The seeming name embodies the restaurant’s purpose to tribute to a retro-
inspired by the 60’s psychedelic era. Ragsak is an Ilocano word for
”happiness” (Cruz, 2013). It has the right dose of grooviness with a hint of
funky vibe that tickles your imagination. In Ragsak, the goal is to make the
space ideal for people to come back and to let them process their journey in
the revitalization of self-identity. Part of this perception is built upon a form of
a ripple effect. This occurs when you start to express your emotional health
openly. Indeed, even a little window of weakness makes space for others to
share their own stories, and tend to open their own wounds (Badley, 2015).
The classic Ilocano delicacies are making a possible avenue of connectivity
not only for oneself but also for the people inside Ragsak cuisine

Space is divided into 6 different areas namely the sober entrance, buzzed
lounge and bar area, blazed kitchen and dining. Each room was carefully
designed and had a completely different vibe of giving the target customers
a twister experience. The sober entrance is intended to set the mood of the
restaurant’s interior. Giving a buzzing lounge and bar experience with the
tactile richness of natural textures including the play of light and shadows
make an ideal space that engages the senses. .
