Atayde, who is also running as as Congressman of the First District of Quezon City shared, “I am a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and I have so much love and respect for them,” says Arjo. “My parents raised me to treat everyone with equal kindness and inclusivity regardless of gender.

F or a food enthusiast and  frustrated chef myself, writing about food and cookbook is a real satisfaction. That's why when I was invited to attend the presscon of "PinakBest", I immediately said, of course!   PinakBest Cookbook of Sen Imee Marcos The said event was held yesterday, Dec 14, 4:00PM,  via Zoom due to the hectic schedule of the author. In fact, during the actual media launch, she admitted that she had to jump in to her senate meeting after the book launch. The author we are referring to is no other than, Senator Imee Marcos, who is so candid and friendly , as usual, during the Zoom launch.
