Kat started her blog in 2013, 3 years after she was diagnosed with Lupus and made a slow recovery. After her diagnosis, she realized how precious life is and began to document her many adventures with food, lifestyle, and travel and shared it with the rest of the world. The Hungry Kat is a food and lifestyle blog where she can share her huge appetite for life.
She shares that “being a Lupus Warrior, I appreciate every single moment of happiness and believe that I can inspire others to face their struggles as well.”

After 7 years of being in the industry, Jeng says that it all began with an online journal that spiraled into a website. What was once a simple way for him to remember all the places and restaurants he’s visited became a platform for others to view his food adventures — both inside and outside of the country.
And, he’d like people to know: “I’m friendly and easy go lucky. If you invite me to go out, I might just take you up on the offer. If you have questions about the places I’ve been to, I will answer them to the best of my abilities.”

(@thefoodiestation and @iamreesy)
What initially began as a way to get free food or extra servings in restaurants has snowballed into a blog that promotes Philippine cuisine and supports local/SME business owners. After 3 years, The Foodie Station has become all about enticing people (not just Filipinos) to make them try, like and crave Filipino food, home-cooked meals, and Pinoy street food. They love to eat and are always on the lookout for new gastronomic adventures. It’s their goal to make you crave and salivate over their feed. You are warned!
The Foodie Station has actually already guested in Monster Rx. 93.1’s lifestyle show, Heard on Thursdays, GMA 7’s Lifestyle show, Poptalk and even in Indonesia’s Lifestyle show, Hijab Traveling – Trans7. For collaborations, please email thefoodiestation2012@gmail.com and reeserayos@gmail.com.

Having been blogging since 2010, Richie considers himself an Official Food Blogger Tito. He started his blog as a tandem with his wife, who brought her skills with a camera to the table while Richie brought his appetite. Nowadays, The Pickiest Eater’s presence is mostly concentrated on YouTube but focuses on what it always has: food, family, and travel adventures. Of course, Richie’s goal is still to “to inject some humor into his stories, because making people laugh is part of who he is.”
With a mentor like Director Erik Matti (who also happens to be a huge foodie!), it’s no wonder that The Pickiest Eater is a must-watch channel. Of course, Richie’s background in product and post-production doesn’t hurt either. And being able to guest on the show of his idol, Adam Richman, no doubt served as heavy inspiration.
