The Outpost: The Ultimate Chillax Hub

March 2nd, in Features by Jan Raymond Conadera

The menu includes crowd favorites such as chips n’ salsa or Outpost nachos (for appetizers), the Brazilian pork belly (rubbed with coffee granules), the island buzz tuna salad (pan-seared tuna on a bed of lettuce), sizzling tuna sisig, pan-fried cream dory with cucumber and mango chutney, beef tapa with cajun potatoes, and mango crepe (for dessert), considered the best in town.

Sinulog@Night: 30 Years And Stronger Than Ever

February 2nd, in Circuit Training by Jan Raymond Conadera

What is Sinulog you ask? Depending on what kind of person you are, there are two very different answers to that question. Being one of the grandest and most colorful festivals in the Philippines, people anticipate the celebration in the Queen City during daytime or nighttime.

Earlier, there’s a street parade, which features participants in bright colored costumes dancing to the rhythm of drums, trumpets and native gongs. A day before the parade, the Fluvial Procession is held at dawn through the channel between Mandaue City and Mactan Island with a statue of the Sto. Niño carried on a pump boat decked with hundreds of flowers and candles. The procession ends at the Basilica where a re-enactment of the Christianizing (that is, the acceptance of Roman Catholicism) of Cebu is performed. On the feast day at the Basilica del Sto.
