  44. <p><a href="https://www.cassandrebeccai.com/">CassandreBeccai</a> | <em>Balanghai: A Celebration of Filipino Regional Flavors</em> | In the heart of Filipino culture lies a deep love for gathering, sharing stories, laughter, and, of course, a hearty meal. Across islands and regions, food has always been a way for Filipinos to celebrate their roots and connect with one another. It’s this spirit of community and discovery that Balanghai captures.</p>
  45.  
  46.  
  47.  
  48. <p>After a five-year pause, <strong>Balanghai </strong>is making its highly anticipated comeback at&nbsp; Clark Cityfront Mall, ready to bring diners on a flavorful voyage across the Philippines. First opened in 2018, the buffet restaurant closed its doors in March 2020 at the height of the pandemic. It returns with a refreshed spirit, showcasing the country’s rich regional flavors in a setting that feels like home.</p>
  49.  
  50.  
  51.  
  52. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Inspiration Behind Balanghai</h1>
  53.  
  54.  
  55.  
  56. <p>Balanghai pays homage to the seafaring vessel, the <em>balanghai</em>, a plank boat that carried early settlers across the Philippine archipelago. These boats, remarkable for their craftsmanship and speed, symbolize unity, exploration, and community. Historically, the balanghai was more than a mode of transport; it was the foundation of the Filipino community structure, which later evolved into the &#8220;barangay&#8221; system.</p>
  57.  
  58.  
  59.  
  60. <p>Today, Balanghai seeks to embody that same spirit: connecting Filipinos through the diverse and vibrant flavors of their regional heritage.</p>
  61.  
  62.  
  63.  
  64. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Kind of Filipino Buffet</h1>
  65.  
  66.  
  67.  
  68. <p>Unlike many buffets that focus only on mainstream Filipino dishes or select regional cuisines, Balanghai offers a curated culinary journey across the archipelago. Its buffet lineup is organized by week:</p>
  69.  
  70.  
  71.  
  72. <p>In the <strong>first </strong>week, Balanghai features dishes of Northern Luzon, including <em>Pancit Cabagan</em>, a noodle dish from Isabela, and <em>Serkele</em>, a flavorful carabao offal stew from Bulacan. Diners can also enjoy <em>Pancit Luglug </em>and <em>Kinulob </em>dishes, specialties of the Kapampangan region.</p>
  73.  
  74.  
  75.  
  76. <p>The <strong>second </strong>week highlights the flavors of Manila and Southern Luzon. Dishes like <em>Tilapia Supreme</em>, cooked in coconut milk, take center stage alongside spicy <em>Bicol Express</em>, <em>Sinaing na</em></p>
  77.  
  78.  
  79.  
  80. <p><em>Tulingan </em>from Batangas, <em>Hardinera </em>from Quezon, and <em>Kulawong Talong</em>, a char-grilled eggplant dish steeped in coconut milk from Laguna.</p>
  81.  
  82.  
  83.  
  84. <p>Come the <strong>third </strong>week, the spotlight moves to the Visayas, where Ilonggo classics like K<em>ansi </em>(a sour beef shank soup made with <em>batwan </em>fruit) and KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, Langka) are served. Diners can also savor <em>Batchoy</em>, <em>Pancit Molo</em>, and the rare <em>Tambalo</em>, a unique seafood found in select towns of Samar.</p>
  85.  
  86.  
  87.  
  88. <p>The <strong>fourth </strong>week celebrates the diverse flavors of Mindanao. The buffet features dishes influenced by neighboring Southeast Asian cultures, such as <em>Pastil</em>, <em>Beef Rendang</em>, <em>Beef Kulma Tausug</em>, and <em>Satay </em>from Zamboanga. There are also Southern Mindanao specialties like <em>Linagpang na Manok </em>and <em>Tinolang</em> Tuna from General Santos.</p>
  89.  
  90.  
  91.  
  92. <p>This rotation ensures diners always encounter something new and interesting, encouraging nostalgic rediscoveries and adventurous first tastes. On special days at the end of the month, Balanghai even offers &#8220;fiesta&#8221; buffets that bring together dishes from all regions, or fusion offerings like <em>Chino</em>y (Chinese-Pinoy) dishes.</p>

  98.  
  99. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Rooted in Tradition, Committed to Quality</h1>
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. <p>At any given time, Balanghai features about 40 dishes, including 10–15 regional specialties. What sets the restaurant apart is the careful research behind every plate. Rather than relying on cookbooks or online recipes, the team traveled across the country, learning from local cooks and market vendors.</p>
  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107. <p>&#8220;<em>We didn’t just pull recipes off the internet,</em>&#8221; shares Dr. Robert H. Lo, Chief Innovation Officer of New Business Development of RDF Feed, Livestock &amp; Foods, Inc.&nbsp; &#8220;<em>We went to the source: to the markets of Ilocos Norte for real Bagnet, to Catbalogan for Tambalos, to Zamboanga for authentic Southern Mindanao cooking.</em>&#8220;</p>
  108.  
  109.  
  110.  
  111. <p>Sourcing the right ingredients came with challenges. Some ingredients, like the <em>batwan</em>, essential for Ilonggo <em>Kansi</em>, spoil quickly when left at room temperature and need special handling. Others, like premium <em>tilapia </em>from Batangas and Bicol, require careful selection to maintain quality. Balanghai’s meats are supplied by RDF, ensuring consistent food safety standards and supporting the restaurant’s vision of serving authentic Filipino cuisine.</p>
  112.  
  113.  
  114.  
  115. <p>Despite the hurdles, the team succeeded in recreating flavors that resonate with authenticity. It&#8217;s this dedication to preserving regional tastes, even when some dishes were unfamiliar or surprising to diners, that makes Balanghai a true culinary voyage across the Philippines.</p>
  116.  
  117.  
  118.  
  119. <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe_fw2-I1JVIApADKTQPf6Dtfu_8D_33opvBtxurBTT6PP5Lc09FjCNXalymGc-0UUCgQrx0bPMpvHLga1M4nJdgI_wcAPcY-JqfUjwTcB8pIcrtbyuErYZLnyKHlk1b5GUxPHttw?key=LickFQsP4YvjfJGWm4-m7NgF" alt=""/></figure>
  120.  
  121.  
  122.  
  123. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Dining Experience Beyond the Buffet Table</h1>
  124.  
  125.  
  126.  
  127. <p>More than just a feast for the tastebuds, Balanghai offers an immersive Filipino cultural experience. The restaurant’s interiors reflect traditional Filipino aesthetics, with guest relations officers welcoming diners in traditional <em>baro&#8217;t saya</em>. A dedicated street food section also features</p>
  128.  
  129.  
  130.  
  131. <p>nostalgic bites like <em>Pigar Pigar </em>from Pangasinan and <em>Tupig</em>, further adding to the sense of homecoming for many diners.</p>
  132.  
  133.  
  134.  
  135. <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc_FnCzpmurgpLXZk5H1XyauPeOpddI-jOjYt_dy1zdNtg3yAU6prx_R5DG0cghxRBUFomyot20Und009IBZ73FIgLs-Ux0TA-zEgBsmk2PZj2U3d1FBwPH6uhlw4j_dvUScw9D8Q?key=LickFQsP4YvjfJGWm4-m7NgF" alt=""/></figure>
  136.  
  137.  
  138.  
  139. <p>Comfort was also a key priority. The buffet area was designed to avoid the crowded feel typical of other restaurants, providing a spacious and relaxing atmosphere for families and travelers alike.</p>
  140.  
  141.  
  142.  
  143. <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfjM33cW4kQ3ZvNMvupgrTOYoh58FaPILB5wsUn_oQndryM-KCuJ_we14Q_QfIpiPQ8s86ZInPJjyu0CmkqBvunMtaTDRmyxLtf1ZP1hmMvgDy-CyxowJYK9FZYn8wqikpDBAsQKg?key=LickFQsP4YvjfJGWm4-m7NgF" alt=""/></figure>
  144.  
  145.  
  146.  
  147. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">A New Chapter for Balanghai</h1>
  148.  
  149.  
  150.  
  151. <p>To celebrate its grand reopening, Balanghai is offering a special promotional rate of ₱649 per head until June 30, 2025. After the promotion, the regular buffet rate will be ₱888.</p>
  152.  
  153.  
  154.  
  155. <p>Looking ahead, the team behind Balanghai is already planning to expand. A larger branch is set to open in Capital Town Pampanga by late 2026, a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to bringing regional Filipino flavors to more diners. At its heart, Balanghai isn&#8217;t just a buffet — it&#8217;s a voyage. It’s a tribute to the country’s rich, diverse heritage and a reminder that there is always more to discover beyond the familiar. As Dr. Robert H. Lo reflects, “<em>We created Balanghai to show that the Philippines isn’t just about adobo and sinigang. Every region has its culinary treasures — and at Balanghai, you get to taste them all.</em>”</p>

  234. <p><a href="https://www.cassandrebeccai.com/">CassandreBeccai</a> | <em>DepEd conducts National Training of Trainers to support Computerization Program roll-out</em> | PASIG CITY, 25 March 2024 – The Department of Education (DepEd) is conducting the DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) Adoption National Training of Trainers (NTOT) to fully equip field officers with knowledge on DCP packages and how to utilize them to support its ongoing nationwide rollout.</p>
  235.  
  236.  
  237.  
  238. <p>The agency started the training on February 18 to tackle blended learning frameworks, teaching and learning with television, use of advanced Microsoft productivity tools, and learning accelerators, among others.</p>
  239.  
  240.  
  241.  
  242. <p>DCP packages consisting of laptops, charging carts, smart TVs, hard disk drives, and routers are now being distributed to beneficiary schools.&nbsp;</p>
  243.  
  244.  
  245.  
  246. <p>Spearheaded by the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS), the NTOT gathered approximately 700 DepEd Regional and Schools Division Offices personnel who will serve as trainers, facilitators, and/or program managers of the DCP Adoption Program. The training utilizes blended learning through massive open online courses that combine face-to-face and technology-mediated sessions.</p>
  247.  
  248.  
  249.  
  250. <p>The participants develop action plans for the rollout and implementation of learned concepts among DCP recipient schools to aid teaching, learning, and other services.</p>
  251.  
  252.  
  253.  
  254. <p>“Your presence is instrumental as you will assist us in capacitating our teachers with the necessary skills to maximize the utilization of our DCP packages. Let&#8217;s leave a legacy of empowered learners and transformed education,” Undersecretary for Administration Nolasco Mempin noted.</p>
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. <p>Meanwhile, ICTS Director Ferdinand Pitagan discussed the background and rationale of the initiative and highlighted that the DCP packages must be promoted and utilized effectively to address the needs of the MATATAG curriculum.</p>
  259.  
  260.  
  261.  
  262. <p>“You are asked to replicate what we have started so that our educators will be able to design, conduct, and assess blended learning to ensure the acquisition of heightened learning of our learners,” Director Pitagan said.</p>
  263.  
  264.  
  265.

  313. <p>Ms. Apple de Belen, Marketing Manager of Silka, emphasized the importance of holistic skincare, encouraging Filipinas to embrace confidence from within. “What LIMITS us are the things <em>na pilit nating tinatago</em>.

  660. <p><a href="https://www.cassandrebeccai.com/">CassandreBeccai</a> | <em>Globe pilots new antenna to address connectivity gaps</em> | Globe has achieved a groundbreaking milestone with the successful integration of a state-of-the-art hyper gain antenna that boosts signal amplification by up to 200% in areas with coverage gaps and expands the reach of a cellsite by 40%, helping address persistent tower site development challenges.</p>
  661.  
  662.  
  663.  
  664. <p><a></a>Created in collaboration with antenna specialists Comarcom Ltd. and Telkha Network Inc., the Spotlight Vega Antenna was recently deployed in Tagaytay City, Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro, and San Fernando, La Union, marking significant advancement in 2G and 4G connectivity across the region. This technology upgrade could potentially benefit nearly 250,000 residents in these localities.</p>
  665.  
  666.  
  667.  
  668. <p><a></a>“This innovative technology from our partners will help us fill coverage gaps in our network and, thus, help us give better service to subscribers,” said Gerhard Tan, Globe’s Head of Technology Strategy and Innovation.</p>
  669.  
  670.  
  671.  
  672. <p><a></a>Globe is focused on enhancing its current network by leveraging sustainable technologies, including the advanced capabilities of this innovative antenna, which promises to deliver a host of benefits.</p>
  673.  
  674.  
  675.  
  676. <p><a></a>The Spotlight Vega Antenna provides an average 40% better coverage range and a 30% improvement in signal quality over traditional panel antennas, as well as seamless integration, cost-efficiency, and maintenance-free operation. Users can expect download speeds up to four times faster and upload speeds twice as rapid, significantly reducing dropped calls and black spots in network coverage.</p>
  677.  
  678.  
  679.  
  680. <p><a></a>With the hyper gain antenna offering 200% signal amplification compared to conventional antennas, thanks to an unprecedented equal and above 21 dB gain, Globe subscribers are in for a game-changer. This is particularly true in remote areas where, historically, connectivity has been challenging due to site acquisition hurdles, zoning and regulatory issues, and business feasibility concerns.</p>
  681.  
  682.  
  683.  
  684. <p><a></a>“Globe creates opportunities to innovate and implement such creative solutions that are instrumental in addressing localized customer pain points. With that, not only do we attain customer satisfaction but also improve our services and likewise, integrate sustainability into how we operate as a company,” added Tan.</p>
  685.  
  686.  
  687.  
  688. <p><a></a>Poor connectivity in both rural and urban areas impedes development and inhibits critical areas of daily life, including work, school, healthcare provision, and emergency response, among others. This results in pronounced disparities, constraining individual and community growth.</p>
  689.  
  690.  
  691.  
  692. <p><a></a>The deployment of the signal-boosting antenna underscores Globe&#8217;s pledge to deliver uninterrupted connectivity across even the most demanding terrains, reinforcing its dedication to continuous innovation and solidifying its status as a leader in the telecom sector.</p>
