Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Marikina Riverpark became the center of attention of Gixxer riders as the first ever Suzuki Gixxer Day commenced in the area with no less than 200 astig riders participating on July 23.

Established in partnership with the Road Warriors Club (RWC) – a club of Gixxer riders and the city government of Marikina, Team Suzuki presented various activities that will certainly benefit the Gixxer riding community – a safety riding seminar, free service, spare parts selling and fun surprises.

One of Suzuki’s most reputable clubs – the Thunder Riders Organization of the Philippines (TROOP) was also serving as event marshals.

It was a one stop shop for all the Gixxer riders as Suzuki presented simultaneous activities for everyone. A free motorcycle check-up and tune-up were offered as well as selling of Suzuki Genuine Parts including Suzuki Genuine Oils. The beautiful Suzuki ladies also joined the festivity and gamely posed with the riders for photo ops.

While their Gixxers are being checked up, the riders were given a Safety Riding Clinic by the Suzuki Safety Riding Authority composed of Mr. Noel Villapando, Mr. Sherwin Florendo and Mr Rey Abat.

Those who still view the Philippines as a technological laggard were surprised when the country jumped 17 places in the 2015 Global Innovation Index (GII), placing 83rd in worldwide rankings and 12th for Southeast Asia and Oceana.

Now on its 14th year, Systems Integration Philippines (SIP) will take place from August 11 to 13 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, SM Mall of Asia Complex.

Taco Bell, the world's leading taco food chain, invited us to taste the hype about their returning Chalupa Supreme for ourselves on July 28, 2016 at Taco Bell Gateway in Cubao, Quezon City.

The Chalupa Supreme, available for a limited time only, transforms the everyday taco into an experience. It features a deep-fried crispy and chewy flatbread with seasoned beef, sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a three-cheese blend which results into the delightful mixture of textures and flavors that is distinctly Taco Bell.

The Chalupa Supreme costs P99 when ordered a la carte, and P149 when paired with nachos and soda.

I could compare it with the Taco Bell Gordita Supreme for which I also enjoyed when it was previously launched in the Philippines. But I must say even though both specialty offerings are great tasting, my vote goes more for the Gordita Supreme. It must be because of the deep-fried crispy and chewy flatbread that sort of changes the taste for the classic taco.

Aside from being the healthier alternatives that's great for meals at anytime of the day, both the Chalupa Supreme and the Gordita Supreme, as well as the other taco varieties of Taco Bell are highly recommended to fill you up satisfactorily without any regrets. One order is already a well treat that the entire family will enjoy.
