My favorite is the Filipina Pea "Telling it like it is".
She covers the expat filipina relationship issues well. She has also done interviews with her friend who is an attorney covering legal issues here.
This is her YouTube Channel:

It's hardly surprising it's still spreading, I was in a line waiting for the bank to open 2 meter distance and women in front of me was facing towards me, she was not wearing a mask then she gave out a loud chesty cough, she just managed to put up her hand to cover her mouth. Then another women stood in between us, I said social distance madam, and some just laughed. until the guard made her go to the back of the line.

Giving this a go. I found some yeast at the market in Valencia. (Pronouncing "yeast" as it is actually pronounced only leads to confusion and "deer in the headlights" looks. Locals call it "yes't".) I am assuming this is bread/baker's yeast and not beer/wine yeast. It costs P5 per packet which I guesstimate is good for about 50 liters. I am also guessing the yeast will die off around 10-15% alcohol content from what I have seen in YouTube videos.
My first two attempts are with 1 liter of 100% coconut water and pineapple juice, adding 1 cup of white sugar and half a teaspoon of the yeast to each mix. I will let them sit for a week and test, if they aren't strong enough I will give it another week. So far after just one day I am getting a strong alcohol smell out of both bottles. Seems promising and I plan on experimenting more as I find more juice, but so far I have only found the pineapple and coconut juice. I may try the 4 seasons juice box if I am unable to find anything else locally as it seems that the only thing that matters is the sugar to yeast ratio. The rest seems to be only for flavor (so long as there aren't any additional ingredients or preservatives added to the juice.)- Informative x 4

-My neighbour (72 year old guy) keeps putting his hand on my leg when we go there to eat. At first I thought he was making a pass (to a 62 yr old guy!), but then when he loosened up after a few beers, he said 'I like you...I like your attitude'. This followed a marathon drinking session on our first visit just three weeks after we moved in next door. I've never come across such immediate acceptance. I'm a shy guy and don't make friends easily, but I feel comfortable there already (despite the hand on leg thing). All of their family of eight are equally friendly, helpful and welcoming. They give us food, plants from their garden, fix our electrical equipment as that's the trade of some of them and come around to help water our plants. They even put up with my drumming without complaint. Where else?
