: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Its islands, mostly covered with a dense tropical forest, are rich in natural resources and host one of the most biodiverse areas in the world. Colonized in the first half of the sixteenth century by the then Spanish Empire, and then a short period by the United States of North America, with a Japanese parenthesis, the Philippines is today a combination of the eastern and western cultures of the planet, showing Malaysian traits , but also evidence of a past of Western influence. The official name of the Philippines was modified several times throughout history, but its name, Philippines, derives from "Felipinas", name imposed by Spanish colonizers in honor of Felipe II of Spain.

Halo Halo
The quintessential dessert of the Philippine archipelago. In a tall glass with crushed ice, the different ingredients are poured: cooked sweet beans and chickpeas, strips of coconut in syrup, banana and any kind of fruit, some scoops of ice cream, yam jam, cream and egg custard. The final touch will consist of condensed milk poured to the consumer's taste over all that curious mixture, really delicious, or masarap, as they say in the Philippines.
Small pig
As the name suggests, it is a roast pig and is usually the main dish at any party or celebration. The preparation begins once the carcass is opened and the entrails are filled with tamarind leaves, lemongrass and chives. After sewing the piglet with a bamboo stick inserted in your body to spin it over wood or charcoal you have to wait about six hours for it to be ready. Its tender meat and crunchy crust will have a delicious taste.
