Eco Hotel is excited to announce the opening of its third restaurant venture, Chinampa Taqueria. The green hotel chain has recently been trying its luck in the food industry, with this Mexican restaurant as its latest brainchild. The grand opening is set on October 31st, 2018 at 6 PM in Cabins by Eco Hotel, Tagaytay.
Chinampa is the first passion project by Chef Elgin Alonso upon returning to the Philippines. Elgin was previously the Sous Chef at the Ritz Carlton Dubai, and came back home to Manila earlier this year. He wanted to introduce authentic Mexican cuisine to the Filipino palette, and after surveying the Tagaytay food scene discovered that this was exactly what was missing.
The roof deck at Cabins by Eco Hotel provides a quaint and unique location for this taqueria, with its unobstructed view of Taal lake and an open-air set up to enjoy the chilly Tagaytay weather. It’s a great way to enjoy classic Mexican dishes, such as soft tacos and burritos. Appetizers like Nachos and Chili Dynamite match perfectly with a cold beer.
Food is prepared fresh daily by Chef Elgin, as he also caters to the in-house guests. Chinampa offers Huevos Rancheros, a Mexican breakfast staple, for that extra authentic kick. The taqueria is open for lunch and dinner as well, Tuesdays to Sundays.
Eco Hotel would like to invite everyone to join us in opening Chinampa this Halloween! We will have live acoustic performances by popular local bands Lenses, Hilera and Autotelic. For only PHP 150 entrance fee, guests will get a free beer and unlimited nachos while supplies last.
For details and reservations, please visit www.ecohotels.com.ph or contact Millie Manahan, at 0927 673 7674..

ONE Interim Bantamweight World Champion Kevin
ONE Interim Bantamweight World Champion Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon is expecting a massive turnout from Filipino fans when he takes on reigning ONE Bantamweight World Champion Bibiano “The Flash” Fernandes at ONE: HEART OF THE LION in Singapore on 9 November.Home to thousands of overseas Filipino workers, the Singapore Indoor Stadium has enjoyed a huge Filipino crowd whenever ONE Championship hosts an event in the country known as “The Lion City.”
When Eduard Folayang challenged then-ONE Lightweight World Champion Shinya Aoki in November 2016, the stadium exploded from the screams of Filipino fans that filled every section of the state-of-the-art showground to support the beloved Filipino mixed martial arts superstar "Fighting in Singapore is almost like fighting in Manila. Thousands of Filipinos are based there, and they never fail to show support when their fellow Filipino is scheduled to compete at a ONE Championship event," Belingon said.
"I was there when Eduard Folayang pulled off the unexpected against Shinya Aoki to capture the ONE Lightweight World Title in 2016. Filipino fans were cheering for Eduard from start to finish, and the stadium erupted from the chants of countless Filipinos when he was officially crowned as the new ONE Lightweight World Champion," he added.
Now more than ever, Belingon is banking on crowd support when he takes on Fernandes in their highly-anticipated rematch on 9 November.
"I expect the same support, and hopefully an even bigger turnout from Filipino fans when I challenge Bibiano Fernandes for the ONE Bantamweight World Title on November 9 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Our country is known for its passionate and knowledgeable fans who never fail to show massive support for one of their own," he stated,.
Should the usual massive Filipino crowd show up, Belingon feels that it would help him muster an inspired performance to get crowned as the undisputed ONE Bantamweight World Champion.
"I know how big of a following ONE Championship has from Filipino fans. I'm confident that they will flock to the stadium and show support in what would be the biggest and most important bout of my career. A huge Filipino crowd will surely help bring out an inspired performance from me as I attempt to bring the gold-plated belt back to the Philippines," he ended.

BAVI is first Filipino company to provide leadership coaching to store managers
Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI), makers of Chooks-to-Go, has created Leadership Development, an internal coaching unit that provides leadership coaching programs to middle management employees and even first-time management trainees.
Since its launch in 2017, the Leadership Development unit has rendered an estimated more than 600 hours providing leadership seminars and coaching to about 100 store managers who handle more than 1,000 stores of BAVI’s roasted chicken brands nationwide.
“The results have been promising so far. Since people undergo coaching, they have someone they can talk to, process their experiences, come up with better ideas, and therefore, better performance,” shares Atty. Nedo Sasing, BAVI vice president for Human Resources.In a recent evaluation, BAVI discovered that business units that undergo coaching delivered five percent more sales versus those that did not, a huge boost given the large volume of chicken that the company brings to Filipinos every day.
In some large multinational and even Filipino-owned companies, it has become a practice to send top-level executives to leadership coaching seminars and workshops or contract external groups for a series of leadership training sessions among middle management employees.But BAVI president and general manager, Ronald Mascariñas, took a leap of faith, choosing to invest in an internal coaching unit with a deep understanding that the 21-year-old company will need high quality leaders from top-to-bottom to ensure its success in the next decades.
"BAVI is the first Filipino company that I know that has deliberately and extensively used leadership coaching as a strategy to improve business performance," said Gerry Plana, Investors in People Philippines CEO and People Management Association of the Philippines past executive director. “Their decision comes from a firm belief that corporate excellence is strongly driven by leadership excellence. And leadership excellence can only be ensured through a continuing coaching process and not a one-off leadership event.”
Leadership Development spearheads BAVI’s organizational development programs and is on track to expand its coverage to other company units and impact as many employees as possible with coaching.BAVI president and general manager Ronald Mascariñas believes in investing in people, regardless of rank or tenure, and providing what they need to be the best version of themselves.

Filipina atomweight standout Jomary Torres
YES , this is it After first career loss, Filipina atomweight standout Jomary Torres motivated to get back into winning formFilipina atomweight sensation Jomary “The Zamboanganian Fighter” Torres burst onto the ONE Championship scene in spectacular fashion back in 2017, shocking the world in her promotional debut with an upset submission victory over Thai mixed martial arts star Rika “Tinydoll” Ishige in Macau.Torres only continued to rise in her next assignments, as she cruised past Nita Dea via unanimous decision before putting on a dominant performance in a 40-second TKO victory over top contender April Osenio.Torres’ masterful display of power against Osenio was enough to get people talking about her as a legitimate contender to the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Championship, currently held by Singaporean mixed martial arts icon Angela Lee.
Unfortunately for the 22-year old Catalan Fighting System Philippines product, her meteoric rise came to a crashing halt at ONE: CONQUEST OF HEROES in Jakarta, Indonesia last 22 September, as she fell flat against hometown favorite Priscilla Hertati Lumban Gaol.
Torres was hell-bent on scoring takedowns, but was ultimately unsuccessful in her endeavor as Gaol outworked and outstruck the Filipina en route to a clear-cut unanimous decision victory.
It was a bitter pill to swallow for Torres, who found herself on the wrong end of the judges’ scorecards for the first time in her professional career. “It’s frustrating. This is definitely something that I don’t want to experience again,” Torres said of her maiden career loss.
“Instead of making the necessary adjustments, I kept on forcing the issue. I really wanted to take her down, but I just couldn’t do it, and Priscilla capitalized on that. She was the better competitor that night,” she added.
Now, faced with the unfamiliar task of needing to bounce back from a loss for the first time, Torres admits that some of the pressure of preserving an unbeaten record intact has been alleviated. “I have to admit that it’s kind of a relief for me because, I can focus on getting better and becoming an even more well-rounded mixed martial artist,” she expressed.
Armed with a renewed sense of motivation and the determination to avoid the undesirable feeling of defeat, Torres vows to come back a better and stronger competitor.
“It’s just one loss, it’s just my first loss. This is definitely not the end for me. I promise I will be back,” she proudly exclaimed. More than anything, Torres, says that the loss will only fuel her to get back on track and work harder towards becoming a world champion in mixed martial arts.“Many champions have gotten better after losing for the first time, and I plan to do the same. I believe this is just the beginning for me, and one day I will get to the top of the ONE Championship womens’ atomweight division,” she declared.

Filipino boxing champ Jerwin Ancajas makes special appearance at ONE: KINGDOM OF HEROES
Another update, ONE Championship is ensuring a festive week heading to its much-awaited live event in Bangkok, Thailand as Asia’s premier martial arts organization is bringing one of the most celebrated boxing champions on Saturday, 6 October.
Rising Filipino boxing superstar Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas will be making a special appearance at ONE: KINGDOM OF HEROES, which is headlined by a scheduled 12-round championship clash between WBC Super Flyweight World Champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and Mexican challenger Iran “MagnifiKO” Diaz.
“I am excited to meet all of the adoring martial arts fans in Bangkok this weekend. The Thai people are so passionate about combat sports. ONE Championship has prepared a stacked card featuring a solid group of local competitors mixed in with some of the best international talents on the company’s roster,” he said.
“Aside from mixed martial arts and Muay Thai matches, ONE Championship will hold its first boxing bout on Saturday. I am ready for an amazing night of action. I can’t wait to be there and witness some fireworks,” Ancajas added.
Hailing from Panabo City, Davao del Norte in the Philippines, Ancajas has been touted as the next standard bearer of the country’s well-established boxing scene after capturing the IBF Super Flyweight World Championship against McJoe Arroyo in September 2016.
Since his world title-capturing performance two years ago, Ancajas has defended his red-laced boxing strap on six different occasions.
Ancajas, who holds a professional boxing record of 30-1-2 with 20 knockouts, settled for a split draw in his most recent outing against Mexico’s Alejandro Santiago Barrios.
The 26-year-old Filipino southpaw looks to square off with some of the big names in the 115-pound weight class early next year, including Sor Rungvisai, Khalid “Kal” Yafai and Juan Francisco Estrada.
Ancajas was at ringside this past April to watch ONE: HEROES OF HONOR live in Manila, Philippines, which left a lasting impression in him due to the organization’s work in its world-class production and exceptional promotion of its athletes.
"Last April, it’s my first time to watch a live mixed martial arts event. I've always watched it on TV, but it's a whole different experience seeing it live. I really had a delightful time. The production value is truly world-class,” the boxer shared.
Ancajas pointed out that ONE Championship’s dive into the boxing scene would make a huge impact on the sport.
"ONE Championship is a huge promotion. It will be good for boxing because there are only a few big boxing promoters in the Philippines and in Asia. This kind of support is needed, and should boxing have this kind of events, it will be a huge help for boxing in the region,” he stressed.
