Environmentally Green and Beautiful Eco Friendly Bags: Pinakamagandang Bayong sa Balat ng Lupa

by

My sister in law is representing the provinces of Ilocos Sur and Negros Oriental by showcasing their skilled, handwoven craft of baskets and eco friendly bags. Stop using plastic when you go to market, make it a habit to use bayongs and refuse plastic. But who wants ugly regular bayongs? Buy the fashionable ones, the prettiest ones, the bayongs that go with your dress.

  • eco-friendly
  • fair trade
  • support indigenous weavers

Plus they are of limited stock, limited quantity, they are hand made, not mass produced, so not many of you will own the same looking hand crafted bayongs.

If you want to order large quantities, post a reply comment here with your name and number and my sister in law Liza will contact you.

Pinakamagandang Bayong sa Balat ng Lupa has a market stall at Mercato Bonifacio Global City every Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Bought some Kefir at Herb’s Best International at Mercato BGC

by

I was on a probiotic binge last Sunday and I just happened to stumble upon some kefir at at the Herbs Best International stall at Mercato in Bonifacio Global City.  I realize now that kefir is not really their main item but it was there and hopefully it had enough probiotics in them.

I just checked the Herb’s Best International website and it seems their big thing are those flavor condiment mixes they sell pre-packaged.  Instead of the usual chemical laden flavorings by those multi-national brands, Herb’s Best has managed to package the actual ingredients in their flavor mixes:

  • No MSG
  • No Preservatives
  • No Artificial Flavors

Now that’s awesome.  That is something to tell the Filipinos abroad that no longer will they have to settle and poison themselves with preservatives, msg and artificial flavor mixes, they can now get the real thing.

At home we of course get fresh ingredients, all the time, but our loved ones in some other countries need all the help they can get.  And Herb’s Best may have the answer.

Sinigang Mix

Eat Mi! Sinigang sa Sampalok Mix

Tamarind Soup Base Mix

Natural TAMARIND Sinigang Mix made more nutritious with Healthy Herbs!

Savor the goodness of home-cooked Sinigang that’s superior to the rest. Besides the deliciously authentic sour taste of natural sinigang, Eat Mi!

Mercato Bonifacio Global City: Finally a Weekend Organic Market

by

At last a weekend organic market called Marcato has opened in Bonifacio Global City. It is open mornings Saturdays and Sundays. I visited last Sunday morning, an awesome crowded place. And with higher purchasing budgets of the people in the area, expect a more varied amount of products to proliferate.

Parking is easy, plentiful and convenient. There are several tents, don’t just stick to the first entrance tent, go inside and visit the other tents. There’s lots of food, organic food and not organic food, some organic products and not organic products. There are quite a few environmental nifty inventions like the lifetime baby diapers, the most beautiful bayongs on earth, and possibly many more I’ve missed.

If you live in the Bonifacio Global City area, you can stop crowding the Makati weekend markets and stay in Bonifacio Global City, no need to go the the Quezon City Lung Center either.

Some pictures I took in the Mercato Weekend Market:

Uncle A Brain Tumor Pressure Increasing, Time for Zapping

by

Uncle A had good colon cleanses, kidney cleanses and liver flushes. His diet is not that ideal though since I’m not there. He says he has raw juices as recommended by his neighbor. I’ve heard about it but I haven’t seen it nor tasted it. He says he has sashimi, but I haven’t seen it nor tasted it. Lately I asked what cooked food he has been cheating on and he says he eats cooked vegetables. Grrr…. cooked vegetables are what cause lymph nodes to swell, he said he just skimmed Aajonus Vonderplanitz book. But I’m betting there is more that’s wrong in this picture, I’m suspecting parasites.

Good thing we have a new Don Croft zapper here in Manila. I will have to send the zapper to him via LBC. It can arrive tomorrow. He has to zap almost 24 hours a day. Around the neck area, and where the blood flows in his limbs. Hopefully fund a way to zap out whatever parasite or worm is in his brain. Yeah, those common brain worms like what you probably have seen on Youtube.

Treating sick people remotely is a pain. You don’t really know what they are doing. Telephone conversations are not enough. I had been asking for Skype video, I don’t see why it’s taking them so long.

So let’s hope zapping for days at a time will be effective. If this doesn’t work, there’s lots more possibilities. But we don’t know if there is enough time.

What really needs to be done is hands on healer living with him.

Raw Organic Chicken from Pamora Farm is Delicious

by

Last Sunday I was in Mercato in Bonifacio Global City and in front of our booth was an French organic chicken farm named Pamora Farm.   There I met the French owner Mr. Gerard Papillon.  He gave me a brochure and told me about their chicken, why they are superior.

I had wanted to buy the biggest chicken he had but it cost 950 per kilo for a total of 3,000 pesos for this special capon chicken.  This is a male chicken that had its testicles removed so it grows marbly fat.  Too expensive.  I settled for a more normal 91 day organic chicken.

I had been imagining chicken the past days.  So stumbling onto the organic chicken was good timing.  This dinner I finally had the chance to feast on the raw organic chicken from Pamora.  Delicious.  Good smell, not slimy, all chicken juicy soft goodness.  Best raw chicken I have ever had.  This chicken has changed my view of raw chicken.  No longer will I say raw chicken sucks, it depends on the raw chicken and this raw chicken rocks!

I say awesome, I say great!  I will gladly buy more organic chicken from Pamora Farm.  And no, I told the maids, you are not cooking my organic chicken.  Don’t touch.  If the kids want this chicken, they’ll have to eat it raw as well.

Congratulations Gerard, your chicken has passed this raw paleo dieter’s taste buds!
