Oyayi Is Gawad Tanglaw’s Best Children’s Show for 2016

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Oyayi, CBN Asia and National Council for Children’s Television’s newest program for TV, was awarded Best Children’s Show at the 15th Gawad Tanglaw Awards held Tuesday, April 25, 2017.

Oyayi, a Filipino word meaning “lullaby,” is based on a children’s storybook written by Fernando Rosal Gonzalez. Oyayi features a bunch of cute and perky endangered-species-friends who are on a mission to protect their island home. Oyayi teaches timeless lessons such as love for family, appreciation for culture and arts, and preservation and love for the environment. Oyayi also seeks to ignite the younger Filipino generation’s passion and love for country and to encourage them to become responsible citizens.

“We come alongside the parents in teaching values to their children,” shared CBN Asia’s Executive Vice President-COO, Robert John Tan. “We want to influence them in a positive way,” he added.

Yokocho Japanese Food Court at Victory Food Market in Baclaran

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ever since I turned into a blogger, my shirt size grew from a Medium to an Extra Large and my waistline probably turned double since I couldn't fit in my old, but still fine jeans, anymore. In my line of work, food is everywhere, and I just couldn't help but eat everything that's new for me or devour the tried and tested culinary greats.

All events would always have something served to its guests and thus the buffet spread has kept on calling me to please myself with all that they can offer. Even the pika-pika or finger foods would always have something tasty, and for the a la carte which I adore because of the creative plating, I couldn't resist trying everything on the menu.

May it be Chinese, American, Vietnamese, etc, or the local delicacies from the different provinces and regions of the Philippines, we Filipinos could not help ourselves taking pride of how we all love to eat. Adobo, Sisig, Sinigang, Litson, or whatever, we do think about what should be our national dish but why pick one when all of them are so yummy.

This is why we welcome all new and incoming restaurateurs or chefs who invest in the Philippines to tickle the fancy of Filipinos. Regardless if there are so many competitors, what is important is you have amazing recipe to come up with fabulous dishes that will surely impress the masses, or even the most critically-discerning foodies.

We definitely turned Japanese that one fine day at the Yokocho Japanese Food Court located at the 4th floor of Victory Food Market in Baclaran which is just opposite the National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help also known as Redemptorist Church but we all love and know colloquially as the Baclaran Church.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Since the travel season is already upon us, and school is on summer break, we expect many to be making various plans for their travels. Itineraries will be set to their preferred destinations for both local and foreign trips. There's going to be another huge demand for transportation services, hotel and resort accommodations, souvenirs, theme park and tourist spot visits, tour guide requests, and a lot more that would boost our country's tourism effort to the max.

It is such a great thing that many travel expositions, trade shows and fairs are being organized to gather many travel and tour providers for the convenience of consumers, both local and foreign tourists.

Among them is the NAITAS Travel & Trade Show for 2017 which offered up to 80% discount on outbound and inbound travels as well as on tourism allied products and services when we make bookings and purchases onsite. 

The event is organized by the National Association of Independent Travel Agencies, Inc. (NAITAS), one of the country's biggest travel and tourism association, in partnership with the Department of Tourism and Tourism Promotions Board Philippines.
