But one visionary and digital innovator has successfully navigated these turbulent times by launching a groundbreaking e-learning platform for lawyers.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Atty. Peaches Martinez-Aranas of ACCESS MCLE successfully established the first-ever digital platform for legal practitioners who wish to comply with their Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE). “Even as early as 2017, way before the pandemic, we were devising ways to better cater to the needs of lawyers as far as MCLE is concerned. The future is digital, and we foresaw the need to bring MCLE online – making it more accessible and convenient for all lawyers across and even outside the country,” shares Atty. Aranas, who is also the Managing Partner of the boutique law firm, LMA Law.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Atty. Aranas is truly a visionary and a trailblazer, having paved the way for MCLE to be delivered online and on demand. Until ACCESS, this was but just an idea.<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-snaPZTc3S4s/YBFTzUtRGVI/AAAAAAABPkU/3zfNcY2qnQkiDKRKaZLPD2XCn_0B9ToWQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1276/blouse%2Bblack%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1276" data-original-width="1242" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-snaPZTc3S4s/YBFTzUtRGVI/AAAAAAABPkU/3zfNcY2qnQkiDKRKaZLPD2XCn_0B9ToWQCLcBGAsYHQ/w311-h320/blouse%2Bblack%2B2.jpg" width="311" /></a></div><p style="font-family: sans-serif;"></p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">It was Atty. Aranas who conceptualized online MCLE in 2017, and together with her team, presented and defended this before the Supreme Court (SC) en banc in November 2019. “It was really through our efforts that MCLE online is now a reality. Before us, many talked of doing it but no one really pursued it with passion and excellence like we did. And though others have followed suit, we remain to be the country’s trusted leading online MCLE provider with courses that are designed to educate,” Atty. Aranas says proudly. “We don’t want lawyers to just comply with the mandatory requirement of the law, we want lawyers to actually learn. We want them to enjoy and draw real value from our courses.”</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Having the concept approved and securing its accreditation from the SC was a meticulous and grueling process – especially as ACCESS was the first to present such a groundbreaking idea. “We meticulously curated the curriculum with Dean Ada Abad and the faculty of Adamson University’s College of Law. We partnered with esteemed legal luminaries to share their knowledge and impart their expertise through our online courses. We worked with a team of dedicated instructional designers who spent hundreds of man hours developing courses that will engage lawyers to absorb and retain knowledge. Finally, we collaborated with a young, creative agency and production house that specializes in developing learning modules to ensure top-quality courses.”</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">With every new release, ACCESS MCLE explores the creative expanse and power of online learning. “When we think of true online learning, it should be engaging and participative – and not just watching a lecture online in video format. This is not best practice. We want our learners to be glued to our courses. Thus, we have developed courses that are fully interactive with features that enhance learning.”</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Some of these features include the follow-along transcribed lecture guides, interactive games and quizzes, and AI-assisted attendance checker.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Regarded as the new “netflix for lawyers,” ACCESS MCLE makes compliance easier as it offers lawyers utmost convenience. These courses are online and on demand. They can be taken anytime, anywhere, and can be watched from the comfort of your own homes and offices. Moreover, lawyers don’t waste time in traffic or lose precious billable hours.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Some of the legal luminaries who have lent their expertise and who are headlining some of the very courses on ACCESS MCLE are Retired Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, Associate Justice Cathy Manahan of the Court of Tax Appeals, retired Associate Justice Magdangal De Leon of the Court of Appeals, Deputy Commissioner for National Privacy Commission Atty. Leandro Aguirre, Chief of the Legal Division of the Bureau of Immigration Atty. Arvin Santos, and retired SEC Chairwoman Atty. Teresita Herbosa, among others. It’s definitely a power-packed network. “So lawyers can now learn from the best without having to leave their homes or fly to Manila just to hear their lectures,” says Atty. Aranas.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">To date, ACCESS MCLE has a full course of 36 credit units with over 22 courses now live and available on its website – with 14 more coming this January and February 2021.</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">“We believe that Philippine lawyers deserve online courses that are global in content, design, and delivery. For us at ACCESS, this is not just a business; this is our legacy. We are committed to elevating online MCLE and uplifting the Philippine legal industry through education that is accessible, of high quality, and which is at par with the education in first world nations.”</p><p style="font-family: sans-serif;">Want to know what sets ACCESS MCLE courses apart?

Whenever we encounter problems or hardships, the tendency is to either fight or fly. This song however tells us to do the opposite: Be Still.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyFv4_QW8VM/X8L-KMfdZMI/AAAAAAABPME/ls1nV79rJjE3_AJi1SdMY9ReHP-5KVQ1gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1118/Producers%252CComposers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1118" height="263" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyFv4_QW8VM/X8L-KMfdZMI/AAAAAAABPME/ls1nV79rJjE3_AJi1SdMY9ReHP-5KVQ1gCLcBGAsYHQ/w440-h263/Producers%252CComposers.png" width="440" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia, serif; text-align: justify;"><p><span style="font-family: georgia, serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p>Be Still is a praise album created by Maria Chew along with some of her closest friends. It differs from other praise albums in the sense that each song has its own story to tell and is aged through time.</span><p></p><div style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Creation</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The sound of each song is an expression of how unique God’s creativity flows through every individual. Some chords are unpredictable, some will surprise you, and the creators mostly used 7th & 9 chords in their music. Paired with the unique arrangements by Eric Pablo, this resulted in ensuring that every song is a different experience.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Creating this album for Maria has been a lifelong dream but as with anything worth doing, there were hardships and challenges, the main one being that of scheduling. In God’s perfect time, despite the fact that the creator, singers, and arranger live in different countries, things started to fall into place and in one day, the singers, the recording studio, the sound engineer and everyone’s schedule all matched.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Singers</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZteM6ZTX4PU/X8L-tSO4agI/AAAAAAABPMM/Glty5iy8C7chxvmNCbVwT_aPcoMWs9EJACLcBGAsYHQ/s1863/The%2BSingers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="805" data-original-width="1863" height="215" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZteM6ZTX4PU/X8L-tSO4agI/AAAAAAABPMM/Glty5iy8C7chxvmNCbVwT_aPcoMWs9EJACLcBGAsYHQ/w497-h215/The%2BSingers.png" width="497" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The singer for “Be Still” which is the song cover is Jenny Pagalilauan. Maria and Jenny used to be bandmates but lost track of each other and then reunited with the help of Facebook. Jenny was the perfect choice because she has a strong solid mature voice, especially when reaching high notes. She sings 3 more songs in the album: “Fullness of Joy,” “Wonderful Savior”, and “Lord of My Life”.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Faith Purificacion sings “Touch My Heart” which is a creation of Pastor Eric as well as “He Restores My Soul” which is a collaboration between Maria and her eldest daughter.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The only male singer in this album is Zaldy Reblora. He is from the music ministry of the church that Maria used to attend to and his voice is perfect for duets as well as “I Pray in Jesus’ Name” which is a song that was composed 20 years ago.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Cover Song</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">“Be Still,” is very applicable in today’s predicament, and in any situation people may have. When we are stressed, when we have no peace, when we don’t know what to do, just be still, and seek God. He will give us peace that passes all understanding. Trust in Him because He cares for you. And even when we are happy, be still and meditate on the goodness of God in your life.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">This is why the song was chosen. In this day and age where everyone is in a hurry to post, like, share, comment, and just get on with things, it is important to remember that we need to be still and stay still. This is the only way we can communicate with God and hear His message for us. Be still.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Listen to the song “Be Still” through SoundCloud, YouTube, Amazon Music, Apple Music/iTunes, Spotify, and also on other digital stores worldwide.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">To listen to the song, click the link here:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DvZFYfw-OVtg&source=gmail&ust=1606657499188000&usg=AFQjCNFJExYEdZq4UqZ4lWSMghd6JElE0g" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZFYfw-OVtg" rel="noreferrer" style="color: #4285f4; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Be Still (Track #5 of the album "Be Still") - YouTube</a></p><div class="signature-text" style="color: #888888;"></div><p></p></div><div class="signature-text" style="color: #888888;"><br style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /></div>Atibapangpangyayarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06828733100184507950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19743089847842868.post-64325334100350748512020-11-14T18:25:00.004-08:002020-11-16T01:19:09.138-08:00Koomi launch its celebration of 1st Birthday with Waterberry Wonder Yogurt Cake<p> <span style="text-align: center;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ON-7l3fPtFM/X7CNWOSnSqI/AAAAAAABPFQ/VXufJAs2eFEkEMYe-roNRZk9H_37fuH8gCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/125760295_2712121699054846_3291511282952097039_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="428" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ON-7l3fPtFM/X7CNWOSnSqI/AAAAAAABPFQ/VXufJAs2eFEkEMYe-roNRZk9H_37fuH8gCLcBGAsYHQ/w428-h428/125760295_2712121699054846_3291511282952097039_n.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="l60d2q6s d1544ag0 sj5x9vvc tw6a2znq l9j0dhe7 ni8dbmo4 stjgntxs qlfml3jp inkptoze e72ty7fz qmr60zad jm1wdb64 qv66sw1b ljqsnud1 g6srhlxm odn2s2vf" style="animation-name: none; border-radius: 18px; color: var(--always-white); font-family: inherit; max-width: 564px; overflow-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden; padding: 7px 12px 8px; position: relative; transition-property: none; white-space: pre-wrap; word-break: break-word;"><div class="q9uorilb d2edcug0 hgr3rsts l9j0dhe7 ii04i59q c1et5uql e9vueds3 j5wam9gi pipptul6" dir="auto" style="animation-name: none; color: var(--placeholder-text); display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.2308; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-left: 11px; position: relative; transition-property: none;">Yesterday, November 15, 2020 Koomi one of the brand that overcomes the paws of pandemic in the Philippines despite of the lockdowns ,closing of shops, and services of any kind.

The brand’s last event was a fun and energetic one, ending the festivities on a high
note. The #JoinTheBoobment Manoeuvres Fitness Dance-a-thon, also
streamed via Facebook Live, was one and half hours full of high-energy dance routines
and happy people viewing and donating. The renowned dance group took viewers down
memory lane, as they danced to the hits of the 70s all the way to the hits of today,
making it a fun event from titas to millennials.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9pKO07sm4V8/X6Nn8S9O6WI/AAAAAAABO_w/T_1kQvWj4qQaNgRt0GeRmpQu0L_0pg_ZwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Screenshot_2020-10-24-19-26-05-58_2ef548bf47261a0f379d52645eb41568.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9pKO07sm4V8/X6Nn8S9O6WI/AAAAAAABO_w/T_1kQvWj4qQaNgRt0GeRmpQu0L_0pg_ZwCLcBGAsYHQ/w180-h400/Screenshot_2020-10-24-19-26-05-58_2ef548bf47261a0f379d52645eb41568.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">During this session, Jason and James

Almost all of the businesses are closed and cannot adopt with the changes. But not with the Dampa Express bossings , they are one of the only few businesses that stay strong and make the business flourished because of the determination and hard work they put in that makes them "Dampa King" Simon Lim and his partner Ron.</p><p>Dampa Express continues to live up to its name as your go-to place for affordable, fast, and convenient seafood a la carte treats even during and despite the pandemic!</p><p>“Our strength is that we’ve tried to do away with all the inconveniences and complications of most seafood restaurants,” owner Dampa King Simon Lim, Jr, explained. “We’ve dared to go against the trend of posh high-brow exclusivity.</p><p> “Our outlets are not fancy restaurants, so people feel welcome and comfortable, but they’re air-conditioned. And, we have an enclosed videoke room for small family gatherings, like birthdays and baptismal celebrations.”</p><p> Making Seafood Accessible to People</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGR6MsurJ4o/X4JvRRLs8JI/AAAAAAABOtk/bgQeXGfs2zk4UyhgEHI8r-NuFZWC_zsjgCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/120823091_3865164420178365_7268934373552184715_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGR6MsurJ4o/X4JvRRLs8JI/AAAAAAABOtk/bgQeXGfs2zk4UyhgEHI8r-NuFZWC_zsjgCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/120823091_3865164420178365_7268934373552184715_n.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JCa3IU0LUKQ/X4JvBRyyeoI/AAAAAAABOtc/t57pwXsmuSoVphPPjWySA1X3WxqqrLYDQCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/120813623_257964778890070_115059422453523449_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JCa3IU0LUKQ/X4JvBRyyeoI/AAAAAAABOtc/t57pwXsmuSoVphPPjWySA1X3WxqqrLYDQCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/120813623_257964778890070_115059422453523449_n.jpg" width="200" /></a></div></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IWl5cxnCP3Q/X4JxVKvGGSI/AAAAAAABOuA/Btewi2NeZjoaaa4a2s_DZbLA8e1lYTexgCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/120815636_338961693995346_7919410963898704016_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IWl5cxnCP3Q/X4JxVKvGGSI/AAAAAAABOuA/Btewi2NeZjoaaa4a2s_DZbLA8e1lYTexgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/120815636_338961693995346_7919410963898704016_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yiPBc0qKiLs/X4JwW5lLoZI/AAAAAAABOt0/KLCJoO4iMlsqxsLO3BHAoxcauA9BQ_PdwCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/120837966_363618634790985_1824268576176487641_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yiPBc0qKiLs/X4JwW5lLoZI/AAAAAAABOt0/KLCJoO4iMlsqxsLO3BHAoxcauA9BQ_PdwCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/120837966_363618634790985_1824268576176487641_n.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k9yP2RaIdio/X4JwNaDtFFI/AAAAAAABOtw/KhejNQMo8dMK7nPRSnc1lOwkDIuJFTq6QCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/120826476_344011436806054_6794798361426292056_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="750" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k9yP2RaIdio/X4JwNaDtFFI/AAAAAAABOtw/KhejNQMo8dMK7nPRSnc1lOwkDIuJFTq6QCLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/120826476_344011436806054_6794798361426292056_n.jpg" width="200" /></a></div></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"></div><p style="text-align: left;"> “Customers do not have to spend too much money on live seafood, worry about picking the right shellfish or getting the weight of crabs for your family, and wait a long time for your orders to be cooked.”</p><p>All customers need to do is visit one of their going on 30 branches, including those that are soon to open, and order from an exciting menu of family-sized seafood sets. </p><p>If they’re afraid to go out or travel—or are worried of catching COVID-19 in wet markets for fresh seafood to cook at home—they can simply dial Dampa Express’ hotline or message them for home deliveries!</p><p>“We want customers to feel comfortable. So, we advise them to make reservations if they plan to dine in on Fridays and Sundays because they might not find enough seats if they walk-in.”</p><p>However, note that Dampa Express meals are priced and prepared for families. It’s known as the original house of seafood bilaos. “We have no solo meals and we do not compete with fast food outlets. We aren’t a fancy restaurant but we’ve intentionally veered away with fast food value meals and rice toppings.”</p><p>Banking on Seafood Being Pandemic-Proof</p><p>“What we have are bilao [large women tray] sets that at P1,100 is more than a bargain for 3 to 4 people!” shared the Dampa King. “And you can upsize that to a killer bilao, our top of the line bestseller, except for sauce-based dishes.” </p><p>It’s interesting, however, that Dampa Express’s specialty, alimango sa bilao [crabs in large woven trays] was discovered by accident. </p><p>“A lawyer friend ordered crabs and for lack of a better packaging for the crabs, had it delivered in a large woven tray. He took a picture of the generous serving and posted it on social media.” The post generated a lot of likes and bombarded him with inquiries, “so we started using that packaging to represent our brand.”</p><p>Now, alimango sa bilao gets from 50 to 100 orders on an ordinary day to 200-250 orders on special occasions like Mother’s Day, on holidays and during the Christmas season December, ringing in a total of P300K at its peak!</p><p>“If you’re curious what makes our cooking tick, there’s really no secret to it. We just cook seafood the dampa [cottage] style, plus we don’t stock. What’s delivered today will be out by end of the day. So, everything is as fresh as they can get.”</p><p>“The only thing we don’t have readily available are lobsters but these can be pre-ordered,” reveals the Dampa King.</p><p>Rising Demand for Seafood Deliveries</p><p>“I thought I'd lose everything during the pandemic, but to my surprise sales grew exponentially with greater demand for deliveries,” confessed the Dampa King. “It turned out that seafood is pandemic proof!”</p><p>“We’ve survived with group service, offering a lot of variations—we have shrimp in eight variations, and banking on seasonal demands. In January, for instance, when people are dieting meat dishes are on a low, so our tuna sales go up!” he explained. </p><p>He acknowledges a great deal of this success on efficient and early deliveries, too. Just what the sensitive nature of seafood dishes need and for this, he says, “Grab is a real gamechanger!”</p><p>With only the Greenhills branch closing shop for reasons not related to the lockdown, the restaurant chain had to let go of 100 people overall given that branches had to temporarily suspend operations.</p><p>“I’m confident, however, that looking for new cooks and staff wouldn’t be hard because we offer more than the P160 per day and 1 free meal that other paluto [cooked to order] outlets give.”</p><p>Thus, Dampa Express continues to operate on 300 employees who receive the minimum wage plus all the government-mandated benefits they deserve as food service workers. </p><p>“Despite the ECQ resulting in only half of our staff coming in to work, we just held on to the motto that as long as there are orders and people want seafood, we don’t stop,” avers the Dampa King.</p><p>Expanding after A Surprising Demand</p><p>Dampa Express wasn’t a childhood dream or a dream that took to long on the planning table. In fact, it was just a business enterprise that a Gold’s Gym marketing consultant, who rose up the ranks to vice president, got interested in. </p><p>“I only wanted one restaurant for my wife, but fate had a different plan for me,” he remembers thinking along the lines of Gerry’s Grill or JT’s Manukan. They opened their first branch at Xavierville in Quezon City, before moving to a bigger location on Kamias Road, just a few hundred meters away.</p><p>“When we opened one branch, people really welcomed the idea that soon, everyone wanted a branch near their place—it was totally unexpected!” He nearly closed a deal with a Singapore-based restaurant operator before COVID-19 came. </p><p>“The demand keeps on growing so much so that one prospect even offered an exorbitant amount that was really hard to refuse just to buy the name, but I thought it’s too early for that. Another one from Dubai wanted to get the full rights to put up branches in the UAE, which I declined,” narrates the Dampa King.</p><p>Now, this phenomenal brainchild of Simon Lim, Jr, and his best friend Ronald Iledan, is going on 30 branches, of which 10 are provincial franchises and 10 are company-owned. </p><p>To date, Dampa Express serves around 2,000 customers daily in all their branches combined. “From the fruit of our labors, we’re able to open a private resort in Pampanga, with a giant crab image as tribute to our success: katas ng alimango [the fruit of selling crabs].”</p><p>Holding the Title of Dampa King</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UVkMOKyuF28/X4JyeniEOsI/AAAAAAABOuI/AZHyfTEix88TDyeFmISItGCOn5Fh3mTaACLcBGAsYHQ/s960/120998241_386410622364764_3535065490079726271_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="960" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UVkMOKyuF28/X4JyeniEOsI/AAAAAAABOuI/AZHyfTEix88TDyeFmISItGCOn5Fh3mTaACLcBGAsYHQ/w490-h213/120998241_386410622364764_3535065490079726271_n.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Murals make by Mr. Simon Lim</b></span></div><p style="text-align: left;">“We make the biggest order for crabs in this part of the world. At one time, our orders reached P10.5M worth of crabs!”</p><p>This unprecedented success as an innovative seafood restaurant that pioneered “affordability, accessibility, and accelerated service” in the Philippines has earned Simon Lim, Jr, the title of Dampa King.</p><p>“The irony here is, I don’t cook and neither do I eat crabs,” he admitted. “I’ve been called Mr Alimango, Mr Dampa, Crab King, or Dampa King because I’ve successfully brought Dampa Express to communities and expanded on the dampa concept.”</p><p>Dampa Express now boasts the biggest number of branches among any Philippine seafood restaurants, making it the biggest seafood chain in the Philippines. As a result, the seafood resto business is now a multi-million industry.</p><p>The Dampa King’s success goes beyond the marriage of luck and business acumen—a feat that the media has praised for achieving the perfect balance in maintaining a day job as a gym employee and growing a business—to his earnest desire to help his staff and acquaintances grow with the business and to always buy local.</p><p>“I make it a point to source everything we use and serve from fellow Filipinos. For instance, all our itlog na maalat [salted duck’s egg] and bilao are from Pampanga. We’re 100% Pinoy to give back to the community.”</p><p>He still buys all of his vegetables from the ambulant vegetable vendor peddling on their street. “He used to go about pushing a cart then when he started supplying all Dampa Express branches, he was able to buy a pedicab and now, he’s driving a car!” </p><p>Dampa Express is now accepting franchise and partnership applications nationwide and for overseas as well. For the full menu, reservation, delivery and more information, please call 0917 5311703 or +632 79441036 or visit @dampaexpress.official on Instagram and Dampa Express on Facebook.</p><p><br /></p>Atibapangpangyayarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06828733100184507950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19743089847842868.post-5502209061550803762020-09-24T03:24:00.003-07:002020-09-24T03:27:04.543-07:00 A strong finish: Nursing student and fitness coach hailed as Century Tuna Everybod Superbod 2020 winners<p> </p><p>

Oneof the plays, Collector’s Item even made it to The Virgin Labfest. These stories are pure fiction, slightly odd and surreal: Clowning Around is a quirky love story about a Clown and an emotionally unstable girl. Collector’s Item is about best friends, a bully and a nerd, fighting over a college crush. The third story is loosely adapted from The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde, and tells the story of the Gardener of an Enchanted Garden, and his dilemma of choosing life or death in the twilight of his years.<br />

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata based on a series of 13th-century songs, while La Traviata is an Italian opera that tells the ill-fated story of a beautiful young courtesan wasting away from tuberculosis and her relationship with a young bourgeois from a provincial family. These timeless works of art will be seen in new light with Ballet Manila’s sophisticated dancing and creativity.<br />
<br />
Rudy de Dios, a former principal dancer of Ballet Manila, created a choreography based on the music of Carmina Burana, including the famed "O Fortuna." On the other hand, Ballet Manila CEO and artistic director Lisa Macuja Elizalde brought the story of Violetta and Alfredo to life once again by choreographing La Traviata.<br />

“The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is not just about selling books to target readers; we hope to change the habits of society and their mindset to empower and inspire someone to want to pursue a dream. Many of us are not raised with the habit of reading, but I believe that it’s never too late to start. It is just our third visit to Manila but we have started to witness the power of books being able to transform lives. We try to bring the price of books as low as we can so that it will not be a barrier for anyone who wants to read. Last year, we created an impact by creating more readers in four different cities in the Philippines including Manila, Cebu, Davao and Pampanga,” said Jacqueline Ng, Co-Founder of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale.<br />

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale believes that reading and learning should be universal and from that idea, their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm, Red Readerhood was born. At the Red Readerhood corner at the Sale, visitors are encouraged to donate books that will eventually make their way to those who need it the most. To kick-start the initiative, the Sale has pledged 1000 books to Gawad Kalinga, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale’s longstanding partner, a Philippines-based poverty alleviation movement that aims to provide a better life for the poor by teaching them self-reliance. The collected books will be distributed by Gawad Kalinga to the people in the affected communities of the Taal volcano in Batangas and to the communities, barangays and public schools in Mindoro to provide them with psychosocial rehabilitation.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">Last Saturday February 8, 2020, we had a good time tasting this great Filipino food offered at Rafael's Tapa's Bar located at the New Wing of Resort World Manila which was being managed by a son who just want to pay tribute to his father who has left them 3 years ago, showing some respect and honour for the foods that they are having as a family while lingering and enjoying so much as day after day without noticing that it one day comes to an end.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">Entrepreneur </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700;">Henjie Carmona </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;">launches </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700;">Rafael’s Tapas Bar and Restaurant</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;"> at </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700;">Resorts World Manila</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> to share his father Rafael’s passion for home-cooked dishes, his mother Petronila’s elegant homemaking, and his penchant for art collecting to the upscale hotel-casino complex’s food, wine, and fun loving clientele of high rollers, junkets, and the fancy set.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
“I want to<span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">offer them a place to come home to not only for familiar but original home recipes that have been leveled up for their discriminating tastes,” he said, “but also to cozy up, chill, and unwind after spending hours playing and gaming.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Although he’s a communication research graduate by degree and initially a banker by profession, Carmona has been in the hotel and restaurant industry for more than two decades now. His group having pioneered the condotel (condominium + hotel) format and the executive breakfast lounge, he wanted to challenge himself further by offering ala carte.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Here are the Lessons he learned from His Father:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">“Opening Rafael’s isn’t a childhood dream, but everything that went into it has been inspired by my dad who taught me all I need about food and cooking,” Carmona confessed. “First, good food is all about freshness—meaning, nothing stays long in the freezer, nothing canned is used, and everything is made in-house, even the pasta and especially the sauces.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">He reminisces how his father never allowed helpers to cook, reserving that privilege and honor for the head of the family, and made sure to prepare their meals himself every weekend despite being swamped by his business all week.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">“I’d remember craving for his signature dinuguan (pork blood stew) and lechon (roasted suckling pig) pairing while Matt Monroe wafts in the air,” he recalls, adding that this time it’s not just about taste, but also being Instagrammable. Thus, all Rafael’s dishes are plated with delicate artistry worthy of being photographed and shared (pun intended).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">“Second, you never ask your guests if they have eaten already or if they want to eat or not,” Carmona explained. Not only would it put off guests as an excuse for lack of preparation or not having enough food, it would also give an impression that hospitality is not one’s forte,</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
He assured<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> that there’s no compromising quality in the dining experience at Rafael’s, where groups of 10 to 15 can avail of the posh Petronila VIP mezzanine room for a consumable reserve price of P200K which comes with the mandatory Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV that can be</span><span style="color: red; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">hooked up to Resort World shows. “For that, it’s the sky’s the limit from cocktail drinks at P400 per pop to exquisite bottles of Remy Martin Louis XIII and Dalmore 25!”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">“Third, food is everybody’s game,” Carmona concluded, “just like my father said everything’s done with food: deals closed, relationships opened, victories celebrated, wrongs amended, and sins forgiven.” Nobody loses with food and the best businesses invest in it.</span><br />

For their signature tapas or appetizers, they have their ritzy rendition of chicken skin—<span style="font-weight: 700;">Chicken that Crossed the Road</span> (P380) served with chili malt vinegar, pickled carrot, and radish puree, which are extra crunchy along with their classy version of gambas—<span style="font-weight: 700;">Miss Gump in Hot Flashes</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> (P720) with black garlic and Chardonnay roasted chilis and lemon.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
For dinner, they have <span style="font-weight: 700;">First Love</span> (P1150)—spicy soft shelled crab risotto with homemade chorizo and chicken thigh charged with lemon—which is as crispy as they are tasty and <span style="font-weight: 700;">Blackened Angus Ribeye</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> (P2900)—prime steak with corn and zucchini succotash and chimichurri sauce—which is the most expensive standalone item on the menu.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
Capping every meal or visit, guests ought to make sure they try <span style="font-weight: 700;">The Big Bang Theory</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> (P390)—a delicately sweet triple nut, three-layered cake of butter and dark chocolate cake revelation, their version of “Choc Nut”, revealed Chef Jinggoy Fernando—for dessert to complete the Rafael’s experience.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.15; padding: 12pt 0px;">
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">“The concept behind all these is simple,” Henjie Carmona said summing up: “I want Rafael’s to be that kind of place where you always want to come back to every day because it’s home and the food reminds you of family,”</span></div>

Staying online for more than 10 hours, the average time that most Filipinos are connected to the internet, may lead to a number of health risks. The reason why Last January 24, 2020 Herbalife conducts a Press Conference with Dr. Dana Ryan a leading sports nutritionist who held the directorship for Sports Performance and Education of Herbalife Nutrition.<br />
<br />
Unless youre doing a physical activity while youre online. Its not healthy to stay inactive for ling periods of time. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), insufficient physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for death worldwide. It increases the chances of serious diseases such as cancer and diabetes . Dr. Ryan said.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SGkoEANyZa4/XjPxH_w4spI/AAAAAAABLrk/56NIsc6veksSdo1qRnLHuLZlRJRWlqPlwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/1580461712114_Photo%2B1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1118" data-original-width="1500" height="297" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SGkoEANyZa4/XjPxH_w4spI/AAAAAAABLrk/56NIsc6veksSdo1qRnLHuLZlRJRWlqPlwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/1580461712114_Photo%2B1.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
According to the WHO, more than 80% of the worlds adolescent population is insufficiently physically active with 1 in 4 adults not active enough.<br />
<br />
Not all of us may afford a gym membership, but that doesnt excuse us from not being physically active on our own. Noted Dr. Ryan. Take up some physical activity that you love . That way, you won’t see it as a chore, so can do it regularly.”<br />
<br />
She added that having a workout buddy would also be helpful as youll get to motivate each other. Find a class or program that you can attend together. It also helps to set a goal for yourself. This way you wont see it as a chore, so can do it regularly.<br />
<br />
Walking to work, setting reminders to stand up every 30 minutes, standing during breaks, getting up during TV commercials, and using the stairs instead of taking the elevator are also some of the ways one can have a physical activity in a day.<br />
<br />
A member of the Herbalife Nutrition Scientific Leadership, which is comprised of leading experts from around the world in nutrition, science, and health, Dr. Ryan likewise advised against cutting certain macronutrients from ones diet.<br />
<br />
For example, some people believes that they only need protein and cut out carbs from their diet. This is not true. When it comes to keeping healthy, just always remember balance, as the body needs a complex blend of nutrients to remain healthy. She said. Indeed, Herbalife Nutrition Philosophy recommends that you get about 40% of your calories in the form of beneficial carbohydrates whole grains, beans, vegetables, and fruits, along with 30% from proteins and no more than 30% from fats.<br />
<br />
At the same time Dr. Ryan pointed out the importance of balancing what you eat and what you burn. Balance the calories that you take in and what you burn, and your weight would remain stable, she said.<br />
<br />
Dr Ryan added that staying online is not bad in itself, Its just that people should remember to be active at times, rather than becoming to absorbed in the online world that they dont move for hours.<br />
<br />
Also try to look up helpful tips on how to remain fir from reliable organizations. Look at the celebrity or influencer you admire as an inspiration, but dont stress yourself into achieving what he or she has. The important thing is to remain active and healthy. Dr. Ryan concluded.<br />

Boutique developer Golden Bay Land Holdings is making waves in the real estate industry today. The company recently announced that its maiden project, the 11-storey Aspire Corporate Plaza in Pasay City, is on track to be turned over to clients by June 2020-one year ahead of its original target completion. If this signifies anything, it is the prospect of a promising future for Philippine real estate through out-of-the-box concepts designed and implemented by the young minds behind this company.<br />

Jardin Brian B. Wong, the 29-year-old Chief Operating Officer of Golden Bay Land Holdings, has been trained in business as early as age six. He currently leads this rising company with values and principles of humility, perseverance, compromise, and smarts. Like his own parents-businessman Bong Wong and former public servant Cely Bernardino - the story of Golden Bay Land Holdings is also a rags-to-riches one. “We started out with only three employees and our office was only less than 30sqm. It was just a former function room at a hotpot restaurant,” recounts Wong. “Now we are a total of 50 with a prospect to hire at least 15 more.”<br />

Golden Bay Fresh Seafood Restaurant, one of the businesses under the corporation being led by the Wong family, helped paved the way for Golden Bay Land Holdings to be created. Through the collaborative effort of the company's stakeholders and partners, the concept for Aspire Corporate Plaza was realized. With the massive development of residential properties in the area, they were inspired to build an office property on the 3.5005qm lot sitting behind the now iconic restaurant, which was among the first establishments to be built in the Bay Area when it first opened several years ago. “Seeing all the residential properties being built around the restaurant the first thing that came to mind for us was. ‘Where will all these people hold their offices?’ That’s how we thought of Aspire Corporate Plaza,” recounts Wong about how the company together with their partners, decided to enter the real estate business.<br />

The building was designed with the mid and upper-scale clientele in mind. “Our smallest cut is at 92sqm~a perfect size for a growing enterprise. We also made sure the units are combinable and flexible for future modifications, plus all the units are without columns so no matter the location, you’re guaranteed that you’ll receive a good size or good cut, and you can maximize the office space.” Wong describes.<br />

Through dedication, proper management, and some help and advice from mentors, Golden Bay Land Holdings is now one of the fastest-growing real estate developers in the country today. Partnering with prestigious construction companies such as Megawide Construction Corp., Asya Design Partner, Sta. Elena Construction and Development Corp., D.A. ABCEDE & Associates, and Meinhardt Philippines. Inc., Golden Bay is able to deliver on its first project at a truly impressive late.<br />

White Aspire Corporate Plaza is currently at its finishing stages, Golden Bay is now preparing to work on a bigger, more ambitious project: a mix-use mini city in Bacoor, Cavite that aims to be the next go-to place for young families living south of the Metro. It will feature residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, tilled with amenities that are more functional than just aesthetical.<br />
<br />
“It is our advocacy to help young Filipino families build their dreams by investing in a house that they can call their own.” says Wong. “We feel that the lack of housing has been the burden of generations and our answer to that is to provide quality housing at reasonable prices. I guess this is our contribution to nation-building by helping the middle-aged generation build a brighter future for the next generation.”<br />

Last Friday December 6, 2019, held at Discovery Primea Ayala Avenue Makati City held a press conference which entitled Sunlife's Market Outlook for brighter economy on 2020 .<br />
<br />
The Philippines' economy is projected get better and grow faster based on the observation of Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc.<br />
<br />
According to Sun Life Chief Investments Officer Michael Enriquez, after reviewing the fundamentals, they are confident that the economy is set to significantly improve in the coming year. "While we can still expect challenges along the way, these should be tolerable and may be balanced by the positive developments."<br />
<br />
Some of the factors that are in a favorable position to act as a springboard for the Philippine economy in 2020 are lower prices and accelerated government spending.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gMvahPjvLXs/XfDRvLtG56I/AAAAAAABLWM/zECHcYDS0zIq_JSJ8iTzuoaq4CLifaOOQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG20191206114453_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gMvahPjvLXs/XfDRvLtG56I/AAAAAAABLWM/zECHcYDS0zIq_JSJ8iTzuoaq4CLifaOOQCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/IMG20191206114453_01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
"While inflation fell to a low of 0.8B in October 2019, we expect prices to slowly inch up as we foresee the year 2020 inflation at 24%. This figure is much lower than 2018 inflation of 5.21%," Enriquez added.<br />
<br />
Sun Life also expects the government to go full force on capital outlays, with the administration having only two year left in its mandate.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) may also be in for a spike. According to Enriquez. Sun Life sees a 2019 GDP of 5.8% with the 2020 GDP getting stronger at 7%, strongly caused by the combination of base-effects, the recovery of consumer spending, and a stronger government spending adapting from the errors leading to the budget delay of 2019.<br />
<br />
For currency, Enriquez said that a range of PHP 50.70 to PHP 52.50 to a dollar is possible "Our year-2019 USDPHP forecast is at 51.00, and 2020 slightly higher at 52.50, he explained.<br />
<br />
For equities, although this year proved to be fairly volatile in nature, Sun Life expects the Philippine Stock Exchange index to end at 8.600 on a best-case scenario. "Our PSEI target for 2020 is at 9.460 with a price-earnings multiple of 18.2 times, while we foresee the earnings to have a growth rate of 10.40%, Enriquez mentioned.<br />

The Best Asian Sports Team honor was handed to the Japanese Rugby Team who shocked the world at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, where they served as hosts. After winning the Pacific Nations Cup earlier in the year, Japan was grouped with Russia, Ireland, Samoa, and Scotland. The Brave Blossoms’ 28-21 win over Scotland made them the first Asian team to top their group at the Rugby World Cup and the first Asian team to make it to the knockout stage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka was named Best Asian Sportswoman of the Year. After being named WTA Newcomer of the Year in 2016, Osaka famously defeated Serena Williams in the final of the 2018 US Open to become the first Japanese Grand Slam singles champion. She followed that up by defeating Petra Kvitova to win the 2019 Australian Open and became the first Asian player to be ranked first in the world in singles. Only 22-years-old, many believe that the best is yet to come for Osaka.<br />
<br />
As if he doesn’t have enough accolades already, the only eight-division boxing champion in history, Sen. Manny Pacquiao, was awarded the Best Asian Sportsman of the Year. Pacquiao started the year by retaining the WBA (Regular) welterweight title via a 12-round unanimous decision over Adrien Broner at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Seven months later at the same venue, “the Pac-Man” won the WBA (Super) welterweight championship via a 12-round split decision over Keith Thurman.<br />

Aside from Ronaldo, also present at the two-day conference and awards night was track and field icon Dr. Edwin Moses, chairman of the education committee of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The American is a sporting legend in the 400m hurdles, having won gold medals at both the 1976 Montreal Olympics and the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Yet on top of his many accolades, Moses has arguably accomplished even more after his track and field career as he has served as chairman of the Laureus World Sports Academy in 2000 which seeks to promote and increase participation in sport at every level, and also to promote the use of sport as a tool for social change around the world. Moses joined Ronaldo onstage for the “Icon 2 Icon” talk as they discussed their lives both during and after their athletic careers ended.<br />

At the helm of MAPFRE Insurance is Mr. Tirso Abad, President & CEO, who shared the company breakthrough during the said event held on November 26, 2019. “This development shows the strengthened presence of MAPFRE Insurance in the Philippines, with a significant investment that will contribute to the industry and most especially improve the lives of Filipinos,” he said.<br />
