In Greenhills, Hashi Pan-Asian serves food that's almost like a honeymoon of flavors
There are chapters in your family's love story that deserve more than buffet lines and dim lighting.
We were going to celebrate my grandparents' platinum wedding anniversary (yes, 72 years like a long-running K-drama plot) and my parents' sapphire one so we wanted a place that felt familiar with the kind of quiet charm that befits the steadiness of my loved ones' relationships.
Then I found out about Hashi Pan-Asian Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Greenhills Mall. A quick look at the menu shows majority of the dishes are Japanese-inspired, Hashi also offers Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese selections.
Don't get fooled by the wood and marble interiors that feel like an upscale dining area of a posh hotel. Each dish is quite affordable and offers bang for the buck. Hashi's aesthetic quietly beckons to families who prefer intimate celebrations to Gen Z professionals who bask in the quiet elegance that modern restaurants offer.
Owner Frederick 'Erick' Tuazon, a visionary who splits his time between Sweden and the Philippines, launched the flagship restaurant in Venice Grand Canal Mall in 2017. Its expansion into Greenhills, a dynamic food district, was a strategic move. 'We wanted each location to carry a thematic identity, ambiance and menu should work together. Greenhills gave us that opportunity,' Erick says.
A Culinary Vow Renewal
From the first plate served, our celebration being lunch and became a full-on culinary reception.
Moving forward intentionally
Erick isn't here for the flash. 'One to two branches per year,' he said of his expansion plans as 'I care about consistency.'
Just like any lasting marriage, he knows that longevity isn't about speed, it's about showing up with consistency, and this is how he treats his business. 'I don't want 30 or 40 locations where guests can't expect the same experience. I want our guests to return and find the exact same quality, flavor, and service they fell in love with,' he added.
So, whether you're celebrating decades of marriage or simply craving something soulful, drive to Greenhills and let Hashi Pan-Asian Restaurant remind you what coming home tastes like. — LA, GMA Integrated News

Trump and Xi will likely speak this week, White House says
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will likely speak this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday, days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions. Leavitt is the third top Trump aide to forecast an imminent call between the two leaders to iron out differences on last month's tariff agreement in Geneva, among larger trade issues. It was not immediately clear when the two leaders will speak. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that Trump and Xi would speak "very soon" to iron out trade issues including a dispute over critical minerals and China's restrictions on exports of certain minerals. Trump said on Friday he was sure that he would speak to Xi. China said in April that the two leaders had not had a conversation recently. On Saturday, the U.S. Trade Representative's office announced it would continue to exclude certain solar manufacturing equipment and other products from existing tariffs on Chinese goods until August 31, offering a three-month extension while talks with Beijing continue. Bessent led negotiations with China in Geneva last month that resulted in a temporary truce in the trade war between the world's two biggest economies, but progress since then has been slow, the U.S. Treasury chief told Fox News last week. The U.S.-China agreement to dial back triple-digit tariffs for 90 days prompted a massive relief rally in global stocks. But it did nothing to address the underlying reasons for Trump's tariffs on Chinese goods, mainly longstanding U.S. complaints about China's state-dominated, export-driven economic model, leaving those issues for future talks. A U.S. trade court on Wednesday ruled that Trump overstepped his authority in imposing the bulk of his tariffs on imports from China and other countries under an emergency powers act. But less than 24 hours later, a federal appeals court reinstated the tariffs, saying it was pausing the trade court ruling to consider the government's appeal. The appeals court ordered the plaintiffs to respond by June 5 and the administration to respond by June 9. — Reuters

US sanctions PH-based firm over $200-M virtual currency scam
LOS ANGELES, California — The United States has imposed sanctions on a Philippine-based company that provides critical computer infrastructure for alleged scams involving virtual currency. In separate advisories dated May 29, the United States' Department of State, Department of the Treasury, and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) flagged the activities of Funnull Technology Inc. Also sanctioned was its administrator, Chinese citizen Liu Lizhi, according to the State and Treasury Departments. "Fraudulent virtual currency investment scams cause serious financial harm to the American people. Today's targets are directly connected to over $200 million in losses reported by U.S. victims, with an average cost of over $150,000 per individual," the US State Department said in its advisory. It added that the US will continue to hold accountable those who use virtual currencies and online services to commit fraud, as well as cybercriminals who exploit the United States' financial system. Meanwhile, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said Funnull's alleged acts of providing infrastructure to numerous websites involved in virtual currency investment scams is commonly referred to as "pig butchering." "Funnull has directly facilitated several of these schemes, resulting in over $200 million in U.S. victim-reported losses," the OFAC advisory read. Majority of virtual currency investment scam websites reported to the FBI, the OFAC said, are linked to Funnul. Citing a 2023 alert by the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), OFAC said pig butchering scams are largely perpetrated by criminal organizations based in Southeast Asia. These groups exploit victims of labor trafficking to reach out to unsuspecting individuals worldwide. Scammers use fictitious identities, the OFAD said, under the pretense of potential romantic or business relationships, and elaborate storylines to deceive victims. They then steal the victims' assets by convincing them to invest in virtual currency through fake websites designed to look like legitimate investment platforms, which falsely show significant returns. Once a victim is unable or unwilling to invest more, the scammer abruptly cuts off communication—taking the entire investment with them. US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Michael Faulkender said the action taken against Funnull underscores the government's "focus on disrupting criminal enterprises," which enable cyber scams and deprive Americans of their savings. "The United States is strongly committed to ensuring the continued growth of a legitimate, safe, and secure digital asset ecosystem, including the use of virtual currencies and similar technologies," he added. The OFAC online statement provided a link to a cybersecurity advisory by the FBI, which indicates technical details about Funnull's operations. GMA News Online has requested comment from Funnull through the email address and Telegram contact number listed in its company website. GMA News Online has also emailed the official addresses indicated in Funnull's corporate document with the Philippines' Securities and Exchange Commission. Responses to these requests for comment have yet to be received as of posting time. Under US sanctions, all property and interests in property of the designated or blocked persons described above that are located in the United States, or in the possession or control of US persons, are blocked and must be reported to OFAC. Additionally, any entities owned—directly or indirectly—individually or in the aggregate, 50% or more by one or more blocked persons are also blocked. Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, or otherwise exempt, OFAC regulations generally prohibit all transactions by US persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of blocked persons. — with a report from Ted Cordero/ VDV, GMA Integrated News
