CALCMENU - Making the business profitable with the right culinary solution.

      We are truly saddened with the unprecedented disaster in the Philippines brought by super typhoon Haiyan, causing damage, dislocation of families, broken lives and deaths. In light of this recent tragedy, EGS CALCMENU has coordinated with ... the local government institution, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), to partake in a social activity dedicated to the calamity victims. Last Sunday, November 17, 2013, our staff visited Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City to help packing relief goods and other donations for the survivors in the hard hit provinces such as Tacloban, Leyte, Samar, etc. Filipinos are always known for being patient and resilient amidst the pain and grief over such fearsome calamities, and this devastation has proven the first statement true. With the help of their fellow countrymen and with global assistance, they will surely be able to stand up, recover and rebuild their lives.
