Pak na Pak with my Unipak Mackerel Special Recipe


Wazzup Pilipinas!

One look at me and you'll know I love eating. My love for eating got so much pampering when I became a blogger because there's literally food at every event I attend, aside from the actual food reviews or features I do at restaurants. I grew from wearing a Medium-sized shirt to an Extra Large-sized shirt within only a few years in joining the blogging community.

But, that doesn't stop me from preparing my own food as well. Cooking at home would still be a welcomed alternative than eating at those fabulous hotels, restaurants, and other events venue. Like they say, there's no place like home, especially when there's great food served that was cooked and prepared by your loved ones.

Because we are on a budget, and always on a hurry since we are all busy with work, and my kids at school, my wife would sometimes prepare DIY recipes that can be quickly prepared since time is not on our side. She would often come up with a dish that does not have a name since it's all made up. Most of the time it would be composed of ingredients that are available at the nearest store downstairs since we live all the way from the 5th floor (which is like the 9th floor since every unit at our building has two levels.

Yup! We're all the way living at the top of our building so you could imagine our dilemma. We would prefer buying all that we need for an entire week rather than on a daily basis.

Thus all dishes we cook are mostly those that does not require fresh ingredients like vegetables that we could store inside a refrigeration (fridge) or freezer within a week.

Music, Public Schools & 2,300-Year-Old Dragonboat Festival at Kamuning Bakery Café


Wazzup Pilipinas!

On May 29---the eve of Asia’s colorful 2,300-year-old Dragon Boat Festival honoring the ancient Chinese poet and anti-corruption statesman Qu Yuan, the 78-year-old Kamuning Bakery Café in Quezon City and 15 songwriters of “Tinta Aklat Rekord Awit” group celebrated the event with an all-night concert of original Filipino songs.

Proceeds of the night’s ticket sales were donated for grade four students of a public school in Los Baños, Laguna chosen by the songwriters.

The Dragon Boat Festival this year falls on May 30 in the Gregorian calendar. Apart from celebrating with dragon boat races worldwide and also with poetry, another tradition is the eating of delicious rice dumplings called “zongzi” in Mandarin and called “machang” in Hokkien or south Fujian language. Kamuning Bakery Café gifted all the songwriters and singers with packs of handcrafted, pugon-baked pandesal breads and with the traditional machang rice dumplings.

Kamuning Bakery Café was bought and revived in December 2013 by writer and realty entrepreneur Wilson Lee Flores, who has envisioned it to become a social enterprise which shall support unique, non-traditional socio-civic and cultural causes. Among these non-traditional philanthropic endeavors include the tertulia-inspired and non-partisan “Pandesal Forum” where leaders and newsmakers dialogue with media and intellectuals; poetry reading and open mic music nights; book launches; art exhibits; donations of entire public schools for poor rural areas, and many others.

Yamaha's Revvy Bear: More Than Just a Mascot


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Yamaha Motor Philippines
Inc. introduced Revvy Bear last 2016 and was intended to be an icon of the brand. As a cuddly bear it may seem an oppossite to the toughness exuded by motorcycles; but Yamaha isn’t all about the muscle of its exterior. The company has always been about heart. This led to the development of a figure that is not a machine but a symbol that the public can easily connect with emotionally.

Revvy Bear is more than a mascot, it is a representation of Yamaha’s warmth and care that is delivered to customers beyond its products. Slowely but surely, Revvy Bear is becoming part of the Philippine culture and a staple in every Yamaha event and activity. But Revvy was not just made to be adored from afar, those who were captivated by the lovable creature had the chance to have their own piece through contests and games. Revvy comes in all shapes and sizes that can be used as a cuddle buddy or even a key chain.

After Yamaha celebrated 10 years in the country, Revvy Bear will continue to be an integral part for years to come; from a complementary part of a program to the main protagonist in campaigns, this adorable manifestation of Kando is here to stay.
