Tasty vegan fare

Katrina Hossen

Marketing manager of vegan burger chain VeganBurg

"I grew up in Manila, a city that is highly influenced by Spanish traditions. Traditionally, Filipinos go to church for Misa del Gallo, a mass that's heard before sunrise on each of the nine days before Christmas, after which there are always fireworks. But I have a personal tradition of visiting animal shelters to give food and assistance to animals as many of them are traumatised by the fireworks. Most dogs end up running into the road and getting hit by cars, or getting lost.
