 In celebration of the Hermosa Festival 2009, City Councilor Gerky Valesco opened his 2nd Solo Art Exhibit titled "Algunas Veces" last October 5, 2009 at the Ateneo de Zamboanga University Gallery of the Peninsula and the Archipelago.
"'Algunas Veces' means sometimes in Spanish and Chavacano, the artist having an occasional time to showcase paintings after he won a seat in the City Council in 2007 which has made him one of the busiest councilors in the city. Last year, he was named as the neophyte councilor who filed the most number of ordinances and resolutions among which are for the promotion of local arts and artists." (ADZU Website)

PROVINCIAL food trip and why MANILA's so darn expensive

 Manileños rant about pretty much everything – their housing costs, their schedules, the girl next door, the traffic, you name it. But when it comes to food, they do not back down. Best eating city in the country? Manila! No question about it. Do not even get them started.
What makes a city a truly great eating city is when it is home to food you just cannot get elsewhere.
Some people still go to places where everything tastes generic from eat all you can places for less than P100 to blah Italian pasta joints (like Sbarro - euw) Well, some places still make these foods right, but they are so few and far between that the city’s food critics pounce on them and next thing you know you are waiting in line 30 minutes for a tiny cupcake or box of Krispy kreme.
