FAST food sushi is predictable. Not at Sushi Rolls CDO where each piece is crafted with only the purest ingredients. That’s why barely in its infancy, Sushi Rolls CDO is already patronized by Kagay-anons and even residents from neighboring areas.
Sushi Rolls CDO has four flavors.
Double mango is a taste of sweet mango in Japanese rice with roasted sesame.
Spicy hosomaki is a Japanese rice wrap in roasted seaweed sheets topped with sweet and spicy cheese sauce.
Spicy crab cheese is chewy cheesy in Japanese rice topped with sesame seeds drizzled with spicy cheese sauce.
Or for a very minimal amount of P200, you can have a combination of any of these in six slices.
But wait there’s more.

In the ever-changing world of social media, a new company has emerged to challenge the status quo.
Lori Boco is a remarkable person who has not only become the first Purple Diamond in US and Asia in Ushare but has also been named as one of its Board members.
To understand Lori’s achievements, we need to delve into the world of DTSOCIALIZE, the holding company, and Ushare, the marketing company. These enterprises promise to change everything about how social media works and some special features that will make them different.
Firstly, they boast MAIA, their very own artificial intelligence assistant. It is similar to Google’s voiceactivated virtual assistant, but it is more like an interactive friend, helping users on their way through the site.
UupPro is another messaging service comparable to WhatsApp or other popular messengers that millions use every day. This allows people to interact with each other in a safe environment by sending messages and sharing stories among friends and family members.
There’s Umetaworld, a kind of Facebook’s virtual world. Users can create themselves, or rather their avatars, virtually traveling across the web space by making friends and interacting from behind their screens.
What makes this revolutionizing platform even more interesting is that it’s absolutely free! Yes, you heard me right – offering cutting-edge social media services practically for nothing compared to giants in this industry.
DTSOCIALIZE and Ushare have set out some lofty objectives. They aim to become one of the top global market players in Big Data alongside Facebook, WhatsApp, or Google but with greater emphasis on personal data protection.
This international project started in Italy but made London as their headquarters stretches towards the Philippines now. On April 9th, 2023 they made an acquisition of Ushare business on the Philippine Islands thus marking another important stage in their journey.
And what makes this achievement even more enormous is the number of users that they managed to gather together during relatively short time – over a million users already! That speaks volumes about its attractiveness across various audiences.
So, why should you give DTSOCIALIZE and Ushare a try? The first thing is that it’s free. In the world where many premium services are accompanied by high prices, this platform is rather a breath of fresh air as it opens access to advanced features of social media to everyone.
Furthermore, they have a mission on privacy. In the age when concerns over data security and user privacy are increasing, DTSOCIALIZE and Ushare want to be different. You can therefore enjoy an awesome social media experience without jeopardizing your own personal details. (JME/MDN/OB)

Embarking on a transformative journey, I have made it my advocacy to share the joy of rugby and its five core values especially with children.
Understanding the profound impact that sports can have on fostering confidence and empowerment, I saw Rugby as a means to break down barriers and instill a sense of resilience in marginalized communities.
With a steadfast commitment to uplifting the spirits of the youth, I set out to introduce the sport to the young girls of Butig, Lanao del Sur, with the hope of empowering them to discover their potential and overcome societal limitations.
Butig Sunflowers Rugby Club is born.
I drew inspiration from my experiences after the Marawi siege in 2017, when I shared the sport of Rugby with displaced children of Barangay Bito Buadi Itowa evacuation center in Marawi City.
Witnessing the transformative power of sports that brought smiles to the faces of those kids who were affected by the armed conflict, I was driven to replicate this impact in Butig. Just as I had done in Marawi, I approached this mission in Butig with determination using the power of sports to transcend across cultures, traditions, and religion.
Not only did I teach the girls of Butig a new sport but also impart invaluable life lessons encapsulated in the sport’s core values of integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline, and respect.
As the young girls learned about Rugby and its values, albeit a foreign sport in their little world, they genuinely enjoyed the short learning and playing session. Each pass of the ball while running around laughing exuded true happiness among the girls which brought my vision of empowering the youth and fostering unity become a reality.
Though I have only spent a short time sharing Rugby with the kids of Butig, I am proud to declare, “Mission Accomplished”.
I hope that I have left an indelible mark in their young lives that will inspire them to try new things, embrace new learnings, and empower themselves to be happy as they reach for their dreams.

The world evolves rapidly, and BukSU must remain at the forefront,” said University President Dr. Joy M. Mirasol.
