Passion is a Cantonese fine dining Restaurant located at the second floor of Maxim Hotel, Resorts World Manila. It is situated near the airport (NAIA), in New Port Manila, Pasay. I am not fond of Chinese food but since we do not want to dine in any busy restaurants available in New Port Mall, we decided to go to Maxim Hotel and found a fine dining restaurant. Initially, we planned to try Impression Restaurant. It is the best fine dining restaurant in 2012. However, we then preferred to reserve that experience for the next special occasion. 

All you can eat Dimsum at P750 is available from 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM

Daily Operating hours:
Lunch 11:00 am – 2:30 pm
Dinner 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm

We arrived at the Passion at 5:35 PM and so we were assisted to the waiting area outside of the restaurant. There is a wide area with seats and Resorts World Magazine available. We were given a Menu in advance so we were able to choose our orders.
Waiting Area
Passion Restaurant Wide entrance

There was a kiddie party In one of the VIP Room when we went there that’s why we saw Mickey and Mini at the entrance.

Bold chicken / duck hanged in the kitchen visible in a wide glass outside the resto.
 

They served us complimentary nuts and tea.
We ordered Chef’s recommended Passion Vegetable Hot Salad (P 288)

We initially ordered Roasted Crispy Duck in Plum Sauce for our main course, however, ducks were not available for almost a month. And so, we changed it to Malaysian Style Hainan’s Chicken (P 488)
Hainan’s Rice (P100)
Almond Jelly with Mix Fruits for desert (P 208) (No picture)

New Port Sunset Shake (P 180)
 

Good thing we didn’t order much because we were too full already and we were not able to eat them all. There are more Chinese food choices aside from these. Shanghai dumplings, abalone, bird’s nest and many more. Passion has 400 seating capacity perfect for any big event. They also have seven VIP rooms for small group, family or friends get-together.
Service
Passion staffs are very accommodating. They have a fast serving time upon guest's arrival. They see to it that there is an assigned person that will look over to every customer's table.
Prices are subject to additional service charge.
Having a Resorts World membership card entitled us with a 10% discount on our bill J.
For inquiries/reservations, you can call them up at (+632) 908 8875.

Before we started eating, we had fun garnishing our own plate by using all the available food on our table.

Here is mine.

And this is his 
HAPPY EATING!!!

Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm is under the Bureau  of Corection, Department of Justice. Iwahig Prison is the subject of an award winning documentary film “out of Bonds” way back 2005 by a French Director Alexandre Lebergne.
Iwahig is an open air penal colony with 38,000 hectars.  Prisoners  of Iwahig are those long term prisoners who passed the probationary period. They were allowed to become fishermen, farmers and wardens. They are self-managed and self-supporting. They organized their community and find their living inside Iwahig Penal Farm.

I was amazed with how life of second chance would be more peaceful and free for the prisoners of Iwahig Penal Farm where discipline, integrity and freedom are smoothly implemented.


"Biangguan man ay paraiso rin sa patakarang maka Diyos at makatao"

Iwahig Penal Farm is a clear picture of a sound rural community. Imagine how disciplined people here are. We asked Bro. James how many percentage of prisoners are escaping from Iwahig and he said "very rare". Well, if we'll come to think of it, if I were a prisoner of Iwahig and no one is waiting for me outside the penal , I would rather stay in this peaceful community.
Getting inside the community will take you to a bumpy and dusty road. There is no entrance fee to be paid here. The only thing is that, you will need to either commute or rent a van or tricycle going here which I already mentioned in my previous post.

Upon arriving in Recreation Hall, some of "kosa" (term use to refer to co-inmate) fetched us from the van and guided us going up to the recreation hall with umbrella. They are very accommodating and  friendly.
Here is the front view of Iwahig recreation Hall. The structure is very hispanic.
If Cebu have the youtube celebrity dancing inmates, Iwahig have it too! These three gentlemen rendered a dance number while we are buying souvenirs! 

There are handcrafted souvenirs that you can buy here. They were personally created by the inmates.

Most of these are carved items! I bought this coin purse made from coconut shell painted with embossed blue flower and faded gold plated bracelet with heart shaped padlock.
There are key chains too! The legendary pasalubong for everyone! Haha!
So cool! These great creations are the symbol of the inmate's creativity, hardwork, productivity and a proof that every wrong decision or act in the past can be corrected. Chances are for those people who repented and who faced the consequences of their wrong deeds. Life is too short, do not wait to regret because we can make it right today.
