HA!
I remembered that there's a small shop in Bunbury called Cynthia's Asian
Market and she's from the Phillippines.

I then remembered the post down below about the links between Mexico and the
Phillippines.

Looked up your Annato recipe, saw it had a Tagalog word which was almost
identical to the Mexican and rang Cynthia's, She has it under Achuete.
