Per Philstar, Cebu is experiencing SMAZE, a mixture of Smoke and Haze, in the past few days and just today or lately, it's getting worst.  But per Engineer Oscar Tabada, Director of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration-Visayas, "there is light to moderate smaze hovering over the region based on their hourly observation and monitoring." In addition, PAGASA stations in Davao, Cagayan and Palawan have also reported “thick” presence of haze hovering over their areas. (Credit to Philstar)

    Smart's #NoCashOut Encourages iPhone Users To Share Saved Money To Charity

    A famous Social Media post goes like "iPon muna bago iPhone (Savings first before getting an iPhone)" but what if we can do both?

    Christmas Season is definitely the best time of the year. Only on this season, you can witness the  glittering bright lights everywhere, decorated trees and ornaments that are proudly displayed in Parks and Malls. Also, this is the only Holiday that you're eager to hear children caroling with drums and “tansan tambourine” and singing joyful Christmas Songs in the neighborhood and inside the Church. The best part of this celebration is how people show generosity and love to each other; to officemates and workmates, to families, relatives and to friends and most especially to strangers. The time of sharing on this Yuletide season is truly in the air!
     
    Our adopted Street Children who enjoyed their fried Chicken and Spaghetti
    I couldn't help but smile with these poor children, their stories were cute and adorable!

    When I saw and read some Social Media posts that Smart is offering a "No Cash Out" to new iPhone’s units (6s and 6s Plus), I got excited to learn more about this news! Not because I will grab this latest iPhone model for free but the idea of saving as much as PHP 6,000 is a different feeling of satisfaction. I remember Christmas of 2013, together with other Best Cebu Blogs Awards organizers and volunteer Bloggers, we fed a number of Street Children in Mandaue City. Seeing those innocent eyes smiling while eating good foods while we’re listening to their random stories would fill your hearts with contentment and happiness. How about receiving those sweet "Thank Yous"? that's a joy in heaven here on earth that cannot be replaced by any costs. And how much we spent for that short moments? If I remember right, we only shared more or less PHP 2,000. With this good news from Smart, imagine how many homeless children we can feed and share our Christmas blessings?

    Those smiles! Priceless, right?!



    They say "only poor people understand poor people" but even if you're part of the high class of our Society, I think this is a good chance for you to show that you have the heart and that you care. I suggest not to cash out an iPhone but grab this opportunity by SMART. You can save at least PHP 6,000 for iPhone 6s (Plan 2000) and PHP 4,000 for iPhone 6s Plus (Plan 2499). With this saved money, what's your idea of a perfect Christmas then?

    Be an intelligent spender, Merry Christmas Folks!

    Mabiyaan ko na kining tanan
    Palayo sa kabanha sa syudad, ako mulaag
    Padulong sa kahilom sa among payag

    Kuyogi ko's akong lakaw

    Ang Biko ni Nanay
    Gihandum ko kanunay

    Ang pasko sa amoa

    Didto kon diin ang manaygonay
    Dili gyud yabag
    Way paki, nakatingsi  bisan pag pangag

    Kon ikaw walay lingaw
    Kuyogi ko's akong lakaw
    Ali, tana...

    Repeat Chorus

    Ang kasadya
    Didto sa among probinsya
    Ang Kahugyaw
    Nabati mo kaha...

    Giihap ko ang mga adlaw
    Ug dyutay nalang

    Order Home Cooked Desserts And Dishes From Wok With Ef

    They said "Nothing beats home cooked dishes" and last weekend, I agree for the second time. Together with other Two Food Bloggers of Cebu Bloggers Society, I finally tasted "Wok With Ef"Cakes, Cookies, Cupcakes, Pastries and Dishes. Inspired to a Chinese cuisine cooking show starring Stephen Yan, "Wok with Yan", Efryl Isidro's version Wok With EF is truly a must try by Cebuanos as she caters different kind of Desserts most especially this upcoming Yuletide Season.


    Ef prepares everything personally. She goes to the Market to pick and choose ingredients as she wants her products to be remembered by Customers as freshly done. Wok With Ef offers different kind of Desserts for orders and at the same time, she give Cebuanos the taste of "Tagalog" Dishes like Sisig, and others. Wok With Ef started in Manila where Ef delivered her Desserts and Sweets to big companies and some neighborhood friends who became avid fans of her masterpieces. Now, she's here in Cebu and she's excited to share her Sweets Collections to Cebuanos especially in the area near to her home like Lapu-Lapu City, Mandaue and some near locations of Cebu City.

    Without further ado, here's a list of Cakes in which FaceCebu.Net personally recommends ( by RANK ).

    Why Did I Join Cebu Food Crawl ?

    Last November 27 to 30, Cebu Bloggers Society, a 7 year old Blogging Organization in Cebu successfully organized two events days before Christmas Month, CBS Talks : Best Blogging Practices and Cebu Food Crawl (CFC). With the support of SMART Communications, CBS got productive in those Four Days and was able to help in promoting Local Restaurants in the Tourism Industry. Do you know why FaceCebu joined CFC?


    Here are top reasons why FaceCebu joined the event and at the same time, suggestions to inspire Cebu Bloggers to attend the Second version on August 2016.

    1. Get to know Cebu Bloggers Society and its Members

    Unlike any other organizations, CBS has been passionate to Blogging and to its members' development. The organization was founded by yours truly, Mark Monta on February 14, 2008 thinking I could helped Cebu in promoting its Tourism to the World. And I think, I was successful. The only Blogging Organization in Cebu that most Businesses support and believe. CBS never uses its members for self benefits but of course always seeing the greater good for everyone. If you're new to Blogging, CBS is the right family that you can go and learn more.

    Cebu Food Crawl was organized and managed by Cebu Bloggers Society with a special mention to Atty. Ethelbert Ouano of Nindotkaayo.com who headed the event. With the help of more than 20 Cebu-based Bloggers and 3 out of town Bloggers, the event went successful.


    2. Gain Blogger Friends




    CFC Participants were not complaintive about the excess eating they were doing. In fact, it was not the eating that bonded the participants, it's the camaraderie and the stories they shared during CFC. Some of the Food Crawlers were not from CBS but they showed support and love to the effort that the organization spent.

    3. Taste Cebu's Best with CFC



    Cebu Food Crawl Team did not choose commercialized Restaurants but the team especially selected Cebu's pride just like the best Hot Wings in town, Gibbs', the best Paella in Cebu, Ipar's and best Seafood Resto, Ocean Garden Restaurant to name a few. Now, who's excited for next year's Cebu Food Crawl?

    4. Learn to control your cravings

    We all know Gluttony is a sin but that weekend was not an excemption. Yes, we had exceeded the feeding but since we did know that we ate almost hourly, we just tasted a bit of the bests. We learned to control our love to those foods and cravings were satisfied well.

    5. Be inspired with Restaurant Owners and Entrepreneurs

    A photo posted by Cebu Bloggers Society (@cebubloggers) on

    Aside from Foods and friendships over meal, Cebu Food Crawlers were excited and amazed to the Entrepreneurs behind Cebu's Best Restos. For example, The Chocolate Ambassador, Ms. Raquel Choa who started as "Tablea Maker" in a young age and now, she's successful on Cebu's chocolate destinations, Ralfe Gourmet, The Chocolate Chamber (TCC) and Casa de Cacao. Indeed, She's the woman of inspiration and hope.

    These are just five of the many reasons why Cebu Bloggers should join Cebu Food Crawl. For details, please follow Cebu Food Crawl at:

    Authentic Spanish Cuisine at Ipars| LUNCH


    Together with more or less 20 Cebu-Based Bloggers, Cebu Food Crawl's First stop was at Ipar's Restaurant. As personally managed by owner, Chef Ipar Miranda, iPar's is true to its offerings of authentic Spanish Cuisine that caters Family and Friends in an intimate fine dining with a Spanish "feels".  And of course, part of participating in CFC is to give our friends and followers idea on the delish Dishes that this Resto gives. Here are some recommendations:

    A photo posted by Cebu Bloggers Society (@cebubloggers) on
    Of course, try Best Spanish Paellas in Cebu here....

    PAELLA DE VERDURAS | paella of delicately chosen vegetables, made especially for vegetarians and the lenten season

    PAELLA MARINERA | paella of freshly caught fish, squid, and shellfish of the day; a true fiesta for the seafood lover



    PAELLA DE LA CASA | mar meets tierra in this meat and seafood lover's paella… ALL IN!

    PAELLA NEGRA | paella of squid· cuttlefish, cooked in its own ink to give it that distinct color and taste

    As a Coffee-Lover, FaceCebu suggests you try Ipar's Bombon in just PHP 70. It has condense milk that makes it so sweet that you might need extra water just to cleanse your throat. But personally, you should take a sip.




    Meal is not a meal without dessert, and for us, Ipar's Flan Al Caramelo (PHP 70) is really good. The best Leche Flan!

    Mango Chill at Cebu City Marriott Hotel | SNACKS

    As Food Crawlers needed to chill a little bit, Cebu City Marriott Hotel hosted a Mangoes-inspired fiesta to Bloggers. Dishes with Mangoes ingredients were offered and we have a lot of recommendations for you.

    Puto With Coconut Milk and Mango is just right for Christmas! The sweetness of the Milk and sour-sweet of Mango complements to the well-cooked sticky rice that is very comfy for a Yuletide season.

    Among all Beverages, we love the Mango Smoothie - every sip is a sweet that satisfies every thirst.

    Seafoodelish at Ocean Garden Restaurant |DINNER

    First Dinner of the First Day of Food Crawling is a very important to us. And we were glad we had it at Ocean Garden Restaurant. Not just because we had seafoods, but we had the best Spanish Sardines ever in Cebu! Here are our bets:

    A photo posted by Cebu Bloggers Society (@cebubloggers) on

    We started with Pinoy Barbeque and it was good....



     And as promise, we finished our Spanish Sardines and you guys should try this... it's perfect!


    And for their signature beverage, a Guyabano shake from Ocean Garden is a healthy choice!

    A Christmas Vacation In Surigao Del Sur

    They said they need a Vacation to escape life but less they know vacation gives us life, introduces us to life and most importantly, refreshes us to be more ready for the next battle of life. So, as our yearly routine every December, my officemates and I go to Local destinations as we unleash some work stress - last weekend, we enjoyed a very wavy Christmas break at Surigao Del Sur.




    DAY 1 at Florland Resort in Bislig



    We landed in Tandag Airport just after lunch because we had a delayed flight and we did not complain since our purchased tickets were in promo. Those feelings of excitement and fear filled me as we were heading to our temporary home for a night. But those Natural scenes near the highway vanished those weird feelings combinations. We stayed at Florland Resort which is situated in Bislig City. It's not a super nice Resort but they offer cheap accommodations plus a free breakfast while feeling the fresh air in the morning breeze.

    For inquiries, you can contact the resort via Facebook, www.facebook.com/FlorlandResort


    Day 2 at "I Love Bislig" spot, Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River



    Woke up early as our call time was 6 in the morning. Our Van service came late at 7 but it was okay as we were in vacation and we need not to be stressed. On our way to our first destination, Tinuy-an Falls, we saw the famous huge letters "I Love Bislig" Spot in their park. We decided to jump out and took some photos. Of course, nobody won't believe that we visited Surigao Del Sur if we didn't get some click from our Cameras. After that, we then headed directly to Bislig's pride, Tinuy-an Falls which is located at Barangay Borboanan. For me, this attraction is the very must-visit spot in the province. This waterfalls is wide as it spans at 95 meters wide. Unlike other waterfalls, this wide "curtain-like" Tinuy-an Falls has big green trees in its surroundings which made her very appealing to the eyes. You will surely fall in love with Tinuy-an.






    Next stop was Hinatuan's Enchanted River. Why Enchanted? The river is very clear with its Blue-green color that flows to the Pacific Ocean. It was named as Enchanted River after diplomat Modesto Farolan described the said river as "Rio Encantado". In addition, locals said fairies and mermaids touch the river with their power those making its color echanted. Anyhow, during that visit, I was not impressed. The clear and color qualities of the river are still there, it's just during weekends, the place is overcrowded and for me, it distruct the beauty of the river.

    Hinatuan Enchanted River





    To end Day 2, we stayed at Mac Arthur's Place which can also offer Island Hopping to at least Four Britania Islets.

    Day 3 at Britania Islands



    For PHP 1,500 (15 persons), you can visit Britania islets via Pumpboat. Last weekend, we were lucky to play with Sands under the heat of the Sun in three Britania Islets namely Hagonoy Islet, Buslon Islet and Hiyor-Hiyoran Islet. The sands are not that fine but it's the collection of the islets from afar that will mesmerize you and will turn on your adrenaline for some water adventures. Among the three mentioned islets, I definitely love Hagonoy since it looks like an island that made up of white sands, you could not see any rocks above it and those minimal  number of Coconut Trees look like an intentional landscaped masterpiece.

    After that 2-3 hours Islets hopping, we set ourselves to our last home, Lizvil Beach Resort, Cagwait. The place is not that good as they only offer dormitory-type of lodging but the bright thing is, the place is beach front and I mean it's in the middle of wide white sands beach with amazing waves good for surfing.

Thus, as the head organizer of the talk, I was not able to join the Food Crawlers for the Lunch session but during late snacks and dinner, we enjoyed each others company for a sweet and spicy affair. Why? Check this out...

    Sweet Coffee Prince forLATE SNACKS

    Of course, we started the afternoon session at Coffee Prince, the home of the best chocolate waffles in the City. They also offer Tacos, Pasta and other sweets for your cravings. And for the beverages, we recommend their Java Chip Frappe, Strawberry Smoothie or if you're health-conscious, try their freshly brewed hot or cold coffee. Earlier this month, they opened another branch in Cebu which is situated in A.S Fortuna Banilad, Cebu City.

    Spicy Gibbs' Hot Wings | DINNER

    Finally, Cebu Food Crawl brought me to Cebu's Hot Wings Destination, Gibbs'!!! The owner, a good friend, Coy Oliva invited me many times but due to work schedules and events, I was not able to push through but thanks to Cebu Food Crawl, I finally tasted five levels of hotness of their Wings namely Hot, Original, Insanely Hot, 2Intense and Freakin Hot. Aside from Chicken Wings, Gibbs' offers spaghetti and meatballs, and Carbonara which could definitely filled up your tummy. In addition, Gibbs' give a comfy space to friends and barkada who plan to spend the night with spiciness of Chicken Wings and coldness of beers and their signature, Brew Kettle. At the end, you can cool down with their own Gibbs' Gelatos - try Mango flavor!

    "Baby stolen in Cebu hospital" by Sun.Star CebuA WOMAN dressed as a nurse took a baby boy supposedly for a vaccination but walked away with the infant, leaving the father wailing in the parking lot of the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC) compound Monday noon (January 4).Where did the female suspect, who wore white scrubs but no identification card, bring two-day-old Prince Niño Celadenia? How did she escape from the hospital’s security?These are among the questions investigators of the Cebu City Police Station 2 and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)-Central Visayas are checking as they investigate the case.It was reportedly the first time such a thing happened in the VSMMC, Cebu’s largest government hospital.What investigators have so far are three closed-circuit television (CCTV) clips showing the woman carrying the infant from the hospital’s laboratory area (at noon) to the billing section (12:02 p.m.), before she went through an exit gate intended only for hospital employees at 12:07 p.m.Details at Sunstar.com.phCredit: Utan Bisaya and Sun.Star Cebu
