On September 25, 2015, we went to RJ
Bistro at the lower basement of Dusit Thani Hotel along Epifanio delos
Santos Avenue (EDSA) corner Pasong Tamo in Makati City, Philippines
after we had our tour in Makati City.
Mr. Ramon P. Jacinto or
RJ Jacinto in short is a well known musician and guitarist in
Philippines. He owns RJ Guitar Stores, RJTV 29, and radio stations (DZRJ
810AM and RJ 100.3FM). He is a King of Rock and Roll in Philippines.
He's a legendary and respected musician in Philippines.
Since I
visited in Philippines, I decided to have a mini-reunion with my high
school classmates of Mapua Institute of Technology at RJ Bistro. I chose
RJ Bistro because I want to watch the concert of RJ Jacinto again. He's
my favorite musician since my high school days. We scheduled our
mini-reunion on Friday so that we can watch RJ Jacinto in the concert.
The entrance fee is PHP 500 per person but the good news is that the
entrance fee is waived only that day for any reason. We just paid the
drinks and snacks. The whole area was full and the concert was also
tapped live at RJTV 29. RJ Jacinto's wife, Frannie Jacinto was also
there in the bistro.
We love the music from 1960s, 1970s, and
1980s. Everyone were enjoying in watching the concert even my
classmates. RJ Jacinto started his concert from 9:00pm to 11:00pm
although the bistro started at 8:00pm. I suggested to come early as much
as you can so that you can get a nice spot at the nearest.
There's a promotion also. If your total bill is PHP 2000, you will get 1
free t-shirt. If PHP 4000, 2 free t-short. If PHP 6000, 3 free t-shirt
and so on.

After we had lunch at Dampa or Seaside
Seafood in Baclaran, Parañaque City, we went to Makati City to have a
tour at Ayala Center, Landmark, and Greenbelt. Because of heavy traffic
and limited parking space, we decided to park at Ayala Center and then
we walk along Ayala Avenue, Makati Avenue, Buendia Avenue, Paseo de
Roxas, and Pasong Tamo. Most of the corporate headquarters are located
in Makati City that's why it is always busy at anytime.
Makati
City is the richest city in Philippines. Before, it was the richest
town in Rizal that's why Rizal was a premiere province in Philippines.
Right now, Makati is now a multimillion income earner city in
Philippines. It is also a Business Capital of the Philippines.
After six years since my last visit in Philippines in 2009, Makati is
now more crowded, congested traffic, and more establishments that why
the government decided to change the traffic plan. Be careful when you
visit in Makati because there are many one way road there.
Most of the foreigners are staying in the luxury hotels in Makati
because it is peaceful and not so crowded compared with Manila. Makati
is a clean city because they want to keep it clean and attractive as
well especially for the foreign visitors.
We enjoyed our tour
in Makati City although we walked along the streets and roads. The peace
and order is also excellent with the help of Makati police as well as
the flow of traffic.

On September 25, 2015, we had a tour in
Parañaque City, Philippines together with my cousin Rose Ann Zapanta,
and her friends Ronald Castro and Ronald Castro. The two Ronald Castro
are best friends and they are not related to each other.
From
Baliuag, Bulacan, we traveled to Baclaran Area in Parañaque City to have
our lunch at Dampa or Seaside Seafood. Seaside Seafood is located
besides Baclaran Church or Redeptorist Church. Thanks God it's Friday
because the area is not very crowded. The novena of Baclaran Church is
scheduled anytime on Wednesdays and the area is so crowded during the
novena. Also, the sidewalk vendors of Baclaran Church make the area
crowded.
Anyway, the Seaside Seafood sells all kinds of seafood
at anytime. It is also one of the tourists spot in Philippines
especially to foreign visitors. It is established in 1974. Until now,
Seaside Seafood is still in the business and it is already featured in
magazines and tv shows.
We bought two crabs and one kilo of
fresh squid. The price of two crabs is PHP 580 and the price of one kilo
of squid is PHP 320. Not bad for 4 people. After this, we went to 2nd
floor to ask to cook our seafood. They cooked the crabs in chili garlic
sauce while the squid into fried calamari and sizzling spicy. The total
cost for cooking the seafood including rice and soft drinks is PHP
1,080. Not bad also for 4 people. This is cheaper compared with Chinese
Restaurant and Seafood Restaurant. Everyone was so full because we ate
many rice. If you eat seafood especially with the spicy sauce, then you
will eat many rice also.
After this, we walk along Baclaran
Church to have a short tour there. The Seaside Seafood is located along
Roxas Boulevard corner Redemptorist Road in Parañaque City. You really
need to find a better parking spot because the area is crowded
especially during lunch time and dinner time.
