One proof of Filipino ingenuity is the halo-halo, a heavenly concoction of ube (purple yam), strips of buko (coconut), tapioca, and sliced bananas on top of (or topped with) shaved ice. It is typically in demand during the summer, especially now that the heat index in the Philippines has reached up to 42°C—a temperature enough to make you feel under the weather.
