This group is one of the most established and popular food-selling groups on Facebook, with members that include home-trepreneurs and our favorite local businesses. It’s also a private group that’s well-monitored by a group of administrators, so sellers a
The products up for sale on this group run the gamut from fresh food and groceries to gadgets and cars ( yes, vehicles!). It’s a treasure trove of absolutely everything you need and don’t need. Just browse through the page and if you find anything that ca
Like Cebu Buy and Sell, this group also doesn’t have any restrictions as to what to post (granting they must be decent and appropriate). Aside from the usual suspects in groups like produce and gadgets, you’ll be surprised to find more offbeat items like
I have always been fascinated with plants, indoor plants to be specific, long before the ECQ. Indoor plants purify the air, ease tension, lower stress and create a relaxed and happy ambience. Ultimately, indoor plants increase productivity and enhance ove

My favorite local business is YoKakusa. I discovered it on Facebook. Its chicken and pad thai combo is a must-try!

I saw a lot of posts online selling sushi bake, but mostly based in Manila. Good thing I discovered one from Cebu, @lanisushibake on Instagram, and didn't hesitate to try it. The taste is just so good that you will want more after you finish your first or
My favorite is We Market. It’s a Facebook page where small business owners are gathered to sell their products, mostly food. I love how easy it is to jump from one food shop to another. Everything posted there is what I’ve been craving this quarantine, so

House chicharron filled the gaps between exchanges of pleasantries as we arrived. Made from local pork jowl, the crackling had a delightfully light crunch akin to a rice crisp with the fatty flavor cut by the tangy-sweet homemade mango vinegar. We opened
One of my Spanish resto favorites, pulpo, rounds out the trio that went down exceptionally well with a D'Arenberg Stump Jump Riesling. Here octopus tentacle was boiled for an hour to a succulent tender before braising. The chef nixed the menu card details
Meaty dimension to the smoky broken pasta Postres never disappoint here, and the first of two was their signature choco mango Cebu, a dark and decadent chocolate cremeux on crunchy chocolate soil with sunny-sweet mango sorbet. A creamy milk flan came next
I'm no special snowflake. An estimated 21 million others share my birthday, and more than 1/3 of the world population or more than three billion people from 70 countries have been on lockdown due to Covid-19. If we put together birthdays from mid March to
The faster, the better. But I have all the time in the world now. I'm not doing things just for speed or convenience. I'm doing it with purpose. It's a self-love ritual. The end product, the masala chai, is my daily afternoon delight. A couple of my frien
