Last holidays, I got the chance to spend my vacation in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. As a Pizza and Burger lover, my partner and I tried this XL Mamma Mia 21 inches which only cost us 595.00Php. Beat that!!
Underestimating its size, we were not able to finish the whole pizza...I consumed six slices only. hehehehe.. hell yeah!!

a gift for dabawenyo

My uncle (a Batanggenyo) from Alitagtag, Batanggas, who grew up here in Davao City bought me a present from his home town where they are staying now with his family. My brother and i got the chance to go there (Alitagtag Batanggas) last month, and i asked my uncle "what is the best souvineer from Batanggas,?" he said in an instant. BALISONG!
Now I have one. hehehe...

While the meaning of the term "balisong" is not entirely clear, a popular belief is that it is derived from the Tagalog Language words baling sungay (literally, "broken horn") as the original balisongs were made from carved animal horns. These knives are also referred to as "fan knives", "click clacks" or "butterfly knives".

Another suggested origin of the term "balisong" is its place of origin. There is a small town in Batangas called "Balisong" where the balisong is claimed to have been invented. Balisongs are handmade and forged there by makers using techniques passed down from generation to generation.

The use of the balisong is so popular in the Philippines that an urban legend exists about every Batangueño carrying it everywhere he goes.^[2] They are a pocket utility knife used by people of Filipino society. They have also been used to fight duels over matters of honor, although such practices have been discontinued for hundreds of years. (from WIKI)
