Bring your 2023 Summer Travel goals to life with these six fascinating PH vacation spots

Thursday, May 4, 2023

The long, hot days of summer are finally here and if you’re one of the many who’s up for travel and adventure this season, there are many fascinating tourist and vacation spots around the country you can add to your bucket list.


A recent study by travel and experience platform Klook noted that 87% of Filipinos are raring to travel with many of their destinations of choice within the Philippines as booking for domestic destinations have exceeded pre-pandemic levels in 2022.


Domestic travel, according to the Department of Tourism, is expected to make a full recovery this year with the country’s hotel and resorts association reporting that occupancy has breached 2019 numbers and is largely driven by domestic tourism.


With 2023 being dubbed as the year of Revenge Travel, there’s no better time to plan your trip, pack your bags and head-off for an unforgettable adventure. But before you do, ensure your travels are hassle-free by getting Travel Master Insurance with COVID-19.


“It’s summer and we’re sure that many Filipinos are already picking out the destinations they want to travel to, especially since the Philippines has so many beautiful sites to see–from beautiful beaches to beautiful towns and cities–there’s something for every kind of traveler. Traveling should be fun, stress-free, and hassle-free, this is why we created Travel Master insurance–to provide our travelers the peace of mind and protection from any kind of eventuality so they can make the most out of their trips,” said Mario Berta, Igloo’s Country Manager for the Philippines.


Created in partnership with GCash and Malayan Insurance, Travel Master with COVID-19 provides travelers coverage including for personal accidents, flight delays, lost luggage, emergency medical treatment, hospital cash allowance, travel inconvenience benefits, and COVID-19 protection.


To get the Travel Master coverage, simply access the GInsure page available on your GCash app and select Travel and Travel Master with COVID-19. Fill in the form with your travel details and it will immediately provide you with coverage benefits and the premium contribution and you’re set to go.


Travel Master with COVID-19 is available whether you’re planning to travel locally or internationally–making it a flexible and much-needed travel companion anywhere you go.


So if you’re looking for destinations to add to your vacation bucket list, here are six spots around the Philippines to get you started:





Island Garden City of Samal

Davao del Norte

Located at the heart of the Davao Gulf, the Island Garden City of Samal is known as the largest resort island in the country– home to more than 30 resorts across a 118-kilometer stretch of coastline.


A mere 15-minute boat ride from Davao City, the resort island is a great stop for those who want to soak in the beautiful landscapes and seascapes of the Philippines. Go snorkeling and bask in the beauty of the 150-hectare Coral Garden and Marine Park that includes the Audanao Fish Sanctuary and the Giant Clam Sanctuary. On land, travelers can enjoy exploring the 11.5-hectare government-owned botanical garden and nature park where they can see diverse flora and fauna.


The resort island is also home to the largest colony of fruit bats in the world and they can be seen in their natural habitat at the Monfort Bat cave.




Alona Beach

Bohol

The Philippines is home to amazing beaches (it has more than 7,000 islands after all) and if you’re on the hunt for a new beach haunt that has white sand beaches like Boracay, Alona Beach in Panglao, Bohol is a great spot to add to your travel bucket list.


The white sand beach stretches a good 1.5 kilometers and is in full view of the blue, blue waters of the sea of Bohol. Nature lovers and adventure seekers may also immerse themselves in the rich marine biodiversity of Balicasag Island–a few minutes boat ride from Panglao island. Here you can snorkel and view its 400-meter coral garden and marine sanctuary.


Meanwhile, those who want to get the most out of their vacation and explore more of Bohol can also visit the famous Chocolate Hills, the Mahogany Forest, or take a slow, leisurely ride and a beautiful lunch along the Loboc River with the Loboc River Cruise.





The Ruins

Bacolod

Often called the “Taj Mahal of the Philippines,” The Ruins or the Lacson Ruins was the ancestral home of local sugar baron Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson built in the early 1900s in Talisay, Bacolod City. Inspired by Italian architecture, the Ruins was built in the memory of Don Mariano’s wife Maria, who died giving birth to their 8th child.


During the Second World War, the mansion was burned by Philippine guerillas to prevent it from being used by the Japanese. The mansion burned for three days straight but left behind its beautiful foundation. The Ruins has now become a popular tourist and event spot, especially for weddings because of its romantic history.


For those who want to experience more of the old-age architecture of the Philippines, they can–after visiting the Ruins–take a day trip to the neighboring city of Silay and visit its large collection of perfectly-preserved heritage houses including the Golez Heritage House and the Balay Negrense heritage house and museum.




Museo Orlina

Tagaytay City

For those who want a more leisurely adventure in cooler climes, Museo Orlina in Tagaytay City, is the perfect place for you.


Located at Hollywood St. Hollywood Subdivision in Tagaytay City, the museum houses the many glass sculptures of famed Filipino visual artist Ramon Orlina. Spend an hour or two exploring the four-floor exhibit area including the Reflections Gallery where Mr. Orlina exhibits videos, images, and documents charting his art journey; and the Naesa Gallery which features an ever-changing exhibition featuring up-and-coming Filipino artists.


If you fancy viewing his work alongside nature, take a walk at the Sculpture Garden and Amphitheater, and cap off the visit with a spectacular view of Taal Lake at the roof deck.








Tam-awan Village and Bell Church


As the Summer Capital of the Philippines, many vacationers travel to Baguio in search for respite from the hot weather. The cooler climate alongside the beautiful nature makes it a must-go destination for anyone regardless of their preference for adventure.


Those who’ve been to Baguio several times would undoubtedly know of its most famous landmarks including Wright Park, Burnham Park, Camp John Hay, and more. But for those who want to discover more of the city and its culture, there’s no better place to visit than the Tam-awan Village and the Bell Church.


Tam-awan Village located in Pinsao Proper, Baguio City is perfect for those interested in art and history. The village features indigenous craftsmanship and Ifugao architecture alongside art pieces made by local artists set within a sprawling and beautiful mountainside forest.


Bell Church, meanwhile, is a 63-year-old Taoist temple located in La Trinidad, Benguet. Here visitors can enjoy the beautiful architecture and the quaint lotus pond and even have their fortunes read by the monks of the temple.


Whether your summer plans are for adventure or relaxation, domestic or international, make your travels all fun and worry-free withTravel Master Insurance with COVID-19 available at the GCash’s GInsure marketplace.

Have a healthy, happy smile with the new Glister oral care solution

Amway’s oral care brand got 3 steps better with traceable Nutrilite-certified peppermint




Your smile does say a lot about you. That is because oral health is a key to long-lasting well-being and quality of life, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It’s a truth often overlooked that the mouth is a portal for overall health. It’s where nutrition and disease enter the body, so it’s important to show it attention. Keeping mouth, teeth and oral microbiome healthy is critical to feeling safe and protected. A healthy and happy smile is also important in building self-confidence as it allows you to interact with others without discomfort and hesitation.


This is why observing proper oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing daily, is a must to keep our mouths (and smiles) healthy. Good oral care can also help prevent issues like cavities, gum diseases, and bad breath by maintaining the balance of bacteria in our mouths and controlling the harmful ones. Without a solid daily routine, it’s easier for dental problems to contribute to more serious conditions linked to cardiovascular and respiratory health.


Glister, the popular dental care brand of entrepreneur-led health and wellness company Amway, advocates a 3-Step Oral Care System designed to gently clean teeth, freshen breath, and keep gums healthy—all without disrupting the delicate oral microbiome.


The first step to this oral care system is Glister Multi-Action Toothpaste, the top-selling Amway product for the past 25 years. It can gently and effectively prevent cavities, remove plaque, and reduce staining on teeth enamel for a whiter, brighter smile. Like all the other Glister formulas, this toothpaste boasts of plant- and naturally derived ingredients, including natural silica that gently polishes teeth and traceable Nutrilite-grown peppermint—a significant step the brand takes to ensure each product is safe and effective.





It also comes with the Reminact technology which helps redeposit essential minerals back onto the enamel through remineralization, strengthening the teeth and making them more resistant to decay. Glister toothpaste also has just the right amount of fluoride to prevent the demineralization effect of acid formed in the plaque of the teeth, and further protect them against cavities. For everyone’s peace of mind, it’s also formulated with no alcohol, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients.


The oral care brand also offers Glister Multi-Action Toothbrush in soft and medium bristles to complement this step. Each is engineered with an in-mold technology that provides a thinner head, more effective cleaning of hard-to-reach places, and an integrated tongue/cheek cleaner.


The second Glister-approved oral care step is flossing, which is a must to clean every nook and cranny of the teeth that brushing alone may miss. Glister Multi-Action Dental Floss is specially designed for this job, to remove plaque from hard-to-reach areas while also gently stimulating the gums. It has a flat ribbon shape that’s coated with a naturally derived wax that allows it to slide and glide smoothly between teeth and just below the gum line.


To complete the 3-Step Oral Care System, Amway’s dental care brand offers the Glister Multi-Action Concentrated Oral Rinse that can help kill gingivitis and bad breath-causing bacteria (it’s infused with Nutrilite-powered peppermint essential oil). It can also significantly reduce plaque and clean between teeth, compared to just brushing. This oral rinse can also be diluted with its highly concentrated formula for up to 100 uses per bottle. It also has no artificial dye, alcohol, peroxide, sugar, or parabens.


This oral care brand also has something for those always on the go. Long-lasting fresh breath and extra confidence are just a spray away with Glister Mint Refresher Spray. For more convenience, each spray is designed to deliver the right amount of freshness for the entire mouth with just a single pump and has been shown to provide strong antimicrobial action against oral bacteria. It also kills 99.99% of oral bacteria that cause bad breath and tooth decay.


Brush, floss, rinse, and refresh with Glister oral health products to strengthen and protect the delicate gateway to your entire body and support your general health, wellness, and happiness. Indeed, your smile does say a lot about you. Keep it radiant and healthy with Glister.

Safe seating, safe home: Top factors to consider for ensuring furniture safety in your household

When it comes to ensuring safety in the household, many homeowners focus on aspects such as fire safety, electrical safety, and emergency preparedness. While these are undoubtedly essential considerations, another area that is often overlooked is the role of furniture in keeping everyone in the house safe and sound – away from potential harm and accidents.




Have you ever considered that household furniture such as TV, chest of drawers or even a chair can be dangerous – especially to your children?

In line with its thrust to provide the best quality products and meet the desire of the consumers for durable and value-for-money household items, Uratex Monoblock launched its "Bawal Ang Marupok" campaign to educate and equip every homeowner to be keen and discerning towards investing in furniture - particularly in plastic chairs which are considered one of the essential and popular household items found in most Filipino homes and establishments.

Looking for Monobloc Chairs? Here's What You Need to Know to Make the Right Choice





Monobloc chairs are typical in homes, buildings and various indoor and outdoor spaces. They are affordable, easy to use, and quickly moved around, making them a smart choice for seating solutions. However, not all monobloc chairs are created equal. While they are generally durable and long-lasting, some common problems can arise. To ensure safety, Uratex Monoblock shares the top 3 essential factors that homeowners and entrepreneurs should consider before purchasing a monobloc chair:

Durability


Monobloc chairs are designed to be lightweight, stackable and easy to move. However, as you use them over time, they can become vulnerable to wear and tear, cracking, or breaking which can be considered a safety hazard.

There are a wide variety of plastic chairs available but looking at the quality of the material and how they are being made is essential to ensure that they are long-lasting and can withstand the test of time. Chairs made from cheap, low-quality plastic may be more prone to breaking, so it is ideal to ensure that the monobloc chairs have undergone the proper testing and inspection before being released to the market. It is also best to go for well-known and established brands with a reputation for producing high-quality products.

Seatload Capacity


Monobloc chairs have weight limits that vary depending on their design and construction. Chairs with higher weight limits are generally more durable and sturdy. Additionally, it demonstrates its quality by carrying a substantial amount of weight or impact without breaking, which is crucial for chairs subjected to everyday use.

Be sure to check the weight capacity of the chair you are considering through its seat load warning label to ensure its stability – preventing you from tipping off and encountering severe injuries, particularly for your kids.

Certification


Industry certifications ensure that products meet specific quality standards and have been tested and approved by credible independent third-party organizations. With this, customers may be guaranteed that the monobloc chairs are good quality and safe to use without any risks.

For homeowners, it provides assurance that their loved ones are safe using a certified, high-quality chair. In addition, this allows entrepreneurs to meet regulatory bodies safety standards by providing their customers and employees with durable and safe day-to-day monoblock chairs.

Now, as regular consumers, how will you know a monobloc chair's durability, capacity, and certification? All you have to do is check the warning sticker of a monobloc chair!



The Uratex Monoblock chair has the highest seat load capacity on the market at 200kg. To prove this and its durability, each chair has undergone a series of tests before being released to the public as part of the rules and regulations established by the Department of Trade and Industry - Bureau of Philippine Standards (DTI-BPS).

Among the tests executed are the Chair Fatigue, Breaking Point, and the Chair Drop – designed to assess the durability and safety of each Uratex Monoblock chair.

With this, Uratex Monoblock is the first brand in the Philippines to pass the country's highest plastic furniture standard, Level 5 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - ISO 7173.




Taking precautions when selecting household or commercial furniture is essential since making the wrong choice might result in accidents and injuries. Furthermore, the lifespan of a product is determined by its quality, which means that a less-priced option may be more expensive due to several replacements. Always look for a chair's durability, capacity, and certification to guarantee overall safety.
