Mang Inasal Delivery Hotline

Are you hungry but you're too busy to get out of the office? Do you want to eat barbecued chicken without the hassle of cooking it? If your answer to these and similar questions is a resounding “YES” then I think that it is time for you to fetch your cellular phone or landline telephone and call Mang Inasal.

Mang Inasal is the leading restaurant when it comes to offering Filipino-styled barbecue. It is also very popular for its unlimited rice meals. Me and my beloved usually go to Mang Inasal if we want to eat plenty.


Here are some Mang Inasal meals that me and my beloved usually order:

Good thing that Mang Inasal already has a delivery service. You can have Mang Inasal anytime. Just give Mang Inasal a call in their hotline number:

Mang Inasal delivery hotline number


The Mang Inasal delivery hotline number is: 733-1111

I am not sure though if this hotline number is available for the whole Philippines or just in metro areas like Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao.

So, are you hungry now? Why don't you give Mang Inasal a call and enjoy their barbecued chicken. However, if you want Mang Inasal's unlimited rice meals you must go to one of their branches. Unli rice meals are not available in their delivery service.

PHIVOLCS Tsunami Alert Levels

Many people, especially those who are leaving near fault lines, are afraid of earthquakes. Such fear is understandable because the effects of earthquake is very great. Toppled houses, hundreds of dead people and destruction of many lives are just few of the many negative effects of earthquake.

Many people living along the Marikina Fault Line (West Valley Fault) are considering leaving their place and choose an area that is more safe. It is thought that it is safe to live far away from the fault line.

People living away from any fault line but living near the coast should not be complacent, however. Fault lines might be far away from their homes but the fact is that they are threatened by tsunami.

Tsunami is the wave created by earthquakes occuring under the sea. The destruction caused by tsunami is so great that a tsunami in Sendai, Japan (2011) killed hundreds of people.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is the lead government agecy when it comes to earthquakes and tsunami. PHIVOLCS created a map showing the areas in the Philippines that are threatened by tsunami. PHIVOLCS also had maps showing the location of fault lines.

Aside from these, PHIVOLCS also created Tsunami Alert Levels that can be used by coastal communities when deciding what to do when there is threat of tsunami.

Here are the PHIVOLCS Tsunami Alert Levels:

PHIVOLCS tsunami alert level 0

PHIVOLCS tsunami alert level 1

PHIVOLCS tsunami alert level 2

PHIVOLCS tsunami alert level 3

How to Make Palaspas

The Holy Week is getting near and I am sure that many Catholics are preparing for their yearly “panata”. Some of you will do the Visita Iglesia, which is the vow of visiting 7 churches during Maundy Thursday. Others will do the pasyon, which is the singing of the sorrowful suffering and death of our Lord. Few will do self flagellation and crucifixion on Good Friday.

However, before we reach the Holy Week we had to celebrate Palm Sunday or the Linggo ng Palaspas (in Filipino). On Palm Sunday, we commemorate the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem. People welcomed our Lord with great joy by throwing their cloaks and palm leaves as His carpet.

Palaspas, especially those with beautiful designs, are a little expensive. Fortunately, we have a small palm plant in front of our house. My mother just get some palm leaves and that's what we bring to the church.

What if you don't want a simple palaspas and you also don't want to buy the expensive ones? What you'll gonna do? The solution is to make your own palaspas.

Good thing that Tinay Bialaga made a tutorial video on how to make palaspas. What I like with her videos is that she features different designs of palaspas. These palaspas designs include heart design, whip lash design, cross design and zigzag design.

Watch her video here and learn how to make palaspas.
