Food Trip: 10 Dove Street

Last week my friend and I wanted to eat something but we don't want to spend that much.  So we tried 10 Dove Street. 10 Dove Street is located in Sto. Nino Village, Banilad Cebu City Philippines.  The place is inside the village, just ask the guard the exact location once you reach the guard house.

The menu...

These are some of the food that we order.

Harvest Apple Salad

Macaroni and Frankfurter Skillet

The place is small but lovely with around 6 tables I think.  The food tastes good and the price is okay.

If you want to visit the place I think it's good to have a reservation ahead.  These are their contact numbers, 346-0618, 0922-332-3793, 0916-718-5082.

Annabelle Rama for congresswoman in Cebu?

Well, nothing's new basta nasa showbiz gusto talaga pumasok sa pulitika.
I just find it weird na tatakbo siya. I mean aside from her career sa showbiz  and medyo sikat sa pagiging palaaway what else kaya ang qualifications nya. Kaloka talaga?!

Inihayag ng talent manager na si Annabelle Rama ang intensiyon niyang tumakbong kongresista sa unang distrito ng Cebu City.

Nitong Biyernes, naka-post sa Twitter account ni Annabelle ang pagpunta nito sa City hall ng Cebu City para sa magparehistro bilang botante sa lalawigan.

May mga larawan din naka-post sa account ni Annabelle kung saan kasama niya ang mga kamag-anak niyang pulitiko sa lalawigan.

Ang mga Rama ay kilalang angkan ng mga pulitiko sa Cebu.

Katunayan, ang kanilang patriarch na si Don Vicente Rama (naging senador, kongresista at alkalde) ang kinikilalang "Father of Cityhood" ng Cebu City.

Sa isang ulat na lumabas sa pahayagang Cebu Daily News, sinabing si Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, pinsan ni Annabelle, ang naghikayat sa ina ni Kapuso leading man Richard Gutierrez na pumalot sa pulitika.

Ayon kay Mayor Rama, walang masama kung pasukin ni Annabelle ang pulitika dahil marami na rin namang tumakbo sa halalan na nanggaling sa mundo ng showbiz at entertainment.

Sa isang tweet ni Annabelle, nilinaw niya na posisyon sa pagka-kongresista at hindi konsehal ang kanyang planong takbuhan sa darating na May 2013 elections.

“Mali ka. I'm running for congress woman of Cebu @KhymaLey: @annabellerama2 Wow! you're running indeed to be a councilor! Good Luck!," nakasaad sa tweet ni Annabelle.

Kapag natuloy, posibleng makaharap ni Annabelle sa halalan ang isa ring kilalang angkan ng mga pulitiko sa Cebu – ang mga Del Mar. Sa kasalukuyan, nakaupong kongresista sa unang distrito ng Cebu si Rep. Rachel “Cutie" del Mar.

Bridge Repair in Lapu lapu: Traffic na sad ni og samot?

I read a news from Cebu Daily that Marcelo Fernan Bridge will close for repair.

This is the content of the news:

CONTRARY to reports, the Department of Public Works and Highways said they are coordinating with the Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu city governments in the repair of the the Marcelo Fernan Bridge that starts next week, Engr. Santiago Suico, OIC district engineer of the Cebu 6th district engineering office of the DPWH, said they already discussed the traffic management with the cities to minimize the impact of the repair works to the riding public.
He said his office wrote the respective traffic management offices of the two cities a month ago and held meetings with them.
Suico said repair works will start on one side of the bridge, where it will be closed to traffic, while the other side will be utilized for a two-way traffic.
Suico said the repair works will focus on the expansion joints of the bridge to avoid accidents.
He said based on statistics, most motorcycle accidents in the bridge were caused by the damaged expansion joints.
The national government appropriated P25 million for the project.
Suico said PLD Construction won the bidding and the firm will have to work 24/7 to complete the project.
Suico said the project will last for 150 calendar days or around five months if there will be no delays.
The 1.2-kilometer bridge was built by the Kajima Sumimoto Joint Venture that amounted to P2.3 billion.
It was funded through the loan obtained by the national government from the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan. /Correspondent Jhunnex Napallacan.
