What is the best ice cream (selecta, magnolia, etc.) in the Philippines?
The best local ice cream brand in the Philippines is without a doubt Carmen’s Best.This is also the most expensive ice cream in the country; pound for pound it’s even more expensive than foreign brands like Baskin-Robbins, Häagen-Dazs and Ben and Jerry’s. A cup this big will cost you 400-500 bucks; a comparable amount from Baskin-Robbins for instance will only run you about 300.It tastes great, though. I wouldn’t say it tastes better than any of the three brands I mentioned above, though. That depends on the person, but it’s not as rich as Baskin Robbin’s or Coldstone Creamery, but it has a very distinct and delicate flavor, and you can really taste the butter. Whether it's worth the price is another matter, and one only you can decide.If you’re looking for the best affordable ice cream, though, it’s indisputably Dan Eric’s Grand Ice Cream.I’m not sure how they do it, but Dan Eric’s is really delicious, even though it is ridiculously cheap. It’s more inexpensive than Selecta, Magnolia or any other major ice cream brand on the market, yet it tastes much better. Their Cookies ’n Cream in particular is really, really good and may be the best Cookies ’n Cream I’ve ever tasted.A pint will only run you around 50 bucks and a half gallon (around 1,800ml) is around 180 bucks. Selecta and Nestle sell just 750 ml for around 220. The pricing is crazy.

Are magnolias trees poisonous?
Never thought they were, but looked: Magnolia, Southern Magnolia grandiflora Toxicity Category 4 - plants are generally considered non-toxic to humans. --but I don't think I'd eat one. There are many sites about the wood containing toxic alkaloids. Not sure how it would affect dogs. Probably best to fetch a diff stick. But it is on the safe list for bird cages.
How do you kill a magnolia tree?
Don't sprinkle salt around it! That will kill everything... ask Genghis Khan. Use a razor blade, and cut a complete circle around the circumference of the trunk. The live tissue of any woody plant is beneath the bark. If that is interrupted, the flow of water and nutrients will stop. You've got to get through the protective bark, and deep enough to sever the vascular tissue. Now... if the association figures you killed it... then they might figure you have to pay to have it down... or the replacement tree? Becareful here, you may be representing yourself fraudulently. To make the cut 'less noticeable' try to only make one cut, and make it low on the trunk, below where people 'comfortably' would look. Near the ground. Good luck, I hope that this helps
Why aren't the Phillipines as prosperous as South Korea or Taiwan? Is it because of residual Spanish colonial practices? Is it because of the relationship with the US? The Filipinos I meet in the US are extremely intelligent, & competent.
My ex is Filipino and I’ve spent a lot of time in the Philippines. My FIL was part mestizo and had a clothing business.Some of it is the Spanish and Catholic influence. There’s a phrase in Tagalog/Pilipino: “Bahala na!” which is similar to “Que sera sera” in Italian. Basically “Fate will provide”, “(don’t) worry any longer” or even “Whatever!”. “Walang behala” means “without/no worries”. This is a common refrain when faced with adversity. It’s a pervasive resignation and nihilism common to the culture coming from both the Spanish rule and Catholicism. This is generally not a constructive attitude for entrepreneurship.There is also corruption. Anything is available for a price. Laws are sometimes merely suggestions. If you want a gun, though illegal, you can ALWAYS get one for the right price. Everyone I know has one or more.Another thing to consider: all the families who own the dominant businesses in the Philippines are either 1) mestizo (Spanish blood and light-skinned) or 2) Chinese. This includes Magnolia, San Miguel, etc.The Chinese are sort of the “Ferengi” of humanity in terms of being hard-core capitalist/business people. All throughout SE Asia, you’ll find the thriving and entrepreneurial businesses are usually Chinese (Chinese-Vietnamese, Chinese-Malay, Chinese-Thai, Chinese-Singaporean, Chinese-Indonesian, Chinese-Burmese, etc.)One thing you will see among Filipino-Chinese families (and common to places like Taiwan): the default life path choice if you have no other inspiration or education is to start a business. Just start a business. And if that fails, start another. And family, in typical Confucian fashion, will band together to make that happen.So when you see success, it’s generally Chinese-Filipinos or mestizo Filipinos. However these are not the majority of the population. Most are “malay Filipinos” or native “Filipinos”.Non-Chinese-Filipinos are more apt to follow a “crabs in a bucket” mentality - if someone is getting ahead of you, pull them down back into the bucket with everyone else. Even when it’s family. I’ve seen this too much.Also remember, the Filipinos you likely have met in the US were the ones sufficiently motivated to leave and often skilled enough to get the money to travel! So they are a self-selecting group with traits generally different from the majority of the population that has stayed. They are the “cream ng crop”.
Can you make perfume from a magnolia flower?
Yes, you can extract the essential oils from a magnolia flower in the same way as you would with any flower. There are several different methods to do this including enfleurage and steam distillation. You can read about the processes on this link... http://www.experience-essential-oils.com... It's possible to purchase pure magnolia oil but some popular perfumes with a prominent magnolia note are L'Instant de Guerlain, Magnolia Nobile by Acqua di Parma, Kenzo's Eau de Fleur de Magnolia, and Magnolia Romana by Eau d'Italie.
Magnolia trees Can I use Epson Salts to use as a fertilizer around our Magnolia tree?
Yes. Apply one pound of epsom salts for every ten feet of branch spread and mulch with manure/compost and water thoroughly, or apply 2 tablespoons per 9 square feet. Apply over the root area/zone about 3 times annually. Epsom salt doesn't "built up" in the soil after long periods of use like chemical fertilizers so it can't be overused. Magnesium and sulfur are the two major components of Epsom salt. Magnesium is critical for seed germination and the production of chlorophyll, fruit, and nuts. Magnesium helps strengthen cell walls and improves plants' uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Don't let the word "salt" scare you off. You aren't going to "salt the earth" and kill your plants. Epsom salts have looooong been used as fertilizers for various plants and trees.

What is the difference between a cherry blossom and magnolia?
I will answer your question, assuming you want to know the difference between the blossoms of these trees.Cherry blossoms are clusters of small flowers that are pendulous, just like a cluster of cherries. The ornamental cherry trees generally do not bear fruit. The petals are thin and shell-like in appearance. Some trees have single flowers and others have double flowers. I believe the single flowers each have five petals. They come in light to medium pink or white, depending on the cultivar.Magnolia blossoms, on the other hands, have blossoms that face upward. According to Louisiana State Flower - Facts About Magnolias, “The Magnolia flower posseses 3 sepals and 6-12 petals. Magnolia flowers do not have true petals and sepals but are composed of petal-like tepals.” Magnolia blossoms can be as small as 3″ across, or as large as 12″ across like those on Southern magnolia.Another fun thing about the magnolia blossom is that after the blossoms fade away, they have cool seed heads that look like paint brushes for small furry creatures.Image credit: Google
