Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

“I want to be like you, Mama.” Every parent dreams of hearing those words. They’re not just sweet—they’re a reminder that our children look up to us, draw from us, and want to carry our light forward. As parents, we dream even bigger dreams for them: to finish school, to find their calling, to live with security, and to keep reaching for the stars. But here’s the thing: life doesn’t always go as planned. We don’t like thinking about it, but what if one day, we’re no longer there to provide the means? What happens to the child who wants to be a doctor, an engineer, or maybe an artist like you? Without support, dreams can fade. And that’s something no parent ever wants to imagine. This is where  Plan B  comes in. More than a financial tool,  life insurance is an invisible safety net . It’s the promise that even when you’re gone, your love still protects. It makes sure your child can still finish school, still stay in the home they grew up in, and still have what they need t...

When it comes to Cebu’s food scene, we’ve always been spoiled with classics like lechon, ngohiong, and sutukil. But if you’ve got a sweet tooth, there’s a rising star in town that deserves a spot on your must-try list— Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette   in Tisa. I first learned about this humble doughnut shop through social media, and what really caught my attention was when a local award-giving body recognized them for having  the best doughnuts in Cebu.  That kind of praise isn’t something you hear every day, so naturally, my curiosity was piqued. A Sweet Sunday Discovery One Sunday, I decided to make the drive to their shop located at  Cabarrubias St., San Jose Village, Tisa, Cebu City (nearest landmark: House of Fruitas). Kat & Perry’s opens at  12 noon , and believe it or not, I was  Customer No. 1  for the day. The anticipation felt like lining up for fresh bread in the morning—but this time, it was for doughnuts. I ordered a box of six assorted...

We’ve  all heard the saying   “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”   It’s a nice reminder to stay positive and resilient when challenges come our way. But let’s be real—sometimes life throws lemons so sour and unexpected, no amount of sugar can fix it. That’s why aside from optimism, we need preparation. And one of the best ways to prepare is through   life insurance. Why Life Insurance Matters Think about it: we work hard every day for our  Plan A —whether that’s buying a home, raising a family, building a business, or simply enjoying a comfortable life. But what happens if something unexpected occurs? Critical illness, accidents, or even an untimely passing could easily disrupt everything you’ve worked for. This is where  Plan B  comes in—life insurance. It’s not about being pessimistic; it’s about being practical. Life insurance makes sure that even if the worst happens, your family is protected, your goals are safeguarded, and the lifestyle...
