Exciting Nagaraya Sweet Pretzels

Nagaraya had been synonymous to peanut crackers which were enjoyed by several generations and even millennials could hardly resists.

Nagaraya garlic flavored coated peanuts

Kabaya Pretzels (Sweet-Mini Pretzels) were offered way back in 1967 and have been enjoyed by several generations.

I have compared with one with those in the market and this would definitely win hands down. The pretzels are thin and the dough is soft,  they are unlike the leading brand which had an after taste. The chocolate are not too sweet and popular among children and teenagers.

These are available at Unimart , Greenhills, San Juan, leading supermarkets and groceries nationwide.

” To reach 25 years of service is a tough road. Para tumagal sa company and ma-achive itong 25 years dapat meron tayong loyalty sa company sa sarili natin and disiplina sa trabaho, said 25 year Service Awardee, Ms. Isabel Barrete, Executive Assistant.

Hotel Sogo’s Tagline “So Clean… So Good”

Every brand has unique tagline. Hotel Sogo’s is so short and simple, you’ll not going to wonder why this hotel was named that way! Hotel Sogo is a budget accommodation but they do not want a budget kind of service given to their customers. They maintain a very well-kept environment that attracts positive vibes. Hotel Sogo’s motto which is “We Simply Do It Better” also stands out because of the idea that you don’t need much to perform much. Hotel Sogo follows a low-maintenance business model but the output is superb in quality!
