Image
Climate change has left the planet vulnerable to the harmful effects of natural calamities. The Philippines is ranked 2nd among the countries that will be most affected by climate change by 2020 (tied with Bangladesh).  Now more than ever, disaster resilience is of the utmost importance to the country. This was the pronouncement made by National Resilience Council (NRC) president Antonia Yulo Loyzaga during the recent launch of the NRC’s Adopt-A-City campaign. The program is an innovative city-specific partnership model that will link the resources of private sector companies with the Local Government Units (LGUs), academic partners and the communities themselves in transforming their climate and disaster risk landscapes and establishing their resilient LGU systems. Loyzaga, together with Cagayan de Oro (CDO) City mayor Oscar Moreno, and SM Prime Holdings Inc. chairman of the executive committee Hans Sy, signed a memorandum of understanding to seal the partnership for SM Prime

Hodai Fusion Japanese Cuisine

Today, many restaurants are booming in the country that specialized in Asian Cuisines. But there's only few that offers a Korean and Japanese fushion. No doubt that this is the new trend since the Philippines was influenced by  Korean and Japanese in terms of fashion, food, music, etc. Recently, I got a chance to visit Hodai Restaurant. From the name itself, it sounds Japanese. Hodai means "all you can" in Nihongo. This restaurant offers an unlimited fusion Japanese cuisine. For all the foodies out there who have already tasted an ordinary japanese food like Tempura, Gyoza, Teriyaki and among others well, you will surely love the taste of what Hodai offers. They're all savory and have a distinctive flavor that you haven't taste from other restaurant in the Metro. At Hodai, the customers can choose different sets of menu in a very reasonable prices. And yes, it is unlimited and you can eat all you want. Take note, they have rice and miso soup too!
