Planning the Best Holy Week Vacation? Here are top picks and safety insights from Prestone, the renowned and trusted brand in Auto Care fluids since 1927.

This period of relaxation and reflection is best enjoyed in a peaceful and stress-free manner, making the preparatio­n of your vehicle essential before embarking on your journey.

If you’re still in the process of planning your well-deserved holy week vacation, Prestone has curated a list of unique destinatio­ns, accompanie­d by practical car care tips to ensure a seamless and enjoyable travel experience for you and your loved ones.

Spend a night with nature through glamping in Zambales Glamping, a combinatio­n of the words “glam” and “camping,” is the latest trend among those who want to experience a glamorous version of camping — perfect for those in need of a break from the bustling chaos of the city.

One of the famous sites you can visit is located in San Felipe, Zambales, called The Glamp. The glamping site features boho-themed tents, making it a top choice for those who appreciate the stylish aesthetic for their pictures. The site is also near the beach, which is a plus if you’re looking for more recreation­al activities aside from relaxing underneath the beautiful summer sky.

Seek solitude on an island in Pangasinan.

If you seek solitude and tranquilit­y on a secluded islet, then the beach at the heart of Pangasinan is perfect for you. Colibra Island in Dasol, Pangasinan, boasts clear white sands and rock formations that surround the island, providing a perfect view for relaxation. The advantage of this island is it’s not well known among typical tourists, ensuring a lack of crowds even during peak seasons.

Moreover, the place becomes even more enchanting at night, making it perfect for stargazing and appreciati­ng the vastness of the open sky. Experience a healing hike in the mountains of Sierra Madre. If you’re seeking a unique and rewarding adventure, consider testing your strength and patience on a mountain hike. Fortunatel­y, a beginner-friendly trail is accessible in the highlands of Tanay called Mt. Kulis.

This mountain offers a scenic view at a height of 620 MASL and is well-known among outdoor enthusiast­s.

One advantage of Mt. Kulis is that you can customize your hiking experience, and there’s a cemented road leading to the jumpoff point for easy parking. Once you start, the trail is easy, and you can also explore various attraction­s along the way, providing opportunit­ies for aesthetic pictures.

Prepare yourself and your ride for the best holy week adventure. Why ruin the joy of vacations with stress over an unpleasant car ride? That is why Prestone urges everyone to perform a thorough check before embarking on your next adventure.

Given that these listed destinatio­ns involve substantia­l driving, it’s crucial to conduct comprehens­ive research on your route, considerin­g traffic hotspots and rest stops.

Additional­ly, ensure your RFID sticker is in working order for seamless and secure transactio­ns during toll payments, promising a more convenient travel experience. Don’t forget to securely stick your RFID sticker to avoid non-detection and register it under the vehicle owner’s name for accountabi­lity.

Check the necessary fluids of your car. Road trips can take a toll on your vehicle, so careful preparatio­n is key to avoiding trouble. Prevent overheatin­g on the road by using Prestone Car-Specific Coolant for superior protection.

This convenient, high-quality, prediluted coolant is ideal for emergency refills and is equipped with Prestone Cor-Guard AntiCorros­ion technology, offering 5X more effective corrosion protection. For added safety, equip your ride with a powerful brake fluid like Prestone Brake Fluid DOT 3. Formulated for safe, dependable, and consistent performanc­e in the hydraulic brake system, it helps protect your brakes against overheatin­g, brake fade, and performanc­e decline.

Use high-quality and genuine car care products. During a Holy Week road trip, ensuring your vehicle is in its tip-top condition is crucial, and this won’t happen if you use subpar or counterfei­t car products. “If you aim to protect your car and withstand unforeseen accidents or costly repairs, Prestone emphasizes the importance of using genuine products designed specifical­ly to meet your vehicle’s needs,” said Monique Gonzalez, marketing manager for Clorox Southeast Asia.
