5 Things from Our Pinoy Childhood That We’ll Always Love

August 28, 2022

Most of us turn to our childhood for the nostalgia of simpler, more carefree times. A simple mention of a funny or meaningful event from our childhood is enough to get us reminiscing with family and friends. It instantly takes us back to a totally different way of life, making us miss the old times.

This is why we treasure items from the past. Memories and sentimental value make it difficult for us to part with them. Whether it’s things we used to enjoy as kids, pamana keepsakes from our parents, or little things we occasionally used to get as treats, these items from our childhood will always hold a special place in our hearts.

CDs and cassette tapes
Today, we listen to our favorite artists with just a few taps on our smartphones. But back in the day, we still had to go to our favorite music store to grab a cassette tape or CD of their latest and greatest hits. Then, we would pop them into either a Walkman or CD player to listen to the tracks. For music lovers and collectors with a taste for the classics, keeping most, if not all, these music mementos is a must!

Piko, tumbang preso, and other street games
Before the days of smartphones and online games, us Pinoy kids had the streets as our playground. Playtime meant spending an entire afternoon with our friends outdoors. Who doesn’t remember classic street games like piko, tagu-taguan, luksong baka, and tumbang preso, or the thrill of running away from the taya in a round of habulan? We all looked forward to those fun times spent outdoors, and to this day, many of us still know how to play these games by heart!

Jolen, jackstones, and other classic Pinoy toys
Aside from the street games mentioned above, many of us also loved collecting, trading, and playing with simple toys like yo-yos, paper dolls, jolen, jackstones, and teks. Some of us would even painstakingly make our own tirador and saranggola, with plenty of help from our parents. One thing is for sure – we’re all guilty of spending a big portion of our baon to expand our collection of these classic toys!

Film cameras
Many of us were also guilty of playing with family cameras as kids. It was always fun pretending to be photographers, taking snapshots of things we found interesting. However, with only 24 or 36 shots in a roll of film, we had to make every shot count! Fortunately, with film photography now getting popular again, we can still keep shooting with these vintage cameras and relive our days as budding photographers!

Spend a paw-fect day with your fur baby at the Tiendesitas Pet Village

August 17, 2022

Get your pet’s vaccinations updated and make sure they’re at the top of their health at Animal Care Specialists.

Pets and their owners have a secret language only they understand. A simple wag of the tail or even a particular bark or meow is enough to convey a message.

Want to teach your pets a new trick? Teach them the word “Tiendesitas” to let them know that they’re in for a treat! Since it opened in 2005, Tiendesitas Pet Village has earned its well-deserved reputation for being a pet paradise with its clusters of stores that cater to pet needs. From pampering, food treats, grooming and meeting their fur friends to play with, a visit to Tiendesitas is guaranteed to be a great day! Try out this itinerary for a fun-filled day with your pet: 


Shop for all your fur baby’s needs—including food, furniture, treats and grooming needs—at Pet Co in Tiendesitas Pet Village.

Photo Source: Tiendesitas Facebook




First, a health check for your fur baby. Before shopping and playtime, make sure your pet’s vaccinations are up to date and that they are free of parvovirus, distemper, and fleas and ticks! Yes, we know that pets hate being poked at but the good vets at Animal Care Specialists have mastered the art of calming pets down before a routine checkup or injection. Like with humans, prevention is better than cure with pets.

Take your pet shopping. After being such a good doggo at the vet’s, reward them at Pet Co, which offers pet furniture (what’s another cute dog bed that your dog won’t use because they want to be on yours?); wet and dry food; starter kits for new puppy and kitten parents; pet accessories such as collars and leads, diapers and clothing; health supplies like medicines, vitamins, dental care products, flea and tick drops; and grooming products such as toothpaste, shampoo, brushes and more.

Socialize with other pooches! Now that your pet is looking their best after a session at the groomers, it’s time to meet up and play with their friends. Tiendesitas Pet Village also has an open space for your fur friends such as the Paw Park, and hosts regular play dates like Pet Meetup events with dog whisperer and trainer Lestre Zapanta. Pet playdates are a great way for shy pets (especially rescue ones that have had traumatic experiences) to come out of their shell and learn to be around other pets and humans. It’s a fun time for dogs to be dogs—and humans may socialize with each other too. Keep up to date with these amazing play dates by visiting https://www.ortigasmalls.com/events/tiendesitas/.

Let the professional groomers at DivineLife make your pet look like they just stepped out of a (pet) magazine.

Have your pet groomed by professionals. After roughhousing with other dogs, your baby is probably covered with slobber and can use a nice warm bath. The DivineLife staff will trim their excess floof, cut their nails, detangle matted fur, clean their ears and sacs, brush their teeth and make that fur look like a million bucks. DivineLife offers affordable packages and has a staff that genuinely loves animals.

Petville is heaven-sent for pet owners who have no one to leave their pets with when they are away. Petville will look after your pet on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis.

Let your fur baby nap while you shop.  A trip to Tiendesitas is not complete without shopping for food or picking up one or two fashion and home accessories. Or maybe even a rare plant. Now that your pet is properly groomed and tired, take them to Petville by Purple Groom  for a nap while you shop. Petville is heaven-sent for pet owners who have no one to leave their pets with when they are away. Petville will look after your pet on an hourly basis, daily or weekly. It’s a pet hotel that truly looks after their well-being by providing comfortable accommodations, quality food, and the staff can follow your pet’s routine if you leave them instructions. Make sure to book in advance for short and long stays.

Enjoy more perks for your pets when you become a member of the Ortigas Malls Elite Pet Society. Applicable in all Ortigas Malls - Tiendesitas, Greenhills and Estancia Mall, the membership gives your pets their unique pet ID, exclusive freebies, pet shopping discounts, and even a cake on their birthday when you complete a stamp card! Download the Ortigas Malls mobile app available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store to register.

Tiendesitas is open from 10am to 9pm on Mondays to Fridays, and from 10am to 10pm on Saturdays to Sundays. For more information, follow @TiendesitasPH on Instagram, or visit https://www.ortigasmalls.com/tiendesitas/

"Silidonyo" strikes again??? Kasama diumano ang kanyang mga "Kubrador" at "Depositor"

August 17, 2022



Hot item! There are rumors propagating that within this present administration that there's a  government solon who's using his power and according to sources he has two men... the "Kubrador" ( Collector) and the "Depositor." 



Ayon sa source, ang kubrador ang siyang direktang nakikipag negosasyon upang kubrahin ang pera para sa kaniyang tinatawag na “Boss” na si Government official.  Si Kubrador ang siyang tumitiyak na ang pera na nakolekta ay maibigay sa tamang oras at ang isa pang tauhan ang siyang mag de-deposito bank account ng mataas na opisyal.  Nangyari ang negosasyon at palitan ng text messages sa buwan ng Hunyo at Hulyo ngayong taon kung saan magkakahiwalay ang kausap tungkol sa multi-milyong kubrahan ng kanilang isusubi mula doon sa proyekto na dapat pakinabangan ng mga mahihirap.  

Narito ang sample ng text message ni Kubrador “ Request for P100M para inclusive ang mga cabinets, tables and chairs” at “Sa Friday may check release na si (taga-SUBI) .. pls make sure nalagyan ng P100M ni Boss yung account nya Ty” laman ng isang text noong Hunyo 7, ilang linggo bago bumaba sa pwesto si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.  

Talagang bagyo at bigtime si Government official  dahil hindi simpleng tao ang kaniyang kubrador at taga-subi ng nakulimbat na pera, abay tandem ang isang mambabatas at isang negosyante. 


CLUES???

 Ang kubrador ni Mr. official ay may  masamang imahe dahil sa kinasangkutan nito na eskandalo sa gobyerno kaya naman todo ang sipsip nito sa kasalukuyang administrasyon para makalusot sa mga kaso.  Ayon sa ating source, ang halagang kinokolekta ni Kubrador ay P100 milyon para lamang kay Government Official. Mukhang usong-uso ngayon ang P100 milyon sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos Jr.  

Ang taga-SUBI naman ng koleksiyon ni Kubrador ay dating nasangkot na rin sa isang gulo sa pagitan pamilyan ng mga pulitiko dito sa isang sikat na lungsod sa National Capital Region(NCR).  Si Kubrador ay isang lady solon mula sa isang lalawigan at yung taga-deposito o taga-subi ay sanay sa Raket katulad ng kaniyang initial.  Pero ang tumbok ng ating blind item ay si Government official na siyang ipinangongolekta ni Kubrador.  Clue: Napaulat na iniimbestigahan si Goverment official  dahil sa sangkaterbang bank account nito, hindi lang sa Pilipinaa kundi sa ibayong dagat, partikular ng Anti Money Laundering Council.  Ang opisyal na may dalawang kampon na  taga-kubra at taga-subi o taga silid  sa kanyang bank account ay binansagang Mr. “Silidonyo”, dahil “silid dito silid doon” ng kaniyang nakukulimbat na limpak limpak na salapi.



Gets nyo na???

Zark’s Burgers marks 13 years with its 13 Pesos Ultimate Burger Deal

August 10, 2022



targets to aggressively expand store network in two years

An announcement as big and juicy as its burgers, homegrown fast-food restaurant Zark’s Burgers is once again beefing up the better burger game with its 13 Pesos Zark’s Ultimate Burger deal, as it marks its 13th year in the business. 

Zark’s Burgers was founded in 2009 when entrepreneur-culinarian Zark Varona, who was then 23, decided to open his dream restaurant using the salary he saved after working in a cruise ship for two years. Today, Zark’s continues to capture the Filipino market with its ‘Fresh. Huge. Great.’ winning formula, making it one of the fastest-growing local restaurants in the Philippines. 

“Zark has always been known as a symbol of creativity and innovation in the food industry, and that status has been molded out of hard work. “We are able to sustain our growth momentum for 13 years now because we are driven to push boundaries of what’s possible through a constant introspection of what works and what doesn’t,” said Varona. 

In celebration of its anniversary, the 13 Pesos Zark’s Ultimate Burger deal will be offered all Mondays of August, starting August 1. For every purchase of any burger in its menu, one may already avail the Zark’s Ultimate Burger for Php 13 only. The promo is valid for dine-in transactions with no minimum order required.
 
To be eligible, customers must show proof of any of the following: Liked, followed, and shared Facebook or Instagram “Zark’s 13th Anniversary Promo” post; and a personal Facebook and Instagram post or story tagging Zark’s Burgers account. 




Zark’s is known for its wide array of burger offerings—from its loaded-with-toppings Zark’s Ultimate Burger to its multiple patty Jawbreaker and Tombstone under its Challenge Burgers segment. And another burger creation to look forward to is its upcoming burger of the month—Shawarma Burger—which will be launched this August.

For a full meal, it also has in its menu Southern Classics favorites like Buffalo Wings, Chicken Fingers, Fried Southern Chicken Burger, as well as pre-game meals such as Mac N’ Cheese, seasoned fries, and its best-sellers’ Grilled Cheeseburger, Zark’s Mamba & Mac N’ Cheeseburger!


13 years to 100 
On its 13th year, Varona attributes the success of Zark’s to its strong brand following and the quick response of his team to navigate the pandemic by strengthening its online and delivery platforms. 

“We always see opportunities in every situation. We take pride in being natural problem solvers. When the pandemic hit, we took advantage of locations with fewer competitors and opened more non-mall locations to cater to the delivery market 24/7. We continue to pivot and thrive even amid challenging times,” he added.

To date, Zark’s Burgers already surpassed its pre-pandemic sales or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The brand also projects to reach one billion in sales in 2023. 

Before the year ends, it is targeting to have combined 80 stores nationwide. Currently, it has over 60 branches nationwide, present in almost all major cities and malls. 

A multi-awarded entrepreneur, Varona won the 2019 Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year for Small and Medium Business, Tatler Gen T (2020) Award and the 2015 Manila Standard Young Visionary Award. He was also named the PHILDEV Rising Star Awardee in 2018. 

Optimistic for its growth story, Varona shared a bigger vision for Zark’s Burgers. “We are now in the next chapter. Our goal is to reach 100 stores in the next two years.”

Jollibee Group to relaunch Yoshinoya in PH with beefed-up menu and new store design

August 10, 2022


Yoshinoya’s world-famous beef bowl features thin strips of tender beef, slowly simmered in the brand’s signature gyudon sauce and served over Japanese rice. 


MANILA, Philippines. August 9, 2022 – All beefed up to offer a bowl of culinary surprises, the Jollibee Group is celebrating the authentic Yoshinoya Japan experience in the Philippines, with the re-opening this August of the Glorietta 1 Mall branch in Makati of Japan’s world-famous Beef Bowl Chain.

Yoshinoya’s beef bowl features thin strips of tender beef, slowly simmered in the brand’s signature gyudon sauce. The gyudon bowl can be enjoyed in many ways, including adding togarashi, red ginger, green onions, and even cheese toppings. Yoshinoya Philippines also offers “onsen” egg or the traditional Japanese slow-cooked egg with custardy egg white and egg yolk, as an optional topping that makes the beef bowl comfortingly creamy.
 
Also on the menu are other must-try Japanese favorites like tempura, chicken karaage, chicken teriyaki, and beef yakiniku. Yoshinoya’s tempura or crispy fried shrimp is coated in traditional Japanese-style tempura batter. For its karaage, the Japanese Style Fried Chicken showcases thick cuts of chicken leg and thigh marinated in special marinade, deep-fried until crisp golden brown. These dishes are served over steamed Japanese rice.

The opening of the new Yoshinoya store officially seals the Jollibee Group’s first foray into Japanese food. The Jollibee Group recently formed a joint venture with Yoshinoya International Philippines Inc.  to establish the Yoshinoya Jollibee Foods, Inc, which will operate the Yoshinoya stores in the country, with plans to expand to 50 stores in the long term.
