I need a bigger altar to accomodate the food Find out what water I will give them – only the best
Twins scootering in Singapore ?? What a great idea to have a scooter to get around. You can just leave it anywhere and no one will steal it. Even if the twins – James @james_de_jesus and John don’t see each other everyday – they are in touch every single day maybe 100 times ??a day on the phone. They consult with each other for everything. They know everything about each other and are super duper close ?? How nice ???? #h2htwinscouple#h2hpeople
When I heard about the sad news about Dudo, I have been very shocked and sad and thinking a lot about him. And today I receive this email which I know is a virus but I do believe in signs and so happy he is saying hi to me ??He was a guy that I knew from Polo and even if we are not close friends, he always made me feel we were good friends because he is always so cheerful and warm. Dudo was and will continue to be a permanent fixture in Polo Club and in the ??s of many whose lives he has touched. The last photo i took of him last year with his beautiful family – his wife Vivien and daughter Lucia ?? #h2htribut
What is true generosity? I have seen it live both from my Dad and Mom. They know many important people from high up there but they know more people who they meet wherever they go because they treat them as VIPs. They always have a gift from Starbucks @starbucksph or pasalubong from the Philippines.
But the ultimate is my dad. All the staff know Mr. Lopez – he has his signature weapon – his wallet His tip yesterday to a Filipina staff ( in Singapore) was bigger than the price of his pasta Many of the most successful and famous people in the world are either a King, a Pope, a President of a country, A genius who invented some gadget or a rich person who made it to the Forbes list of Billionaires. My dad is successful and famous and he did not have to be any of those. You can go to a place that he has been to and they will know “Mr. Lopez” from the janitor to the General Manager. The staff recognise Mr. Lopez from maybe another place where they experienced him or just remember him as a client. That is because he treats them with utmost respect and not to mention….tips them very well. He always tells me that we should not scrimp on tips because that is their means of livelihood. “Kawawa naman.” Aside from tipping very well, he always takes time out to talk to them. He just always makes an impression with every person he meets. A video which reminds me of him.
Last April 11, we lost a friend, Sandie Castro Poblador
I met her because she was in the Wharton Penn Club Board together with my husband. She was very active and effective in her position. At the same time I knew her to be a very good real estate broker. Manoling and her were also common friends with our good friends Suharto and Rina. And one thing we always talked about was how she raised her children and made sure they got the best education. I would always read about the accomplishments of her children and Rina would tell me how Sandie would monitor all her children from wherever in the world they were studying. Rina herself said it so well – “I think They are her greatest achievement, they all turned out so well.” We are shocked at how sudden Sandie left us but happy that we knew she lived her life to the fullest, she touched many lives, she was very active in society and most of all she did the best for her children and ofcourse took care of her husband Manoling. We are blessed to have known such a wonderful lady 🙂 #h2htribute#h2heducation

Since being founded in 2012, The Moment Group (TMG) has produced some of the most prominent restaurant brands in Manila. It began as a team of three hungry dreamers, led by founders Eli Antonino, Abba Napa, and Jon Syjuco. “Operating in the first year revolved around having the mindset of us working on a ‘school project,’” Napa shares. “The role we played revolved very much around being, primarily, a dreamer, and a cheerleader, and an inspiration to the team.”
This trio then grew to nearly a thousand makers of moments. “The reality of having to put in place structure and professionalism without losing touch of entrepreneurialism, and the ability to dream big and turn on a dime, has been the most challenging aspect of growth that we now have to balance on a daily basis,” Napa says of the right work balance.
Throughout the challenges TMG has faced, they’ve been greatly rewarded with many milestones. This month, they celebrate one of their biggest achievements yet—five years of creating moments through so many different dining experiences.
The TMG Purpose
The commitment put into TMG’s research and development that can be seen and tasted, in each dish churned out in every single shop under TMG’s 10 brands. Alongside the constant kitchen development, thorough branding and passionate service have attracted a strong following across various generations. Hand in hand, this collaboration has produced restaurant brands that have created demand as seen in crowds and the long lines stretched outside their doors.
When it comes down to it, The Moment Group has put much thought and hard work into creating experiences for every kind of diner, across all brands in their roster. This dedication to achieving the right mix of good food, service, and atmosphere, has earned TMG quite a following—which, in turn, has made way for opening more spaces.
Brands that Make Moments Happen
The Moment Group offers a diversity of cuisines as seen in their various brands:
8Cuts is an authentic burger joint, and was the first of its kind to offer hand crafted burgers with the full service experience.
Manam is the definitive experience of Filipino cuisine that is at once current and timeless, offering classic and reinvented local dishes, including the “#1 Best Sisig in Manila.”
Ooma is a bold new take on casual Japanese fare, through playful and creative dishes, paired with a range of beers and sakes.
Mecha Uma is the city’s most dynamic chef’s table, in collaboration with young and talented chef Bruce Ricketts, which highlights global cuisine with Japanese inflections, and champions special ingredients.
Bank Bar, listed by CNN as one of the “7 Most Intriguing Speakeasies in the World,” is a top-shelf drinking den that serves the most extensive range of liquors, spirits, and cocktails in the city.
The Mess Hall is a perpetual pop-up of The Moment Group’s establishments and dish concepts, served up in the in-house canteen of the TMG headquarters.
Phat Pho Manila, a partnership with Cebu’s Abaca Group, is an upbeat and casual noodle bar that dishes out a variety of phos, alongside a delicious array of modernized Vietnamese street food.
Linguini Fini Manila, a partnership with Hong Kong’s Homegrown Foods, is an Italian restaurant rooted in New York culture, where the pasta and pizza are 100% homemade.
Din Tai Fung is an award-winning and half-century-old Taiwanese restaurant brand, known all over the world for its quality, consistency, and most importantly, its world-famous xiaolongbao.
There are thoughtfully crafted burger stacks and sides at 8Cuts, classic and unconventional Filipino meals at Manam, unlikely Japanese dishes at Ooma, and creatively concocted cocktails at Bank Bar. The Moment Group is constantly driven to creating dining experiences in Manila unlike any other. “To be honest, we’ve never thought as far as five years until now that we’ve approached it,” Napa confesses, “But now that we are here, the dream is to make it to 50 and build Moment to become something that can be constantly creating value and adding value to our industry, our dining scene and even to our society.”
The Moment Group’s vision is to be where you want to eat—be it now, five years from this moment, and perhaps even five decades down the line.
Apart from food, we’ve got the launch of the Moment Five card!
It’s been a long time coming, but now it’s finally here! The Moment Five card is our way of giving our diners exclusive offers – with benefits that include discounts and freebies when used at participating TMG restaurants. The card is available for purchase at P1,000 and comes with an initial P500 voucher, and a 10% discount on every single-receipt purchase with a minimum of P500.
Love this guy Sunday Alcaraz who is responsible for all the beautiful set ups and displays. Ever since I worked in Rustan’s ( 26 yrs ago) Sunday was already there in VMD ( Visual Mdsg Dept) as Asst Visual Merchandiser for Interiors. Sunday was with Rustan’s dept store for 7 years but had to leave to take care of his mom when his dad died. Then after 3 years my aunts hunted him down and got him back for SSI and now has been there for 16 years and still going! Yet Sunday looks the same and doesn’t look a day younger 🙂 Naks 😉 Love all our loyal people! #H2HPeople#H2HTribute
