Stoop Bagnet Ilocos | A Mouthwatering Ilocos Cuisine Experince

Stoop Bagnet Ilocos is now on Quezon City!!!

Located at : 53-1 A AL3 Bldg. Visayas Ave. Brgy. Vasra, Quezon City

Quezpn City, Philippines - Last April 26, I was invited for a treat from Stoop Bagnet Ilocos to taste their Bagnet special in their Quezon City area. I was very excited to taste what Stoop can offer in comparison to the different Bagnet house in the Philippines. 

As i enter inside the place it very noticeable that the place is set up for a small number of people inside the room. The table and chair resembled a typical fastfood restaurant in the Philippines , although this kind of setup is what the Filipino love the most, intimate and quick-to-go.

What is special about this place is their condiments. Bagoong Ilocos (Boneless Bagoong Sauce) and Sukang Ilocos (Cane Vinegar) all natural/ no preservation will remind you of what it is like to be in Ilocos. If you want your taste-bud to experience the real taste of Ilocos with Bagnet together with their special sauce, i recommend you to try their food. 

As a promo they are currently having a Buy 1 Take 1 promo for their silog meal 

Another that you should try  is their Sizzling Bagnet for Php 180 only and Bagnet Bossing if one meal is not enough for you. 

I tried their bagnet meal with KKB, you can choose from this following side dishes:  KBL( Kamatis, Bagoong, Lasuna), KKB ( Kamatis, Talbos ng Kamote, Bagoong), TBA (Talong, Bagoong, Alamang), Indulge yourself after with their Fruit Salad Icecream.  

The inspiration of putting up Stoop Bagnet Ilocos, a restaurant serving authentic Ilocano cuisine stemmed from Jay Seneres’ acquired taste and craving for Ilocano food. He was then working for an airline company. Upon the invitation of his good friend and co-worker Galen Cid, they would spend vacation from work at Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, Galen’s hometown. Galen’s mother would cook adobo Ilokano, Igado, dinengdeng and pinakbet from fresh meats and vegetables from them. Jay was introduces to bagoong with talbos ng kamote, kamatis and lasuna (native onions) – to empanada, sukang Ilokos, longanisa, atbp. And the most unforgettable of them all-the bagnet! Jay was hooked.

In Manila, Jay would search for restaurants serving Ilocano food – but found no good ones. Frustrated, he suggested to Galen, that they open an Ilocano restaurant. The two friends agreed that they just needed a good business plan, a good product packaging and a good presentation for the concept to materialize. Still keeping their airline jobs, they decide to go for it! They came up with the name “Stoop Bagnet Ilocos”. “Stoops” is actually a funny moniker they and their close friends call each other – coined word that means “buddy”.

Thus, in March 2008, the first Stoops Bagnet Ilocos fast food restaurant was opened along 1021 Pablo Ocampo St. (Vito Cruz) corner Arellano St. Malate, Manila. For two years the first Stoops branch gained a foothold serving  good tasting bagnet and other Ilocano dishes at affordable prices with fast and reliable service. Owing to a growing customer following, a second branch was opened in August of 2010, a third was opened in Legarda St. Sampaloc, Manila. For six years, the three branches have been in operation under Stoop Bagnet Ilocos Company, a partnership formed by the two founders.

In May 2014, Jay Seneres, realizing the good potential of the business decided to franchise the Stoop brand and concept. He formed a new company – SBI Franchise System Inc. to handle the franchise business of Stoop Bagnet Ilocos. The Corporation will manage all future expansion of the brand.

QnA with MIKE VAN DIEM

Academy® Award winning director, Mike van Diem returns to the big screen with an off-beat, charming and romantic comedy, THE SURPRISE

Mike Van Diem won an Oscar for his debut feature film entitled “Character” back in 1997. This was in the Best Foreign Language Film category of the 70th Academy Awards. And in that same year, “Character” was also presented in the “Critics Week” section of the 32nd Cannes Film Festival. Despite many offers from Hollywood, he decided to stay in the Netherlands to direct several commercials. THE SURPRISE will be his return to the big screen. Shot in Germany, Ireland, and Belgium, THE SURPRISE will feature three spoken languages: English, Dutch, and Hindi.

From winning an Academy Award for your debut film and taking so long to make a next one. Fear of failure?

No, not as far as I know. I got many offers from Hollywood. The first few years after winning the Academy Award I was asked to come to Los Angeles many times. Looking back on it, it’s not that surprising. You win an Academy Award because you’ve made a special, original and authentic film and Hollywood isn’t that interested in those films. It’s like receiving a Michelin Star and being asked to grill burgers.

I have been working on several projects for a short time and was hoping to make it more personal and push it to a higher level. In the end only the thriller SPY GAME could be seen on the big screen, after endless postponement and disagreement, but then I had already left. Meanwhile, I got several jobs in the Netherlands as a director of commercials. The financial need to make another feature film was missing and I started to lose interest in feature films. I hardly saw any films anymore, while I used to watch them all the time. That was a sign. Although the people around me told me I was obliged to my talent, I felt I had lost the spirit. It wasn’t easy to acknowledge that and it took some time before I was at peace with it. But ultimately, this resignation made the fire blaze again a couple of years ago. I thought: “I’m finally going to make THE SURRISE.”

 Finally?

In 1990 someone told me about the short story DE SURPRISE by Dutch writer Belcampo, about a man and a woman who both wish to leave this world. But when they meet, they fall in love and want to get out of the deal, which cannot be done so easily. The idea is: only when facing death, you live life to the fullest and everyone should live their life like it’s their last day on earth. I thought this was a strong, universal story that I, as a writer/director, could adapt and personalise. To make a long story short: THE SURPRISE would be my first feature film. But the timing was very unfortunate. Belcampo had just died and his heirs had too much on their mind to think about filming rights. I had just graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy and wasn’t that experienced. Due to mutual lack of decisiveness I didn’t got the filming rights. But when I contacted Belcampo’s daughter a few years ago, she recognised me immediately and was enthusiastic about making a film of Belcampo’s story.

After CHARACTER, you didn’t expect you to write and direct a romantic comedy, right?

Perhaps not in that order, but THE SURPRISE and CHARACTER have more in common than you might think. Not only thematically, but also when you look at the design: again quite grand, real cinema, while the story is again timeless and universal. Besides that, THE SURPRISE isn’t a dime a dozen, like other romantic comedies. The film is very entertaining and romantic, but doesn’t fit in your average romcom list.

Casting actor Jeroen van Koningsbrugge as the main character, who is ultimately funny but also dead serious, is quite remarkable. Why him?

While writing the script some aspects of Jeroen’s role reminded me of Peter Sellers in BEING THERE and Jim Carrey in THE TRUMAN SHOW. Not only the eccentricity of the character, but also the tragic loneliness combined with a very friendly, almost childlike openness. This was something Robin Williams could also play very well. I thought that perhaps I needed a comedian to play the lead instead of a ‘normal’ actor. I had seen Jeroen in the Dutch television show Draadstaal where he had played some moving scenes with the exact childlike innocence I was looking for. He became my one and only choice. Without him I wouldn’t have made the film. Luckily he was very enthusiastic and also accepted my only demand: he needed to lose at least twelve and a half kilo’s. In the end he managed to lose seventeen. He was extremely disciplined.

Why did he need to lose so many kilo’s?

I mainly knew Jeroen from Draadstaal, but I realised that most people in the Netherlands knew him from Ik hou van Holland, a big Dutch TV show airing on Saturday night. In this program he is mostly a sociable and Burgundian guy who keeps the party alive. That image contradicted with his credibility as Jacob in THE SURPRISE. Of course, Jeroen is a very skilled actor and will make you forget about this other image instantly, but losing the weight combined with his clothing and the international setting gave him some extra support.

 How did you cast Georgina Verbaan?

That wasn’t so hard. There are very few good female comedians in the Netherlands and even less that could play a female lead. For the role of Anne we only invited a handful of actresses. We did some screen tests and raised the bar higher and higher every time. In the end, Georgina was the overall winner and I’m sure that none of the other actresses envy her for this victory. When you watch the film it seems like this role has been written especially for her. One day before the principal shooting of THE SURPRISE, Dutch comedian Claudia de Breij praised Georgina’s acting skills in the Dutch television show De Wereld Draait Door and said that Georgina deserved a great project where she could use all of her talents. THE SURPRISE could be that project. And now I have finished the film, I’m absolutely sure of it. Georgina plays a lovely, versatile role and has excellent chemistry with Jeroen.

And Jan Decleir?

Jan, who played the lead in CHARATER, wasn’t supposed to be in THE SURPRISE. Jeroen plays a multimillionaire with an enormous estate and initially I had written the part of a butler in the story, the only person Jacob could talk to. I started casting but couldn’t find an actor with the charisma to make the role of the butler work. Jan has the charisma, but isn’t the butler type of guy. So I rewrote the part of the butler and made him a gardener, which suited Jan better. Jan and Jeroen immediately connected during the first read of the script and their chemistry is visible on screen. Jan also connected so well with Georgina. Jan really enjoyed making this film and we surely enjoyed working with him.

Back to the beginning: if you hadn’t won an Academy Award, would you have made more films?

Who knows? Perhaps for financial reasons, if my job as a director of commercials hadn’t gone so well. But economic necessity isn’t a strong motive for making a good film. I have learned a lot in the meantime and lived rather happily.

So, no regrets about winning the Academy Award?

Ask an ice skater if he regrets winning a medal and he will say no. It’s an amazing experience that I can recommend to everyone. You might think that every advance has its disadvantage, but I wouldn’t say that. Except everyone keeps nagging about when you’re going to make your next film. But that’s a prize I’m willing to pay.

PLDT HOME now lets subs ‘Pay Anytime, Pay Anyday’ with PLDT Pay Express Machine

Manila, Philippines – Lining up or rushing to the nearest PLDT office to pay your PLDT bills will soon be a thing of the past, as PLDT HOME and Bayad Center roll out the PLDT Pay Express machine.

The PLDT Pay Express Machine is a touch-screen, self-service machine that accepts cash notes like a vending machine. It is very easy to use with its customer-friendly menu buttons that make for an easy “Touch-Pay-Go” process and quick bills payment experience. And since these are located outside the PLDT offices, it means that customers can now make payments even beyond regular office hours, or even during weekends. Customers can truly enjoy the freedom to pay their bills any time of the day and any day of the week.

Subscribers of PLDT HOME, SME and Home Bro can now pay their bills on the PLDT Pay Express Machine. Prepaid phone customers of Smart, Talk ‘N Text and Sun can also do their load transactions in this machine. Currently, this service will be available in Mandaluyong and Marikina PLDT Sales and Service Centers. Future rollouts will be done until the end of the year, with Cebu, Davao, Baguio and other Metro Manila sites starting in May.

According to PLDT Consumer Credit and Collections VP Jonel M. Ladaban, the number of users has quadrupled from the time they piloted its use in December 2015. “We’ve also seen an increase in the number of repeat customers using this service which is indicative of growing confidence in its ease of use and convenience,” he said.

Earlier this year, PLDT HOME also launched the Pay Express Truck in Cebu and Manila. This mobile payment center doubles the cashier capacity in the PLDT Sales and Service Centers during peak periods, allowing for a faster payment experience.

Ladaban added, “In the pipeline are other initiatives like a mobile payment application and other digital payment platforms. This is part of our commitment to empower our subscribers by giving them freedom and control over their bill payment schedules, and provide them reliable end-to-end customer service.”

The next smartphone superstar finally arrives with groundbreaking technology

Multi-awarded LG G5 and Friends “play” their way to the Philippines

MANILA – The Mobile World Congress was blown away last February 2016 when LG Electronics first unveiled the playful LG G5 and Friends, the latest addition to the global technology innovator’s renowned G Series. This breakthrough innovation bagged a record-breaking number of 33 awards at what is known to be the mobile industry’s ‘Oscars’.

Two months later, the celebrated smartphone found its way to the Philippines, making its debut in a grand launch in Shangri-La at the Fort.

Play More with LG G5

The prestigious event was graced by a number of prominent personalities such as Phil and James Younghusband, Ginger Conejero and more. Throughout the program, LG G5 and Friends were given ample praise by different industry experts: Qualcomm Southeast Asia Regional Head Mantosh Malhotra for the G5’s power-packed hardware, music DJ Jessica Milner for the Hi-Fi Plus with B&O Play sound accessory, and lifestyle-travel blogger Chuckie Dreyfus for the 360 CAM accessory.

Celebrity parents Doug and Cheska Kramer showed the audience why they love the LG G5 and Friends through their Rolling Bot video demonstration with their kids and pet dog. And to reinforce G5’s message “Life’s Good When You Play More”, comedic video blogger Wil Dasovich presented his collaboration with LG through a heart-warming CSR project conducted for the children at the Philippine Children Medical Center (PCMC).

Unique Modular Design and Industry-Leading Camera

LG G5 sports the brand’s first-ever Modular Type design, encased in a sleek metal aluminum body and a Slide-out Battery which can easily swap a depleted battery with a fully charged one. Complete with LG Friends, a collection of companion devices, the G5 can be transformed into a digital camera, Hi-Fi player and more.

Reflecting LG’s longstanding reputation as a leader in smartphone cameras, the LG G5 has two cameras on the rear: one with a standard 78-degree lens and another with a 135-degree wide angle lens, the widest available in any smartphone. The 135-degree lens on the LG G5 offers a viewing angle that is approximately 1.7 times wider than those of existing smartphone cameras and 15 degrees wider than the human eye’s field of view. The wide angle lens makes it easier for users to capture more landscape, taller buildings or larger groups without having to position oneself further from the subject.

LG G5’s unmatched camera qualities are further enhanced with powerful photo effects including Pop-out Picture, Film Effect and Auto Shot. Pop-out Picture combines images taken by the standard and wide angle lens to create a picture-in-a-frame effect. Film Effect can apply nine different film emulators to an image while Auto Shot is an enhanced camera UX which automatically captures the perfectselfie shot when a face is recognized.
