                    [Summary] => A fortnight ago we visited Batangas twice. The trips, not hurried this  time, provided us with enough research material for this lengthier column.  The first visit gave us the opportunity to look at what was reported as a dirty wet market, located on E. Mayo and Torres Streets, both one-way streets. Signs in Filipino saying ‘Patungong Palengke’ (To  Market) lead you to it and you can enter either through the front or the back. Parking is not much of a problem, although jeeps and tricycles still seem to be the kings of the roads. This is a very busy  area.

                    [Summary] => My cellular phone registered an unknown number, and the caller identified herself as Mila Magsaysay-Valenzuela. She was inviting me to join the group being hosted by the popular Filipino brand Mama Sita to the Parada ng mga Lechon in Balayan, Batangas. Having met the gracious Mrs. Valenzuela at the Peninsula five years ago, when my youngest brother won his first Palanca Award, there was no wavering on my part. It took about a minute for me to decide to drop everything and agree to go to Balayan with the group.

"We are creating a new approach to the hotel business so that we can compete globally and still keep the Filipino touch of warmth and impeccable service," said Ricky Gutierrez,  the concurrent chief executive officer of the Chateau 1771 Group and of Hotel Concepts, Inc., the owner and developer of Hotel Ponte Fino. 


Although patterned after European boutique hotels, Hotel Ponte Fino is  owned and operated entirely by  Filipinos.
