Heart Evangelista goes sari-sari shopping

Heart Evangelista have been capturing everyone’s heart and attention with her glamorous daily outfits and fashion tips.

With the very high maintenance life she’s living, it’s quite difficult for us to imagine her doing ordinary things like a trip to the sari-sari store for example, a challenge that the fashionista gamely took on.

Heart made a shopping dash but this time to a nearby sari-sari store in Kamuning, Quezon City.

This challenge came from one of her followers who replied on her question “What would you want me to do?” in one of her stories.

“Challenge accepted! Sari-sari store shopping! Ang saya saya! It brings back my childhood memories,” -Heart Evangelista, Instagram

The sari-sari experience happened last Thursday, February 24. With her team, the short video showed Heart buying all sorts of stuff, from biscuits to chips, soft drinks and even conditioners.

She first chose a Rebisco biscuit with strawberry filling and pointed out that it’s her favorite and who a red chippy which is everyone’s all time favorite it seems even Heart.

The actress of course looked stunning while doing the visit with her pink silk outfit complemented by her beautiful bleached blonde hair.

People passing by the sari-sari store also got the treat of their life as they got to meet the artist and their purchase paid for. Not really large purchases but small ones like that happy little child who wanted Chuckie, an old man buying Mountain Dew drink and a man who asked for Cobra.

Buying every passerby their needs worried Heart at one point, as she jokingly said on her captions that she ran out of cash. “Ending: wala akong pang bayad. Naubos pera ko”

The video as of this writing has received more than 471,000 likes which goes to show how entertaining it is for people to see how people living such a different life fair in one of our daily lives.

And add with it the enthusiasm that Heart showed and she sure looked like she had lots of fun, as seen through her eye smiles.

Heart recently made headlines on the Paris Fashion Week where she luxury items by Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and many more that she wore were sold out.

With this challenge a success, it’s maybe safe to say that we can expect other videos like her riding a jeepney and eating street food in the future.

PUVs in Cebu now allowed to operate at full capacity

Cebu is moving forward and is embracing the new normal.

Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia officially announced that the Province of Cebu will resume full seating capacity in public transportation beginning today, March 1.

Gov. Garcia said that the continuous decline in COVID-19 cases prompted for looser rules. She also mentioned that now that the economy is progressively returning, more PUVs are needed on the road.

Apart from scrapping the seating capacity, the governor will now allow air-conditioned buses to return to the road. The use of air purifiers by drivers and conductors will be optional, but wearing of face masks would still continue.

Passengers with Covid-19 symptoms are still not permitted to board inside public transportation and are encouraged to just stay at home and self-isolate.

Read the full Executive Order here:

The entire island of Cebu shifted to a more relaxed Alert Level 2 last February 16, 2022 and remains under Alert Level 2 until March 15, 2022.

Aguinid Falls, the 8-Tier Waterfall Wonder in Samboan, reopens

Kawasan Falls is not the only trekking hotspot in Cebu. Aguinid Falls in Samboan also offer 8 levels of various challenges to the waterfall-trekkers and adventure-seekers of Cebu.

Aguinid Falls is one of the more popular waterfalls in the island just a few ranks below the famous Kawasan Falls. For all those who fancy an exciting outdoor adventure in the midst of nature, they will fall in love with the pristine natural surroundings of Aguinid and its lovely rock formations. One of the most unique traits of Aguinid Falls is its light green color which is caused by the calcium-rich body of Tangbo River.

Concealed in the thick of trees and other flora, Aguinid Falls surrounds itself with the peace and tranquility of nature which complement its breathtaking rock formation that creates levels of water cascading from the highest level into the water basin below.

The excitement and adventure that Aguinid Falls brings is perfectly balanced with the serene backgrounds which gives visitors to the falls two ways to experience nature in Samboan. Even before reaching the waterfalls, the trek going to it is already filled with a lot of adventure as it involves a lot of jumping, climbing ropes, and navigating through knee-deep waters.

It takes a couple of hours to fully enjoy and make the most out of your time in the waterfalls. Visitors will be excited to find out that all those hours will be spent getting wet by the streams of water falling from the higher levels.

Not all levels are open to everybody and most are only allowed up to the 5th or 6th levels, depending on the skill of the guides. The upper three levels are reserved for professional canyoneering teams but the experience in the other levels is already enough to make Aguinid Falls an unforgettable destination.

Aguinid Falls is definitely a refreshing way to let some sweat out as well as enjoy a close-up tour of nature through the waterfalls.

RATES AND OTHER INFORMATION

FEES

Entrance Fee: P300 (Inclusive of safety equipment and 2 tour guides)

NOTE: The trek to the falls will get you wet. Remember to bring any waterproof bags if you’re not comfortable leaving your things at the entrance. You can also bring your own waterproof shoes.

Exact Location: Brgy. Tangbo, Samboan, Southern Cebu — 3.5 hours away from Cebu City.

Look for a signage at a nearby basketball court or ask the locals for directions. From here, you can hire a habal-habal driver to take you to the registration area of Aguinid Falls. There is also a parking space for private vehicles at the registration area.

Soon to rise: P14-Million Regional Food Terminal in SRP, Cebu City

Soon to rise: P14-Million Regional Food Terminal in SRP, Cebu City

After two years, the regional food terminal will finally come to fruition.

The Department of Agriculture (DA) in Central Visayas entered into an agreement in 2020 with the Cebu City Government to build a PHP14-million regional food terminal. On February 22, 2022, two days before Cebu City Charter Day, the city government finally broke ground on the project.

Not an actual photo | Photo from Unsplash

The proposed Central Visayas Regional Food Terminal located at South Road Properties (SRP) is a strategic location as the city currently has no landing area of fresh produce like the Carbon Market.

The food terminal will serve as a central storage and warehousing facility and as a trading center where small farmers and fishermen can directly sell their produce to food processors, institutional buyers, traders, and market vendors. This will basically cut the “middleman system” and will enable the farmers to earn more.

The DA will offer the PHP14 million grant, while the city government will provide the lot area. Two food terminals will be built in the north and the south.

According to the local government, the regional food terminal is the long-term solution to food security in the face of food disasters like the pandemic and Typhoon Odette.
