Relax at H-Café – Harold’s Hotel

Saturday, June 9, 2012 0 comments


Upon entering on a restaurant, café, or any food establishment customers look unto the place of the food establishment from the destination, ambiance, the price, the staff and many more.

Most of us know that Cebu City is one of the places that we could find a lot of food establishments. We could find them near at school, near the offices, or even on the “kanto” because everybody will eat. Most of the business oriented people recommended it as a starting business since as what they’ve said everybody will eat and it depends on how the business owner makes his/her gimik.

One of the factors that customers look upon to a food establishment is the price of the food. Customers look on the food that they eat and compare it by price if they pay wisely.

Good thing that H-Café has it all that customers that are looking for from the destination, ambiance, price, staff and many more. During the launching of the their new recipes of H-Café cooked by Chef Dionisio Delos Reyes such as Crispy Pata, Beefsteak Cebuano, and Tablea Choco Moist Cake the new recipes are all good and worth it.

I like when I eat the Crispy Pata because the juicyness of the meat and the crispy skin of the Pata. When I sliced the Crispy Pata you could smell, crispy of the Crispy Pata. You could easily slice the Crispy Pata well without forced since the meat is cooked well. Try their Crispy Pata and you could say “Hhmm,, Yummy! Delisyoso”. :D Spanish yun ah!

Tablea Choco Moist Cake is one the unique cake that I ever eat from the ingredients it “Tablea”. Tablea is a product of “Kakaw” which also be the ingredients to make a “Cocoa”. You could also smell the “tablea” especially when you eat since you could also feel that you’re eating the tablea. Tablea is the ingredients of the Tablea Choco Moist Cake and they also use the tablea to cover the pan of the cake and the design. Yummy Tablea Choco Moist Cake!


The ambiance of H-Café is good. When I enter the restaurant, only one word comes to my mouth “Wow”.  Their General Manager Hembler Mendoza is socializing to their customers and friendly.

I would like you to invite to visit and eat their recipes, food and many more because all services are unforgettable and worth it,

H-Cafes are open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Enjoy the H-Café buffet which is Breakfast Buffet at PHP250 net, Weekend Buffet at PHP 450 net and Lunch & Dinner Set Menu at PHP 199 net.

As I remember with the Rampada Jingle “Everybody bets have some fun”. It was my first time to attend with the Rampada 2012 and I would really agree with the quoted line of the Rampada Jingle. I think everybody was having fun with Rampada 2012.

Here are my observations with the Rampada 2012:

The hairdress of the dancers are very colorful and I could see the effort in making the hairdress. No drums and buggles because only Rampada Jingle was played and I loved that. As part of their props, they only have confetti, chanting, blinking lights. They have a very colorful costume that makes your eyes wanted to see. The Rampada dancers are always smiling, dancing gracefully that people wanted to see. Every contigent have their own Lapu-Lapu and Reyna Bulakna and it’s upon to the contigent if they firstly act before they dance with the Rampada Jingle. And I was surprise that the Barangay SK’s chairman is the one who organized to the costumes, fees to their contigent. It shows that Barangay SK’s in Lapu-Lapu matured enough and eager to make the city event more successful. And as estimated, it has over 400, 000 people enjoying the event and hopes next year it will double.

Kadaugan sa Mactan 2012, Kadaugan sa Mactan Re-enactment 2012, Rampada 2012 must consider as one of the Cebu Pride because it can attract to tourist locally and foreign.

I would like invite everybody that if you visit Cebu City especially to Lapu-Lapu City every April 27 – 28 of the year. Try to visit and enjoy Kadaugan sa Mactan 2012, Kadaugan sa Mactan Re-enactment, Rampada 2012, Food Festival and a lot more.

I would love to attend and enjoy again next year and invite my friends to enjoy this yearly event. I will bookmark to my calendar and schedule for the next year Rampada 2012 at Lapu-Lapu City. 




The successful Kadaugan sa Mactan Re-enactment 2012

Thursday, May 3, 2012 0 comments


Last April 27, 2012 at Mactan Liberty Shrine, Kadaugan sa Mactan 2012 held. The main characters of the Kadaugan sa Mactan Re-enactment are Datu Lapu-Lapu, Reyna Bulakna and Magellan.

The main characters are played by Philippine Actors and Actress namely Geneva Cruz played as Reyna Bulakna, Richard Quan as Datu Lapu-Lapu and Patrick Garcia as Magellan.

It shows that Datu Lapu-Lapu (Richard Quan) strongly fight against Spaniards by fighting them even Reyna Bulakna (Geneva Cruz) are afraid that their group will lost the fight because they even don’t know what are the styles of the Spaniards in fighting. But before they fight to Spaniards they offered to their “anito” Abbah for the guidance of the coming battle.

But Datu Lapu-Lapu is strongly believed that they must fight against the Spaniards because the land was owned by them and not by Spaniards. Most of the Magellan’s Group was killed by the troop of Datu Lapu-Lapu.

The tribe of Datu Lapu-Lapu was having a feast after Datu Lapu-Lapu killed Magellan during their battle by dancing and offer to the “anitos”.

This event will be held yearly every 27th day of April. This Kadaugan sa Mactan Re-enactment is one of the highlighted event of Kadaugan sa Mactan. Expect that every year, they bring a Philippine Actors and actress that will play the character of Datu Lapu-Lapu, Reyna Bulakna and Magellan.

This event must be seen by all Filipinos especially to all foreign tourists to show the history of Mactan now Lapu-Lapu City.

During the presscon with Lapu-Lapu City Paz Radaza and Philippine Department of Tourism Secretary Calumba, they event is the pride of Lapu-Lapu City and Philippine Department of Tourism Secretary suggest that the Mactan International Airport to Lapu-Lapu International Airport in honored to the heroic action of Datu Lapu-Lapu.

According to Paz Radaza, the Kadaugan sa Mactan Re-enactment budget is down from PHP1.6M last year to PHP1.2M this year because the talent fee of the characters especially to the  main characters such as Datu Lapu-Lapu (Richard Quan), Reyna Bulakna (Geneva Cruz), Magellan (Patrick Garcia).

During also the press conference at MovenPick Hotel with Patrick Garcia, Richard Quan. They accept this role as Magellan and Richard Quan not for the fees because they want to be part of this event “Kadaugan sa Mactan 2012”. They want to know more about the history of Mactan and also the heroic action of Datu Lapu-Lapu.

Again, don’t forget to watch yearly the “Kadaugan sa Mactan2012 Re-enactment” at Mactan Liberty Shrine every 27th day of April.

As I witness the Kadaugan sa Mactan Re-enactment, I was really enjoying the fun of the re-enactment. I feel the essence of the play and could proudly say that I’m Pinoy! Proudly Pinoy!

Stable income for artists still a challenge

Thursday, February 16, 2012 0 comments

Growing up in a family of painters, Dorby Alcoseba saw firsthand the struggling life of an artist.

Though his heart is on art, Alcoseba pursued a college degree in computer engineering hoping to have a more stable life. After two years of working in an office job, his love for the art haunted him back.

“The life of an artist is a struggling one. But it’s what I really want. What’s important is to go where your heart is,” Alcoseba, a fulltime painter, said in Cebuano.

The artist is one of the guests in the February 11 episode of Pagtuki, the official radio program of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI), which is aired at DYLA, every Saturday from 10-11 a.m.

The February 11 episode talks about the "life of an artist", as a celebration for the National Arts month in February.

Having a father and an uncle who are painters, Alcoseba is no stranger to canvass and watercolors. He knew then that painting was his calling, just like his father.

For July Carmel, a degree holder in mass communication, she chose to work as a fulltime dancer in a dance group rather than pursue a career in communication.

Though the pay is not as high as a regular job, she said that what is important is she is happy with what she is doing. Carmel was a scholar for being a member of the university's dance and theater group.

“Performing, dancing...these are my passions,” she said.

Dennis “Sio” Montera, vice president for visual arts of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, said that a stable income is one of the greatest challenges of an artist.

"Being an artist is a lifetime commitment. It has no boundaries, no limits, and no bosses. But it is not a regular job. Financially, it’s a challenge. Artists need to learn how to be flexible because we all have bills to pay. Despite that challenge, you might wonder why artists are happy... because we are happy with our time and in what we do,” Montera said in Cebuano.

He advised starting artists across different fields to not give up and to pursue their passion for the arts, despite the struggles.

Montera expressed his hopes that the government will initiate programs to further develop and preserve Philippine arts.

“Art should be given importance because this reflects us as a race,” he pointed out.
