2. Beyond “bleisures” For other people, business travel or “bleisures” is an added benefit of a job, and it still is. But today, we’re seeing young people who take initiatives on their own rather than to waiting and relying when and where their companies would send them. The key? Web is the first place to be.
3. Group travel is trending Going solo or “backpacking” doesn’t have to mean going alone. In fact, solo and budget travel is becoming increasingly enticing, safe and easy when organised with a group tour operator. Being a “# joiner” gives young people the freedom to explore alone while also enjoying the benefit of having a safety net of a larger group. (Check out pages like DIY travel Philippines, byaheng budgetarian on Facebook and you’ll be amazed on how fun low-cost touristy trips are)
So to my friends who are still to stuck in your office cubicles, travel while your young and your physically fit, and maybe while you have lesser financial obligations— though it does not have to be expensive all the time.
Moreso, if you’re one of the people who grinds and works yourself off every single day, you deserve a reward and an awesome break from work. Rest if you need to rest. Slow down if you need to slowdown.
Always remember, your careers can always bounce back but you only have one life to take care of. Stay Active until our next chat!

+ You like air travel? If you are from the northern part of Quezon City and residing in any town of Central and North Luzon, I suggest you fly via Clark airport. Very convenient. You don’t have any temper to lose. You skip the 24 hour heavy traffic of EDSA and the other main thoroughfares of the metropolis.
+ When you go to Sagada, Mountain Province and explore those beautiful caves underneath, you might as well bring with you some protective gears. The town government should provide some warnings that it is highly dangerous particularly to young and older people to explore the caves. Paging Mayor James Pooten.
+President Duterte seems love traveling now, talking with our kababayans working abroad and leaders of countries. Accompanied by cabinet members, Mocha Uson and other officials with the Mocha dancers in tow, it must be fun.
+ Inquirer reporter Tonette Orejas reported that the Pampanga provincial jail which was built in the early nineteen hundreds, today houses 2,146 detainees. Three times the capacity of 800.
+Thereare138,000inmatesinonly466 jails. Prisoners learned how to sleep standing. No way they can recline because they are packed.
+ On the average it takes 117 inmates and causes overcrowding. Governor Lilia Pineda is proposing a 50 hectare lot in an upland area in the town of Floridablanca to be made a penal farm, because the provincial government spends almost P2 million monthly for food al l ocat i on.
+ I played the slots in the PAGCOR run casino in Davao City more than a year ago when I was visiting my kin there, the Dizons. I noticed that the anti-smoking law is strictly implemented inside the casino. Not even Koreans and Chinese players who are known heavy smokers can’t take a puff.
+Casinos should now allot a space as a designated area for smokers. I hope in the Implementing rules and Regulations (IRR) it will include jailing after three arrest. (Huwag naman death penalty. Pinapatay na nga ng unti-unti ni smoker ang sarile eh. Joke only).
+ PAGCOR as the agency regulating operations of the casinos all over the country including those in the Entertainment Bay area, Subic and Clark Freeport should now
send memos to strictly implement President Duterte’s order against smoking in public places.
+ The Build, Build, Build program of the Duterte administration is a welcome development. At this early some sectors are already afraid of the misuse of the P9 trillion. So many government officials and contractors are already grinning ear to ear.
+ There is confusion over the Anti-Distracted Driving Act. It is not a well-thought piece of legislation. President Duterte shouldn’t have signed it. His legal counsel has not really studied it carefully it seems.
+ There are so many laws. Most are not implemented. Now this new law on driving which will penalize even the most trivial matters like placing a rosary atop the car’s dashboard can be an opportunity for ‘Kotong cops and enforcers’.
