Personnel from Greenwich Pizza were very accommodating, they asked us first our choice for drinks while they were preparing the conference room. For days actually, I am craving for their thin crust pizza, their PR sent the pictures through email and yes, I am tapped right away.
Today’s pizza lovers have become more discriminating in their choices. Their preferences have leveled up to include not just the right topping but the crust as well. While some prefer to munch on thick crust, others opt for the crispier thin crust for a more flavorful feast.

Craving for this thin crust pizza from Grennwich. Will surely have this delicious pizza again.

Greenwich Pizza restaurant at Philfirst Building along Ayala avenue at Makati sponsored the Social Media Launched and committed to support all #2LaBS meetings.

I am a pizza lover since I am like in gradeschool. I like thin crust oh well, less carbs for me since I am on diet. There are a few reasons why more and more people enjoy their pizzas served on a thinner crust. Pizza lovers prefer crispy thin crust because they can savor the flavor of the toppings more than on a bready thick crust.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Greenwich Pizza at Philfirst Building along Ayala Avenue makati. We will be back. With me here are from Zoomanity Group Sassy Punzalan and Jhoy Galas with Vibal Foundation Gelo Lopez

When the manager at Greenwich Pizza delivered the different flavors at the table, she said that it's tastier when it's hot so we dig in right away.

While there is clamor for crispy thin crusts, most thin crust pizzas today become soggy over a short period of time and some are even too oily, dampening the appetite of thin crust fans. The good news is that Greenwich, the country’s favorite pizza and pasta chain, unlocks the secret to enjoying thin crust pizza with yet another brand new treat. The new Greenwich Pizza Thins is the delightful latest addition to the Greenwich menu touted to tickle the taste buds of discriminating pizza lovers.

A day with Andria at Sofitel

 I always like to stay at nice hotels. I just love hotels especially those posh, elegant and with an array of delicious food at the buffet. Well, I am thankful with my parents that they gave me a nice education and the will to succeed. Being at different posh hotels like Manila Hotel, Manila Peninsula and Sofitel gave me something to look forward too, to earn more, everything has cost, to dine at these elegant hotels is definitely not cheap. 

 It's July 2 and Pasig day, my kid Andria doesn't have class and perfect for a day of buffet lunch at Sofitel. Sofitel is the only French luxury hotel brand with a presence on five continents with 130 addresses, in more than 50 countries. Sofitel offers contemporary hotels and resorts adapted to today’s more demanding and more versatile consumers who expect and appreciate beauty, quality and excellence. Whether situated in the heart of a major city like Paris, London, New York or Beijing, or nestled away in a country landscape in Morocco, Egypt, Fiji Islands or Thailand, each Sofitel property offers a genuine experience of the French “art de vivre”.

Tour de France

At the Spiral, Andria and I met with fellow writers from the city. There, an exciting array of specialties was prepared under the creative hands of Sofitel’s Regional Chef for Asia Pacific and Sofitel Philippine Plaza’s Executive Chef, Eric Costille. Sofitel prepares different French specialties each week to experience the different regions with Tour de France at Spiral. Tour de France is the most famous and historical cycling competition in the world. I am excited because it's my first time at Spiral.

French Chefs; Cecile and Eric

Bridgette Bardot

 Sofitel is celebrating July as French month. They pay tribute to the best of the best from France and one of them is Brigitte Bardot. Brigitte Anne-Marie Bardot is a French former actress, singer and fashion model, now an animal rights activist. She was one of the best known sex symbols of the 1950s and '60s. Starting in 1969, Bardot's features became the official face of Marianne (who had previously been anonymous) to represent the liberty of France. Andria and me received a magazine from Sofitel featuring a young Bridgitte at the height of her popularity. A very nice souvenir and just right to know her more under Sofitel, a stature of beauty and class.

"Andria was so thrilled and enjoyed the different delicious food from the buffet. Sofitels array of food is huge and when you're there, you don't know where to start. It's food porn and gastronomic ride. The lunch at Spiral, we both will never forget and planning to have the membership, it's not only affordable but worth every cents. Sofitel is the only 5 star hotel in the Philippines."

Economic global trend set by Ph gets international business excited

Manila, Philippines --- The recent debate over Dan Brown’s novel Inferno and its reference to Manila as the ‘the gates to hell’, that has put the city in an unexpected spotlight,it has proved to be more favourable for the country than negative according to global company Bodog Nation, which recently made Manila its global HQ.

Recruitment Director Jade Forlani explains, “Dan Brown’s fiction writing style has earned him many fans and critics alike. His tales are fun, fast and furious but they are certainly not to be taken seriously as Manila proves to be a Super City in a country that has earned 7.9% GDP growth early this year, the highest economic growth in Asia. It is an exciting pace for the country and we could not be more privileged to be expanding Bodog Nation in this fantastic city.”

The Philippines is fast becoming economic mover in Asia, attracting the interest of global companies everywhere the same way it has appealed to Bodog Nation. It has over 800 employees working in Manila, and has the need to hire over a 100 in the short term to cope with their growth in the region.

“Talent is vital to any company but in the Philippines the work ethic and application is as good as anywhere I have seen. As a result, getting the right people is very competitive. This is why we’ve taken the unique step of throwing our doors open to potential employees by having two ‘Open House’ events on June 17 and June 20 in our Makati and Quezon City offices to allow local people a chance to meet us and bring their resume’s with them,” adds Forlani.

Bodog Nation recently launched their ‘Fire Yourself’ recruitment campaign designed to find smarter, talented people to join this multi-cultural, rapidly growing international company.

###

About Bodog Nation: BodogNation is the heartbeat of the Bodog brand because it represents its own people. The Bodog Nation is currently just over 1,000 strong stretched across the globe but with its roots and headquarters firmly based in Manila.

The Bodog Nation was originally created to look after its employees and recruit regionally and those core values remain fundamental with over 100 open positions available in both Quezon City and Makati. But as the brand has grown in Asia so has the Bodog Nation and as such now wants to ‘give back’ to the city it calls home.

In the last year, the Bodog Nation has not just donated but also undertaken a number of charitable campaigns with Department of Education, Philippine Red Cross and Haribon Foundation. The largest part of the brand is Bodog Asia, which is also based and licensed in the Philippines - under the terms of that license Bodog Asia does not offer commercial services to Philippine customers – and so it wants to make sure it showcases the fast-rising city regionally, nationally and internationally.
