It used to be at Congressional Avenue, but it has relocated to Kalayaan Avenue, with branches in Timog and Quirino Highway. In 2010, a third Pork Barrel restaurant opened in Antipolo City.  Yes, this was way before Janet Napoles became a household name.

The name “Pork Barrel” was chosen because their specialty is grilled pork and they used to serve beers in barrels. “Serving beer in bottles was not popular back then,” according to owner Baby Cruz.

di bitaw makabuot si boss nimo mao nga gasige na lang siyag threaten kang hubag.  tell your boss that it matters not whether he's appreciated or not.  in the first place, why should he expect appreciation?  as long as he does right and harms no one, why should he bother about other people's opinion of him? 

if your boss feels that donating for the chess tournament is an honor, let him feel that.  if others don't feel the same way, why should it bother him especially as his repeated announcement of it in screaming letters pockmark this website in unlikely threads? 

tell your boss that his excuse of being overly sensitive is no ticket to expect others to tread carefully when it comes to his expectations.  we're not here to massage anybody's ego. 

lastly, please tell your boss that he reminds some of us here of gollum and smeagol, not the face, of course not, but of someone who talks in the third person to himself and about himself.

yes, i've lived in dubai for 3 and a half years.  no, i didn't work there.  5 things that i cherish about living there:

1.  great place, great people, great culture
2.  cultural and traditional kindness to animals is very pronounced
3.  locals (i.e., emiratis who are arabs) are formal and distant with strangers, but they suddenly smile broadly when they see me feed stray cats
4.  indians, who are the majority, are way friendlier than fellow filipinos, i don't know why
5.  gulf news, my favorite broadsheet; real good writing, great choice of topics and articles; helmed by british writers, staffed by filipino and indian writers, owned by emiratis naturally; i miss this kind of newspaper, honest

In the morning, US Consul Blaine Porter visited the monastery.  He confirmed that her security was at risk but Aquino insisted on returning to Manila where the People Power Revolt was unfolding.

“He offered to send Cory back to Manila on a submarine. She declined and went ahead with her plans to return on a private plane of the Ayalas,” Cuenco recalled.

this proves once more what everybody suspected all along---that the u.s. government was supporting EDSA.

In the morning, US Consul Blaine Porter visited the monastery.  He confirmed that her security was at risk but Aquino insisted on returning to Manila where the People Power Revolt was unfolding.

“He offered to send Cory back to Manila on a submarine. She declined and went ahead with her plans to return on a private plane of the Ayalas,” Cuenco recalled.

On the morning of Feb. 25, or four days after the Edsa Revolution broke out, Corazon Aquino was sworn in as the first woman president by the late chief justice Claudio Teehanke in simple rites at the Club Filipino in Greenhills. Correspondent Michelle Joy L. Padayhag

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/

“I was driving in a zigzag manner,” recalled Cuenco, of his effort to avoid detection.

The gates of the Carmelite monastery are locked at night. The mother superior  had instructed Cuenco to blow the car horn following a specific pattern as their “password”.

Cory and Kris were given a second floor room. While Kris, a 15-year-old girl then,  slept the  night in her mother stayed awake praying the rosary.

Cuenco admitted he was so tense that he walked into a glass door, smashing his glasses and wounding his forehead.

Nevertheless, he carried out his role as the assigned driver with wife Nancy by his side and the Aquinos and Cojuangco in the back seat of a new red sedan owned by Cebu businessman Lito Osmeña.

At Peping Cojuangco’s request, nobody else knew where they were  going.

Cuenco immediately announced to the  crowd that there was trouble in  Manila and ended the program at 6 p.m.

With his wife Nancy in tow, Cuenco first drove  Cory, Kris and Peping Cojuangco to the home of Norberto Quisumbing Jr. in Cebu City for a meeting with allies.

There, it was decided that Cory and the others had to find a safe haven because she was a target for liquidation by security forces loyal to  Marcos.

Hurried calls were made by Nancy Cuenco to the superior of the Carmelite order in Mabolo.  The mother superior agreed to provide sanctuary.

She was calling the nation to boycott crony companies of President Marcos.

“I was  the emcee at the rally  and Cory was about to deliver her speech but it did not happen,” he added.

Mrs. Aquino’s brother Jose “Peping” Cojuangco told Cuenco to end the rally.

“Tony, we should stop this, it is not safe anymore. I think  a revolution  is already happening,” Cuenco recalled Cojuangco telling him. This happened soon after Marcos’ Defense Secretary and military aides had withdrawn their support for Marcos.

another interesting tidbit of those times...

‘Best part of martial law was its end’

Cebu Daily News
Sunday, September 22nd, 2013

THE best and most unforgettable part of Martial Law, according to former Cebu City congressman Antonio Cuenco, was the way it ended with the February  1986 People Power Uprising.

“When we were informed that there was a revolution about to  happen in Manila,  we immediately secured Cory  (the late president Corazon Aquino) and  her daughter Kris who were both in Cebu at the time,” he told Cebu Daily News.

About a week after the Feb. 7 snap elections, the widow of the slain senator Benigno Aquino Jr. called up Cuenco, then an assemblyman in the Batasan Pambansa, to organize an indignation rally in Fuente Osmeña on Feb. 22, 1986.

ajaw tawon apil-apila ang atong lord anang imong pride gone berserk.

so?

to answer your question, fr chic pastor of louisiana, present po. this congressman boxer is very much around.

Tired of Edsa

He said his mother, Inday Nita, stood up and told the group that she would not hide.

Instead, she brought her son to her radio station booth and went on air to call Cebuanos to go out of their homes and join anti-Marcos protests.

Reflecting on the Sept. 21 anniversary of Martial Law,  Councilor Daluz said public discontent is seething again with reports of massive corruption through the abuse of the pork barrel system in the House of Representatives and Senate.

But he said it would take more than another Edsa People Power Revolution to resolve this.

“Corruption in the country is getting even worst.  But people are already tired of Edsa.  We already had two Edsas and nothing much has changed. I don’t think there will be another Edsa,” he said.

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/

Daluz said he was  with his mother on the eve of the first Edsa People Power in February 1986 when the late president Cory Aquino met with some national and Cebu officials in the home of Norberto Quisumbing in Cebu City.

He said he waited outside at the parking lot. In one instance, the late president Aquino went into the garage for fresh air and stood beside him.

“Ano na ba ang nangyayari sa bansa natin, iho? (What is happening to our country, son)?” Daluz recalled Cory Aquino asking him. He said he kept silent, not knowing what to reply.

Daluz said he could clearly hear the discussion inside, here former  senator Ramon Mitra asked everyone present in the meeting to go into hiding.

Daluz said he was among those who were mauled by the military and sent to detention at Camp LapuLapu for two to three weeks.

“I thought then that I would be in prison for a lifetime,” he said.

As the only surviving son, Daluz said it was his responsibility to accompany his mother in public events and political gatherings.

He was also exposed to victims of military abuse  who would come to their Banawa residence and seek Inday Nita’s help.

There were also several instances when he accompanied his mother to visit human rights victims at the hospital.

Safety

When he was 19 years old, Daluz was mistaken for an anti-Marcos activist at a rally he chanced upon.

Rally participants from the south and north district of the city were to converge in Tupas Street then.

Thinking that Inday Nita would join them, Daluz said he joined the south district group to look for his mother.

While they converged, soldiers on board trucks  arrived and arrested people in the area.

Rally participants scampered for safety but Daluz said he stood his ground.

“My mother told me never to run away because authorities  may get suspicious of you. But I was still arrested,” Daluz said in Cebuano.

He said this was one of the “darkest” moments of his life.

Inday Nita was arrested and detained in Camp lapu-Lapu for covering the Freedom March on Sept. 21, 1980.  That started her political activism and she became the most influential voice on the airwaves where she castigated  Marcos administration abuses. She was arrested twice in 1981.

She spent three months in jail along with other Cebuano martial law critics, including  Antonio Cuenco and  Ribomapil Holganza. She was later released and was elected assemblywoman in 1984. She, along with Cuenco and Marcelo Fernan were part of the 56 members of the Batasang Pambansa who filed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Marcos on August 13, 1985.

“Kuyaw kaayo to, oi.  Nakuyawan gyud mi tanan ato kay daghan kaayo sila unya pulos armado (It was frightening. We were terrified because they were so many and all were armed),” said Daluz, who was then 14 years old.

Daluz said he and his elder sister, Marivic, saw  how  soldiers dragged their mother to jail   based on an Arrest Search and Seizure Order (ASSO) issued by the Marcos regime.

Their seaman father, Jose,  was abroad and elder  sister, Maritess, was in Manila.

“My sister and I were unable to do anything. It was so easy to arrest people suspected by the government at the time,” Daluz told Cebu Daily News.

‘What’s happening to our country, son?’

By Doris C. Bongcac
Cebu Daily News
Sunday, September 22nd, 2013

Fifty to 80 military personnel surrounded the home of the Daluz family in Sun Valley in Banawa shortly after sunrise in 1981.

Former Cebu City councilor Jose Daluz III said soldiers climbed over the concrete fence and broke into the family home to arrest his mother, radio commentator Nenita “Inday Nita” Cortes Daluz.

President Ferdinand Marcos was still in charge despite declaring that martial law was “lifted.”

sorry, lorenz, that your sincere thread calling for hubag turned into these tiresome rants again.  my fault for unwittingly opening the door to this deluge.  i'm sure hubag would be back sooner than we expect.  like you, i enjoy reading his posts too.

i tried facebook lately, very briefly.  i shared the account with our little girl because she complained that she's the only one not allowed to have a facebook account and she can't understand why her classmates are allowed.  so i met her halfway, by sharing one account for us both.  (so i can monitor her posts.)  i gave up at once.  i can't stand the layout and all those pictures of people i couldn't tell from adam.

this is great.  1965?  vatican II, thereabouts, when the catholic church was treading the road of aggiornamento.

now it's clearer.  thanks.  the history of islam is just as bloody as the history of christianity, if i may say.

i'd rather look at things more simply and hope that doing so does not go against my own faith.  there are 3 monotheistic religions in the world, each believing in the one true god; god for christianity, allah for islam, and yahweh for judaism.  the difference is in the manner of worship, not in the belief of an almighty creator, who could be one and same regardless of how he is called.

isn't allah just the muslim name for god, as god is for english and ginoo is for visayan?

Physical description

The Black Stone consists of a number of fragments held together by a silver frame, which is fastened by silver nails to the Stone. Some of the smaller fragments have been cemented together to form the seven or eight fragments visible today. The Stone's exposed face measures about 20 centimetres (7.9 in) by 16 centimetres (6.3 in). Its original size is unclear; its recorded dimensions have changed considerably over time, as the stone has been remodelled on several occasions.(wikipedia)


The fragmented black stone, front and side illustrations.

The Black Stone (Arabic: al-Ḥajar al-Aswad) is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, the ancient stone building toward which Muslims pray, in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve. (wikipedia)

The Kaaba in Mecca, al-Hejaz, Saudi Arabia

The Kaaba ("The Cube"), also known as the Sacred House (Baytu l-Ḥarām) and the Ancient House (Baytu l-'Atīq), is a cuboid building in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is one of the most sacred sites in Islam.

Al-Masjid al-Haram, the most sacred mosque in Islam, is built around the Kaaba. Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are. From any given point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the Qibla. (wikipedia)

and congratulations, lorenz.  out of the magic 9 on the list, it's only you who seem to have consistently stayed active.

Grow old with me [TB]! The best is yet to be.

Date: 2001

Launched at Duke University by Will Pearson (our president) and Mangesh Hattikudur (our magazine's editor-in-chief), the first issue pretty well established the kinds of things we'd cover in the next dozen years: dumb laws, sumo wrestling, and things you can't sell on eBay.

18. Tiger Beat


Date: September 1965

Way back in 1965, a little mag called Lloyd Thaxton’s Tiger Beat debuted in the U.S., much to the delight of young ladies who hadn’t lost that lovin’ feeling for the Righteous Brothers. They shared the cover with a cartoon tiger and nods to The Beatles, the Beach Boys, Mia Farrow and Chuck Berry. Lloyd Thaxton, for his part, was a co-founder and columnist. The magazine lives on in print, on the web, in the App Store. The most current issue features all eleventeen members of One Direction.

17. Harper's


Date: June 1850

At 144 pages, the first issue of Harper's consists mostly of excerpts, poems, and articles culled from other sources. There was an illustrated fashion spread of tulip bonnets and straw hats for promenade, profiles (accompanied by illustrated busts) of T. Babington Macaulay, Archibald Alison, and William H. Prescott, an article titled "Women in the East," and an excerpt of Maurice Tierney's Soldier of Fortune.

16. ESPN The Magazine


Date: March 1998

The inaugural issue of the cable network's magazine featured four athletes they felt defined the next generation: Kobe Bryant (then just 19), Alex Rodriguez, Eric Lindros, and Kordell Stewart.

15. Fast Company


Date: November 1995

The premier issue of Fast Company was ahead of its time, but looks older than its years in retrospect: a lead story about groundbreaking female tech leaders (“A Woman’s Place Is in Cyberspace”), a detailed account of “How Netscape Won,” and plenty of tips for people who love tech, business, and the ins and outs of corporate ladder-climbing â€" including a guide to career counselors and advice from the VP of Intel.

14. Variety


Date: December 16, 1905

Variety's initial editorial statement: "We want you to read it. It will be interesting for no other reason than it will be conducted on original lines for a theatrical newspaper." To that end, the first issue featured an array of articles covering fads among vaudeville managers, corks, a list of new acts, and a column called "Mick Norton's reminiscences."

13. The Atlantic Monthly


Date: November 1, 1857

The "Magazine of Literature, Art, and Politics" used their first issue to print Sally Parsons Diary, but sadly, no weird ads.

12. Life


Date: November 23, 1936

On the cover: a photo of Fort Peck Dam. Inside, an article titled "10,000 Montana relief workers make whoopee on Saturday night" and a center spread called "Black Widow," in which readers were reminded that "hardly a week goes by that some newspaper doesn't carry the account of Man Killed by Black Widow Bite. . ."

11. Newsweek


Date: Feb. 17, 1933

The magazine formerly known as News-week started off with a snooze, featuring a compelling lead story titled "Easing Burdens of Debt and Foreclosure: Mortgagers, Ignoring Law, soon force virtual moratoria; Legislatures Prompt to Act; Congress Considers Measures for Early Relief of Hard Pressed Farmers, other home owners."  In a clever ploy to get people to actually purchase the magazine, they put Nazis on the cover.

10.Rolling Stone


Date: November 9, 1967

Rolling Stone's first cover was much less controversial than their latest: it featured a photo from story about the Monterey Pop Festival and a brief mention of the Grateful Dead ("a photographic look at a rock 'n roll group after a dope bust"), with John Lennon in "How I Won the War" on the cover. In 1967, a subscription was $5 for 6 months or $10 per year.

9. Esquire


Date: Autumn 1933

The first issue laid out the magazine's editorial mission: "Esquire aims to become the common denominator of masculine interestsâ€"to be all things to all men." The mag featured work by Ernest Hemingway, Dashiell Hammett and John Dos Passos, instructions on how to order properly at a restaurant, tips for achieving the perfect putt, and an essay titled "What a married man should know (About doing the marketing and getting his own breakfast and ducking all trouble in general)."

8. The New Yorker


Date: Feb 21, 1925

The New Yorker’s covers have been graced by the visage of dandy Eustace Tilley (nearly) every anniversary since 1926. The character was created for the magazine by Rea Irvin for the first issue. Also in that issue: short fiction (including “Say it with Scandal” and “The Story of Manhattankind”), a few pieces of nonfiction, and the magazine’s famous cartoons.

7. Nintendo Power


Date: July/August 1988

The Konami Code! A guide to beating Mike Tyson! The names of all the Metroid weapons! It's all here. Nintendo's magazine had a good run, but shut down last year.

6. Playboy


Date: December 1953

Hugh Hefner and his friend, Eldon Sellers, sold 53,991 copies of the first Playboy from a makeshift office in Hef's kitchen. The magazine, which was undated because no one knew if there would be a second, was enormously popular... thanks in no small part to Marilyn Monroe, who graced both the cover and the centerfold. And the articles, too, which everyone read.

5. Sports Illustrated


Date: August 16, 1954

The cover was a photo titled "Night Baseball in Milwaukee," showing slugger Eddie Matthews mid-swing. "Duel of the Four Minute Men: Bannister surges to victory in the heart-stirring Vancouver mile" was the big story, but the best feature was an ad for A. Harris Company Velvet Jeans: "With rhinestones flashing, our famous jeans salute the Wonderful World of Sport." Available in Italian twill-back velveteen with black, red, royal, peacock blue, or tangerine(!) stitching for only $17.95.

4. New York Magazine


Date: April 8, 1968

On the cover, "Tom Wolfe Tells if You're a Honk or a Wonk," and inside, ads for Chut-Nut (an "exotic colonial chutney") and Canada's plot to conquer the U.S. with their refreshing Red Rose Tea.

3. Wired


Date: March/April 1993

“The Rolling Stone of technology” published its first issue in early 1993 with a feature about war tech, a piece on what life would be like if our appliances had computer chip brains, and a jarringly prescient look at “libraries without walls for books without pages” a full decade before ebooks were a thing people had heard of. The full issue was released on iPad in 2013 for Wired’s 20th anniversary.
