COCO MARTIN and JULIA MONTES The Perfect Match with REGASCO

A Perfect Match, words that describe the country's premier actor Coco Martin and actress Julia Montes. This is something that REGASCO.also believes in and yes, they are the face of Republic Gas Corporation. They are also signing with the company, together, as one. 

REGASCO President and CEO Arnel Ty says "We wish to welcome all of you here today. REGASCO has been in the industry for 28 years now, and we are now nationwide as we enter Mindanao this year. Our special guest, are proof that we are continuing to cater to household consumers, as partners in kitchens everywhere. We thank General Torre, Ms. Shirley Kuan, Mama Ogie Diaz and you for being here."

Also at the event are executives Anson Robin Ponce the Marketing Head and Ms. Lesley Yiu the managing director for REGASCO.

Coco says "This is the first time that we are signing something together so this is very special for me. I am excited for what's about to happen in the next few years with REGASCO. This is not just because they are helping us, but we go places and promote together. I can be with her even more. Sigabo by the way will be out on June 22, we have rested and recharged and I'm happy that it is better than Batang Quiapo and our other series. It will give happiness and inspiration. Julia has been studying culinary thrice, and I feel that. I'm an HRM graduate and I also cook for her. She requests Pares, Cochinilio, which took me a lot of time to perfect. Cooking takes time, but if you include a lot of love, bonding, it's quality time spent together. We are very private when it comes to our relationship, but we get respect out of that. When our relationship lasts this long, the more love we have. She's always the person beside me, I get a lot of courage when I'm with her. We will be doing a film very soon, and the Lord blessed us with REGASCO and a lot of brands that trusts us still. Respect is part of our culture, we grew up with our grand parents and help each other, support each other and I hope people get inspired with that."

Julia says "To be completely honest, REGASCO has always been supporting us in our businesses and our family. I want to reinvent Kare Kare because that's Coco's favorite. A perfect match is like having God at the center of everything. I am blessed with him, I am blessed with Coco. There's no perfect relationship but ours is solid because of him."

From its humble beginnings in Malabon, to over 30 refilling stations, 4000 dealers nationwide, the one that makes sure the weight is correct, only REGASCO has that!

Coco and Julia will be going around the nation so you will also get to know who REGASCO is. They're making sure you hear it from them personally, and they send their thanks for making them a part of the family, while they are being treated like family. Congratulations Coco and Julia! 

INASAL REPUBLIC Opens West Avenue Branch On July 15th

 

Chicken Inasal by Inasal Republic - The meat is soft, evenly cooked, has a crispy skin outside. The garlic rice can be smothered by the good Chicken Oil set on the table. I had a separate dish with Soy Sauce and Sinamak, a spiced vinegar. They have master grillers prepare this for us!

If you're a frequent local traveler, you probably have landed somewhere in Negros Occidental and visited Bacolod City. Much of its charm lies in its people, on how they talk so "malambing" (so soft even when they're mad) and party hard during festivals. I too am from this region, so I'm no stranger to food coming from this place and when I heard Cong. Arjo Atayde, Direk Richard Somes, Gabby Atayde, Ivan Villamar and Mark San Diego were putting up a Chicken Inasal brand called INASAL REPUBLIC, I packed my bags and camped out to see it in Quezon City.

The owners of Inasal Republic can't wait for you to taste their Chicken Inasal

Congressman Arjo Atayde personally served us that afternoon, he was so nice!

Although for some of them, this isn't their first venture into the food business, the partnership blossomed over the last taping day of action film TOPAKK. Arjo was already full from the food served during dinner, but after a while, Chicken Inasal was served on the table and got everyone started raving about it. Direk Richard said Arjo shouldn't leave the table without tasting it, and so he did! 

The Chicken Inasal and other food served that day came from Direk Richard's family recipes, it was passed on from generations of Bacolodnons who loved to eat and cook. Here's a short video of the event, I also included some clips of the food and celebrities that came that afternoon!

Here's some of the food items that's going to be served at Inasal Republic, let me share a few that you'll surely enjoy!

Kansi Soup, comforting and fruity, not too sour which I like! (We were served half the serving because we will be having a lot of food that afternoon!)

Bangus Inasal - I liked how light and soft it was, the very savory sauce complemented it. It was nicely paired with Garlic Rice

Pusit Inasal, for those who love seafood, this would be a dream!

The desserts, Biko, Alupe (in Banana Leaf) and Maja Blanca. I love the Maja Blanca the most as it's so soft, sweet and a little salty on top because of the cheese. The Alupe was new for me, but reminds me of Pangasinan's Tupig, but was actually steamed. Go get them both!

If you're excited as I am about what's about to happen, it'll all go down on July 15th as they open up shop at 25 West Avenue in Quezon City. They also have other items on the menu like the Chicken Inasal Flakes (also in bottles) and Laing that people were loving that afternoon. You can also choose to mix them up with the Garlic Rice, it's as good as it looks in photos. I will probably have to line up that day just to get a taste of it again. Make sure you get ahead of me on July 8 and line up, see why even celebrities loved the Chicken Inasal from Inasal Republic!

There's going to be more branches of it nationwide, so make sure you follow their social channels by searching Inasal Republic on FB, IG and TikTok to get updates where they plan to put them up soon!
