Lachi’s Sans Rival Atbp
Feb 5th
If you are from Davao, you have probably dined at or, at the very least, heard of Lachi’s Sans Rival Atbp. We went there a few days ago for lunch. I had their bestseller, the Unforgettable Pork Ribs. I’m not really a fan of pork but this one I really enjoyed.

GenSan Weekend Highlights
Jan 30th
The opening of Isla Jardin del Mar wasn’t the only highlight of my trip down south last weekend.
Shortly after attending the opening of Sarangani’s newest white sand beach resort, we went to Piyesta KTV and Resto Bar at Robinsons Place GenSan for dinner. There, we enjoyed good music while feasting on Piyesta’s amazing menu selection which included the must-try kurastick, freshly-prepared sashimi, spicy-hot gambas, and the mouthwatering native tinolang manok.

Cignal HD Subscriber Review
Dec 25th
Cignal HD Receiver
Last month, I wrote about Cignal Digital TV’s launch in Davao. Thanks to a Cignal HD voucher (free satellite dish, HD receiver, and free MSF for 3 months) which I got from Andrew, I am now subscribed to Cignal’s HD combo package at Php1,290/month. That’s 21 standard definition (SD) digital channels plus 8 high definition (HD) channels.
