QC resto sells out sisig after spotlight on Netflix's ‘Somebody Feed Phil'
For the first time in 45 years, Trellis Restaurant in Quezon City has sold out its bestselling Kapampangan Sisig dish after it got featured on Netflix's Manila episode of 'Somebody Feed Phil.' On Facebook, Trellis shared the awesome news as it thanked its patrons and new supporters for the overwhelming support. 'Thank you all for your overwhelming support after our Netflix feature!' Trellis wrote. 'For the first time in 45 years, something we never thought possible, we have sold out our sisig,' it added, as it encouraged guests to try the other Filipino dishes on offer. Trellis is just one of a number of Philippine-based restaurants featured on the episode, including Toyo Eatery, Aling Sosing's Carinderia, Asador Alphonso, Chicks ni Otit, and Grace Park by the late Margarita Fores. In a press statement, Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco said the Philippine feature on 'Somebody Feed Phil' is a major boost for the country's push toward food, culture, and film tourism. 'From street eats to heirloom recipes, the episode captures the rich flavors and the even richer warmth of Filipino hospitality,' Frasco said. 'This feature also supports our efforts to elevate gastronomy tourism as a key strategy—inviting the world to experience the Philippines through the stories, heritage, and heart behind Filipino cuisine,' she added. The Department of Tourism has listed gastronomy and film tourism among its key priorities under the National Tourism Development Plan (NTDP) 2023–2028. The Manila episode is part of Season 8 of 'Somebody Feed Phil,' a popular food and travel show following 'Everybody Loves Raymond' creator Phil Rosenthal as he takes viewers on a food journey worldwide. It started streaming on Netflix last Friday. And in case the Manila episode of "Somebody Feed Phil" got you craving for sisig, Trellis is located at 40 Matalino St. corner Kalayaan Avenue, Quezon City. — Hermes Joy Tunac/LA, GMA Integrated News

Realtor Filipino Homes enters Middle East market
"Now that I am a licensed broker in Dubai, we are opening up legitimate, professional opportunities for cross-selling. Brokers in the Philippines can now market and sell Dubai properties in partnership with us," said Filipino Homes' Anthony Leuterio. Filipino Homes video screenshot A Philippine real estate platform is expanding its footprint in the Middle East. In a press release issued Tuesday, Filipino Homes founder Anthony Leuterio announced that the platform may now legally and actively engage in property transactions in Dubai after he became a licensed property broker there. 'This is a milestone for Filipino Homes,' Leuterio said. 'Now that I am a licensed broker in Dubai, we are opening up legitimate, professional opportunities for cross-selling. Brokers in the Philippines can now market and sell Dubai properties in partnership with us.' Leuterio said brokers in Dubai can partner directly with Filipino Homes to co-manage property listings, which will later create new channels for collaboration between real estate professionals in the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates. ''A lot of foreigners and Filipinos want to invest in Dubai but don't know brokers who are licensed there. Now, through FHI Global Properties, they have a trusted, Filipino-owned agency they can rely on,'' he said. According to Leuterio, the expansion will enable Philippine-based brokers to take part in international transactions, helping them broaden their clientele and income potential. It will also provide new career opportunities for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who are based in Dubai, allowing them to become part-time brokers or full-fledged real estate professionals. 'We can now collaborate with developers in both countries, leveraging our globally competitive systems and platforms. Filipino Homes is ready to facilitate business both ways—selling Dubai properties in the Philippines and Philippine properties to Dubai-based investors,'' he said. Meanwhile, Leuterio earlier announced that his Cebu-based Filipino Homes was organizing the Asian Real Estate Summit (ARES) 2025, which will take place on July 1 and 2, 2025, in Bangkok, Thailand. Leuterio said he is expecting participation to grow, with more than 30 top developers and 1,000 real estate professionals anticipated to attend. — Anna Felicia Bajo/BM, GMA Integrated News
