Enhanced healing through Ozone Therapy at HICC

Integrative medicine is the wave of the future says Dr. ImeldaEdodollon, RMT, MD, NMD, adding that she has high expectations that more and more Filipinos will come to see its therapeutic benefits. At the Business Forum ni Karancho held at Stone House Bed & Breakfast in Quezon City last week, she explained that a fusion of scientifically-backed “Western” medicine and time-tested “Traditional” medicine greatly enhances healing. Edodollon, who is medical director of Holistic Integrative Care Center (HICC), has been aggressively promoting Ozone Therapy, which she explains can be a less-invasive procedure to correct ailments which normally require surgery. She said the therapeutic properties of the highly-oxygenated molecule of ozone can work wonders to the human body.     –- Mister

Sugar Tax: Local Industries Bitter

At the Business Forum ni Karancho held at the Stone House  Bed & Breakfast in Quezon City last May 24, Federation of Philippine Industries (FPI) chairman Jess Arranza explained that the House-concocted tax mega hike on sugar and even artificial sweeteners, will not only prove bitter for consumers  but on local industries as well. He explained that this is likely to cause a sharp drop in demand for sugar—which in turn will hurt the local sugar industry. Arranza added that government’s tax collection targets can be achieved without forcing the public to reach even deeper into their pockets, by simply plugging tax loopholes and curbing corruption in revenue-collecting agencies.    --- Mister

Still going loco over UCPB’s Cocobank Sandwich

This is a reprint of an earlier entry which I contributed to my husband’s former blog back in August 2012. 

He introduced me to the famous Cocobank Sandwich during a luncheon meeting with our Ninong, UCPB director and then Minola President Jesus Arranza. We recently visited Ninong again which gave me the opportunity to once more enjoy this novelty dish.

Also, I was happy to again run into Mr. Oscar Fulgencio, the Operations Head of UCPB’s Executive Lounge. He told me that during the intervening years and with all that inflation, the UCPB sandwich has only increased by Php5.00!     --- Misis

Bean Belt Coffee to Launch Expanded Menu

Bean Belt Coffee is a nice and cozy little coffee shop located at the heart of Manila’s university belt that you definitely ought to visit if you are ever near the corner of Dapitan and Don Quijote Streets. And even if you are nowhere near, making an effort to try the place out may prove worthwhile. Saying this up front may seem like front-loading this review, but I don’t want to waste a thousand words for something I can say in far fewer!
