Comments

This is a very good recipe and fun to make. Very delicious version of what we know as Banana Bread.

Note: Filipino is the correct way of referring to something that is of the Philippines, such as the people, a recipe or things.. The country is referred to as The Philippines. It is confusing I know, but that is how the "words" are to be used.
