First Glance of Mutya ng Pilipinas 2014 Candidates

It was a Rainy morning when I went to the venue which was in Coco Bango Cafe Intramuros, in White Knight Hotel Intramuros. After a few minutes of stay in the cafe the pretty Filipina's went in and it seems that the weather suddenly change the favor for the Mutya ng Pilipinas Candidates. Representing not only the cities of Luzon Visayas and Mindanao but also the Filipino Communities that are residing on different countries all over the World. Its like I'm in an international Beauty competition upon seeing all the candidates carrying their beauty and charm.

There were some activities that was meant for the candidates, aside from the opportunity to be interviewed by media personalities in Television, Print and Online Media. First activity was set for the some of the candidates while the others tour around Intramuros especially the candidates that is living outside the Philippines.

Take a look at the Beauties on electric chariot.

The other part of the group went to tour around Intramuros.

Interviews left and right from press people.

And of course pose for the cam like there is no tomorrow, which is deserving of their beauties and actually...I think at that time I am full even if I didn't eat up lunch. Its really nice to have pretty faces where ever you face your head.

In summary, the meet and greet still turn out to be successful even if it was raining on the later part of the event.

Chef Lau's Pugon Roasters - How about trying Pugon Roasted Chicken?

I've never thought that Fast Food can be made into something better. They call it, Fast Good! And that's definitely better. Most of use(not unless if you're vegan) are probably dining in a Fast Food Chain for several times in a week specially if that is the best option from where you work or where you're school is at, its not really that bad, but on a personal note my body's reaction after eating to fast food chains for more than  three times a week gains me more pounds as compared to bringing up my own food or even eating from the company pantry.

Good thing that there is such a Food Chain in the Metro that was introduced to me which gave me a different experience on dishes that I would love to eat and the best part of it, Its affordable!

Let me give you some shots of what I've tasted:

And the desserts:

And if you're someone that likes to have some chill out time with your friends specially after office work then this is also a good place to hang out. Simple: They also serve Beer!

Overall, what I can say is everything is okay in Chef Lau's Pugon Roaster(Beer Factor garnering the biggest point).

They have branches in Ayala Triangle Makati City,  Venice Piazza, McKinley HIll, Taguig City, and SM SUn Mall, Welcom Rotonda, Q.C.
