What comes to mind when one thinks of the number 23? Is it Michael Jordan, the G.O.A.T. of basketball? Is it the age of real adulting for some, a point in one’s life where he realizes he’s a full-grown adult with all the responsibilities that come with being one?
Gerry’s Grill soft opening in February 1997
For Gerry’s Restaurant and Bar, more widely known as Gerry’s Grill, the number marks the years it has successfully catered to the discriminating palate of the Filipino people. 23 years ago, on February 14, 1997, the first Gerry’s Restaurant and Bar opened its doors on Tomas Morato, Quezon City. And the dining landscape has never been the same since. Gerry’s Grill pioneered the resto-bar concept that continues to appeal to the Gen-X, its original clients, as it does the Millennials of today. Many have followed suit but Gerry’s maintains its uniqueness for a good number of reasons.
Touted as among the few preferred go-to restaurant–bars in the metro, Gerry’s boasts of over a hundred stores thus deserving to be called the “sari-sari store” of resto-bars by virtue of its being found in every major dining and entertainment hub in Metro Manila. And in each branch, one is surely never short-changed.
Gerry’s has proven time and again to withstand food fads like the grill wars, i.e., shawarma, samgyupsal (Korean Grill), lechon manok/baboy and numerous experimental and fusion cuisines. This means that their Filipino-themed menu has become ingrained in the food psyche of Filipinos, a tradition no less. Their variety of dishes and beverages represents the whole Philippine cuisine. Its flavorful Sizzling Sisig, Beef Kare-Kare, and Inihaw na Pusit have been legendary food staples at every Filipino customer’s dining table. The rest of the menu caters to almost any craving.
The watering hole of choice
Even the beer gulping culture of the country has been shaped and influenced by Gerry’s Grill being a top-of-mind watering hole through the years. Its wide food selection is considered the holy grail of pulutans (hors d’oeuvres) that is perfect for inumans (benders).
a typical Friday night at Gerry’s Grill
Bert Santos, an engineer, waxed nostalgic when he said that he literally grew up with Gerry’s Grill as his tambayan (bar/beer joint) for unwinding during his college years. Today, Gerry’s is a favorite lunch place for his family after hearing Sunday mass. While Buddy Sanchez, a doctor, said Gerry’s holds a special place in his heart because this was where he bonded with his work buddies after a stressful day and where he eventually met his future wife, Sally.
Gerry’s Grill is international
Gerry’s has recently opened its branches in San Diego, California, and Houston, Texas, a good addition to its overseas chain which includes branches in Singapore, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
Avenida
Avenida, a modern Filipino restaurant and bar, inspired by the Avenida Rizal (Rizal Avenue) of the post-war era, is another Gerry’s Grill-owned restaurant that opened in San Mateo, California. With these developments, our overseas kababayans have every reason to celebrate Gerry’s 23 years of great food and great service.

They say it only takes 2 weeks to create a habit, so why not start off with the easiest resolution to keep: the habit of proper dental hygiene?
dietary acid scale for dental erosion
Building on the habit of good dental hygiene only takes a few minutes per day, but somehow, this doesn’t get the attention and commitment it deserves. To mindfully get into this habit, every household should begin by understanding our natural eating habits, as most of the food and drinks that we consume daily are generally either acidic or pigmented.
Think of oranges, coffee, pasta, ketchup, wine, and so on. The acid in food and drinks softens the tooth enamel or the outer layer of the tooth. Weakened tooth enamel may lead to dental erosion that makes our teeth prone to sensitivity. More so, the acid also promotes bacterial growth, which causes problems ranging from bleeding gums to gingivitis.
So, what can we do about it?
The latest innovation from Oral-B has a 2-in-1 oral care action that directly repairs and protects sore gums and weakened enamel. The NEW Oral-B Gum & Enamel Repair Toothpaste is clinically proven to protect gums and strengthen the enamel in 2 weeks. Oral-B’s Gum and Enamel Repair toothpaste has unique ActivRepair™ technology, clinically proven to neutralize bacteria on the gum line, and even keep it away afterward, too.
It also repairs the damage caused to your tooth enamel by everyday wear and tear and continues to protect it afterward. Not only that, but it also helps do all this in just two weeks. Unlike common fluoride toothpaste, Oral-B Gum and Enamel Repair is made with Stabilized Stannous Fluoride Complex.
Oral-B pioneered the introduction of Stannous Fluoride in its toothpaste in the 1950s, and with over decades of research, their technology has evolved to now deliver multiple dental care benefits, such as sensitivity repair, elimination of bad breath, cavity protection, enamel erosion protection, neutralization of plaque regrowth, and gum rejuvenation.
That’s because these days, just having long-lasting fresh breath isn’t enough. Your toothpaste must be hardworking enough to target the root causes of oral care problems, such as bacteria and acid erosion.
As it is difficult to prevent ourselves from eating food high in acidity, Oral-B delivers the oral protection that we need so our gums remain healthy and our teeth stay strong as we continue to enjoy our day-to-day grind.
Building on the habit of good dental hygiene
Dental experts recommend brushing your teeth three times a day or after every meal and visiting a professional for a dental cleaning at least twice a year. At home, the right way to brush your teeth and gums is for two minutes long in a soft and circular motion.
It’s also important to choose a toothbrush that can do more than just brushing. Unlike regular toothbrushes in the market, Oral-B’s toothbrushes are made with crisscross bristles that remove 90% more plaque even in hard-to-reach areas. With the rise in popularity of detoxifying properties of charcoal in the health and beauty industries, OralB has harnessed its power and learned to infuse it in their Charcoal White toothbrush to help whiten your teeth in just two weeks!
Oral-B Charcoal White
glide floss
Aside from brushing your teeth and gums, dental floss is also an essential dental care step to remove plaque from tight spaces between teeth and gums. This prevents both bacteria and plaque buildup from forming, which can potentially lead to cavities, sensitive teeth, and gum disease.
Oral-B Glide Floss is lightly coated with natural wax that makes it strong, smoothly gliding, and is perfect for people with sensitive gums. It is also made from a single filament, which means it never shreds, and leaves you with a cool and clean feeling afterward.
Remember, it only takes two weeks to build a habit. So, practice early and practice right and make sure to teach everyone in the family the value of having healthy teeth and gums!

Sterling Bank of Asia (SBA), one of the country’s leading thrift banks, signed a memorandum of agreement with My Shelter Foundation’s Isang Litrong Liwanag (A Liter of Light) — a global movement that provides sustainable solar bottle bulb to underprivileged communities nationwide.
The initiative falls under SBA’s Kind Heart Gives Campaign, an annual CSR activity that allows every employee an opportunity to share and give back to the community.
Ma. Dulce Edillor, SBA’s First Vice President and HR Group Head
“We’ve been looking for a partner who promotes renewable energy that extends it to the grassroots level,” said Ma. Dulce Edillor, SBA’s First Vice President and HR Group Head. “Isang Litrong Liwanag provides affordable, sustainable solar lights to people with limited or no access to electricity,” Edillor added.
Mr. Illac Diaz, founder of My Shelter Foundation’s Liter of Light
This year’s Kind Heart Gives tagged as “Give Light on Christmas Day” is divided into two phases, the first phase is where Sterling Bank volunteers built solar lamps through a workshop conducted by Liter of Light founder, Mr. Illac Diaz.
To welcome 2020, the second phase of the partnership will take place this January, where SBA employees will turn over the solar lamps to 120 families living in Angat Dam, Norzagaray Bulacan.
During the workshop, Diaz further stressed how the activity provides clean energy and how the technology is so simple and sustainable at the same time. He mentioned how companies, like Sterling Bank, play a big role in reaching a wider market through its CSR program.
“This type of endeavor certainly promotes among Sterling Bank employees how an ounce of their time can go a long way in helping the lives of the less privileged,” said Mr. Dan Guevarra, SBA’s Vice President and Center for Learning Head.
Meanwhile, SBA’s Vice President and Compensation and Benefits Head Arlene Siongco is delighted with the immediate sense of accomplishment in building the solar bottle. “It’s rewarding when you get to see the solar bottle light up and to know the fact that it will help brighten up someone’s home for the next five years,” Siongco added.
Isang Litrong Liwanag was founded in 2011. It has installed more than 350,000 bottle lights in more than 15 countries. It is recognized by international organizations such as the United Nations where their technology was adopted for use in some UNHCR camps. It is a proud recipient of the 2016 St. Andrew Prize for the Environment, the 2015 Zayed Future Energy Prize and the 2014 – 2015 winner of the World Habitat Award.
