WELCOME TO CHATEAU DU MER BEACH RESORT

If this is your first time in my site, welcome! Chateau Du Mer is a beach house and a Conference Hall. The beach house could now accommodate 10 guests, six in the main floor and four in the first floor( air conditioned room). In addition, you can now reserve your vacation dates ahead and pay the rental fees via PayPal. I hope to see you soon in Marinduque- Home of the Morions and Heart of the Philippines. The photo above was taken during our first Garden Wedding ceremony at The Chateau Du Mer Gardens. I have also posted my favorite Filipino and American dishes and recipes in this site. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own, but I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights!

Plastic Waste Converted into Clean Hydrogen Fuel


South Korean scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough by developing a photocatalytic system that converts plastic waste into clean hydrogen fuel using sunlight.
Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science, led by Professors Kim Dae-Hyeong and Hyeon Taeghwan, have engineered a system where a hydrogel-encapsulated catalyst floats on water, breaking down PET bottles into hydrogen and valuable byproducts like ethylene glycol, all without emissions.
Tested on a one-square-meter device under natural sunlight, the technology has shown stability over two months and potential scalability to 10-100 square meters, offering a cost-effective, carbon-free energy solution.
The establishment hails this as a dual win for waste management and clean energy, addressing the 6.3 billion tons of plastic waste generated since 1950, much of it polluting oceans and landfills.

FILIPINO PRIDE: FILIPINO CHEF BEHIND VIRAL DUBAI CHOCOLATE SEEKS AED 2 MILLION INVESTMENT ON SHARK TANK
Filipino pastry chef Nouel Catis, the creative mind behind the viral “Dubai Chocolate” (originally pistachio-kunafah), made a bold appearance on Shark Tank Dubai Season 3, asking for AED 2 million in exchange for a 20% stake in his company.
Catis, who hails from Dipolog City, has built a reputation for blending Filipino roots with culinary innovation, having worked in luxury kitchens across the Middle East and Asia. His Shark Tank pitch preceded the launch of his brand SNA’AP and his dessert platform The Sweet Life.
Reflecting on the experience, he shared on Instagram: “The moment I walked off that stage, I carried the sharks’ words with me, like a child being mentored by a parent. That experience lit a fire. I never looked back.”
More than just a pitch for funding, Chef Nouel’s appearance on the show marked his creative independence and confidence in owning his culinary vision. His journey showcases how Filipinos are rising on global stages, not just as workers, but as innovators and leaders in their fields.
In 2024, he was recognized at the Global Filipino Icon Awards, where he was named Emerging Global Filipino Icon for his contributions to food and culture.

Lastly, Did You know that.....
In a stunning leap in weapons engineering, China has reportedly developed a rapid-fire machine gun capable of unleashing an astronomical 450,000 rounds per minute. This rate of fire far exceeds that of current U.S. systems like the M134 Minigun, which peaks around 6,000 rounds per minute. The Chinese system, possibly using stacked projectiles and electromagnetic firing mechanisms, is said to represent a new era of high-speed, high-volume automated weaponry.
Such advancements raise serious questions about future warfare capabilities and arms race dynamics between global superpowers. If verified, this weapon could be a game-changer for close-combat scenarios, drone defense, and military deterrence. The implications for both battlefield strategy and geopolitical balance are immense.
