CEBU CITY — Global dim sum giant Din Tai Fung has officially opened its doors in SM City Cebu, marking the celebrated brand’s first-ever branch in the Visayas. This highly anticipated launch coincides with Din Tai Fung’s 10th anniversary in the Philippines, a major milestone for its local operator, The Moment Group.

Best known for its iconic Pork Xiaolongbao — meticulously handcrafted with 18 delicate folds by expert shifus — Din Tai Fung brings its signature precision and culinary craftsmanship to Cebuano diners. The menu includes a variety of crowd-favorites, from Shrimp and Pork Wontons to Crispy Beef Strips and house-made noodles, all prepared with the same commitment to quality that earned the brand international acclaim.

The Cebu opening is part of The Moment Group’s continuing effort to bring its well-loved restaurant concepts closer to regional markets. “We’re thrilled to finally bring Din Tai Fung to Cebu. This city has such a strong food culture, and we’re honored to be a part of it,” the group said in a statement.

BREAKING: Manny Pacquiao, 46, Holds Mario Barrios to a Majority Draw

In a stunning display of heart and grit, Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao fought reigning WBC World Welterweight Champion Mario Barrios to a majority draw, narrowly missing what could have been his 13th major world title.

Scorecards:
115-113 Barrios
114-114
114-114

Pacquiao looked sharp and competitive throughout the fight, even edging the early rounds. However, Barrios held strong late, doing just enough to retain his WBC title.

The fighting pride of the Philippines once again proved that legends never fade—only grow more timeless.

Sugbo Congressman Denies Involvement in Missing Sabungeros Case

CEBU — Ako Bisaya Partylist Representative Sonny Lagon has denied any involvement in the controversial disappearance of several gamefowl enthusiasts, following reports linking him to a meeting of the so-called “Group A” with Atong Ang.

Lagon also clarified that he holds a PAGCOR license to operate gaming-related activities, including internet-based betting and recreational sports, and that all his operations are legal and compliant with government regulations.

“I have always conducted my business legally and with integrity,” Lagon said, addressing speculation surrounding his name in relation to the ongoing investigation.

Atong Ang Files Charges vs. Accuser in Missing Sabungeros Case

Businessman Atong Ang has filed a formal complaint against Julie “Dondon” Patidongan, also known as Totoy, and one other individual, accusing them of attempting to extort ₱300 million from him.

Patidongan, one of the suspects in the high-profile missing sabungeros case, had previously named Ang as a supposed mastermind—an allegation Ang strongly denies.

Ang, accompanied by his legal counsel Atty. Lorna Patajo-Kapunan, submitted the complaint before the Mandaluyong City Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday.

The charges filed include:

* Conspiracy to commit attempted robbery with violence or intimidation
* Grave threats
* Grave coercion
* Slander
* Incriminating an innocent person

Atty. Patajo-Kapunan reiterated that the accusations linking Ang to the disappearance of the sabungeros are baseless and unfounded.
