Middle East Meets Far East Side Story
Hailo-Hailo {from "halo-halo" = Taglit-Tagalog for "mix"; "hai" = "life" in Hebrew and in Japanese} is a favorite Filipinim dessert or completely satisfying meal. The ice cream [a Western ingredient] may be added to the concoction, but that would be just the surface of the mountainous dessert.
Ha'Filipinim kehillah {community} may be likened to Hailo-Hailo.
A remnant of Ha'Filipinim {Hebrew for "The Philippines" or "The Filipin@s"} trace their exilic roots to Sephardic Spain, then somehow smuggled to Mexico via ship, thus their identification as Crypto-Asians or Conversos/B'nei Anusim — linking West to East. Taglit, Hebrew for "Tagalog," is the official language of The Filipinim Arkipelego. We parabolically bridge the 6 directions of Arba'at Ha'Minim ["The Four Species," having been invaded over the former millennium by the toxic halo-halo likes of Arab Moors from Morocco in North Africa, Eurabian-Conquistadors, Brit-ish Snobs, Cow-Badoy Amerikano-Gringos — who classified Filipinim immigrants as Indo-Filipin@s — and Japanese Homicidal Kamikazes; though, the Filipin@ Tropical Island Sanctuary itself is not known to have ever resorted to brute imperialism or Retaliatory Seizure].
Hai-Hai is basically a mix of kosher preserved beans, fruit, cream, bananas, filled with crushed ice, soy milk {or coconut milk}, and sometimes ice cream. Hailo-Hailo basically is sweet, creamy, and a filling dessert.
The Filipinim concoction is especially popular during the hot summer months. The ice melts, and blends with Far East tropical fruits and beans underneath, which forms the bulk and substance of the thick mixture, the ones that are to be consumed firstly with a spoon. Drinking the melted ice and milk later is the climax of Hailo-Hailo, the creme de la creme in its liquid form. It is usually served in tall, transparent glasses that highlight its keshet {rainbow} contents, stimulating one's taste buds.

Far East Asian aspects of Filipinim culture include: hospitality, loyalty to family, honoring elders, respect for authority, emphasis on education, preference for Asian cuisine, diligence, proper justice, patience and perseverance amidst adversity.
Filipin@s are like Hobbits because they are a peace-loving, party people, who love to eat, drink, sing, dance, pipe-smoke, and laugh; who are secure in their dreams and visions, seeing well above the ordinary turn of events, giving hope to a cynical and litigious world, preferring, instead, the confines of The Shire.
