When dining in a Filipino restaurant, we rarely get the full assortment of recipes we have in our country. The Philippines, being an archipelago, has a vast definition of Filipino cuisine. Filipinos from different parts of the country’s cluster of islands have been honing their own recipes and practicing different variations of a similar dish such as adobo and sinigang. For years, most Filipino restaurants in the country serve only their perspective regional recipes. The north has theKapampangan recipes which gave us Sisig and Pinakbet, the south has given us InasalnaManok and KaninsaPuso, but not many Filipino restaurants have given us all of these recipes under one roof.

It seems that I have come a long way from a simple lass in the province of Davao del Sur to a true blooded Dabawenya that knows what I want! I was brought up in a conservative way and grew up in a family that loves excursion every weekend, to beach trip, travel to different places, and other fun get-togethers that aren't always complete without something refreshing, like icy cold Coca-Cola. Walang kaparehas sa ngiti, walang kaparehas sa Coca-Cola.

I learned to appreciate the Visita Iglesia after doing it in Davao City many years ago while I'm still a graduating college student. I did it several times over the years in Cebu, Bohol, DaanBantayan, and again back here in Davao.

It's a chance to take my family,friends and special someone on a holy week trip to these churches.

  What is “liter of light”? It’s a clear plastic soda bottle filled with filtered water and bleach and installed in the roof as a skylight. The water refracts the sunlight as it streams through the bottle, dispersing the rays 360 degrees, thereby illuminating the entire room. The recipients of the solar bottle bulbs, who pay about $1 for the bulb installation, save money on electricity and cut back on the use of kerosene, candles, and other fuels that are responsible for indoor air pollution and fire hazards. – Illiac Diaz, activist and Filipino entrepreneur.
