Slice of Heaven: Angel’s Pizza Lands in Pagadian City


COURTESY: MAYOR SAMMY CO

Hey there, fellow Pagadianons! Grab a slice, kick back, and let’s chat about the buzz that’s got our city tingling with excitement. You guessed it right—Figaro Food Group’s Angel's Pizza is rolling into town, and boy, are we in for a treat! This isn’t just any new pizzeria; it’s the very first Angel's Pizza in Region 9. Talk about making history, right here in our beloved Pagadian City! Let's dive into what this means for us and why we should be ready to welcome them with open arms and hungry bellies.



First things first, let’s talk location. Angel's Pizza is setting up shop on Rizal Avenue, right beside Security Bank in Sta. Lucia District. It’s a prime spot that’s accessible and central—so whether you’re heading home from work, doing a bit of shopping, or just out for a leisurely stroll, a delicious pizza is never out of reach. And believe me, once that cheesy aroma starts wafting through the streets, you won’t be able to resist!

But this isn’t just about satisfying our pizza cravings. The arrival of Angel's Pizza also marks a significant investment in Pagadian City. With this new branch opening, we’re not just getting pizza; we’re getting jobs. This expansion by the Figaro Food Group is set to create more employment opportunities for locals, giving many Pagadianons a chance to work in a dynamic and growing industry. It’s a double win—economic growth and delicious food!



Now, let’s get into what this means for our city’s economy. More businesses mean more revenue for Pagadian, which directly contributes to additional funds for ongoing development projects. This could lead to improved infrastructure, better public services, and more community programs. It’s like getting an extra topping on your pizza without even asking!

And let’s not forget about the ripple effect. When Angel's Pizza opens its doors, it’s not just the direct employees who benefit. Other local businesses can also expect a boost. From suppliers and delivery services to local marketers and event planners, the opportunities are endless. It’s a beautiful cycle of growth and development that benefits everyone. Padayon pag-Asenso Pagadian!



Alright, enough about economics—let’s talk pizza! Angel's Pizza is known for its delectable range of flavors and unique offerings that cater to every palate. Whether you’re a fan of the classic Margherita, crave the spicy zing of a Pepperoni & Jalapeรฑo, or want to indulge in something out-of-the-box like their Creamy Spinach Dip Pizza, there’s something for everyone. And let’s not forget their signature Angel’s Pepperoni, which is sure to become a local favorite.

Imagine this: a cozy evening with friends, a box of steaming hot pizza from Angel's, and laughter echoing through the room. It’s not just food; it’s an experience. One that brings people together and creates memories. That’s the magic of pizza, and Angel's Pizza promises just that and more.



As we gear up to welcome Angel's Pizza, it’s also a time to celebrate our city’s growth and potential. The opening of this branch is a testament to Pagadian’s thriving community and its appeal to major business players like the Figaro Food Group. It’s a nod to our city’s potential and a promise of more exciting developments in the future.

So, Pagadianons, let’s get ready to embrace this new chapter. Whether you're a pizza enthusiast or a curious foodie, there’s much to look forward to. Let’s support this venture, enjoy the culinary delights it brings, and celebrate the positive changes it heralds for our city.

In conclusion, Angel's Pizza isn’t just about a new place to eat; it’s about community growth, economic development, and of course, some seriously good pizza. Here’s to new beginnings and the delicious journey ahead. Padayon pag-Asenso Pagadian!

Navigating the Maze of Pag-IBIG Foreclosed Properties: Tips and Tricks for Aspiring Homeowners


COURTESY: CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (PIA)

Let's face it, the idea of snagging a house at a bargain price is incredibly tempting. In Cagayan de Oro City, many dream of becoming homeowners through Pag-IBIG's foreclosure property sales. But before you dive headfirst into this venture, there's a lot you need to know. Pag-IBIG Northern Mindanao’s Asst. Department Manager, Merle Salde, has shared insights into some common hurdles that buyers face. One of the primary concerns is dealing with existing occupants who refuse to vacate their homes.

When buying a foreclosed property, it's crucial to understand that these sales are conducted on an "as-is, where-is" basis. This means that you buy the property in its current state, occupants and all. Pag-IBIG takes steps to inform the current residents about the sale and even gives them the first opportunity to purchase the property. However, not everyone takes this chance, leaving new buyers to handle the delicate task of eviction.



Buying an occupied property is a bit like playing a high-stakes game of poker. Before the bidding begins, Pag-IBIG ensures that bidders are aware of whether a property is occupied or not. Jocy Mar D. Dammay, Acting Area Head at Pag-IBIG Fund-Northern Mindanao, has explained that occupied properties come with higher risks but also offer greater discounts. It's a classic case of high risk, high reward.

For some, the discount is worth the potential hassle of dealing with occupants. But it's important to weigh these pros and cons carefully. Are you prepared to negotiate and potentially evict tenants? If not, it might be wise to stick to unoccupied properties, even if they come with a smaller discount.



So, what happens if you buy a property and find yourself in a standoff with the occupants? Pag-IBIG offers a lifeline through mediation. According to Salde, buyers can request a Pag-IBIG Fund representative to mediate at the barangay level if disputes arise. This assistance can be crucial in resolving conflicts and ensuring a smooth transition of ownership.

However, Salde emphasizes the importance of visiting the property and speaking with the occupants before making any payments. This proactive approach can prevent misunderstandings and set the tone for a more amicable resolution. Remember, clear communication is your best ally in navigating these tricky situations.


Beyond these challenges, Pag-IBIG Fund - Northern Mindanao is making strides in other areas. During the Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas, they proudly shared their achievements, including a 6.55 percent dividend rate on Pag-IBIG Savings in 2023. This impressive return is a testament to their dedication to providing value to their members.

Moreover, Pag-IBIG is encouraging members to "Top Up Your Savings." By contributing more than the mandatory P200 monthly, members can boost their savings and potentially benefit from higher dividends. This initiative is an excellent opportunity for members to grow their financial nest eggs and secure their future.



Buying a foreclosed property through Pag-IBIG in Cagayan de Oro City is not without its challenges, but with the right information and support, it can be a rewarding journey. Whether you're drawn by the allure of discounts or the potential for profit, understanding the process and leveraging Pag-IBIG's resources can help you navigate the maze with confidence. So, take the plunge, but do so with eyes wide open and a strategy in place. Happy house hunting!
