LIST: Where to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Manila (Sabong News)

The fifth of May or Cinco de Mayo marks a special occasion for our Mexican brothers and sisters as on that day in 1862, they became victorious over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Through the years, the day became more than just an observance of their victory but a celebration of the Mexican culture, cuisine, and heritage all over the world, and that includes the Philippines.
