SITSIRYA SARI-SARI: SERVING SWEET MEMORIES THROUGH THE YEARS

Uniquely Filipino

Much has been said and written about Pinoy pop culture and tradition. Our enduring thoughtfulness & unparalleled hospitality is a known legacy rooted from and well-thought by our forefathers. History authenticate the fact that our tribe across the globe is “notorious” to extra-care for strangers as much as for love ones. OFW's homecoming won't be a complete trip, they say,  without extending something handy for someone. 

The  Happy Juans

True. Pinoys are fond of making people smile sans life's looming woes and crisis.  The one-of-a-kind  trait, no doubt,  run  in our blood and embedded deep in the core of our being.   We find bliss each time we get to receive. Joyful when we genuinely share. Likewise, we simply give more than our hands and arms could (even at some point, nothing is  left  to us). But the heck! its in our nature to do so.  Indeed,  our trademark  of  generosity shines  even brighter in contrast to that of our asian counterparts  and  smittened the rest of our foreign neighbors across the globe. 



Speaking of Inspiration, A  word-class  brand was born  in the Island!...

SITSIRYA SARI-SARI is a brainchild of modest Filipino couple OFRACE and ERA OCAMPO wayback 2001. Their influence, I found out were  mirrored from their family of cooks and resto'-business  owners. Their inspirations drawn from their harrowing events in life.  Their motivations, on the other hand, were all, but  triggered from the people who believed, tried, tested and helped promote  their so-called "labor of love " through the  years. 

The company's mantra, on the other hand,  magnifies the  values they instilled  out of their  honor to  God , Family and Country  towards topnotch Product & competitive Customer Services from a highly-trained Team of equally humble workers.  SSS envisioned to be one  of the prime source of good quality Philippine made sweets, delicacies and "pampasalubong" products at a friendly cost.   The aim of which, is to provide income-generating opportunities to franchisees, retailers and manufacturers that  channels to both local and international market. 


In the spirit of  celebration....

                          

Tantamount to Pinoy's pro-happy countenance, the sunny color & buntings of  SITSIRYA SARI-SARI signifies a  "fiesta" atmosphere.  

The brand's name itself means sweets & delicacies. Healthwise, the same is not a junkfood in kind, but  trad finger food delicately sourced  from the republic's far-flung shores. Hence,  the same  earned the nod of approval from government's trade industry sector.  

Now hailed as world class upon earning a seal of assurance by www.goldasiabrand.com 

OPTIMISM AT THEIR BEST

He continued to innovate his marketing skills and coached the newbies of the tips of the trade.

Rondina, Gervacio give PH its first win in FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Manila Open

The duo of SISI Rondina and Dzi Gervacio, the Philippines' best team bet in the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Manila Open, swept United States' Lindsey Fuller and Kaley Melville, 21-12, 21-16, at the start of the women's main draw yesterday at the Sands SM By The Bay. 

       

Although first-time partners in the sand court, Rondina and Gervacio seemed to have played together for so long, as the two used smart plays, solid attacking and sharp service against the much-taller Americans to give the country the much-needed win in the one-star tournament.

       

"We just played. We didn’t look at their perceived advantage over us and we didn’t think of how much bigger and taller they were,” said Rondina, who trained only with Gervacio for two weeks but has apparently connected so well.

     

"What we did was just showcase what we were capable of, what we could be proud of as Filipinos in front of the crowd rooting for us,” she added.

       

Rondina is the most experienced among Philippine team members, having played with Bernadeth Pons in last year's 29th Southeast Asian Beach Volleyball Championships in Singapore.

       

Other Filipinas who are making their FIVB World Tour debut were not as fortunate as they dropped their main draw openers.

       

DM Demontaño and Jackie Estoquia bowed to top-ranked Michelle Amarilla and Erika Bobadilla of Paraguay, 19-21, 13-21. Charo Soriano and Bea Tan were overwhelmed by Japan's Ayumi Kusano and Takemi Nishibori, 10-21, 9-21, while Karen Quilario and Lot Catubag lost to The Netherlands' Katja Stam and Julia Wouters, 13-21, 11-21. 

     

Demontaño and Estoquia were in control in the opening set, 12-9, but the Paraguayans rallied to prevail and eventually win in straight sets.

     

Soriano and Tan valiantly battled against the Japanese, who displayed superiority in every skill.

     

Kusano however, had kind words for Soriano and Tan, describing them as "Very good," during their FIVB World Tour debut. 

This is Kusano’s second appearance in the Philippines, having played for Japan that won an invitational tournament at the air-conditioned Philsports Arena three years ago.

     

Kusano and partner Nishibori struggled with the hot weather, describing the outside court as “very different” and the conditions as very difficult”.

     

As for the Filipino men’s teams who were seeking the needed experience in international play, they went winless in their respective men's main draw openers.

       

Calvin Sarte and Jade Becaldo narrowly lost to Sweden's Martin Appelgren and Simon Boman, 24-26, 23-21, 13-15, while Ranran Abdilla and Edwin Tolentino dropped a similar heartbreaking loss against Hong Kong's Kevin Lao Tsz Ho and Wong Pui Lam, 18-21, 22-20, 10-15. 

       

Kevin Juban and Raphy Abanto bowed to Austria's Florian Schetzer and Daniel Mullner, 10-21, 14-21, while KR Guzman and James Pecaña also took a straight sets loss to Chinese-Taipei's Wang Chin-Ju and Hsieh Ya-Jen, 20-22, 14-21.d

Rounds of 12 in both men’s and women’s divisions and the quarterfinals are the focus of action tomorrow, May 5, in two courts at The Sands from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The event is promoted by E-Plus Global Sdn Bhd and organized by Beach Volleyball Republic Inc.

Hundreds Take Part in Action-packed AXN RED Summer Challenge

AXN’s summer campaign concluded in a sunny and vibrant note as revelers of LAborUNION joined the AXN RED Summer 2018, which was held last Saturday, April 28, 2018 in San Juan, La Union.

Weekend warriors braved the blazing sun as they trooped to the North Shore for the whole-day action-packed event. Hundreds tested their mental and physical skills and participated in the AXN RED Summer Challenge obstacle course.


Starting the course is the Yamaha Maze, where the participants weaved their way through the maze to find their way out. The All-New Mitsubishi XPANDER’s Monkey Bars tested the challengers’ endurance as they swing from bar to bar to finish the challenge. Continuing the course is the Transitions Crawl challenge. Not minding the hot sand, the challengers crawled to get through the hoops on the sand while wearing crazy goggles. San Mig Light’s Balancing Act challenge tested the challengers’ wit as they tried to balance the scale with bottles containing sand on one end, and bottles containing water on the other. AXN ended the course with a splash of bucket of water. The top 3 male and top 3 female challengers with the least time were declared winners.

Emerging victorious for the male category are Dan Fontanilla (champion), Cedric Riveral (first runner-up), and Justine Rial (second runner-up). For the female category, the winners are Cris Danica Leyba (champion), Jess Nunag (first runner-up), and Dan Katrina Leyba (second runner-up). Each received cash and exciting prizes from AXN and its sponsors.


Course participants and non-participants alike also had fun at the different booths from sponsors and AXN’s sister channels. The Sony Channel Lounge provided free henna tattoos and hair braiding. The Animax booth treated everyone to free ice cream, and the GEM booth entertained everyone with games. Bands Nathan & Mercury and Dayaw provided the mood music in the afternoon.

AXN surely knows how to provide the fun and thrill in LAborUNION. Until the next one!
