Father walks from Pasig to Makati with dead baby in a box

Image
A grieving father was forced to walk from Pasig City to Makati City carrying his dead baby in a box as mass transportation was not available due to the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine. According to Makati East Rembo’s Facebook post, Rodel Canas traveled by foot from Rizal Medical Center in Pasig to Barangay East Rembo to give his 32-day-old son a proper burial. In a statement, the Rizal Medical Center said Canas brought his wife to the hospital last March 11 to give birth prematurely. The premature baby was confined before he passed away on April 13 due to respiratory distress syndrome caused by sepsis. “Lahat ng pangangailangan ng sanggol habang nasa NICU ay ibinigay ng Rizal Medical Center, upang maisalba ang buhay ng sanggol na ito, kahit na may malubhang congenital anomalies at guarded ang prognosis ng kalagayan niya,” the hospital said. Canas was billed P246,789 by the hospital to cover the confinement and delivery of his wife. According to the hospital, indigen...

Graduation rites postponed until lockdown ends, not cancelled: DepEd

Image
MANILA - Graduation rites will push through after the lockdown of half of the country's population to curb the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Education said Monday. Schools are disallowed to hold the rites during Luzon's enhanced community quarantine as it is a violation of mass gathering, DepEd spokesperson, Undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla said. "May provisions na dapat sundin—di pwede talaga ang mass gathering. Kung mer on lang makakagawa ng online graduation rites I think this is their choice, 'di natin puwedeng pigilan as long as 'di natin vina-violate ang home quarantine," she told ABS-CBN News. "I feel so sad kasi may mga batang outstanding, the teachers are also very considerate lalo na pag may speech o message they look forward to it." Sevilla also cited DepEd's memorandum order no. 42, in which schools, in consultation with the Parents-Teachers Association, may choose to reschedule or forego the holding of the rites.

Mexican Rice

Image
Are you craving that great Mexican rice from your favorite taco stand? Here it is. This is just like a good Mexican restaurant rice. Many recipes taste good... but the texture just isn't right. You know how it is... you have prepared scores of Mexican rice recipes but always have been disappointed. It may be delicious but kinda "gloopy and wet." Try this. Everything is pureed and cooked in. There are no chunks of anything... just dry fluffy rice with all the seasonings and just the tiniest hint of a tomato flavor. I will throw away all of my Mexican rice recipes- this is the one I have been looking for for years! I don't own a rice cooker but some people have had disappointing results using one. You will also need to adjust your cooking time if you want to use brown rice. I recommend following the cooking instructions as directed. Proceed at your own peril if you stray. Enjoy. INGREDIENTS Nutrition SERVINGS   8-10 UNITS   US 12 ounces tomatoes, very ripe and cored 1 m...

Perfect Pork Tenderloin

Image
My #1 way to cook a pork tenderloin or a boneless pork loin because it's ALWAYS moist and tender. It's easy and foolproof! If you like, marinate the roast and rub with any seasonings that please your palate! So many people have asked me how long to cook tenderloins if they have "more than one" to cook, I wanted to give a simple response. ANSWER: So long as the tenderloins are NOT touching each other, cook 3 or 4 individual tenderloins for the same amount of time as if you were cooking one. Remember, each tenderloin is cooking in its own separate space. EXAMPLE: If cooking three 1-pound tenderloins, cook them only 5-1/5 minutes TOTAL. This makes it a great entree recipe when having a dinner party for 8-12 people, or more. If you enjoy this pork recipe and cooking method, you might want to try my similar beef cooking method  INGREDIENTS Nutrition SERVINGS   4-5 UNITS   US 1 lb boneless pork tenderloin, AT ROOM TEMPERATURE (approximate) salt and pepper dry seasoning, of ...

Creamy Potato Salad

Have you ever posted a recipe and just love reading the reviews for it? This is my signature potato salad. Whenever there is a pot luck function at work, I am TOLD that I have to bring the potato salad. No one else is allowed to and I am never given a choice. Thank you everyone who ever tried this potato salad and for leaving such glowing reviews for it. You all have made me look so good. I personally can not stand eggs or raw onions, so I leave them out but I know most people don't think a potato salad is complete without them. Thanks again for so many wonderful reviews. (psssst....check out my  Creamy Macaroni Salad  as well. It shares the dressing with this recipe but tastes much much different because of the different ingredients) Please see  Homemade Fresh Bacon Bits  for bacon bit tips.
