COTABATO CITY, REESE NEWLY OPENED

Reese all Day Breakfast Ribs Salad Pasta, a newly opened classy and cozy restaurant here in the City last January 30, 2011.

Reese was named after Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon (born March 22, 1976), better known as Reese Witherspoon, is an American actress and film producer. Reese as a famous name, catchy, trendy, easy to say and recall.

The restaurant design is contemporary of modern Filipino. What surprise me more was that the lightning inside would vary depending on the atmosphere outside, clients inside as well as the music. With this you would not feel it’s been 15 to 30 minutes of waiting for your food.

All of the foods in their menu were all their specialties. Here are list of their best selling foods they offer, Baked New Zealand Mussels or Baked Oysters – Provencale at P240, Reese Summer Salad at P180, Baby Back Ribs at P350, Peppered Steak at P695 (this is the authentic cookery of steak) and for the fish lover they had a Beer Buttered Cream Dory Fish with Salad at P175. The food serving are good for two to three persons.

 

They accept booking and reservations. You may call them at (064) 421-1085 and located at Quezon Avenue just beside the Bio Essence.

 

COTABATO CITY: KUNG HEI FAT CHOI

 Cotabato City celebrated the Chinese New Year last February 2, 2011 at City Plaza stage round  3pm to 6pm, in spite of the recent kidnapping of Adin Yu.

The commemoration was initiated by the City Government of Cotabato  to show support with our Chinese community and amalgamation of populace. The Chinese community provided the fireworks display.

Present on that event, I saw Mr. Osacar Tan Abing SR., Mr. Yu Beng Chua, Branch Head and Area Head of China Bank, City Councillors, Barangays and Local Officials, and City Administrator Atty. Frances Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi.

The variety show prepared by the City Government of Cotabato has cultural presentation and choral rendition by Cotabato City State Polytechnic College Chorale and SALAMINDANAO, modern dance and a song number. To officially end the program the sky was illuminated by a 30 minutes of fireworks display.

MAITUM BANGSI FESTIVAL 2011

Maitum celebrates the 4^th Bangsi Festival last January 27 – 28, 2011. The celebration honors the fisher folk who capture bangsi (flying fish) for livelihood. Bangsi is a “marinated flying fish.”

Bangsi Festival ought to give more significance to its ONE TOWN, ONE PRODUCT (OTOP) for a purpose of promotion in boosting the confidence of its fisher folk aspiring for higher revenues as well as its tourism, diverse culture and economy.

This year’s festival theme is “Masaganang Karagatan, Yaman ng Mamamayan.”

My trip to Maitum in covering the Bangsi Festival is one of a kind and magnificent.  The festival is truly worth coming even its quite far from Cotabato City to General Santos City to Maitum, Sarangani.

Majority of the people in Maitum are Ilocano. I have tasted an authentic Ilocano dishes served by ate Beth Palma Gil, it was delectable indeed. People of Maitum are very warm and hospitable.

So next time, you should not fail to watch and experience the grandeur of Maitum Bangsi Festival.

Marinated Bangsi paired by salted egg and black rice. This is now my new favorite.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS IN OBSERVANCE OF FIRE PREVENTION MONTH

FIRE SAFETY TIPS

Have a plan and practice it. This plan should include fire drills. A fire drill can help you practice leaving your building quickly and safely. Don’t forget to talk about different ways you can get out.

During a fire, you should do the following:

· Use a fire extinguisher to put out small fires. You can also use water if the fire is not electrical or chemical. Do NOT try to put out a fire that you can’t control.

· If there’s a fire that is too big to put out, leave the building immediately. You might not have much time before the fire spreads, so don’t even stop to call. Once you’re outside and safe, you can use a cell phone or a neighbor’s phone to call. EMERBASE: 421-3911, OR YOUR NEAREST FIRE STATION, KNOW YOUR FIRE STATION TELEPHONE NUMBER.

· If your clothes catch fire, do NOT run. This could make the fire spread more quickly.

· Instead, stop, drop, and roll! In other words, stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll back and forth until the fire is put out.

· If there is smoke in your house, cover your nose and mouth with a small cloth and stay low to the ground as you’re leaving.

· Smoke is very dangerous to breathe and difficult to see through. Since smoke naturally rises, you should crawl on your hands and knees to exit the building.
