Can someone from the Philippines call the restaurant? I love to call them but I realized that I have insufficient balance. Here's their number (I don't know if it's updated, but it's the number the internet is offering us) 0933 434 0540/ For international calls: use +63, replacing the first "0"

Please don't. Anyone involved in filming will have signed a non-disclosure agreement so asking is only putting them at risk. If you want to go watch from afar and NOT interfere, fine. But no calls please.

Then, it's a good thing that I asked a question first before doing so. Hahaha, thanks for the warning!

I'd seriously follow them if they go north to baguio. it's only 1.5 hour drive from my place.

Thanks for the story Gurizin <3

Sounds fun!

But does this mean Adobo was a task or not? ???

Thanks Guzirin for the story  :<3

Anyway, if adobo is related to the race, it must be a task at Baclaran Church. No way they knew something before having the next clue, right?

Based on the photo of the teams near the church, it looks like a market or something there.
Anyway, maybe Bethany just asked about something famous in Philippines in the case there is a task related to.

Yeah, I think it's the latter :P

Usually teams are instructed to just "go there". Maybe they were just doing research.

I would say take it with a pinch of salt. (no pun intended) :funny:

She'd have to be really ingenious to work a clue into our conversation, but who knows, she did bring up the word adobo to us instead of the other way around.

Yeah, great job Guzirin! Must've been awesome.

So I guess the adobo thing was just Bethany being nice/preparing for possible tasks. Probably just being nice and growing up in Hawaii, she must know some Filipinos  :yess:

At Baclaran, it was probably one of those HOO, wait for the clue giver things.

I'm also thinking about the HOO thing, since according to sources here, they arrived at Baclaran around 2 AM, but left at 6 AM (according to on-ground sources)

One team member asked someone  how to cook adobo

so this was Guzirin at the airport in singapore? i thought it was asked to some bystanders after they arrived in baclaran. 

so the adobo task isn't true after all. it was just bethany inquiring about filipino dishes as possible tasks or something.

Yeah, the church is open 24 hours and they could've done a task there between 2am and 6am, but it appears all the teams left at the same time in the morning, so maybe it was something like "Wait for the priest at 6am for your next clue."

Enjoying @CATCH2T17's first general assembly. Amazing race now happening at Razon. :))

I don't know if this is related, but CATCH2T17 is a student assembly at the University of Sto. Tomas. Pit Stop?

The Catch2T17 thing, from the looks of it, is for DLSU, another university in the area. Razon is the Sport Building of the university.

You never know :D It could be a Detour task site. The tweet was from 4 hours ago, so they could have returned from Cavite by then.

just witnessed a team (M/F) in the Amazing Race at 4.10pm (SGT), no clues on both hands, location is at the junction of the Central Fire Station and Funan IT Mall. Team is looking for a taxi/cab. Sorry for the quality of the photo.



There are two hotels right at that junction, Peninsula Excelsior Hotel & Grand Park City Hall. Given that they were heading for the airport, they could have stayed in those hotels the night before.

I have a feeling that they already checked-in at the pit stop (wherever that is :funny:).

how did they know they'd be cooking adobo? they haven't gotten the clue yet at the Baclaran church.

Could have been in the first "travel to" clue. Or not....

The one who told us about Baclaran church did not mention anything about adobo even he read the clue (from Maya, I think). So I doubt that task related to adobo.

Xenocentric ‏@Cosme_Gabriel1 1 godz.

Saw #theamazingrace at ust this morning 2am! **** I WAS LESS THAN A KILOMETER FROM TAR25!

at 2am? maybe he meant 2pm...the teams were at baclaran church by that time and waited there til 6am. UST campus is quite far from baclaran. or maybe one of the teams got lost in UST?
