It's going to be a long weekend for the working people next week as Malacañang announced the suspension of work in Metro Manila in time for the ASEAN Summit which will be held in Pasay City.

The declaration was made by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea by authority of President Rodrigo Duterte through Memorandum Circular No. 18.


As stated in the memorandum, all government offices in the cities of Manila, Makati and Pasay will have a non-working day on April 27, Thursday and on Friday, April 28 will be a non-working day for the government and private offices in Metro Manila.

It will be another getaway and good break for everyone.

It’s officially summertime! And we can’t think of a better way to get into the groove of things than with the country’s number 1 tuna, Century Tuna, as it presents three “My Recipe to Sexy” dishes from three of the fittest and sexiest actors today, each one with his own distinct handsome looks, unique talents, and personalities!

We all know Century Tuna as the choice of health and fitness buffs, but it is also the favorite of many foodies out there as it’s a great, delicious addition to any dish. So why not have three of the most popular male actors share their favorite, easy-to-prepare and oh-so delicious Century Tuna recipes?

“Like Gerald, Mateo and Paulo, Century Tuna is very versatile,” relates Greg Banzon, Century Pacific Food, Inc. VP & General Manager. ”You can use it in different dishes, allowing you to be creative in creating your own recipe to sexy!”

First, there’s Gerald Anderson. After becoming the Third Big Placer in the first season of Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Edition in 2006, and after a string of television appearances, movie roles, and as part of a popular love team, Gerald proved his acting worth in the gritty, acclaimed film On The Job.

Next, there’s Matteo Guidicelli. Following a decorated stint in the fast lane as a karting racer garnering numerous trophies, Matteo entered showbiz in earnest, attending drama and performing arts school in the United States to further hone his craft. On top of that, he also released his first self-titled album in 2016!

And then of course there’s Paulo Avelino. Considered in the industry as “The Prince of Teleseryes”, Paulo has starred in a number of outstanding indie movie releases, among them Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa which earned for him the Best Actor nod from the prestigious Gawad Urian.

So what brings these 3 fit and sexy gentlemen together this scorching summer, you ask? They’re the latest faces – and hot bods – in the Century Tuna’s newest summer TVC, one that spells fun and fitness by way of its “My Recipe to Sexy” campaign! For those who’ve not seen the ad which is now airing on primetime TV, it features the trio as “hot cooks” as they respectively present their favorite recipes to a sexy, healthy bod: Tuna Egg Salad Sandwich ala Matteo; Tuna Pancit Canton ala Paulo; and Tuna Silog ala Gerald. All nutritious, delicious, and most of all easy to prepare!

“Breakfast for me is very important,” Gerald shares. “And I wanted a dish that’s a healthier take on the typical Pinoy breakfast so I came up with this super delicious Tuna Silog. “

“I’m always on the go,” Matteo reveals. “I love having a lean sandwich because it’s easy to prepare. Just like my Tuna Egg Salad Sandwich on wheat bread which is healthy yet very satisfying!”

“Tuna Pancit Canton is the ultimate, yummy comfort food – something you can make in a jiffy!” Paulo declares.

In other words, as summer equals frolic and fun under the sun, it doesn’t mean you have to deprive yourself just to stay fit and sexy. Thanks to Century Tuna, which is lean and adaptable, you can easily prepare and enjoy a myriad of irresistible meals. And if you can have these hot cooks as fitsperation, even better!

So…this summer…what’s your recipe to sexy?

If Manila got their Chinatown at Binondo , Quezon City have its Chinatown at Retiro. Yup, you’ll definitely find Chinatown in Quezon City and that is in Retiro. The establishment is more of a Taiwanese cuisine restaurant but it’s more likely of a Chinese restaurant so you’ll find some familiarity.

Chinese are very particular with their culture and when dining they do it together, that’s why you’ll find most of the Chinese/Taiwanese restaurants are designed and created with spacious area. And Tien Ma’s, the one located in Retiro is designed with spacious area to accommodate quite a number of customers. Of course there’s the usual Chinese characters and designs on walls, doors and windows. And the classic Chinese music that let customers feel relaxed.


So if you’re family or friends are looking for a bigger venue to celebrate life’s moment, then Tien Ma’s is one of them.


Oh before I forget Tien Ma’s literary means Mother Tien or Mama Tien. The restaurant was established by the couple and it became known and it was called Mama Tien. Its dish is basically the home cook meal of a typical Taiwanese house. Then it was sought by Figaro to have a partnership with, then later on it was fully acquired by Figaro and became part of the growing number of food establishment owned by the company.





Xiao Long Bao? Well, Tien Ma’s got on their list of menu and what’s great with them is that they got some interesting selection. Lately, this dimsum is making a buzz and I’m not sure when it begun to be a hit but one thing I know, it’s yummy. Their version of Xiao Long Bao got the Original, with Black Mushroom with Truffle Oil and with Cheese, which I really liked.




Next in line of the dishes that we indulge with are the Beef Brisket and Wanton Noodles. I soup and noodles very much. According to Tien Ma’s they make their own noodles that’s why it taste different than any other Wanton Noodles.


The Salt & Pepper Spareribs. If you’re been trying different Chinese restaurant you’ll know that there are some dishes that are present in every restaurant and this dish is one of them.

This one is something new for me, it is enticing and looks appetizing enough to taste. The Salted Egg Prawns. Cooked and coated with a salted egg sauce that is just light, yummy and flavorful. But of course this particular dish for me should be taken lightly and rarely.
Tainan Fried Chicken is best taken with Taiwan Style Fried Rice. And as Pinoys our meals always comes with a rice.





Now if these selection fills your tummy, well better think again because there still dessert.


The dessert line up Pan Fried Sesame Pancake, Almond Jelly with Lychee, Mango Sago, and Melon Sago.


This makes my day and take note I haven’t tried some of their dishes yet so we’ll definitely find time to visit again.

We have been posting videos of interviews, events, and coverage of different products, personalities and outdoor activities through our Youtube Channel which is the Kwento Ni Toto Channel. We've noticed that we need to make a change and upgrade more of what we are doing with our blog and channel.

So to even make it more personal starting from this video that we've posted we will be having more faces of Toto whenever we're telling a story. Where we've been, who we've interviewed and a whole lot more of our face and voice. So no more pictures of Toto during introduction of the video. We will be turning this channel more into a VLOG channel. Becoming more of a YOUTUBER.

This will be hard for me because I'm more of an offcam kind of person but because of my will to overcome shyness and develop more of my on cam personality I'll be practicing more. So bear with me and be gentle.

For those who have been our followers for quite sometime thank you for having my channel present in your desktop, laptop or other mobile devices. A big thank you!

Since this is our start of going real and 4D I am happy to share that I'll be doing something interesting in the days to come. So better stay tune with my channel and watch out for the big announcement.

We already did a write up and story about this young and rising artist. You can check out that story here "Geca Morales" or Maria Angelica T. Morales.   The story is about the debut of her single and of course about her achievement last year at the World Championships of Performing Arts where she just won Gold Medal for the Female Vocal Rap Category and Silver Medal for the Rock Category. Now isn't that some talent to watch out for!

Just this weekend I was able to have an online interview with her. I wanted to have our conversation recorded of which I was able to but unfortunately the audio didn't work out well. So I might be able to upload the video but it doesn't have any audio in it.

So we did the chat and video at the same time. Oh before I go on with our conversation I must say first that it was lovely talking with her on video chat. She accommodated my request to interview her and what else... she really is beautiful. I must say she really pretty on cam.

Okay now we head on to that interview. I prepared just a few questions because of the limited time.

• How long have you been singing?

Well according to her she was already singing when she was still young, perhaps most of us have gone through that stage, that is according to her mom. When she was in elementary she was able to sing in one of the school activity and when she finished singing her classmates were whispering and laughing. According to her the teacher to her classmates about that incident but that particular event made her stop singing. Perhaps it was a trauma.  

She sung again when she was enrolled at Center for Pop Music and that was when she was in college already.  Then the competition at the World Championships of Performing Arts and up to now.  

•  Who taught you how to sing?

According to her no one did teach her how to sing not until she begun formal training the Center for Pop.  

• Any relatives who's into singing or perhaps celebrity?

She doesn't know of but according to her mom there was this great great grand father who was a celebrity. That's all that she know of. 

•  What and where was the first competition you've joined?

The one that she mentioned when she was in elementary. There was also one that where it was recorded and she won. And the recently was in the World Championships of Performing Arts. According to her the first and the recent one are both live while the 2nd was only a recording. 

• Who are your influences in singing?

She mentioned three (3) names that influenced her singing, one is Carmen Duo (from youtube but not really sure if  I had it correct), the second was Beyonce and the last was Nicki Minaj. 

• Since you won the World Championships of Performing Arts Gold Medal in the Female Vocal Rap Category and Silver Medal for the Female Vocal Rock Category, which of the two would you like to pursue more, rap or rock?

Her answer was that she wanted both and she thinks she can merge these two (2) genres. Though she wants to, still rap is what loves. According to her she also does composing rap songs. Not the whole song but just some few lines. She wanted more to be inclined in the rap genre because according to her there were few female rap artists. 

• What are you going to do this summer?

Well, she answered that she'll be doing mall shows this summer. She'll be doing more shows on the provincial side where she could reach more of her fans.  

So, that's how our interview goes and what I like is that she's still game with our interview even though we're having technical problems with our internet connection.

O by the way she'll be having the launch of her first music video "Oo, Ikaw" under MCA.

Here's what you'll expecting of her

She'll be Guesting at Tee Radio this coming March 29 at 10;00AM and at the same time is the official launch of her music video on youtube.

She'll be at WISH on March 31 at 7:00PM and lastly watch her mall show at Harbor Point Subic on April 2, 2017 at 2:00PM.
