From Classic to Loaded: This New Online Shawarma Shop Is Changing the Wrap Game

A freshly formed online food and drink delivery service on Facebook and TikTok, House of Pita (previously Crave & Bite) offers a fusion of Arabian-Mexican flavors with a Filipino twist.

The Middle East is the birthplace of shawarma, both chicken and beef. Thinly sliced meat and other fresh vegetable ingredients come together inside a delicious pita bread, and no one can match the authenticity of its original ingredients—spices, lemons, coriander, and a mixture of lovely hummus or tahini paste.

Now the Mexican DNA enters the picture and turns up the heat! The modest mission of this family-run business is to bring a Filipino twist to traditional ingredients by combining flavors from both cultures. One of House of Pita's newest, best-selling, trendiest food items in the city is the pork Shawarma, which the original intention was to make to illustrate that shawarma can be created with anything other than beef or chicken.

A deep respect for Muslim culture exists in the heart of the dish's owner and creator. The so-called Pork Shawarma, which isn't actually a Shawarma but does contain pork, was initially a divisive topic because they anticipated some people would criticize it. Luckily, the Dutch recipe for pork shawarma served as an inspiration for House of Pita. In other parts of the world, like Greece, both dishes use a combination of spices and pork.

Therefore, the owners are grateful to know that cultural diversity is an eye-opener in the world of culinary cuisine, demonstrating that innovation and merging cultures one-two-three is universally welcomed. This is especially true when it comes to the craft of pita bread, where the owners are innovative.

If you're in the mood for some tasty Shawarmas or any of House of Pita's other delicious salads, you've come to the right place!

Prosecutor to Farmer: Respond to Subpoena Now!

With the knowledge that farmers or the masses have no means to get good defense lawyers (except from the Public Attorney's Office or PAO whose officers hardly follow the examples of Attorney General Persida Acosta) fast, if they ever get one at all, Deputy Provincial Prosecutor James Gerald R. Florendo issued the subpoena below requiring respondent - a farmer from the rural barangays of Santo Domingo in Ilocos Sur, to respond to the accusation of cyber libel, the same day that the farmer received the subpoena delivered by the police in Wednesday, January 7, this tear The respondent was required to answer the allegations of the town's Municipal Agricultural Officer (MAO) Randy Jose Reburon who filed the case.

Built a Nation, Abandoned by It: The Silent Battle of the Jeepney Pioneer

Francisco Motors Corporation (FMC) is one of the country's pioneering jeepney builders. Over the years, FMC transitioned from refurbishing war-era jeeps to designing its iconic models, including its modern electric jeepney launched around 2018. FMC’s modern electric jeep costs around ₱985,000/unit— far cheaper than government-endorsed modern jeepneys priced between ₱1.3 and 3 million. 85% locally built (body, motor, chassis); batteries still imported, but for the first 1000 units only. These modern jeeps are designed with urban routes in mind, offering a 150 km range (approximately five trips) and utilizing 50 kWh batteries, which can be charged via the CCS2 standard. As add-on options, the package includes modern features: AC, CCTV, GPS, cashless fares, wheelchair ramps for PWDs, speed limiters, and emergency exits—while keeping the classic jeepney aesthetic. Although FMC produces affordable, culturally resonant units, several obstacles hinder its inclusion in the governmen...
