Chef Boy Logro at Panlasang Norte "Mahalin Pagkaing Atin" Movement of Pilmico Foods

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Join the Mahalin Pagkaing Atin movement to support the local farmers and the love of local food.

The Mahalin Pagkaing Atin program aims to to encourage more farmers to invest in manufacturing local produce, and to encourage corporations and entrepreneurs to buy home-grown food instead of importing from abroad in the hopes of bringing forward the quality of local Filipino goods, which showcases that local quality food can be better than foreign produce.

The movement is directed towards providing sustainable livelihood businesses to places with high incidences of poverty, disasters, and conflict. It also aims to tell the story of the farmers, whose produce reflects the various geographical conditions in the country, as well as the differences in local farming practices and culture.

We were invited to visit the Mercato Centrale, BCG on July 31 8PM-12MN for the Mahalin Pagkaing Atin movement with a theme of Panlasang Norte - to experience the taste the best of the North has to offer!

Mercato Centrale that night had some of the famous dishes and delicacies from Luzon that's truly #MahalinPagkaingAtin. There was a live band playing with performers giving out their best songs. There were also the DJ hosts from a local FM radio station who moderated the program proper for the night including the introduction of RJ Ledesma, co-founder of Mercato Centrale; John Paul Pangilinan, Marketing Manager of Pilmico Foods, and Chef Boy Logro, celebrity chef of the Kapamilya network giving a few "ping, ping, ping, ping" cooking demos of dishes that can be found up North.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

TaskUs Philippines has acquired a new home within the 24/7 McKinley building located of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. The new office has a floor area of 2,500sq. ft. occupying three floors of space and boasts facilities such as spacious meeting rooms, boardrooms, and recruitment facilities, as well as state-of-the-art data centers equipped with Variable Refrigerant Flow air conditioning system, and 100 percent back up power capability.

The new office facility, that will be the official flagship regional corporate headquarters, is just the first phase of their expansion. It is capable of seating 400 employees and will also have amenities like a gym, theater and facilities where employees can rest or sleep. This is the third site after the company opened offices Imus in Cavite and in SM Aura also located in Taguig.

TaskUs expanded its presence in the country after an investment came in the form of a US$15M private equity funding from Navegar. Navegar is a locally-based fund established by individuals from the call center industry. The expansion will strengthen the company's operational and employee capabilities in the country.

Celebrating the expansion at the same building, a Gatsby-inspired theme party took place last July 31, 2015 with their employees and friends, including members of the media. I was fortunate enough to be among the few invited to attend this celebration.
