Ormoc Mayor Richard Gomez, dapat tularan

By: Chan-Chan Torres on April 26, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , ,

 Mayor Richard Gomez



 Action speaks louder than words.This is how Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez works on a day to day basis even before COVID-19 affected the lives of Filipinos nationwide. 

 Sa totoo lang, nu’ng una, nakukumpra pa si Mayor Richard sa ibang bagitong mayors na laging bida at pinupuri ng mga netizens sa social media. Well, it didn’t affect him at all, because he knows that his constituents believe in him and the work he puts in for the people of Ormoc.
The hardworking at madiskarte Mayor of Ormoc
Nitong nakaraang linggo laman ng balita si Mayor Goma dahil sa good vibes niyang dala hindi lamang sa mga Ormocanons kundi pati na sa buong bansa. Ito ay dahil sa pa-bigas ni Mayor. Aba, namigay siya ng tig-isang kabang (1 sack) bigas sa tig-isang household sa Ormoc at iba pang supplies na hindi na kailangang magpalista pa ng mga tao sa barangay o munisipyo. Katwiran ni Mayor Goma, ang ECQ o Enhanced Community Quarantine ay isang emergency state ng bansa. 

 Making a list is just a waste of time, baka matapos lang daw ang ECQ ay hindi pa matapos ang pamimigay ng donasyon.

 Puring-puri si Mayor Goma hindi lang ng taga Ormoc kundi pati ng ibang netizens worldwide. Ayan, mas lalong pressure ito sa ibang local officials na galingan pa ang performance nila lalo pa’t very observant at competitive na ang mga tao ngayong may social media na. Congrats again, Mayor Goma!

Ang ECQ o lockdown ay panahon din ng pagpapakita ng malasakit sa kapwa at pagsi-share ng blessings. Siyempre, kanya-kanyang kuwento ng donasyon ang mga artista para sa mga kababayan at frontliners nating in need. 

 Isa si Ara Mina sa iilan who generously and willingly gives her time, resources and effort to those affected by this lockdown at maging sa mga ospital sa Manila at Luzon ay nagbibigay si Ara ng donasyong pagkain, gamot at iba pang supplies. 

Ara Mina: Nagmagadang loob, natarayan pa
Last week, Ara thought of giving away some cosmetics at kasama ito sa kanyang self care kit for her two chosen hospitals. Ito ay bukod pa sa food, masks at iba pang binibigay niya. 

 May ilang nag-appreciate pero may isang nurse na hindi nagustuhan at nag-comment pa sa post ni Ara na, “Thank you. But at this point, make up is not on top of priorities. Food is more essential for their daily needs.

 ” Nagpaliwanag si Ara na ito ay gift at bonus na sa mga items kasama ng food na naunang ipinamigay niya. Sadly, na-misinterpret ito ng ibang tao. Haaay.

 Aliw kami sa vlog ni BB Gandanghari sa You Tube huh. Living alone sa Los Angeles CA si BB at ngayong lockdown pa rin doon, she makes use of her time cooking, doing household chores and running errands. (I watch her show on YouTube. Nakakaaliw-Ed).
Bb. Gandang Hari
How true, dedma daw ang mga kamag-anak niya sa kanya nung na fake news na pumanaw na siya? As in, wala man lang daw may nakaalalang kamustahin siya even through private messaging sa social media? Ayun, kaya emote si BB pero bilib kami kasi matatag pa rin siya. Go, girl!

EAT: Bacolod's Batchoy, the local merienda for all seasons

Batchoy, a Bacolod City's pride




Want something hot to satisfy your cold summer nights craving?
A bowl of piping hot batchoy will surely be a hit!

 Batchoy is a favorite meryenda for the Ilonggos and Bacolodnons as well, ke umuulan o mainit ang panahon, a batchoyan is a go to place for those who want something that will satisfy their tummies, at talagang masarap pa. Piping hot bowl of batchoy with a pair of Manapla Puto–a perfect combo to fill my hungry tummy

Batchoy originated from La Paz, a district in Iloilo City in the the province of Iloilo, island of Panay. Later on, Ilonggos around the region created their own version of how they would prepare and cook this noodle dish. The specialty crossed the waters to Negros Island because as history says, folks from Iloilo would travel to Negros for either business or leisure. Others later on relocated to some parts of the province while most of them opted to stay in Bacolod.


Sarap!
At present, there are local restaurants in the city that include batchoy as one of the stars in their menu. Even in carinderias and small eateries anyone can order this Ilonggo noodle fare. It’s easy to prepare and one can even make his/her own homemade version. In fact, most of the ingredients are readily available in the public market. Just make sure the pork innards are well cleaned before cooking.

In Bacolod, some of the restaurants that serve Batchoy are 21 Restaurant, Super Batchoy House, Chinky’s, Roli’s, Ted’s and Quan. Of course, hindi papatalbog ang mga karinderya sa kanto, may sarili rin silang version ng batchoy.

A bowl of special batchoy usually has the following ingredients:

batchoy noodles
thinly sliced pork liver
thinly sliced pork meat
pork intestine (chopped)
1 fresh egg (optional)
bits and pieces of crunchy pork cracklings (chicharon)
loads of toasted garlic
sping onions (chopped)
batchoy broth

Others establishments add extra trimmings such as the very sinful pork brain (Oh, your cholesterol pleaaase!), and other pork innards but I prefer to have my own batchoy fix without these cholesterol-loaded stuff. As long as the broth is flavorful and the noodles are firm, a bowl of special batchoy is enough for me. And I really do get excited as I smell that strong garlicky aroma while it’s being served. Come to Bacolod soon!

Sharon Cuneta, balik Social Media

Sharon is back





Megastar Sharon Cuneta is active again on her social media account after being in hiatus for a month or so. Surely, her fans have missed her because Sharon is one of the stars who shares details of her activities regularly to keep her followers updated. Pero bakit nga ba nag-leave si Sharon sa IG ng ilang linggo?
Sharon is very active in her Instagram
Bago pa nanahimik si Shawie sa IG, nag-post siya tungkol sa tiwala at kung gaano kasakit malaman na ang pinagkakatiwalaan mo ay tinatraydor ka. Siyempre, nagtaka agad ang followers ni Mega, sino ang may kakayahang gumawa nito sa kanya? Burado na ang post na ito ngayon pero umiikot ito sa pagkawala ng tiwala at pagkadismaya ng Megastar sa taong ito.

 Dahil dito, samu’t saring chika na at ispekulasyon ang lumabas mula nang I-post ito ng Megastar.

 May mga nagsasabing ka-trabaho raw ni Sharon ang tinutukoy niya sa post at aktres din daw ito?

 Na kesyo humiram daw ng mga mamahaling alahas ni Mega pero hindi na isinoli? But you know, this is too vague.

 Malabo ang mga ganitong chenes at wag basta magturo, di ba? Ang kalurky, pati si KC Concepcion dinadamay sa isyu? Wag naman po.

 Hindi natin alam ang puno’t dulo ng gap ng mag-ina kaya unfair kung idamay si KC sa emote ni Shawie.

Bamboo
Does Bamboo have haters?

 Yes, Bamboo Manalac, the famous Rivermaya rock icon and now one of the coaches of The Voice Teens is a victim of fake death on the internet for the fourth time.

 Recently, the news on Bamboo’s “death” circulated, kasabay ng namamayagpag na CoVid kaya talagang marami ang nagulat at nagtanong tungkol dito.
Sa true lang, hindi ko kinagat ang balitang ito.
Halatang gusto lang magpapansin ng ibang tao sa gitna ng CoVid scare at the expense of Bamboo kaya kung anu-ano ang nilalabas na balita.

*****

 Hindi nakakatuwa ang CoVid na ito. Maraming naabalang buhay at gawain lalo na sa mundo ng showbiz at iba pang kalakalan.

 Eto nga, kamusta kaya ang kita ng mga pelikulang palabas ngayon na Motel Acacia at Hindi Tayo Puwede?

Angelica Panganiban and Coco Martin in Love or Money
Kung kelan may social distancing at community quarantine saka naipalabas ang mga ito. Sayang.

 Hindi na rin tuloy ang MMFF Summer Film Fest, postpone rin daw ito dahil sa CoVid scare kaya di rin mapapanood ang Love Or Money entry nina Coco Martin at Angelica Panganiban na ang most of the scenes were shot in Dubai pa. Maudlot man sandali ang pagpapalabas nito pero sabagay buti na rin yung maingat tayong lahat.

Hopefully, everything will get better in the coming days.
