Maginhawa Street in Quezon City is one of the top go-to places for a food trip around the metro. However, the turnover rate in the area has become really high lately. I’m having a hard time keeping this list updated every time a new restaurant opens or closes in the area. To make my life easier, I’ve decided to just narrow down this list to 10 places to eat in the Maginhawa area (which are still open as of January 2019).

Revisiting Siargao after Six Years
A lot has changed in Siargao since the fist time I visited in 2012. The quiet island where I found peace and serenity during one of my first memorable solo trips felt uncomfortably crowded. Despite it being the lean season, direct flights have made the island more accessible to international and local tourists. Tourism is booming in General Luna.

The Legacy Trail at Masungi Georeserve
Masungi Georeserve is a conservation area and karst rock garden hidden in the rainforests of Baras in Rizal. I’m sure by now, most tourists are familiar with the giant hammocks, rope bridge courses and spiderweb-like view deck, which are the highlights of the Discovery Trail. For those who would like to delve deeper into the forest, engage with the local community, and make a difference somehow, the park just launched a new trail called the Legacy Trail.
Product Review: Collapsible Cup by EcoHeroes
Plastic pollution is a major problem all over the world. Did you know that the Philippines is the third worst plastic polluter of the oceans? One of the most depressing things about traveling is seeing how the human race is trashing the planet. Beautiful beaches and tourist spots all all over the country littered with single-use plastic like plastic bags, shampoo sachets, bottle labels, plastic cups and straws.

Nipa Brew Craft Beers: Brewed for Adventure
One of the things I love the most about traveling to new destinations is trying out new things, particularly beer. You could always drink the same old thing you’ve gotten used to, but why should you when there are so many other beers to try out, right? The Philippines is in the midst of a craft beer revolution and if you haven’t tried any of these local beers, you’re missing out on a lot! If you’re curious about the whole craft beer scene or are just starting to appreciate the variety of beer styles and flavors available in the country, you might want to ease in with some (or all) of Nipa Brew’s beers.

Rider Spotlight: Mizziel Serra
International rider and model Mizziel (pronounced My-Shell) Serra is currently in the Philippines for work to shoot a television show called Island Hunter: Philippines which will be aired on the National Geographic channel. Despite her busy work schedule, she made it a point to connect with local riders and riding clubs and managed to squeeze in several rides in Metro Manila during her free time.
Seda Vertis North, Quezon City
Most top hotels in the metro are concentrated in the old Manila and Makati area. There aren’t a lot of upscale hotels in the North, particularly in Quezon City where I live. But with QC being developed a business and lifestyle hub, residents now have more hotel options without having to go too far. For those who want to enjoy stylish accommodations, international cuisine and excellent service, Seda Vertis North is a good option.
