  Ormoc City - Consumers in the province of Leyte will now be assured of a steady supply of fresh and local pork after The Pork Shop opened their first branch in the city today.   The Pork Shop recently held the grand opening of their branch in Naval, Biliran last month.

They can’t afford it. Peddlr is a smart version of that device and it’s free. On top of that, it works offline. No need for data or internet connection,” he explained.    “Most of the businesses still use pen and paper in their businesses, which is not only time-consuming ...
