Expectations for the New President on the Improvement of the PNR

As a railway enthusiast, I am going to say that I was very happy with the way that the outgoing administration greatly improved our national railways. From the removing of IS to the changing its century old wooden ties into concrete ones, remodeling of the stations and of course the new rolling stock. Before this administration, we all know that PNR is the complete opposite of what it is today.

Now the challenge for the new government is at least to maintain it or better, to improve it. Given that the mother of the current president-apparent caused the downfall of the PNR (Closing Northrail, Mandaluyong Line, Carmona Line and Line to Bay), I hope that he could change that and be the president that will cause the rebirth of our railway system which was once, considered as the greatest in Sout East Asia.

Palawan Food Trip

Last April we went to one of the most exciting place in the Philippines, Palawan. We went there not only to explore nature but also to indulge ourselves into its exotic cuisine. We started our food trip at the Balinsasayaw Restaurant. It was really a very savory meal. We ordered a huge plater that is more than enough for our family to eat. In the platter we had delicately grilled squid and grilled Liempo (pork), Exceptionally fresh Crabs sauteed in garlic butter and grilled tuna. We also had a very refreshing mango salad. And of course, we had the restaurant's specialty, Balinsasayaw Soup - which is also known as Bird's Nest Soup, which is arguably the cheapest in the Philippines, for only 350 pesos, (compared to 2500 pesos in Manila) given that Palawan is a producer of its main ingredient: the birds nest. After that sumptous meal, we then proceeded to our city tour.
