Almost everyone who grew up in the mid ‘90s knew the ‘lechon manok’ craze the Baliwag Lechon Manok brand had spurred. Folks in and outside the Metro have a soft spot for this roast chicken kiosk that is named after its founder’s hometown Baliwag, Bulacan. 

To me the brand holds a special place in my heart as it brings back fond memories of Sunday get-togethers and celebrations with my family.  

Here are eight things I love about Baliwag Lechon Manok that you will love too:

1. Ready-to-fry frozen food packs

No need to sweat for hours to cook that perfectly deep-fried pork dishes. The Baliwag team repackaged their existing products and brought in together frozen ready-to-fry packages of Crispy Bagnet (Php 430), Crispy Ulo (Php 760), and Crispy Pata (Php 650) you can enjoy at home with short and simple reheating guide.

2. Ready-to-heat all-time favorite Filipino meals

Ready-to-heat Baliwag food packs include 15 all-time favorite Filipino dishes: Pork Binagoongan (Php 290), Beef Steak (Php 340), Kare-Kare (Php 435), Beef Caldereta (Php 345), Lechon Paksiw (Php 280), Dinuguan (Php 220), Lengua (Php ), Callos (Php ), Embutido (Php ), Laing (Php ), Spaghetti (Php ), Papaitan (Php 240), Bopis (Php ), Pork Sisig (Php 225), and Guising-guising (Php 220).

These food packs are good for three to four persons.

Enjoy a Baliwag feast at home you can share virtually or physically with family and friends especially this coming Thanksgiving, Christmas Noche Buena and New Year. 

3. Chikititas 

Another must-love Baliwag original are the Chikititas. 

These chicken pieces coated with special breading mix that can be pan-fried, deep fried, pressure fried, or air fried are also easy dish to prepare. Thanks to the frozen repackaged Chikititas. Baliwag conceptualized these repackages during the early stages of the pandemic when most people couldn’t eat out and found it more convenient and safer to eat at home.

4. Bottled side dishes

A perfect complement to meat roasts and other heavy meals are the Baliwag bottled side dishes such as Atsara (Php 55), Bagoong (Php 85), Chili Hot Bagoong (Php 85), and Kimchi (Php 85). These food accompaniments not only make meals extra flavorful, they have high-fiber content and are a good source of probiotics too.

5. Baliwag Grill & Restaurant and food court branches

If you miss eating out, you can visit Baliwag Grill & Restaurant or Baliwag food court branches to enjoy the bestselling lechon manok and a wider variety of Baliwag Greats starting off with Sisig, Kare-Kare, Pancit Bihon, Pork Barbecue, Chicken Barbecue, Bagnet, Chop Suey, and more. 

They also have two-ulam and three-ulam combo meals with viands such as dinuguan, kare-kare, ulo sa miso, and sinigang sa baboy, to name a few. 

They have other services as well, including delivery and catering for events and parties.

6. Baliwag Gift baskets 

Baliwag offers gift baskets that can be customized are also ready by November for holiday giveaways. For example, a big basket of 12 chicharon packs in mixed flavors costs P850.

7. Online delivery

Baliwag food combinations and catering are ready for delivery. 

For orders and inquiries, you can call 02-86542929 or send a message through their Facebook page at @baliwaglechonofficial. 

They are also serving their products via Foodpanda and Grab. 

8. Inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs

The story of how the founders of Baliwag Lechon Manok Dwight and Dolores Salcedo brought the small business to what it is now—an iconic Filipino household brand name that everyone loves and trusts—is uplifting. 

Baliwag Lechon Manok opened its first kiosk in 1985. Two decades later, the company opened its first restaurant Baliwag Grill & Restaurant in E. Rodriguez, Quezon City and its very first food court branch in SM Megamall. To date, the humble food chain has over 400 kiosk outlets, 40 food court branches, six restaurants across the Philippines, and is continually expanding due to demands.

Start-up entrepreneurs can take lessons and inspiration from the thirty-seven years of Baliwag Lechon Manok providing the crispiest, crunchiest meals, adapting to the changes in market trends and thriving through pandemic challenges.

Parting words

If you haven’t tried Baliwag Lechon Manok, it’s about time you do. It’s a household favorite for a reason and with that I can say: Dear Baliwag, congratulations for thriving after so many years, even as multiple competitors have cluttered the marketplace. And thank you for making it easier to enjoy my most favorite Filipino dishes at home despite the pandemic. Sincerely, Erica.

Commercial Painting Contractors: DIY or Hire Experts?

In case you are a property owner, maintaining properties is a must. 

You might be thinking that painting a house by yourself will save you a lot of dollars. But do you think it will give you the desired results?  Well, I think before deciding on DIY; you need to gauge every one of the benefits of hiring commercial painting contractors. 

1. Quality Work: 

Commercial painting contractors are known to offer the best professional services when it comes to painting. They have the modern tools and equipment to execute a flawless job. Since they are professional, they also have access to advanced technologies and updated paint qualities in the market. So, hiring them will ensure that your work will be done with the utmost professionalism. Depending on your room size, climate etc they will select paints that will suit your purpose. So, when you are thinking whether DIY is better or hiring professional contractors is better, then without a doubt hiring a professional will give you the desired results. Weatherproof painting solutions are in use now, and you can get the best benefit by applying three to four fresh coats and letting them dry, if you use the DIY method of painting. But the commercial painters have all advanced painting equipment that makes the work faster and more glitch-free. 

2. Ideal Completion: 

Dissimilar to DIY paintwork, employing commercial painting contractors will save you a great deal of time. You need to sign the contract only you become sure of the work completion within the given time. An artistic creation organization has a group to finish your composition project within a predetermined time. Thus, you can return to your typical life as quickly as time permits. The planning and turnout needed for moving furnishings, eliminating any divider style, purchasing the provisions, and the genuine canvas cycle can take a great deal of your time.

3. Set aside your Cash: 

You would surpass your spending while doing paintwork yourself. The commercial painting contractors, then again, get unique limits on paints and apparatuses from the nearby paint stores. Thus, they can introduce a moderate composition administration to you. Recruiting an expert artwork organization may appear to be a ton of forthright expense, yet that is lower than doing it without anyone else’s help. 

4. No Clean-up Required: 

There are a lot of clean-ups needed after the artistic creation task is finished. An expert organization saves you the difficulty of tidying up as they probably are aware of the legitimate method to discard the paint materials. The commercial painting contractors can remove the pressure of after-work clean-up, and you just need to venture back to your recently painted house with no issue. You can get variety from them, like 3D painting etc, but you must check that they are eco-friendly, and they clean up the entire commercial area after the work is done. 

5. Proficient Experience: 

Another valid justification to recruit commercial painting contractors are because they are specialists in the job. These contractors have experienced that date back years. If you want to paint your kitchen, then these experienced people will tell you to opt for oil paint instead of a normal one. Hence, with experience, you will get one of the best outcomes. 

Parting Words

Painting requires much more than paintbrushes. To have the option to paint a house, you should be outfitted with wellbeing stuff, caulk, and fixing devices. Occasionally, for explicit assignments, you may even require painting utensils and splashing apparatuses. If you would prefer not to settle on the final products, you should select a commercial painting contractor since they will take care of business right, and make your commercial project stand out from the rest.

To combat against COVID19 pandemic, the provincial Government of Bataan has launched the Get-Pass App since October last year. The app is designed mainly for effective contact tracing, but it has other features tourists/ savvy online shoppers can use for faster digital transactions.

Made it to Las Casas! Thanks GETPASS!
I made it to Las Casas! Thanks to GET PASS APP!!!!!!

Before you travel to Bataan, you need to install the Get-Pass app and generate a QR Code. The app is available for both Android and iOS users and of course for non-smartphone users.

In this article, you’ll learn how you can download and use the app.

How to download and use the Get-Pass app:

Follow these steps to download and use the Get-Pass app.

Step 1: First of all, you have to install the Get-Pass app. Go to your app store and download GET-PASS.

Look at the icon on the photo below:

Step 2: After downloading the Get-Pass app on your device, select the ‘open’.

Step 3: Click on the ‘Register Now’ option.

Step 4: In this step, the Get-Pass app will ask for permission from you.

To proceed further, after reading all terms and conditions, you have to click on the ‘I Agree’ button.

Step 5: Then, you have to enter your email address.

Step 6: A link will be sent to your email for verification.

Step 7: Check your email and click the verification link.

You should be sent to a page that says you are verified. If you are not redirected to the app, log in to the app again using your username/ email/ Facebook/ whichever you used to register.

Step 8: Now, you can find the personal data tab.

You have to fill out the details.

Step 9: Next, you’ll need to upload 4 images as proof of identity.

These are: (1) front side of a valid government ID; (2) bak side of a valid government ID; (3) your selfie (4) proof of address (can be the side of your id that has your address – in my photo I used my postal code). You can use your driver’s license or UMID ID too. But remember, every time to upload, make sure you choose the correct type of ID because if not, you will have a problem generating a QR code.

For example, your photo is SSS but you clicked UMID ID under the type of ID. This will be rejected (will discuss further below what will happen)

Once you are done here, click the confirm button.

Step 10: Tap the pin icon on the upper righthand corner of the app.

Then tap travel authorization. You should see the Health Declaration (on next photo). Fill it out.

Step 11: Once you’re done, tap submit.

You should get your QR CODE!

If the page is just blank, it means you had mismatched info when you upload your IDs.

Go back to it and correct your uploads.

If you are a non-smartphone USER, fill this page instead.

Parting Words

That’s it! Print the code or just print screen on your mobile phone. Show this on checkpoint areas upon entry to Bataan. Remember to bring valid IDs (and certificate of employment if your travel is official, or travel itinerary/ booking confirmation if you are visiting for leisure)! Follow health and safety protocols while traveling too!

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions! HAPPY AND SAFE TRAVELS!
