Bb. Pilipinas Universe Lia Ramos fails to bring home the crown
Unfortunately, Ms. Lia Andre Ramos didn’t even make it to the Top 20. Which is a shame because I think she was a good candidate. Anyhow, congratulations to Ms. Ramos for representing the country and for winning Miss Photogenic!

Would Davao be fashion forward if only the ladies get a makeover by Mimi? Of course not. Due to the persistent inquiries of the male companions of Pickled Pink shoppers, Mimi, and husband, Jun Tupas, expanded Pickled Pink and dedicated half of it to fashion for men. The expansion is name Peppered Blue. Peppered Blue caters the fashion needs of Davao’s stylish men. It offers casual and more formal clothes for men.

Make Davaoeños fashion forward… that’s the goal of budding designer and entrepreneur Mimi Tupas. Mimi is the brains behind Pickled Pink, one of the trendiest boutiques in the city. When I visited the boutique, I noticed two things.

Banana Leaf Asian Cafe
Although there’s no shortage of restaurants serving quality asian food in our beloved Davao City, the opening of the Banana Leaf Asian Cafe is a welcome development in the local food scene. Banana Leaf was one of my favorite restaurants in Metro Manila because of their delectable curry dishes which are so rich and flavorful. Each bite is followed by an explosion of flavors inside your mouth.

Promoting Davao City through Films and TV Shows
Countless Filipino movies have been shot abroad. Most recently, Star Cinema filmed in Milan and Dubai and used these places’ names as movie titles. GMA 7 has a show entitled I Luv New York. Cesar Montano made a movie set in Bohol. Productions companies and TV networks definitely have the means (financial and otherwise) to produce films and tv shows on locations outside Metro Manila. I think that this trend should be used by Davao City to our advantage.
There are countless picturesque locations within the city or nearby which production outfits can use for movies and tv shows. For one, we have both seaside and mountainside locations. Plus, these locations are very much accessible and near the urban center. There are also good amenities in these locations.
