National Day of Mourning



Today I pay my respects to the 44 fallen heroes who died in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.  I pray for the families that they left behind and hope their death will not end up as an insignificant footnote in the history of our country. I salute the bravery of the SAF.

Rediscovering Comfort and Resilience: Itchoy Batchoyan Reopens with Hope

When news broke that Itchoy Batchoyan had reopened its doors, my heart did a little dance of joy. The unassuming eatery nestled in the heart of Cebu City had become a cherished haven for many, offering more than just food; it provided comfort, solace, and a sense of community during the tough times of the pandemic and beyond.

Food Question of the Week: When was the last time you had Ice Candy?

I remember back when I was a kid and ice cream is too expensive, I always love to eat Ice Candy! It is one of my favorite desserts especially during summer.  There was a time that one piece was sold at 50 centavos.  Recently, I was able to buy some at Isidra Comfort Cantina for 15 pesos each. I was like someone starved for food that I finished the 2 sticks in just a couple of minutes while driving. How about you, when was the last time you had Ice Candy? How much was the cheapest Ice Candy that you ever bought?
