Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain tells ABS-CBN's Yong Chavez, at the recent Creative Arts Emmy's, the reason why he loves sisig.

"I like sisig very, very much. That's perfect beer-drinking food. Love it!" Bourdain said.

It was in 2009 that Bourdain tasted his favorite Filipino dish during his visit to the Philippines for the show "No Reservations."

He also had a satisfying experience with Jollibee's halo-halo at the Philippine fast food giant's Los Angeles branch on his show, "Parts Unknown."

"Good stuff," said Bourdain who recently won his second consecutive Creative Arts Emmy's award for "Parts Unknown."

All 72 Jollibee stores in Metro Manila and surrounding areas that have close since last week will return to normal operation starting Sunday, August 17, 2014.

Reports from various news sources state that, although some of the Jollibee outlets will still operate on a limited menu, the company assures the public of the 100% availability of the three bestselling and most popular items which are Chickenjoy, Yumburger and Jolly Spaghetti.

On August 8, Jollibee apologized to the public as its 72 stores in Metro Manila and nearby provinces temporarily closed because of the popular menu's unavailability and delay of supply deliveries cause by the company's IT system upgrade.

According to the reports, Jollibee is implementing contingency measures to improve its product deliveries from local commissary to the affected stores.

Our country is brimming with all kinds of natural resources. Our lands provide rice, fruit, vegetables, and crops that can provide for Filipino families. Agriculture is the primary source of income for two out of three underprivileged families who live in these areas. Despite the resources at hand, these families are unable to make a sustainable living from their produce. The Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF), the corporate social responsibility arm of the Jollibee Food Corporation (JFC), is changing this reality through its Farmer Entrepreneurship Program (FEP). The FEP facilitates JFC’s sourcing of ingredients such as onions, tomatoes, bell peppers, calamansi, and chili peppers from smallholder farms in Ilocos Sur, Nueva Ecija, Quezon, and Pangasinan...
