Pizza Hut deviates from the all-too common buy 1 take 1 pizza for dine-in, that has taken the city like a storm for the past years (think Mama Maria's, Picobello, etc…) , by giving their all-new …
This promo allows you to have 2 family pan pizzas for the low low price of PhP 415.00! A real treat especially for spontaneous get-together and hang-outs w/ coworkers, buddies, family, and more!
Promo is valid until Sept. 19, 2011.
Authentic and tasty, Yurushi offers a wide range of Japanese dishes you would surely love! PhP100 is already too big to have your hunger satisfied in this place, for their dishes would only range from PhP 35-75.00! Would you believe that their Katsudon, Gyudon, and Okatsudon only costs PhP 65.00? And their servings are quite large, a real treat for those growing boys and heavy eaters! They also do not skimp on rice, so if you would want to eat high-carb meals, then Yurushi is the place for you!
My favorites would of course be their Katsudon, Gyudon, and thanks to my boyfie, I’ve also learned to love their Miso Soup. Yakisoba, Tonkatsu, Miso Soup, etc… name it, they’ve got it! Aside from their Japanese dishes, they also have a wide variety of Filipino dishes like adobo, lechon kawali, etc. Oh, and yes, their mango shake is A MUST-TRY!
From the outside, Yurushi might just look like a regular cafeteria or carinderia, but do not be tricked by this. For its interior part and even their upstairs room are actually air conditioned. They also have a coin-operated Karaoke machine upstairs which you and your friends will surely enjoy. Their seats can be quite limited, so make it a point to go there earlier before night-shift workers get their meals there. Also, do not expect to sit in cushioned chairs for this is one of those low-maintenance restaurants where you would have to seat in monobloc chairs.
Well, Yurushi when compared to other Japanese restaurants in the city, can be a bit on the low-end, since it is a low-scale restaurant whose location is not that inviting nor is it that popularized. This anonymity makes it a regular haunt for customers who do not have that much budget but are opting to have heavy meals. Their target customers are those who have night shifts, since they are open until 12MN, or those customers belonging to the class C.
But do not be tricked or be moved to not eat here because of its unfamiliarity. Amidst its low-maintenance and “maka-masa” look; in Yurushi, you are sure to have great value for your money with their tasty and authentic Japanese dishes that are offered in prices that won’t drain your wallets dry.

Sounds familiar, right? Of course, that is the popular tagline of the recent advertisement of Cortal SQR, which also features the members of Azkals. The former being a major sponsor of the latter continually collaborates with the team in order to promote football, not just in Luzon, but in the entire Philippines. (to read on their Davao Press Conference, click here)
This is also the reason why Cortal and the Azkals are making their rounds all over different cities in order to heighten up the interest of the youth in engaging into sports, without the fear of body pain.
With the new formulation of Cortal SQR, you are assured that your pain will be relieved in less than 15 minutes. A product of Pharma-Rex, Cortal SQR is available for only PhP 6.50 and can be taken once every 6 hours, or as prescribed by a physician. Not only is it the official pain reliever for the Team Azkals, it can also be yours, too. Cortal SQR is definitely what you need for quick relief and lasting action against body pains, at a very low price.
…
Cortal SQR, the newest pain reliever that combines the advanced formulation of Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, recently announced their continued support to Football, by supporting the Philippine National Football Team and the Philippine Contingent to the Homeless World Cup.
Some members of the Team Azkals namely, Yannick Tuazon, Misagh Bahadoran, Roel Gener and Nestor Margace, together with the Team Azkals coordinator, Ace Bright, came for a Meet and Greet with the Davao City Press in order to share their advocacy on promoting Football to the youth.
Vik Oliveros, the Cortal SQR Marketing Manager said, “Davao City is one of the places in Philippines in which football can really flourish. It is one of the biggest cities in the country and has a lot of open spaces where young children can play the sport.”
For some people, the word football can already evoke thoughts on expensive equipment and gear. To some, it can also be a complicated sport to learn, especially when one lacks the stamina and determination to pass the ball using only the torso, head, or feet, since the hands and arms cannot be used (except for the goalkeeper). These rules made this sport all the more difficult to learn and play.
However, when asked on whether football is an easy sport to learn and play, Misagh Bahadoran of Team Azkals confidently said, “Football is easy. If you know how to run, and you have a field, then, you can play it! Anyone can do it!”. Unbeknownst to many, Misagh, who, after graduating with a degree in Dentistry at CEU (Centro Escolar University), pushed through with his dream of playing the sport he loves most.
The 2 other players, Roel Gener and Nestor Margace who also came from far-flung provinces in the Philippines, also had their initial training at the sport without having to buy anything. With just a ball and a field to play, they were able to hone their skills, which eventually made them members of Team Azkals. And for Yannick Tuazon, “In football, all you need is passion,” is what he has to say for those who are interested in learning more about the sport.
When asked on how Cortal SQR and Azkals would go about their advocacy in promoting sports, most specially football, to the Filipino youth; Vic Oliveros of Cortal SQR mentioned about going to the grassroots level, like barangays and holding summer sports clinics where the kids can play the sport. Add up to that, Team Azkals is also thinking about having collaborations with some schools so they might be able to teach and introduce football to the students. More projects and collaborations are being brewed to promote their advocacy and make their goals a reality.
