A Confluence of Good Fortune:

Crisis becomes opportunity for MOFCCCII with timely intervention at Home for Street Children Story and photos by Mike Baños, Editor-at-Large

Surely this was the handiwork of the Almighty.

There’s this old adage about one man’s problem becoming another man’s fortune and never was this truism better demonstrated when a crumbling child development center for street kids that was received a timely gift from heaven that bailed them out of a crisis.

Last Saturday, 19 September 2015, the Mother Theresa Foundation Inc. (MFTI) Child Development Center & Home for Street Children officially received from the Misamis Oriental FilipinoChinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (MOFCCCII) the

refurbished dining hall, kitchen and comfort rooms on the occasion of MFTI’s 20th anniversary.

“The greatest gift you have given us is the refurbished dining hall, kitchen and comfortable comfort rooms, which were the top 3 of our top 10 priorities,” a grateful Mrs. Norma D. Noble, MFTI president, said during the ceremonial turnover and blessing held last weekend.

“You came in during our time of greatest need and crisis which you turned to a great opportunity for MOFCCCII .Our children are very happy there is someone concerned for them.

These children cannot return to you the blessings you have given

to them, except God who will give you back a thousand, or a millionfold even,” she added.

“When we first came here, the kitchen was dilapidated that when they were cooking pancit during the rainy season, it would often end up as lomi because of the holes in the roof,” said MOFCCCII auditor Jessie Co, who acted as Master of Ceremonies during the turnover.

Rusty Quintana, one of the first batch of street kids sheltered in the center, shared how during his time with the center, kids would simply jump over the wall to do their business in the bushes instead of using the run-down comfort rooms.

“We thought of grouping these young entrepreneurs together so they could apportion the costs of a shared space among themselves through an organizer like Angela,” Candice A. Saligumba, Operations Associate Manager who was the liaison between the group and Centrio Mall. “Our marketing group liked what they

saw with her handling of the Higalaay Fiesta Bazaar at the 3rd Floor Bridgeway and thought she was the right person who could make it work.”

Angela got together a core group of start-up entrepreneurs, many of whom just had their first venture with the fiesta bazaar, and moved into the empty space.

“When we started the place was not yet divided into individual stalls so we just made do with what we had and it was quite jumbled at the start,” Angela admits.

“This, while they were simultaneously running their fiesta bazaar at the Centrio Bridgeway.”

But it was not all roses for the new venture even if Centrio Mall had record numbers of shoppers during the latest Higalaay Festival.

“When we started, our sales were a little slow since for most of us, it was the first time we were thrust into a store, much less a mall,” Angela recalls. “We had very little knowledge of merchandising and the space was in the third floor so tuyounon jud.”

However, the Centrio operations and marketing teams were closely monitoring how the new venture was doing and pitched in to help. First, the mall organized the space into 15 booths at its own cost and got designer Bambi Pacquiao to spruce up the interior

The grand launch was well covered by mainstream and social media

a bit with signage and interior decors.

“We have as many as three to four merchants of similar or complementary lines of merchandise sharing one booth,” Angela noted. “I take care of operations and administration of the whole space but Centrio only deals with me. All our internal issues and concerns we handle internally among ourselves.”

Among the product lines carried by CUBE merchants are cosmetics, including US brands like Mac, Sephora, Urban Decay, Physicians Formula, Rimmel, Loreal, Maybelline, Revlon, Almay, Neutrogena; fashion accessories like branded wallets and scents; electronic

gadgets and accessories like power banks and mobile phone fashion; children’s toys; food items like locally made yema, pastillas, chili spice, taro chips and of course very affordable RTW for all ages.

Next, the CUBE merchants got Tipoy Piquero of Renzeez Events to organize a grand launch with Makiyaki Caterer Lanyah Asombrado to set up a buffet for guests and media.

“We thought a fashion event was the best way to ramp up awareness about the CUBE among shoppers,” Angela said.

“We got community models who worked for us gratis and Centrio management again came to our rescue by providing us with a venue at its busiest

entrance along C.M. Recto Avenue to ensure maximum exposure for the event.”

Coincidentally, the Friday, 25 September grand launch was an official holiday so there was quite a crowd of shoppers who stopped by to watch the brief show which everyone declared a complete success. It was immediately followed by a ribbon-cutting and blessing of the CUBE Bazaar Strip and dinner for guests and merchants afterwards.

With God’s grace, CUBE Bazaar Strip will open the doors to the entry of more young entrepreneurs to get into business and take up Ayala’s offer to develop regional brands straight from the grassroots.

Mabuhay!

CBCP declares XU ‘Catholic Cultural Center’

By Mary Antoinette M. Magallanes

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Episcopal Commission on Culture (CBCPECC) has declared Xavier University as an official Catholic Cultural Center (CCC).

The formal conferral rite was held at the Eucharistic Celebration presided by Rev. Elenito Galido DD, CBCPECC chairman, at the Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan University Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 7 as part of the Mission and Ministry Week celebration of XU. Being a Catholic Cultural Center, XU is tasked to carry out a decisive role in nurturing

the relationship between faith and culture through opportunities promoting understanding and inclusiveness.

It also means proclaiming the joy of the gospel, promoting peacein Mindanao and enriching the values formed through the Catholic culture andusing these as guides in various academic disciplines.

“This is very good in the sense that this reminds us of our role as a university — to promote the joy of the gospel and to really strengthen our Catholic identity,” shared Irene A. Guitarte, XU vice-president for mission and ministry.

Like other CCCs in the Philippines such as educational

institutions, seminaries and Diocesan centers, XU aims to serve as a forum for discussions where faith and culture converge.

But more than this, Guitarte believes that being a Catholic

G

erman TV journalist Philipp Bilsky is very known.

Mostly, he hit the nail on its head. I really like him and his comments.

On stage now: US President Obama is set to host his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the White House.

While the meeting is unlikely to produce major breakthroughs, Xi will get what’s most important to him. So, what can the world expect? Powerful images? Or just a little substance?

I agree with Bilsky saying, that US and Chinese officials planning President Xi’s state visit to the US have been involved in a tug-of-war in recent days. The two sides have had to work painstakingly to reach a mutually acceptable arrangement in terms of the agenda for the trip and the concrete results the two leaders could declare to have achieved following their summit.

There are more

than enough issues to discuss between the two global powers: the territorial disputes in the South China Sea (!), cyber security, climate change (!!), the recent turbulence in Chinese stock markets, the depreciation of the Chinese currency, US monetary policy, the worsening human rights situation in China under Xi, and the challenge of dealing with belligerent North Korea. The list is almost endless.

Again: what can the world expect?

Small steps. Maybe.

Hopefully. Small steps are better then none! High on the US agenda is the issue of cyber security, and one can expect the two countries to sign a deal on cyber attacks which will likely be touted as “historic.”

However, the agreement will likely be in no way related to the most recent cyber attacks China has been accused of launching.

We’ll probably also see

some minor progress being made on issues such as climate change and investment.

But no breakthroughs are expected on controversial issues such as Beijing’s land reclamation activities in the South China Sea. The fact of the matter is the two countries have fundamentally different interests on many fronts; so reaching a compromise, or even finding common ground, would prove to be very difficult. Also the Philippines need to see light at the end of this tunnel ... .

Yes, powerful images guaranteed, but regardless of what the final document will look like, one thing is clear: the meeting will result in some powerful images. The Chinese president will be presented with the highest honors offered by the United States to a foreign head of state: an official reception with a 21-gun salute and a state dinner.

H ave M y Say

Klaus Doring

After meeting with President Obama, Xi will give a speech at the United Nations.

All this will enable Chinese state media to showcase the Chinese leader as a statesman getting the recognition they believe he deserves from the international community, and in particular, the United States. In this context, dealing with major policy issues will play an almost secondary role. +++ Email: doringklaus@ gmail.com or follow me in Facebook or Twitter or visit www.germanexpatinthephilippines. blogspot.com or www. klausdoringsclassicalmusic.blogspot.com .

Fusion Resto Café opens at the New Consortium

So what’s so excitable about another new resto café?

For starters, Fusion Resto Café is situated at the 2nd floor of the new Consortium Building, that new edifice just before the Gaisano Mall parking lot entrance which may be the newest entry to the “Where It’s At” ticket of places to be in Cagayan de Oro, following in the footsteps of Lifestyle District and Grand Central.

For its opening last Sept. 18, the five partners ramped up the excitement with free “Love Locks” for the first 8 customers and a pitcher of free Margarita

with every order in the evening!

Students from nearby schools can enjoy their student meals priced affordably starting P60-160.

Other favoritesto-be include rice toppings, lechon belly, all day breakfasts, sandwiches, pasta, quesadillas, chicken wings, veggie specialties like harvest salad and their delish fish salad and boneless lechon which is available whole, in halves and quarters.

But the specialty of the house are its yummy desserts served in sizzling hot plates like brownies and banana split.

The interior

and furniture is a fusion of classic and modern trends with the “palo china” furniture and wall accents bringing the diverse elements together in a common thread.

Fusion Resto Café is a partnership between longtime friends Mynfa Neri Puao, Antoi Neri, Yasmin Ramuros, Ivy Salcedo and Una Bocao.

Fusion Resto Café opens 10am-10pm Mondays to Wednesdays and 10am to 1am Thursdays to Saturdays.

Business as Usual in Butcher’s Best Barbecue Cagayan de Oro’s iconic place for ihaw-ihaw and sugba-sugba remains open despite irresponsible social media posts it has burned down.

“It’s true our chimney caught fire 2 weeks ago but we managed to put the fire out and damage to our restaurant was minimal and we have re-opened after some minor repairs and touching up,” said “Chairman” Kim Clark Yap of Butcher’s Best Barbecue.

In a sign posted at the door, the management clarifies it is now

undertaking renovation to make it a much better place and indeed, the place which opened years ago is showing some signs of aging.

However, Kim Clark said that they are renovating and rebranding Butchers Best Barbeque, and would keep prices affordable for their patrons which have made Butcher’s Best Barbeque their favorite sugba-sugba hangout in Cagayan de Oro. Renowned far and wide for its very affordable but delicious Original Pork and Chicken BBQ, Original Sisig (chopped and grilled/ broiled pig’s cheeks), Sinug WOW (grilled pork belly served with soy sauce and onions) and of course,

its famous Grilled Angus Beef Belly which is even respected by the AB crowd for its real value for money.

In a review dated March 21, 2015 posted at TripAdvisor, a visitor from Norfolk, Virginia raved about the place having “the best sisig I ever tasted in the entire Philippines, still nothing can compare.

They also offer a lot of local Filipino foods, an array of barbecue flavors to choose from. Simply the best.”

Butcher’s Best Barbeque (Xavier) is located at Corrales-Hayes St., between Pabayo St. and Corrales Avenue, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. For inquiries and reservations, please call (088)8577333 or (08822)725678
