While the competition is fierce, the emphasis is on creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Participants from all walks of life are encouraged to join, regardless of their skill level or experience, and share the joys of brewing and tasting exceptional coffee,” shared Michael Harris Conlin, 2019 Philippine National Barista Champion and President and CEO of Henry & Sons.</p><p>One unique aspect that sets the Comandante Championship apart is its commitment to promoting healthy competition and the joy of participating. Rather than glorifying winning, the championship celebrates the craft of coffee brewing. It's a reminder that coffee is not just a beverage; it's a shared passion that brings people together.</p><p>The competition consists of three rounds. In each round, competitors will be assessed by four sensory judges. They must prepare and serve a single beverage for the judges within eight minutes, without giving a presentation. Competitors can only use the coffee beans and water provided by the organizers.</p><p>During the competition, competitors can make multiple beverages, but only the one served to the judges will be judged. Competitors will compete in groups of five, and judges will select the best beverage by pointing a finger. The competitor with the best coffee, as chosen by the sensory judges, advances to the next round. Alternatively, simplified Brewers Cup score sheets may be used for the semi-finals or finals.</p><p>In the first round, competitors must use a specified pour-over brewing method chosen by the organizers, ensuring all competitors use the same brewing device. In the semi-final, competitors are required to use a full-immersion brewing method via Aeropress. In the final round, competitors have the choice of using either pour-over or immersion methods.</p><p>This year's Comandante Cup is shaping up to be an extraordinary global spectacle, boasting a record-breaking roster of 60 competitors. It’s not just the largest competition of its kind—it's a vibrant mosaic of passionate coffee lovers.</p><p>From the hobbyist home brewers who craft each cup with personal flair to the seasoned professionals whose techniques are as precise as they are inventive, the range of talent is as diverse as it is impressive.

Both motorists happened to be in the EDSA Carousel Bus Lane resulting in the former getting run over by a tanker driver in the adjacent lane.</p><p>Because of this, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) wasted no time in coordinating with the Office of the Solicitor General in the filing of a motion before the Supreme Court to consider lifting the temporary restraining order on the implementation of the NCAP.</p><p>It’s sad to know that a gruesome incident had to happen but aside from this, MMDA acting chairman Romando Artes said they will use the data they obtained in the past months showing an increase in the number of road accidents and traffic violations after the NCAP was suspended in August last year.</p><p>“We find it difficult to enforce the exclusivity of the said lane without the certainty of a CCTV-assisted apprehension, thereby exposing our motorcycle riders to a greater risk,” said Artes. “We keep on reminding motorists not to use the innermost lane of EDSA as it may result in an accident, but despite our repeated calls and pleas, many drivers of privately-owned vehicles and motorcycle riders disregard the policy,” Artes added.</p><p>Aside from MMDA, Metro Manila Council President and San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora is also leading the discussion to raise the TRO on NCAP.</p><p>According to Zamora, MMDA data shows from August 2022 to May of the present year has already resulted in an average of 25,926 per month as compared to a monthly average of 9,500 before NCAP was suspended.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge2lKQjKKkuUjm7EeIHiSssenUlE7oUWy0rNu11e7hiW1upCsnGnR-ZWReFBjASXJi0hiNs-ZCQ6st067YTe-WJhBBKOFexKi82F0gf6_X2h3E9jxZ8bVGY-qeXLkE2wVh2yRk6t-5QkgrR33QssG95TJkluRCOczBQd5NinbIpWBh_2RBIeZsMwmtkMOp/s1080/aa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge2lKQjKKkuUjm7EeIHiSssenUlE7oUWy0rNu11e7hiW1upCsnGnR-ZWReFBjASXJi0hiNs-ZCQ6st067YTe-WJhBBKOFexKi82F0gf6_X2h3E9jxZ8bVGY-qeXLkE2wVh2yRk6t-5QkgrR33QssG95TJkluRCOczBQd5NinbIpWBh_2RBIeZsMwmtkMOp/w640-h480/aa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>RETURN OF NCAP. As we experience pre-pandemic traffic, it is ideal in terms of safety and discipline to lift the TRO of NCAP.</i></span></div><br />“This data shows that we have more than a double increase in the number of violations. Having been Mayor of San Juan for the last four years, it is close to impossible to have traffic enforcers all over the city of San Juan, more so all over the entire Metro Manila. Having NCAP deters motorists from committing traffic violations” shared Zamora.<p></p><p>For those with an interest in road safety, NCAP represents a step forward, in terms of our enforcement of traffic laws.</p><p>In the few months it was implemented in San Juan, Quezon City, Manila, Valenzuela City, Muntinlupa City, and Paranaque City, NCAP did bring benefits that some would say were unfairly ignored in the debate.</p><p>These cities that have fully implemented NCAP cited a decrease in obstructions, choking off traffic from apprehended vehicles, reckless driving, and hazardous motorist habits.</p><p>It is unfortunate that we needed to wait for a fatal accident in order for us to see the benefits of NCAP. And aside from this incident, many agree that it is now time for the TRO to be lifted. With NCAP already addressing a lot of the public’s concerns, this July the handheld device for the Single Ticketing System (STS) will have a pilot test to be spearheaded by the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA).</p><p>With the STS in place, it will enable the Metro Manila local government units to strictly enforce traffic laws, at the same time, harmonize the existing national and local laws on traffic enforcement to establish an effective transport and traffic management system.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEDJvqkbyNs3oWRTSZn3T_7kaWjkTzmjRpp8D-1vJpLPbSpnlF-gXvMzvHHrbP704WvdM19dka0uLLfWRdf9Hiq1v5YK86VRH7V2Seb6tdQhFdIzYqprELx1MWLDJb15fVjRxts0AlfSFb_gCWWuSdzjcGzC8jldyis1V8w0Ave-dqzfsIn2__o5FF1RH2/s1434/aaa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1434" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEDJvqkbyNs3oWRTSZn3T_7kaWjkTzmjRpp8D-1vJpLPbSpnlF-gXvMzvHHrbP704WvdM19dka0uLLfWRdf9Hiq1v5YK86VRH7V2Seb6tdQhFdIzYqprELx1MWLDJb15fVjRxts0AlfSFb_gCWWuSdzjcGzC8jldyis1V8w0Ave-dqzfsIn2__o5FF1RH2/w482-h640/aaa.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>DETERRENT.

The survey, which was conducted from May to June, revealed that a staggering 94% of respondents felt the effects of inflation during this period.</p><p>The rising costs of essential goods and services, such as food, transportation, fuel, and utilities, have forced these young adults to make cuts in their non-essential spending, including leisure and entertainment expenses. Among the respondents, 60% reported that the continuous price increases had the greatest impact on their food and beverage expenses, followed by transportation and fuel costs at 15%, and utilities, such as electricity, water, and internet bills, at 14%. Additionally, an overwhelming 83% of participants stated that they had reduced their spending on non-essential goods, while 79% found it necessary to cut back on leisure and entertainment expenses.</p><p>The survey also highlighted the financial challenges faced by this demographic. Approximately one-third of respondents (32%) reported being unable to save over the past 6 to 12 months. For those who managed to save, 44% saved a lower percentage of their income. The persistent inflationary pressures have led 38% of respondents to adjust their savings goals by either reducing the target amount or delaying their timelines. Similarly, 47% of participants had to make similar adjustments to their savings plans.</p><p>To cope with the financial strain, a significant number of respondents have turned to loans. Of the surveyed individuals, 71% reported having outstanding loans. In an attempt to augment their incomes, 43% of respondents resorted to taking out additional loans in the past year. Among those who already had loans, 58% had to cut back on other expenses to meet their loan obligations, while 19% were forced to delay payments. The survey also revealed that 41% of respondents possessed credit cards. Personal loans were the most prevalent type of loan, accounting for 30% of respondents, followed by alternative installment loans and salary loans, each representing 19% respectively.</p><p>Regarding investments, 52% of respondents had existing investment portfolios. Among these, mutual funds and stocks were the top investment products, chosen by 18% of participants each. However, due to the inflationary pressures, 12% of respondents had to partially liquidate their holdings for increased liquidity, and a minimal 1% sold off their entire investment portfolio.</p><p>Given the challenges posed by inflation, respondents have adopted a diverse array of coping strategies. A notable 94% expressed concerns that continuous price increases would persist over the next 6 to 12 months. Consequently, 91% of participants felt the need to explore additional income streams. To adjust to the current economic situation, 86% of respondents planned to continue cutting back on expenses, while 73% intended to reduce their spending on entertainment and leisure activities.</p><p>In terms of savings, 34% of participants expressed plans to increase their savings allocations to better prepare for the future, while 33% aimed to maintain their current savings pattern. However, 16% of respondents planned to reduce their monthly savings allocation due to inflationary pressures.</p><p>The survey also shed light on borrowing habits, with 46% of respondents indicating that they were less likely to take out loans, while 28% stated they were more likely to acquire additional loans.</p><p>Regarding investments, 12% expressed a desire to explore risky investments in the hopes of achieving high returns over the next 6 to 12 months. Meanwhile, 40% were considering more conservative options. Notably, 30% stated that they would choose to stay away from investing altogether, while 18% aimed to maintain liquidity.</p><p>The online survey conducted by the NRI Singapore-Manila Branch included 295 adults from Metro Manila, consisting of 92 Gen Zs and 203 Millennials from the middle-class. The participants had monthly individual income ranges of PHP 13,000 to PHP 41,000 and PHP 41,001 to PHP 163,000.</p><p>As inflation continues to impact the daily lives and financial well-being of Metro Manila's middle-class Gen Zs and Millennials, it is clear that they are actively seeking ways to navigate these challenges and secure their financial futures.</p>Mark My Namehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15434983542627374173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902909300950966884.post-22105877759138397252023-07-28T07:16:00.003-07:002023-07-28T07:16:13.036-07:00 All PCPPI Manufacturing Plants Receive Recommendations for Food Safety System Certification | PR Post | MarkMyName<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1977" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRlo-zLTkKL5j9PxKdQrfeuCGZkxvSrH91a9EAuv3mrTNI2NY6533hflhnowCH_epnmZoLft3BwsISWo9PS13q6KoRQBYpnCvFYFOAmFpZIKkY3mYkI5Qw8Qk5Nhn7BCVd7ii90w5O06Mb6ehljihkkJS8OlXK1cbVVoj7JhC4-HfcuSVE-_Wnoh9ryqEy/w640-h262/p.jpg" width="640" /></div><p>Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) continues to embody how excellence is best demonstrated through commitment and consistency. PCPPI recently announced that all its manufacturing facilities across the country received recommendations for the coveted Food Safety System Certification (FSSC), with its Naga Plant being the most recent site to be certified.</p><p>Frederick D. Ong, the president and chief operating officer of PCPPI, said completing the FSSC status fulfills the organization’s unswerving commitment to developing a strong food safety and quality culture.</p><p>“At PCPPI, it has always been our mission to produce safe, high quality, and reliable products that deliver the best experience for our customers. It is imperative for us to adhere to global industry standards through continuously raising our performance. We do this by adapting to regulatory requirements and consumer demand, and embracing industry innovation,” said Ong.</p><p>Obtaining FSSC recognition provides PCPPI an advantage, as the certification recognizes its capacity to produce safe food and food packaging products, reduce hazards and incident risks, roll out resource optimization initiatives, reinforce its supply chain relationships, and maintain food safety protocols and programs.</p><p>The FSSC status was recommended by SGS, one of the top global audit and certification companies, following a period of undergoing a rigorous review process which was led by a dedicated Plant Audit Team. This team comprises representatives from across the facility’s functions: from food safety and logistics, to human resources and environmental health, safety, and security.</p><p>SGS tested the plants’ processes and policies in accordance with FSSC standards, which are aligned with ISO 22000 upon onsite inspection. FSSC evaluation is done annually, with scheduled and unannounced audit visits done.</p><p>“As we successfully complete our FSSC status, we are optimistic that this will enable more market opportunities for PCPPI and further grow the confidence of both internal and external stakeholders in our organization,” Ong added.</p><p>PCPPI operates 12 manufacturing facilities across the country.

We are inspired by the generosity of individuals and corporations that support iQor Qares’ commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others. We look forward to helping even more iQorians,” said Fleurette Navarro, iQor’s chief people officer, and chair of iQor Qares in the Philippines.</p><p>Since 2019, iQor Qares has provided a total of $150,000 in employee cases around the world. These donations have helped iQor employees rebuild their lives after natural disasters, care for loved ones in need of medical and end-of-life care, and address housing insecurity, as well as other life-altering events. </p><p><b>Putting people first, supporting local communities</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjye8So1dPznbsbFfSADxlE84Uo9Cp9RM91ZpwIAOPEv3z5nrbggYaUCSHvJ28yzEP0zkzaqoEJqLK6FGI7El2FKTSuvjTXEuRErqBnmJi3FIp00EbxB4HcqtppN_IGkamzuAElo4DgMtNfZ2Kg0_Dx87LNcAvwg58kid82kDEks5_VgUx6w3Xk0gcVqtXC/s960/i2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjye8So1dPznbsbFfSADxlE84Uo9Cp9RM91ZpwIAOPEv3z5nrbggYaUCSHvJ28yzEP0zkzaqoEJqLK6FGI7El2FKTSuvjTXEuRErqBnmJi3FIp00EbxB4HcqtppN_IGkamzuAElo4DgMtNfZ2Kg0_Dx87LNcAvwg58kid82kDEks5_VgUx6w3Xk0gcVqtXC/w640-h480/i2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>The creation of iQor Qares highlights iQor’s company value of the need to give back, as it encourages employees to support fellow iQorians and their communities. “At iQor, we want people to succeed in their careers as well as in other aspects of their lives. Part of that success comes from providing employees with opportunities to foster interpersonal connections and contribute to their communities. In this way, we are doing our part as Filipinos to keep our bayanihan spirit alive,” said James Down, senior director for operations.</p><p>“iQor Qares has provided assistance to 54 Filipino employees, and we have committed to help another 38 more people since registering as a nonprofit in April. More than 25% of iQor employees have pledged and donated to the Philippines, totaling 8,377 PH donors to date and this number is growing! In addition, the iQor Qares steering committee has visited our sites in Clark, Fairview, Dasmarinas, Sta. Rosa, Iloilo, Bacolod, Talisay, and Davao,” said Down.</p><p>For the past 25 years, iQor has been a steadfast presence in the Philippines, with 17 contact centers in Cavite, Davao, Iloilo, Laguna, Negros Occidental, Pampanga, and Quezon City. Thus, it's only fitting that, through iQor Qares, iQor continues to actively support the communities where they operate whenever an urgent need arises. iQor Qares remains committed to expanding support in the communities where iQor employees live and work as well as in the surrounding areas.</p><p><b>iQor cultivates a culture that cares</b></p><p>iQor Qares has helped foster empathy and unity among colleagues. As James Down said, “Every iQorian can choose to give one-time or recurring contributions and 100% of the money raised for iQor Qares in the Philippines will help local employees, their family members, and their local communities in need of financial assistance due to life-altering or catastrophic events beyond their control. We can provide financial assistance to any iQorian for three such events during their tenure with us, with a maximum allocation of PHP100,000 per event (and this may be waived with approval). We value our team in the Philippines, which makes up about 80% of our total global operations.”</p><p>iQor Qares creates a sense of unity among colleagues and sustains its charitable activities, via one-time and recurring donations from iQor employees, quarterly fundraising parties, auctions, and other activities.</p><p>“I’m proud to share that every iQorian cares for their colleagues, whether it’s a team member next to them at work or in their community. Even before iQor Qares was established, we have stories of people passing the hat for fellow iQorians, helping out in any way they can to ease others’ financial burdens. With iQor Qares, we are able to expand our existing commitment to taking care of one another,” shared Michael Oliver Dela Pena, vice president for operations.</p><p><b>Donate and learn more at iQorQares.com today.</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD1Bm7SYG1SBcLxKdb-SYIrUckt3gIeTTSRhZhuyla1N-Y-XKWApt1MklKf75yp2p1q2vAYZWkOsGOmPJIY4kTCLZCw-4Qxc3CUl8Y6kEC2n-3_KT_n5aneZppaUZq0Zk6nNRWsq4lu_KpDnG8N4G-FpNnCgbD6ktUtzV3Owit34OJAPHO0syi9cAqCiX/s1412/i3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1412" data-original-width="1318" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFD1Bm7SYG1SBcLxKdb-SYIrUckt3gIeTTSRhZhuyla1N-Y-XKWApt1MklKf75yp2p1q2vAYZWkOsGOmPJIY4kTCLZCw-4Qxc3CUl8Y6kEC2n-3_KT_n5aneZppaUZq0Zk6nNRWsq4lu_KpDnG8N4G-FpNnCgbD6ktUtzV3Owit34OJAPHO0syi9cAqCiX/w598-h640/i3.jpg" width="598" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b><p></p>Mark My Namehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15434983542627374173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902909300950966884.post-58333443200080812762023-07-28T07:05:00.005-07:002023-07-28T07:05:41.681-07:00Bring Third Wave Coffee Right In Your Home With Breville’s Line of Espresso Machine | PR Post | MarkMyName<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">Coffee is more than just a quintessential drink. It is a hobby, a culture, and even a lifestyle for many. While a lot of trends have come and gone for everyone’s favorite morning pick-me-upper, many will agree that we are now in the golden era of appreciating and enjoying this drink as we continue to ride the great third coffee wave.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJba1DKImcVJb1sGJNjXXb4IY3qwJaGn-xB-EYBMDdo5QVcDKlQVlzrsPLK8viOs4u5-chOhTPNFK27rH5fSZIDXagSVhVhD-KIQOI6r7Hc-A7ntyAySqXoR-DS-YR7MkiJPLUj2ymtxz077DzYL13l_gHcQ_MSicmTTs5PhnSkvZdhxmlC-QWlWNIgHXF/s593/b1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="395" data-original-width="593" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJba1DKImcVJb1sGJNjXXb4IY3qwJaGn-xB-EYBMDdo5QVcDKlQVlzrsPLK8viOs4u5-chOhTPNFK27rH5fSZIDXagSVhVhD-KIQOI6r7Hc-A7ntyAySqXoR-DS-YR7MkiJPLUj2ymtxz077DzYL13l_gHcQ_MSicmTTs5PhnSkvZdhxmlC-QWlWNIgHXF/w640-h426/b1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">For a quick refresher, third-wave coffee started in the 1980s when more focus was given to the coffee beans and the roasting methods used in crafting the drink. The goal of the movement was simple: bring exotic flavors out of well-grown beans to start a whole new level of appreciation for coffee. The third wave movement was a whole 360 turn from the first wave—where the beverage was highly commercialized for fast consumption with low priority given to quality (think 3-in-1 and instant packs)—and second wave coffee where cafe culture rose.</span><p></p><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">Vanessa Caceres, a pro in the field, has this to say to describe the third-wave movement: "It represents a shift from the mass production and standardization of coffee to a focus on the unique characteristics of individual beans, cultivation methods, and brewing techniques. Third-wave coffee enthusiasts often prioritize direct trade relationships with farmers, sustainable farming practices, and meticulous roasting and brewing methods to highlight the flavors and nuances of the coffee. This movement has led to an increased appreciation for coffee as a craft beverage, similar to the way wine or craft beer is appreciated.”</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">As third-wave coffee continues to evolve, the appreciation for its culture continues to grow.</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">Unlike the early years when the understanding of third-wave coffee was limited to a certain niche, however, access to it has now become more open to everyone. Breville Philippines, the leader in premium lifestyle home and kitchen partners, is one brand that has definitely helped unlock the appreciation for third-wave coffee with its top-of-the-line range of espresso machines. For Breville, their mission was simple—give everyone a chance to bring home their love for third-wave coffee through their products.</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">Proof of their dedication to this market promise is their wide range of espresso machines that fit the needs of every kind of coffee lover.

I just knew I love coffee and I wanted to deepen my knowledge about it. Thankfully, there is a lot of great content and online groups dedicated to this topic which enabled me to learn more about third-wave coffee one day at a time."</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">Vanessa adds to this, saying, "With the third wave coffee, it’s not only about educating the people about the drink but sharing the story behind the cup. [A big part of it] is all about providing a genuine experience for those who want to experience it. From the consumer’s perspective, that means having a good espresso machine they can use. What I like about Breville is that it was able to design models that opened up this possibility for everyone–and without compromising the quality of the drink.”</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGsGrw5w452v-3knXc78V_VJK4IHwJEV9kSHDTQ_eE7YjyjwgIpMODFVc11ked8JM4nm_sA95a11dCcyOgHYabs0_cdvF9VDRhoxhyD-ItMI1feGqlKWrkI2DP69viGpf6rUTbjSlLzLGwLdhALrRxzE6RqCuNgJys-cRP2e9RGvT-xt1z3lx7kQeaVObF/s720/b3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="540" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGsGrw5w452v-3knXc78V_VJK4IHwJEV9kSHDTQ_eE7YjyjwgIpMODFVc11ked8JM4nm_sA95a11dCcyOgHYabs0_cdvF9VDRhoxhyD-ItMI1feGqlKWrkI2DP69viGpf6rUTbjSlLzLGwLdhALrRxzE6RqCuNgJys-cRP2e9RGvT-xt1z3lx7kQeaVObF/w480-h640/b3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><span style="color: var(--primary-text); font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">The rise of brands like Breville has totally changed the game of third-wave coffee culture by making it more accessible to the market all while retaining the ‘romance’ and precision that comes with it.

He was USANA Health Sciences’ top income earner in the Philippines between 2013 and 2019 and its youngest “Million Dollar Club” member globally, a prestigious recognition of his sales performance.</p><p>His 13-year-old organization, XTRM 1-11 (pronounced “Extreme One Eleven”), is present in 8 countries, namely the United States, Germany, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Italy.</p><p>Billy is an entrepreneur and salesman by heart and a mentor, leader, and inspiration to many. He believes in professionalizing direct marketing not just as a corporate sales strategy for wider product distribution but also as an opportunity for enterprising Filipinos to make the best use of their talents.</p><p><b>A rebel, a waiter, and an engineering student</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1067" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBE4XoZdp4H5gxe-hI4MK4W_9rd0XZ1C71J_cKfGkYYehLCZra5XsubR5mhVO5TkkL-qLzP3PI6g8dO8avAkrMMkiC0Q5TP_8o5msYre2itB7Lr56ZPcc7kMAzMRxqfvgOyR-QUVBkmmyHbKNLsoy4qfoJy56JxF0I01NV0qWr7BZ06WNP37qurxrUTgS0/w640-h640/2.jpg" width="640" /></div><p></p><p>The third among the four siblings, Billy’s father was an entrepreneur who made money selling chemical supplies. This business meant that the Dela Fuentes were constantly moving across the country. Billy hopped from one school to another until college when he entered the chemical engineering program at the University of Santos Tomas.</p><p>While in college, Billy witnessed the downfall of his father’s business and how it affected his life severely. As the family went bankrupt, he was asked to stop his school for the time being to focus on selling soft drinks. But Billy rebelled; he packed up his things and left home, angry with the unwelcome detour of their fortunes.</p><p>“It was a difficult period in my life to be alone, broke, hungry, and trying to keep up with my academics. I remember being in debt with almost everyone I knew, and I even sold my SIM card for 50 pesos just to have something to eat on one particular day,” recalls Billy.</p><p>He found work as a waiter at Red Ribbon. It was then that he discovered his love for selling and interacting with people. He was so good at upselling cakes that he was frequently rewarded at the end of his shift. He was made a cashier as a result. He eventually left waiting tables as a working student and discovered modeling, a career that he soon realized was not for him.</p><p>Having married Josephine in 2009, they found success in direct selling and made it into a partnership that blossomed over the years while tending to 4 growing children. Billy became the Philippines’ first 2-star diamond director (and eventually its first 10-star diamond director). His successive climb eventually reached Asia Pacific; for four years from 2011, he was among the 25 fastest-growing direct sellers in the region. For 2 consecutive years, Billy was also awarded as part of USANA’s Fortune 25, a recognition reserved for top global income earners. He was the first Filipino to be included in this group.</p><p>His laurels continued to arrive: In 2017, Billy was awarded by ANCE with its People's Choice Rising Star Global Best Male Award, and, the year after, he received the Most Outstanding Trainor in the Philippines award from the Junior Chambers International. In the U.S. Billy received the USANA True Health Ambassador Award, a recognition of associates who support USANA’s True Health Foundation through charity, service, and promotion.</p><p>“Earning money is different from managing money,” he shares. “You have to know both to achieve your personal ambitions.”</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY5YtixKCcIPCcaSGe7wM-b2OyJeXNqRLejHlUQQ-wocCYKxs379iNKLZJ9u9jOVZ_TNM7XzeDrazyBhmpOvYvdM64CjaF19s0hzSSgQHMYkuKFQEBQotLSVl6LyGm2R-TG44TQbf9CcwRg59ZA5idFzIt6bEm2b34GMrqD062zVcyajF3GTSbaYZ_1W-e/s1756/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1162" data-original-width="1756" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY5YtixKCcIPCcaSGe7wM-b2OyJeXNqRLejHlUQQ-wocCYKxs379iNKLZJ9u9jOVZ_TNM7XzeDrazyBhmpOvYvdM64CjaF19s0hzSSgQHMYkuKFQEBQotLSVl6LyGm2R-TG44TQbf9CcwRg59ZA5idFzIt6bEm2b34GMrqD062zVcyajF3GTSbaYZ_1W-e/w640-h424/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><b>Lifelong learning & paying it forward.</b></p><p>An important ingredient to Billy’s success is his ability to form a great team. Having founded XTRM 1-11 in 2010, he, Josephine, and his core group of leaders expanded the organization internationally to nearly 400,000 associates, and at one point he became the top enroller in Asia Pacific by sponsoring the most number of new direct associates.</p><p>Billy’s personality and outlook have made him a popular inspirational speaker, giving 60 talks each year before the pandemic. This record included speaking engagements in Mexico for 15,000 people and South Korea for 10,000 listeners.</p><p>He inspires people by going beyond selling, helping them understand purpose and how to make sense of their careers and personal lives. “Everyone has the potential to succeed. The challenge is how to turn that potential energy into kinetic energy,” he says.</p><p>He founded and invested in several businesses, including Infinitemedia Corporation, a digital marketing agency, and House of Bilao, a restaurant in Pasig; he invested in Xpanse, an IT company that provided automatic delivery systems for SMEs; and he was a franchise store owner of a Technomarine shop in Uptown BGC. While these businesses were significantly affected by the pandemic, Billy understands that one learns more from failing than they do from winning. He used these lessons to drive XTRM 1-11 further.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjZcVQ-SUZ9Kv8Sn0XjRRZPtyxdSsGU0BtUTJXLzdlDXHsX2BAHgsUo-lh_SGP_iWgV94flEmR4AMF0m8LWgY0qWrUK4GmvSLYUEllHDcOm3iFggbFHlZQCa9dgjbKbb_CNK5KioC3saV7FgEn8xRBgWoMYMxFF6qmL1LT8efFPxDVzGXsva8vnRs3-x5/s2048/5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1359" data-original-width="2048" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXjZcVQ-SUZ9Kv8Sn0XjRRZPtyxdSsGU0BtUTJXLzdlDXHsX2BAHgsUo-lh_SGP_iWgV94flEmR4AMF0m8LWgY0qWrUK4GmvSLYUEllHDcOm3iFggbFHlZQCa9dgjbKbb_CNK5KioC3saV7FgEn8xRBgWoMYMxFF6qmL1LT8efFPxDVzGXsva8vnRs3-x5/w640-h424/5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>“People often ask me: ‘How do you become driven?’ I acknowledge it can be difficult to push oneself. We are often drawn to settle and take the short route. One should learn or find out about their “Deep Why”. There will be a lot of tests and hardships ahead, but when you know the things that will push you to do greater things in life, you will become unstoppable.”</p><p>“Successful people are disciplined. They become winners through consistency,” he shares.</p><p>Billy dreams of mentoring up to a million associates both directly and through the mentees he has taught for over a decade and a half. Only 40 years of age, Billy is accelerating forward while paying it forward. </p>Mark My Namehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15434983542627374173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902909300950966884.post-66653433255911629062023-07-09T00:17:00.007-07:002023-07-09T00:17:42.176-07:00Jollibee Group Strengthens Growth of its Foreign Franchised Brands | PR Post | Mark My Name<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NnOYv3Ug_WBTsXkNF9oVHH42W9abDVvsXg1i3vX0bwImqoFGQkg5waVao7UQcWHZJjwt7m3IQyYl45S_1tEsNlviBZIa-4XedH3UhKYZsMCQz04l14M70L2VNmTHkLOGjGkPhn9iVHpO_oBEHckY3bqY0EknGuj1iBB5j0zx1snjcajSCCDg5MaIDapr/s2048/355670982_1125309008442863_4514946170947421042_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2010" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NnOYv3Ug_WBTsXkNF9oVHH42W9abDVvsXg1i3vX0bwImqoFGQkg5waVao7UQcWHZJjwt7m3IQyYl45S_1tEsNlviBZIa-4XedH3UhKYZsMCQz04l14M70L2VNmTHkLOGjGkPhn9iVHpO_oBEHckY3bqY0EknGuj1iBB5j0zx1snjcajSCCDg5MaIDapr/w628-h640/355670982_1125309008442863_4514946170947421042_n.jpg" width="628" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Record-Breaking Store Openings.

By leveraging our brand portfolio to provide diverse offerings for various market segments at different price points, and strategically expanding our store network, Burger King, Yoshinoya, and Panda Express are expected to continuously contribute to the sustainable growth of our domestic business,” said Joseph Tanbuntiong, Jollibee Group Country Head for Philippine Business.</p><p>Store Openings</p><p>As part of the company’s expansion efforts in 2022, Burger King opened 23 stores, which is the highest number of store openings in a year. It also opened its 125th milestone store in 2022 and five Bike ‘n Dine stores located in Shaw Wack-Wack San Juan; Visayas Ave. Quezon City; Vermosa in Imus, Cavite; Alabang-West in Muntinlupa; and Carmona Cavite.</p><p>In 2022, the Jollibee Group also relaunched Japan’s world-famous Beef Bowl Chain, Yoshinoya. This is its first-ever Japanese food chain, making it a strong addition to the foreign franchised brands currently operated by the company. Yoshinoya serves a beefed-up menu in a newly redesigned contemporary and casual Japanese space headlined by their world-famous gyudon or beef bowl.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3hzbP0shfcXNagJ-sjyeYJU7VdCsV2sYa9vuuJFsOsQsSkZ4uoV3srP1ixOO9mGz1aoMZH8vdPVL1jUr97MrofEm-NHhdO2Gf9-mJzGLhbYn6S3UQAIyc5bCw1ib_xl0bReLeFe0T03rQn-XqVDOXc5iRHB0TuVHw--voYcLjaCVzW8vbK535ay8HjYik/w640-h426/355178827_7183151428379836_1279666570733785786_n.jpg" width="640" /><span style="text-align: left;">Successful Relaunch. The Jollibee Group successfully relaunched Yoshinoya in the Philippines with a refreshed store design and menu offering.</span></div><p>Last year, Yoshinoya opened four stores and renovated three existing stores. The Jollibee Group formed a 50-50 joint venture with YIPI—the Philippine subsidiary of Asia Yoshinoya International Sdn. Bhd. and Yoshinoya Holdings Co. Ltd. in June 2021. The said partnership established Yoshinoya Jollibee Foods, Inc., which operates the Yoshinoya stores in the country and plans to expand Yoshinoya’s store network to 50 stores in the long term.</p><p>Meanwhile, Panda Express opened ten stores last year, five of which were the first in its host cities—Robinsons Place Ermita in Manila, SM Southmall in Las Piñas, Betterliving in Parañaque, Shell SLT in Muntinlupa, and Greenhills in San Juan. In February 2023, Panda Express opened its first drive-thru restaurant in Asia with the launch of its Sumulong Highway branch. This new location in Marikina City also marks Panda Restaurant Group’s 100th international restaurant. Panda Restaurant Group, Inc. (PRG) and the Jollibee Group formed JBPX Foods, Inc., a joint venture in 2019 to bring the world’s largest American Chinese dining concept to the Philippines.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1048" data-original-width="1600" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOGQ_QfOtjX3Fc9VliJe8Vv1Nw4JdoxY868is_4z9-9_qSKeIMhwN-dX8HUZMs_M2KXi_oLJ_C_shFpcGhlcjT3ZcTnSbffgAP0-npaB2hAi6fIGET9S1Cnics9-pyaaQkvyQQQq_WrmE_eOOYV4erfhJ1rM1NQ-zbAbeb6l2FNRCey9AQ8HzGtcfpe97/w640-h420/356943958_235444069274176_4363996228834696247_n.jpg" width="640" /><span style="text-align: left;">Milestone Opening.

Apart from this, the Jollibee Group also provides menu offerings that are either unique to Philippine market or among the best performing for these franchised brands in the region and the world.</p><p>On top of its iconic entree, the Original Orange Chicken®, Panda Express introduced Kung Pao Fish last year for the season of Lent. Its Beef Broccoli and Honey Walnut Shrimp are also among the best-selling dishes in the region.

But Doc Nielsen isn’t a regular vet. He’s the managing partner and chief surgeon at Vets In Practice (VIP), which caters to not-your-usual pets, and he also has a background in Avian and Exotic Medicine.</p><p>But what makes him so special is his unbridled care for virtually any kind of animal, be it crawling, flying, galloping, or slithering.</p><p>Doc Nielsen’s passion started when he was around three years old. One of his favorite childhood memories was being excited about going to church just so he could see the yellow chicks and ducklings being sold by vendors outside.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqF2g0dZF6PNOXzJGCkXVK743C9Pb1oxf3eUClSKH6pdGnU-4L8Kvnk8wuv9WPHttbBQOl-7v09qFJr2PR3BWSB6S7ueAyaz25A5p4coSfGVTT6RukZ1YVwX91ta4NjAJc3pbQnO040KuH6OY4H47nd6J53jM2aqqoCGFzgci3JBgfNFHGWhZ6xBFAw/w640-h426/DR.%20NELSON%20X%20BAYAWAK.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Doc Nielsen demonstrates how to bathe a Bayawak, with his resident monitor lizard, Bruce.</span></i></span></div><p>Today, Doc Nielsen helps run the Laguna Wildlife Park & Rescue Center, which sits within his family’s property in Pansol. This non-profit organization houses around 100 species of farm animals and wildlife, including domestic and neglected pets, as well as exotic animals that were rescued from illegal sellers and dangerous living conditions. The wildlife park has everything from chickens and goats to monkeys and a serval cat, which he tends to with the help of his staff. It’s also backed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), which assists in acquiring and transporting animals to the park.</p><p>The veterinarian calls the park his “happy place,” which he visits as early as 5 am to see all of the animals and listen to the different sounds that envelope the whole park. “When I’m walking here in the morning or afternoon, it relaxes me. Nalilimutan ko yung mga stress, that’s why I call it my ‘haven,’” says Doc Nielsen.</p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigM--KbALwPYPtKqzxw_PyZORlJ4arq7N44OGhL1Gw3IqTS4n6QOGYyD5i8y5Y9Ot8WjCZOJHMRVSonsqPadTNKLS4V0RK0xyvUtkSm85HpPeuj4KnXwn3VGEbzTWSAQ_IfqsnxTwKM9QovryYx4p5CrHxvp71JJt-DdKuj2dcsOBEqF4ml9OK95-fNA/w640-h426/Violet.jpg" style="text-align: center;" width="640" /><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Feeding time: Violet, a rescued tortoise, snacks on papaya.</span></i></p><p><b>Compassion project</b></p><p>“We support the animals with our own resources,” Doc Nielsen says as he shows the many enclosures in the park that the animals call home. He also provides them with nutritious food and medicine to keep them healthy while they’re living in the park.</p><p>He doesn’t do this alone. Apart from the staff he works with, Doc Nielsen’s family also helps. His kids, Cedric and Nina, are studying veterinary medicine, so they’re well on their way to following in their dad’s footsteps.</p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEbNSYbO0D_oNZq5C026Wo9kda2rn0DwbpRFsqSzUFKx7HnkzInEn6JXglznuyeKQJmBczSfkUNU7UmJX6DaysT6ny-OFFX2oS92ZMtOQ6JADarOTlBhhJ6NfKogSSvOf5rFe9GSd7ETyAzjntEsosfi8kWB6zDIvE6GC3I7Uo8ooU9OW_YWX5LOpSQ/w640-h426/Zuma.jpg" style="text-align: center;" width="640" /><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Zuma the Albino Burmese python and Doc Nielsen pose for the camera.</span></i></p><p><b>Giving animals a second chance.</b></p><p>While giving a tour of the park, Doc Nielsen stops to feed and pet the animals he passes by. One of them is a bearcat (binturong), a nocturnal mammal with cat-like features that’s endemic to Palawan. Doc Nielsen explains that the bearcats were transported to the park with the help of DENR, and they are raised until they’re ready to be released back into the wild.</p><p>“I promised that if I ever breed any endemic wildlife animal in the park, my goal is to help repopulate their species and bring them back to their natural habitat,” he says. He also takes time to assess animals who might need medical attention and treat them right away to prevent infections.</p><p>It’s not always easy for Doc Nielsen to let go of animals, especially those that have been used to being around humans. Many of the monkeys, for example, lived in crowded areas and were treated as pets in their past lives. Releasing them back into the wild would be a safety risk for them because a troop of wild monkeys might hurt them.</p><p>This is why he and his staff ensure that animals like these get the care they need so they can live a long and healthy life. The wildlife sanctuary is their safe haven until they are ready to be released in a protected space.</p><p>Whether it’s at his clinic in the city or the wildlife park in Laguna, Doc Nielsen is always ready to offer his expertise and care to all types of species, no matter how scary they may seem.</p><p>“I always dreamed of being someone like [British veterinary surgeon] James Harriot. I’ve always wanted to treat dogs and cats, and farm animals as big as horses, goats, and sheep,” he said. “There weren’t exotic animals to treat yet [when I was just starting out.] Now, I’m lucky because I get to treat more exotic animals, as well as farm animals, in my clinic and the park.”</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm1rbmZWDHIrCG-jl0FWTvnjLjxGkfg1MZvEjzng50r8Zyw97N17Z7gWihbjaD_rAF5R4UVtIaf7KyxWmq_I6KutPcgWO4CyqCdVt1mx3A8KTIGPCkjTkezFyQae3ubujgLJYe0OHxA3hM_iWhwcVwcqO9x8EVmRee9xdit0hd53vawgoTjATies228w/w640-h426/PEACOCK.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>On full display: Drake the Peacock struts around his pen.</i></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOfG0c0wIBOXgMA7nGxLsTPrF26aOgWgwavJJRZH0IEyEykZPnwHQ-aLqFWv6ZTnjohAqfBDNPbWv_tQFA_23cvjBGYQ5UKTQyJuYR-QyE_vFdWWiwfB5FQJNkFPhOPsaxdv9t4rdJo-V8XGg5Tees75_340eWWGHSmy03kzQLpY_qbbVk7ck5FRB7hw/w640-h426/kulit.jpg" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Best Friends Forever: Doc Nielsen and Kulit.</span></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Mark My Namehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15434983542627374173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902909300950966884.post-86379615530647841942023-03-12T06:16:00.001-07:002023-03-12T06:16:15.554-07:00Vegetarian Meal For Today | Ginisang Togue with Meat Alternatives | MarkMyName<iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/irYsvE4GdM8" width="480"></iframe><div>A delectable and nutritious meal that can be served anytime is Ginisang toge paired with veega meat. This is also perfect if you are trying to cut down on meats and doing abstinence for the Lent season. You can do many things with stir-frying but this is my simple way. I didn’t even measure the exact ingredients. I’m just eyeballing everything. Familiarity with the flavors of each ingredient is really a good way to learn how to cook.</div><div><p>Ginisang toge is a traditional Filipino dish made from sautéed bean sprouts, carrots, and other vegetables, while Veega meat is a plant-based meat substitute made from a variety of vegetables and grains.</p><p>To start, you will need to gather your ingredients.</p><p><b>INGREDIENTS</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p>Bean sprout</p><p>Carrots, julienne</p><p>Bell pepper</p><p>Veega tapa</p><p>Onion</p><p>Garlic</p><p>Salt and pepper to taste</p></blockquote><p>Once you have your ingredients, it's time to start cooking. </p><p><b>PROCEDURE:</b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p>Begin by heating a pan over medium-high heat and adding vegetable oil. </p><p>Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced onion and sauté until the onion is translucent.</p><p>Add the Veega Meat Tapa and stir fry</p><p>Next, add the sliced carrots and bell pepper then sauté for another minute or two.</p><p>Then, add the fresh bean sprouts and stir everything together. </p><p>Your Ginisang toge with Veega meat is now ready to serve!</p></blockquote><p>Noticed that we didn’t add any other sauce because the Veega Meat Tapa has already a good amount of flavor. The sauce of the tapa will flavor out all our vegetables.</p><p>This recipe can be served as a viand, it is best paired with rice. If you happen to have leftovers, you can wrap them in a lumpia wrapper and fry them. You will turn it into a delicious snack.</p><p>Apart from its delicious, it is also very healthy.

The Jollibee Group recently announced the resumption of its inclusive employment program to hire senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWD) in Manila after renewing its partnership with the city government of Manila.</p><p>The partnership is consistent with Jollibee Group’s commitment to provide equal employment opportunities to different sectors, while promoting and practicing inclusivity and diversity in the workplace.</p><p>Jollibee Group will hire 28 senior citizens and 17 PWDs as customer relations staff across the Manila branches of Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich, and Burger King through the city’s Public Employment Service Office (PESO). Manila PESO will screen and determine qualified candidates before endorsing them to the company. Applicants must also secure a medical clearance from the Ospital ng Maynila Medical Center, the accredited hospital for this program.</p><p>“We started this program in 2019 with the Manila LGU. Working on this program in the past few years have allowed us to see how our elderly and differently abled individuals have appreciated the opportunity find gainful employment.

For many homemakers, especially moms, this is very much true the moment they step into the kitchen. One simply gets an unexplainable feeling when you put the time and effort into preparing something special for the people who matter to you the most. The same also goes, of course, if you’re at the receiving end of such a selfless effort. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaTB4SIXbsHT7PUO7ZdA4IH6Zr18Eub_Wg8f7TqRIla5l18JD_QV8UpNTOaydUBcdR-PGn4Jcx4dCvCq3MLr2O8rN9GE_pMR3HAygTmfTH8pwaX2ezuA6YanrNFhur0Okg1u-brKjPCpwFWxsxHwDrD1jo2SZETw3lnMLrUj4UkNbcfEa1w5HneiFu4g/w640-h640/J.jpg" width="640" /></div><p></p><p>While moms are real geniuses in the kitchen, however, there are also some downtimes when inspiration can run low.

But, this is a question raised by one of the country's original rock bands, The Dawn, in their new song "Earth."</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrbmtYbBacJWirzR3CyeNvUN0Im1budYPAh0axsl3Oa2AJ06OgmnkIA3RC-rEC6KBuVMGpo-vReN0X4FuysYM5jaqQeXjuWwmP9XdiMMKK4FWSN3pAe3aR18gIRBwN2CNbzbpmrVczaVTc8gjJZCHYHeh-SwNImPpU5iW6oOO5QhNkux0WdX7pnMsw8g/w640-h640/Dawn%201.jpg" width="640" /></div><p>Known for its anthem songs like "Salamat" and "Iisang Bangka," "Earth" asks the existential question, especially amid all the political, social, and even personal uncertainties.</p><p>The Dawn frontman Jett Pangan explains, "We, as human beings, when we’re faced with troubles that seem insurmountable, we tend to look the other way. Maybe not to say we’re in denial, it's more of the fear of the unknown. It’s been a struggle to be a human being. There’s always the question, can we go on like this? Is this the way we’re supposed to deal with things? Is there a better way?"</p><p>He pointed out that it’s not condescending but, in fact, he asks himself the same question. The pandemic also raised that big question. “We're all hoping that after all these we become better people," he said.</p><p>Trust The Dawn to come up with a song that is timely and relevant. Society has seen a rise in mental health concerns among the youth. In fact, a study by the University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI), highlighted that between 2013 and 2021, there are twice the number of young Filipinos who felt loneliness, sadness, and being disliked.</p><p>One of the band’s guitarists Rommel “Sancho” Sanchez, emphasized that “Is love still a thing,” can also be read as “is empathy still a thing?” Sanchez said that with the mode of communication now, it’s easy to be snarky. Their hope is that through this song and with this one powerful line, people will pause, reflect, and hope that they can be a little kinder.</p><p>Apart from the significance of its lyrics, there are a lot of reasons that make “Earth” distinct.</p><p>It was recorded during the pandemic and every member of the group had to record individually. The Dawn drummer JB Leonor shared he made a story with the drum parts alone. There’s a reason for every note of the drum.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_yzEf-wRrokpEdwGVUEXWRbVtKUc_SWdVUJMAPLlrB687LNu0uesISzX28P1TVCOilATPwH7NNLAq0yBrtf5GobnonUfO4yogRoEJyGTXzRSAKmZre86fON0QnZoaX-Locxyz5OpmNKfyOAJTC7_quvAaqBA7K_MBk1caF4cjeCZUmBLiEg8AaYYGZA/w640-h428/Dawn%202.jpg" width="640" /></div><p>“Earth” is the last song that their bassist Mon Legaspi recorded before he passed away. And it was an ode to him that they committed to finishing the track.</p><p>Sanchez was the last one to record the guitar parts. “I lost the recordings when my hard drive failed. We had to ask permission from Mon’s sister and asked a friend to help extract his parts. It was really difficult for me to record my parts,” he said.</p><p>The song itself went through a lot and now that it’s here, it is definitely a treat not only to the loyal fans of The Dawn but to everyone who appreciates great music.</p><p>The reception to “Earth” inspires the band to keep on going. Credit goes to Francis “Kiko” Reyes, one of the guitarists, who said that during the pandemic, the band continued to connect creatively. Pangan enthused that with all his rally calls and with the reception to the new song, all fingers point to a new collection of songs or an EP.</p><p>Recognizing also how dynamic the music industry is these days, The Dawn wants to make sure they are a part of it. He added that the labels and genres now are blurred and people are more accepting when they listen to music. They do not specify if a song is too rock or too hip-hop.</p><p>Through the years, The Dawn has been blessed with a platform to be heard and this time, it’s their new song “Earth.” There’s no line to cross now that music has melded in all genres. And The Dawn has a lot to offer and being the true rockstar that they are, they are just going where the music takes them. No pigeonholing, just true love for music.</p><p>Listen to The Dawn’s Earth now on Spotify and YouTube. </p>Mark My Namehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15434983542627374173noreply@blogger.com0
