Connecting People on the streets with The Coffee Mobile

Wake up to the scent of coffee on the streets being served by The Coffee Mobile.

A work of art and a passion project borne from the mind of the coffee connoisseur, Paul Manzano, The Coffee Mobile was something he started at the height of the pandemic. With the experience that he gained as a former barista, Paul thought of spending his free time during lockdown in making his own brews and sharing it with his neighbors. From there, everything just started to kick off.

SERVING COFFEE ON WHEELS

The Coffee Mobile (TCM) serves a variety of coffee brews to accommodate the different types of coffee drinkers. There are bottled cold brews, or Bottled Elixirs as Anzano calls them, in bold, creamy, rich, and rum-infused variations with high quality local and international coffee beans as the main ingredient.

TCM also serves Pour Overs using a featured “Coffee Bean of the Week” and Espresso Beverages such as Americano, Latte, Cappuccino, and White Choco Latte. Customers may order the Bottled Elixirs by messaging their page or they may catch “the coffee man” himself in action personally brewing their orders.

CATCH THE COFFEE MOBILE

Anzano’s favorite thing about TCM is that there is no set destination. He can go anywhere he wants as he shares the wonder of coffee on the streets and foster connections among and with the people that he meets. TCM posts on their social media pages about their next destination so that people are able to follow them. Sometimes, they even roll out, vintage-style, in an old-school Volkswagen Kombi to mix things up a little.

BIRTH OF THE COFFEE MOBILE

For as long as he can remember, Anzano has always been fascinated with wheeled objects, specifically skateboards and motorcycles. As his love for motorcycles deepened with time, he found his second love, coffee, when he started working as a barista.

It amazed him how, with a simple cup of coffee, people are able to connect with each other. With the time and resources that he had as an adult, he thought of sharing this love to people in the street and combined the two things that he loved the most. Thus, The Coffee Mobile was born.

7Es Pilapil Park Resort: The Easy Fix to Vacation Needs in Liloan

It’s sad when busy schedules aren’t able to accommodate that long and dreamy vacation that everyone’s been waiting for.

Good thing, 7Es Pilapil Park Resort is situated just an hour away from Cebu City.

This quick getaway resort is nestled by the roadside and near the bridge of Catarman, Liloan. Despite being by the roadside, the actual resort inside is surrounded by luscious plants and trees that provide enough verdancy for a relaxing natural background and gives the space some seclusion, removing any trace of the city from the inside.

The pebbled ground and stone footpaths lead the guests towards the swimming pool shimmering with bright blue colors and rustic rooms made of bamboo and nipa roofs. Both the beach and the pool area are equipped with nipa hut cottages that can accommodate a fair amount of people and they come complete with benches and tables.

Lining the perimeter of the pool are lounge chairs that are perfect for basking under the sun after a refreshing dip in the pool. Otherwise, they can spend their downtime just observing the koi fishes swim in the fish pond at the corner.

If guests prefer fun activities with everybody then they can sing and jive on the videoke machines that are available in the resort. Food won’t be a problem since the owners also installed a convenience store just by the pool but certain drinks come with corkage fees so it would be better to purchase drinks from the store.

Outside the main resort is a public beach that is frequented by locals and travelers alike. The beach area is exposed near the roadside but the shallow water is spacious enough to accommodate a lot of people. During high tides, the waters rise up to the level of the seaside cottages with ankle-deep waters that kids enjoy splashing in.

The nipa hut rooms offer the privacy and security that the guests need and they are extremely relaxing as well. They are all equipped with air conditioning, comfortable beds, and curtain-covered windows. What’s more, the rooms are connected to bamboo porches with benches and tables for the guests to relax in especially in the morning after waking up. Nothing can be more peaceful than spending a minute or two soaking in the morning air while sipping coffee on the porch.

Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Shrine: A Scenic Place of Worship in Bogo City

It is evident in Philippine history that this country has been strongly influenced by the Catholic practices of the Spaniards and many historical landmarks and buildings throughout the country show proof of that. Cebu is no exception and it is even home to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, the center of the Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival, or more famously known as the Sinulog Festival.

In the far reaches of Cebu, specifically in Bogo City, lies Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Shrine. The Miraculous Medal is a medal that, when blessed, is believed to have the special protection of the Mother of God. It was first called the “Medal of the Immaculate Concepcion” but is now simply known as “The Miraculous Medal” due to the numerous cures and protection given by the Blessed Virgin Mary to those who wear it.

Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Shrine in Bogo City was built and erected through the desire of the Parishioners of Bogo, Cebu to spread devotion and share their faith to the residents of Bogo. There were obstacles in the establishing of the holy ground but through faith and time, Our Lady of Miraculous Medal Shrine was finished. The building of the shrine three phases with each phase involving the three major parts of the shrine – the shrine itself, the construction of the Chapellate for the Blessed Mary, and the landscaping of Mary’s Hill.

The Shrine is located by the side of the road in Brgy. Lapaz, Bogo City. The shrine is located at the top of a hill and has an overlooking view of Bogo City. From the road below, it takes more than a hundred steps to be able to reach the top and visit the shrine. Refreshing winds and a panoramic view of the verdant sceneries of Bogo City can be witnessed at the top with a vast park of green grass surrounding the shrine in the middle.

The top of the hill is filled with the calming atmosphere of Bogo City and the divine protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a relaxing place for those who practice the faith to be able to communicate with the Blessed Virgin Mary without being disturbed.
