Bring your own bottle and refill your favorite condiments at discounted prices

NutriAsia, the home of well-loved Pinoy brands like Datu Puti, UFC, GoldenFiesta and Locally, has been the partner of Filipino homes in levelling up their meal times for years.

As a brand committed to making Masarap Masaya moments for its consumers, it aims not just to bring joy to Filipino homes, but to assume responsibility on a much larger scale through timely efforts that will benefit the environment during these increasingly critical times.

Since 2014, NutriAsia has been taking part in the movement towards a zero-waste community through projects like Jumbohalang Tambalan and participation in DENR-EMB’s Refill Revolution.

This year, NutriAsia carries on with its vision of a more
environmentally sustainable world through a project called Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB), which encourages users to bring their own reusable bottles and refill their favorite condiments and products like Datu Puti Vinegar, Datu Puti Soy Sauce, UFC Banana Catsup, and Golden Fiesta Cooking Oil.

 This simple act is expected to raise awareness on responsible plastic use and help build a zero-waste community as a stepping stone to sustainability.

Through the support of the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation and The Mind Museum, shoppers can visit and experience the first BYOB refilling station located in Bonifacio Global City (BGC).

To participate, consumers have to bring their own clean and dry reusable bottles and have these refilled with their chosen products at discounted prices.

BYOB’s store is made from eco-bricks that use plastic discards as a component, and which come from the Arca South Eco Hub, a project of Arca South, Green Antz and Ayala Land Inc. The store will also serve as a drop-off point for plastic materials for repurposing. 

“NutriAsia has been a trusted partner of every Filipino home in making Masarap Masaya meals. And with BYOB, we hope to go beyond and create more Masarap Masaya moments by encouraging shoppers to help build a zero-waste community in their own ways. We are also happy to share that all proceeds from BYOB, along with the plastic materials donated, will be used to produce upcycled furnishings for our beneficiary, GAT Andres Bonifacio HighSchool,” said James Lim, NutriAsia’s Corporate Marketing and Communications Head.

BYOB, launched last July 30 and set to run until September 12, will be open Mondays through Sundays, 12 NN to 8PM, at The Mind Museum in BGC.

Salo: The Affordable Dining Destination at BGC

And then Salo came along. Salo only started operations in May, 2014 and we are still on soft opening, explains Joana Piñon one of the owners. She says they saw a gap in the range of establishments in Bonifacio Global City as the community did not have enough affordable places to go to for lunch and drinks.


And after-work drinking joints are not very easy on the pocket. “Salo means celebration or gathering. And that’s what we want the restaurant to represent. We want the market to think of us when they are planning their celebrations and gatherings. And being a Filipino word, Salo also represents the cuisine that we serve,” she added.

Salo (2)Salo (3) Salo (1)   But Salo is not just for special occasions. With its silog selection (tapsilog, tuyosilog, steaksilog, among others), and line up of filling ulam such as Crispy Lechon belly (prepared fresh, prior to each service time), Bistek Tagalog, and Gising-gising, it’s a place that you can dine in everyday!

We serve Filipino regional specialties. The easiest to order are the rice bowls. But we also have portions that are good for sharing. For those who have had too much to drink, we’ve got some dishes that are perfect for hangovers.

What’s great about Salo is that we are able to serve food quickly, so those who are in a rush need not wait long. The concept behind the restaurant is a place that people can go to everyday — with food that they won’t tire of and with price points that are reasonable.

A lot of those working in BGC are looking for affordable and good quality meals, especially during lunch and but BGC doesn’t offer enough options. So the market ends up eating fast food which is not so healthy.

Besides, their menus are limited. There are also very few affordable places to go to for those who want to unwind in the evening.

The bars in the area are mostly high end. At Salo, our drinks are a steal! Especially if you buy, by the bottle. “We wanted a place that people can go to on a daily basis — with food that they won’t tire of and with price points that are reasonable,” points out Joana. Their average check is only P150 per person.

Salo proudly encourages its guest to try their Sisig, Crispy Lechon Belly, Tapsilog, Tuyosilog, and Bistek Tagalog developed by Chef Benjo Tuason and Chef Justin David.

Benjo Tuason holds a degree in Hotel Restaurant and Institution Management from De La Salle University College of St Benilde. He also has a Diploma in Hospitality Management, specializing in Commercial Cookery from Box Hill TAFE Melbourne. His longest stint was as a sous chef in Beau Monde International Hotel in Doncaster,Victoria. Before coming to Manila, he was Chef de Partie and part of the opening team of The Botanical – South Yarra.

Aside from being at the helm of Salo’s kitchen, he is also the executive chef of Relik, URBN and the newly-opened Nest Modern Table and Bar.

Justin David went to Le Cordon Bleu, Ryde, Sydney, Australia for his Professional Culinary Management Diploma and to Ryde-TAFE, Sydney Australia for his Advanced Diploma V in Hospitality Management. He also has a Ceritficate IV in Training, Assesment and Education from TAFE, SWSi Australia. He worked in several establishments in Sydney, Ausralia; Cebu and Manila.

Those who only have short breaks and are always pressed for time need not worry, Salo can whip up meals in a flash. Clearly, chefs Benjo Tuason and Justin David have taken into consideration the needs of the work force in BGC.

And this includes their need to kick back and relax with some drinks after duty. At Salo, the drinks are really inexpensive. Local beers start at P60 and a bottle of Tequila retails for only P1,200.

They make throwing parties easy! Salo is also an awesome stopover as an after-party place because they have anti-hangover treats such as Batchoy, Goto and the double-patty plus egg Longaburger Extra.

Salo is located at The Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. It is open daily, from 11:00 am to 4:00 am. For delivery, call 212-1212.

SMDC's GRACE Residences Luxurious Amenities in the City of Taguig.

One of the most exciting projects of SMDC is the Grace Residences in Taguig, touted as SMDCs property boasting with the biggest open space ratio and sprawling gardens.

Any weekday spent in the cityscapes of Makati, Ortigas or Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is an adventure. Amid all the fast-paced movement, one can sense the collective pulse of human interaction and the steady bellowing of rushing vehicles. Going home the quickest way possible, whether to retire for the day or to freshen up for a night out, is a challenge because of rush-hour traffic.

Fortunately, there is a residential escape from this feverish pace that is easily accessible. SM Development Corporation’s (SMDC) Grace Residences offers a sanctuary where slowing down is embraced. The sprawling project is designed with a generous open space for tranquility and luxurious amenities that fit the demands of the modern urban professional.

Staying home at Grace Residences is a wonderful option for the city-weary. Its garden concept involves different areas that will benefit every resident, whether single or with family. Lush greens complement subtle swirling patterns reflected on its towers’ facades.

Grace Residences is SMDC’s first mid-rise property development in Taguig. It is near main thoroughfares like C5, EDSA and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). The thriving commercial and financial hub of Bonifacio Global City and the Central Business District of Makati are only minutes away. This proximity to business and commercial areas allows residents to make quick trips to modern facilities like shopping malls, boutique stores, sports halls, arts and culture hubs, and entertainment spots.

Grace Residences is one of the many projects under the SM brand, making it a major investment consideration. SM is acknowledged as a dominant figure in property development, mall operations, banking and finance, retail, hotels and conventions. As a property developer, the quality of SMDC’s projects is compared to that of 5-star hotel. And with a concept like a garden in the city, one can expect a gift of serenity waiting at home by the end of each frenzied day.
