Be part of Tagaytay Highlands and create lasting memories with families, friends, and fellow sports enthusiasts

How would you like to live in a community that offers a holistic and unique mountain resort experience like no other? Where you have a stunning view and a cool climate with your loved ones.

After a stressful workweek dealing with chaotic traffic and other woes of city living, most people just want to spend a relaxing weekend in the company of family and friends. Few, however, can beat the enthusiasm of avid golfers for finding the perfect getaway, one that exudes the luxury and elegance of a premier mountain resort community and provides access to a championship golf course set amidst breathtaking views.

This is why Tagaytay Highlands has become the favorite weekend destination of golfers and their families, where they spend time with other residents and guests who share the same passion for the sport.

Tagaytay Highlands is home to Asia’s most exciting golf course, the Tagaytay Highlands Golf Club, in which man-made ingenuity seamlessly blends with the natural terrain and lush greens of the Tagaytay landscape.

And then there’s the Tagaytay Midlands Golf Club, an equally challenging 18-hole championship golf course set amidst abundant greenery and a perfect vantage point of the Taal Lake and Volcano. Witness the perfect view while starting your first tee or while having lunch with family at the Midlands Golfers Lounge.

At the end of a long and fulfilling day and a round of golf, residents can then recharge in the comforts of their own home at Horizon Terraces or Vireya, two of Tagaytay Highlands’ most favored residential developments that are in close proximity to the Tagaytay Midlands Golf Club.

An Urban Escape amidst Nature at Horizon Terraces
Residents who long for a weekend retreat closer to nature can find the perfect home at Horizon Terraces. This 3.2-hectare community boasts of a contemporary Asian design aesthetic in its Garden Villas and Garden Suites, which are laid out, terrace-style, to afford postcard-pretty views of the Taal Lake and Volcano, the distant Mt. Makiling, the Midlands Golf Course, and its own lush central park.

The Garden Villas are three-bedroom townhouses of 136 to 154 square meters masterfully designed for large, close-knit families who long for a quick disconnect from the urban frenzy. Each living space is complemented by large glass windows and sliding doors to maximize natural light, cool breeze, and refreshing views. The ground floor in each unit features a multi-functional den that may be converted into an entertainment area or a guest room.

The Garden Suites are perfect for growing families and individuals. These well-planned one- and two-bedroom units range from 43 to 68 square meters in size highlighted by large panel sliding windows that maximize natural lighting and ventilation and an expansive balcony to enjoy views.

Inspired by the radiance of nature that surrounds it, Horizon Terraces promises holistic indulgence through the community’s very own central park, where laidback moments or active adventures can be found within a hectare of lush, verdant setting. Over 70% of the development is dedicated to open spaces and lush gardens while therapeutic walkways, private nooks, and a jogging path weave through the entire area as spaces to converge and commune. Two swimming pools and a playground call for invigorating activities within a serene refuge.

A Mountainside Paradise at Vireya
Families who prefer to dwell in a tropical haven can choose Vireya, the first and only tropical resort community in Tagaytay Highlands where the cool mist of the mountains complements with the vibrant warmth of the tropics.

Located at the highest point of the Midlands, future residents can build tropical-inspired homes on 250- to 562-square-meter lots wherein elements of wood and wide glass windows and high-pitched roofs and entryways allow the verdant outdoors in.

Satisfy your distinct leisurely pursuits amidst the mountainside tropics with exclusive amenities that can be found within Vireya. Enjoy memorable moments at the Pavana, Vireya’s central amenity with a pavilion and swimming pool, or unwind in relaxation at the Ammanya Massage Point.


Spend serene afternoons with nature at Vireya’s pocket parks or gardens such as the Cala Mira, Leafwing, Herb Garden, and Garden Patio. Or lounge in your favorite spot at the first neighborhood Treehouse in Tagaytay Highlands. Residents can also maintain a fit and active lifestyle through the jogging paths.

If you’re looking for a haven that offers a holistic and unique mountain resort experience like no other, be part of Tagaytay Highlands and create lasting memories with families, friends, and fellow sports enthusiasts.

Gipit? Need ng instant cash ng may mataas na appraisal? Punta ka na sa Cebuana Lhuillier

Dati kapag naririnig ko ang salitang sangla, parang sobrang kawawa at gipit na yung tao. Naiisip ko baka natalo sa sugal, nag adik at kung ano pang kamalasan. Siguro dahil na din sa mga napapanood ko sa TV, pero parang sobrang nakakahiya kapag nagpunta ka na sa sanglaan.  Yung tipong takot ka pang makita ng kapitbahay na nagsasanla dahil siguradong ikaw na ang bida sa susunod na tsismisan nila.  Na kesyo may kapamilya ka ng napariwara, o nakaw yung gamit na sinasangla mo o talagang wala ka ng matakbuhan at mautangang kapamilya kaya desperado ka na at sanglaan na ang huli mong matatakbuhan.

Sabagay hindi mo din masisi kase hindi iilan lamang ang sanglaan dati, nasa sulok pa ng kalye na parang kahit sila ay nagtatago din. Pero ngayon natural na lang ang magsangla kung wala ka ng ibang malalapitan.

Naranasan mo na rin bang may babayaran kang past due date na, pero ang sweldo ilang araw pa. Ayaw mo naman galawin ang savings mo dahil alam mo di na ulit maibabalik yun.  Kung meron ka mang ATM account, malamang naghihintay din yun malagyan katulad mo.

Ang hirap ng ganyan diba mga mumsh?

Madalas mangyari sa akin yan nung nag aaral pa ang mga anak ko ng college. Tama na sana yung kwenta ko ng tuition fees, tapos nalimot ko may mga libro pang bibilhin and worst may miscellaneous fees pa. Haist ang buhay nanay nga naman.

Kaya tuloy one-time ay nagalaw ko yung set of earrings na naitabi ko. Naalala ko na yun ang kauna unahang alahas na nabili ko, pero dala ng pangangailangan, ayun naisanla ko siya para pandagdag sa pambayad ng bills. Buti na lang din may malapit lang ng Cebuana Lhuillier sa amin. Isang tumbling lang ayan na. So anu ba ang mga madalas na naiisip natin pag pinagbakasyon natin ang mga alahas natin?



Eto na yung mga simpleng tanong natin kapag magsasangla

Syempre iisipin mo na pag nagsangla ba, safe ba yung mga alahas mo? Di ba yun mawawala or babawasan o mapapalitan?


Naka insured po yung mga alahas sa Cebuana, kayat kahit ano mangyari di ka kakabahan at alam mo anytime pede nilang palitan kung mawala nila bastat hawak mo lang ang papel de agencia mo.


Nakasealed din  yung item mo na may pirma mo para sure ka na di ito mabubuksan at pakikialaman. Merong din silang vault na fireproof at CCTV na nakakabit at Alarm System

Parang banko lang diba?

 Di po ba kinakaskas yung ginto sa oras ng pagsasangla? 

Eto pa dahil alam nila na mahalaga sa iyo ang bagay na isasanla mo, maingat din nila itong kinikilatis. Hindi  kakaskasin yung ginto kaya wag ka magalala. May paraan sila ng pag test upang malaman ang uri ng ginto na sinasangla mo kung totoong ginto or fashion jewelry,  na gamit ang itim na bato, asido, at cigarette ash.  Pwede mo pa siyang ipatimbang muli kapag tutubusin mo na para alam mo kung nabawasan ba ito.

San po ba mataas ang appraisal fee?


Siyempre hanap din tayo kung saan mataas ang appraisal fee. At ginawa ko din yun! Dahil magkakatabi lang naman ang mga sanglaan sa amin, nag try ako magsangla sa sanglaan X, 18K po yung ginto ng mga hikaw, tapos sabi P2600 ang appraisal fee, eh kulang pa yun mga mumsh so naghanap pa ko ng iba.


Kaya dun ako napunta sa Cebuana, yung hikaw eh inappraise nila ng P3400 ang laki din ng diperensya diba?.  To think na kulang pa ng pakaw yung isang pares kase nawala ko na. Edi dun na ko sa Cebuana.

 Ano po ba pedeng maisangla bukod sa ginto?

Tapos tinanong ko na din kung ano pa ang pwede ko maisangla just in case magipit muli ako. Ang sabi nila kahit pa sirang alahas, example kulang ng pakaw, natabingi na yung singsing, putol na kwintas, etc. Pede magsangla ng kahit hiwa hiwalay pa yang mga alahas mo, mapa tabingi man yan putol or kulang, di magkapartner,  as long as may kilatis at ginto pede po.

Pwede ding  isangla ang mga alahas na ginto, diamond, platinum, relos at mga gadgets gaya ng cellphone at laptop.

 Anu ano ang mga kilatis ng ginto na pwedeng maisangla?

Sa ginto ang mga kilatis na pwedeng maisangla ay yun kilatis na 9K, 14K, 18K, 21K, 22K, at 24K. Naayon yan sa bigat ng mga ginto sa alahas kung magkano tatanggapin sa sanglaan. Kahit pa saang bansa galing katulad ng Dubai, Saudi, Italy, Chinese, Japan or Singapore.

Paano Ba Magsangla?

1. Dalhin ang ginto, alahas, diamond, platinum o anu mang isasangla sa Cebuana Lhuillier.

2. Ipakilatis ang alahas at sila ang magbibigay ng presyo ng iyong sangla.

3. I fill up ang form ng iyong pangalan, address o anuman hihingin personal information.

4.  Pirmahan ang naka sealed na plastic kung saan nakalagay ang iyong sinangla. Kunin ang cash pagkatapos ng transaksyon.

5. Itabi ang papel de agencia.

Kaya kung gusto mo ng instant cash at good deal sa pagsasangla dahil sa mas  mataas na appraisal. Pedeng pede ka ng magsangla sa Cebuana Lhuillier. Merun silang mahigit na 2000 branches nationwide. Kung magrerenew ka man ng sangla mo pede mo to gawin sa kahit saang branch ng Cebuana Lhuillier.


Kaya next time na magipit.  Punta ka lang sa pinakamalapit na Cebuana Lhuillier para sa mas mataas na appraisal at instant cash.

Chang Ai Express rebrands with new and affordable chinese dishes

If you're around Mother Ignacia in QC and is looking for a chinese restaurant around the vicinity. You can visit and try Chang Ai Express. The restaurant is owned by celebrity actress Ms. Ai Ai and son Chef Sancho Vito. The meals are affordable and delicious too. All of the dishes are prepared by  Chef Sancho and Chef Ren Tuico.

                                      Chef Sancho and Chef Ren Tuico


My personal favorite is their Fish and Tofu meal, as tofu is cooked crispy  perfect with fish to bring out the flavor,  an order of steamed rice is also recommended. I also recommend the Mango Sago Medley for dessert. Its creamy tasty with mango and sago,  and not that sweet, which I preferred.

                                 Combo Meal A (Php 165)

                                             Fish and Tofu Php 245
                    Fried fish fillet and tofu coated with a sweet soy glaze

                              Cauliflower and Green Beans Php 150
          Cauliflower and green beans stir fried with garlic and ginger sambai

GSK promises to help eliminate disease that is spread by mosquitoes

In the Philippines, GSK has donated over 255 million albendazole tablets over the last 17 years. This small white tablet is part of the fight to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF), a disease transmitted by mosquitoes and burdens identified rural communities in the country.

By the end of the year, GSK projects this donation to reach 261 million albendazole tablets in support of its goal to help eliminate LF in the Philippines by 2020.

Globally, GSK has donated 8 billion tablets of albendazole to help eliminate this disabling disease. This tablet is used in combination with other medicines to help prevent transmission of LF.

Following almost two decades of successful LF elimination efforts by the Philippine Government led by the Department of Health (DOH), the DOH reported that only eight provinces remain endemic for LF out of the 46 earlier established.

During the 1st ASEAN Lymphatic Filariasis Forum 2018 in July which was held in Manila, Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III stressed, “the DOH is ready to take the challenge of eliminating filariasis in the country by being more responsive through the DOH’s revitalized agenda of Fourmula 1 Plus for Health.”1 Fourmula 1 Plus for Health is a DOH strategy focusing of health financing, health service delivery network, health regulation, governance in health and performance accountability. 

“To ensure the success against lymphatic filariasis, Duque devised a Formula E approach which is for Engagement and Everybody. Engagement is where government needs to share its resources and expertise with other stakeholders including local governments, and Everybody is where the whole of government or the whole-of-society approach should be adapted by leaders to ensure that all interventions are aligned and inter-connected,” the DOH reported.1

LF, a parasitic infection spread by mosquitoes, is found in the tropical and sub-tropical areas of Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas.2 LF is one of the world’s leading causes of disability.3 Symptoms can include chronic swelling of the legs, arms and male genitals. People with LF are also less able to resist common skin infections, resulting in a cruel cycle of fevers and painful swellings. In its severest form, LF leads to elephantiasis, a crippling condition in which the limbs are swollen with marked thickening of the skin and underlying tissues.4

The World Health Organization estimates that 856 million people in 52 countries are living in areas where LF is transmitted and are at risk of being infected.4 

In the Philippines, it was reported in year 2000 that over 25 million people live in LF-endemic areas.5

At the turn of the millennium, the World Health Organization launched its global program to eliminate LF with the aim of defeating the disease as a global health problem by 2020. GSK and partners helped build a global alliance including organizations from across the non-profit and private sector to get behind the WHO’s campaign. GSK’s albendazole donation through the WHO forms part of this global effort.

GSK Philippines General Manager, Sriram Jambunathan, commented, “The Philippine Government, through the DOH, is to be commended for its achievement in the elimination of LF in many provinces in the last two decades.  This is a testament to the commitment and dedication of the government at the national and local government units, especially the health workers delivering treatments on the ground. We, in GSK, remain committed to playing our part with the global donation of albendazole for as long as it is needed to replicate this success throughout the remaining eight endemic provinces, freeing Filipino communities from the burden of LF.”

This year, GSK commemorates its 50th year in the Philippines and commits to continue helping Filipinos do more, feel better, live longer.

For questions, please consult your doctor or community health officials.

UNIQLO PH launches 2018 Fall/Winter Collection

It was "shop" at first sight the moment I saw those stores displays the very first day Uniqlo opened here in the Philippines. I lined up and went back again and again that opening weekend hoping to score more great finds from this brand that I've long been waiting for.

And through the past years, I think I have all the basic shirts, classic polos, A skirts, tops, and even underwears, I think 95 percent of my wardrobe are all from Uniqlo.  I have a piece of every collaboration they have from the U, Ines dela Fressange collection, and J.W Anderson collection.  You can never go wrong with the brand.

In fact its become my trademark of sorts and I guess whether they like to admit it or not i think I've influenced a lot of my friends to do the same and adopt the Uniqlo Lifewear lifestyle.


You can layered your everyday outfit from UNIQLO with anything in your closet. You can be in your stylish casual, sporty,  formal, or a little dressed up.

Its perfect for outerwear or as inner layers. If you know how to layer your everyday outfit, then UNIQLO is the way to go, and the best part--they are priced just right.

UNIQLO recently launched their  Fall/Winter 2018 collection last August 8 at Whitespace, Makati.

UNIQLO is constantly thinking about the evolution of clothes and for their  Fall/Winter 2018 collection, LifeWear promotes individuality through a fresh emphasis on two basic elements—color and silhouette. This season, Uniqlo has created a collection of easy-to-coordinate colors and silhouettes to help people dress with style and confidence.

To build a full color palette for the collection, we took inspiration from three key lifestyle concepts: Great Outdoors, Work and Craft, and Abstract Art. To reflect these, the palette includes moss greens and sky reds, colors inspired by natural materials—wood, clay and stone gray, as well as the bold and vivid colors of art—blues, reds, and yellows. The wearer can use the palette to create sophisticated tonal looks or pare it back to a classic neutral.

The collection is also refined to three universal and timeless shapes—circular, triangular, and rectangular. These shapes are subtly emphasized throughout the collection in its oversized items, in its flared and A-line items and in its more structured, narrow looks. Wearers can choose shapes that flatter their own unique body type for more confidence and more individual style.

As always, UNIQLO fabrics are the foundation that makes LifeWear modern and stylish— developed for beauty, durability, lightness, comfort and warmth. All our color and silhouette innovations for Fall/Winter 2018 are applied across LifeWear’s full range of innovative, high quality materials.

HEATTECH: 

HEATTECH is innerwear that UNIQLO has developed in partnership with Toray Industries of Japan. It absorbs moisture from the body to generate heat, while air pockets in the fabric fibers retain heat.

HEATTECH has evolved over the years to become thinner, lighter, smoother, and warmer. Its innovative qualities have helped to transform winter fashion around the globe and have become central to everyday living in cooler months.

UNIQLO responded to consumer demand by developing HEATTECH Extra Warm, which is 1.5 times warmer than regular HEATTECH. HEATTECH Extra Warm features a soft brushed interior in direct contact with the skin for additional warmth.

Last year, the company introduced HEATTECH Ultra Warm, which is 2.25 times warmer than ordinary HEATTECH. This provides additional comfort for those living in particularly chilly climates or for those who spend long hours working outside in freezing temperatures. HEATTECH Ultra Warm employs a special knit design that thickens the fabric and lengthens brushed lining fibers. Additionally, air pockets between the fibers create a large air layer within the fabric, offering incredible warmth, even in the extreme cold.

AIRism: UNIQLO re-introduces its AIRism collection featuring breathable, smooth, and lightweight pieces that provides the best comfort 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

UNIQLO AIRism is innerwear that is silky smooth and cool to the touch. Designed with Comfort Conditioning technology, it releases heat and moisture, and adapts to any condition to help you stay cool and confident in unpredictable weather.

Rooted in the brand’s LifeWear philosophy, each piece of clothing from the collection is created to accommodate the lifestyle of every Filipino. This season’s AIRism lineup features a variety of items made for different occasions.



The updated lineup includes three (3) main types of AIRism innerwear: Jersey for daily use, Mesh for active days, and Seamless for formal looks.

Light as air and refreshingly comfortable, each AIRism piece is a reflection of UNIQLO’s commitment to continually offer innovative clothing to bring better comfort to the lives of its customers.

ULTRA LIGHT DOWN: The Ultra Light Down lineup is endlessly evolving. UNIQLO uses a premium down material and a special treatment that eliminates the need for down packs, so items are super warm, thin, and light. They are perfect in a range of styles as outerwear or as inner layers, from the beginning of fall through early spring.

New for Fall/Winter 2018 are the men’s Ultra Light Down Compact Vests and Jackets with two-way collars that you can fold back for shallow and deep v-necks. UNIQLO adjusted the down volume in the women’s Ultra Light Down Compact Jackets to enhance the figure. Piping tape enables the two-way collars to secure sharp lines when folded back.

The Ultra Light Down Seamless Parka is an increasingly popular item in this range for its ability to shut out wind to maintain warmth.

SEAMLESS DOWN: UNIQLO’s Seamless Down items employ crimping to minimize the number of seams and to keep the cold and rain at bay. An inner layer of just one of these light items keeps wearers snug even in the depths of winter.

This season sees style options broaden with the addition of highly functional next-generation pieces that eliminate the need for heavy winter outerwear. Water-repellent fabric finishes and seamless designs provide double protection against rain and snow.

Another benefit is unparalleled down retention. UNIQLO offers Seamless Down parkas, coats, and other stylish items incorporating the Seamless Down. The women’s Seamless Short Coat now employs a soft fabric for enhanced comfort.

BLOCKTECH: Light and soft Blocktech is perfect for shutting out the rain and wind with its durable water-repellent coating that keeps wearers dry. The fabric is also breathable, releasing moisture to keep sweat at bay and maintain comfort. UNIQLO has expanded the lineup of everyday apparel, employing this high-performance technology to deliver comfort to high mobility lifestyles.

Blocktech parkas offer outstanding stretch to keep movement free in active casual and sports situations. This season, new ventilation specifications have been adopted on the Women’s Soutien Collar Coats and Women’s Blocktech Parkas to improve breathability.

Blocktech performance utility wear epitomizes UNIQLO’s commitment to innovation.

FLEECE: Light and soft Fleece keeps you warm and comfortable. It is easy to wash, dries fast, and is a versatile essential in any wardrobe. It is also a great fabric for outerwear, T-shirts, and sweaters. The Fleece range has been updated this season to offer stylish new T-shirts, jackets, and coats in even more colors.

The Fall/Winter 2018 lineup includes more Fleece Crew Neck T-Shirts. Also new is Fluffy Yarn Fleece outerwear, as well as boa fleeces for women and men, including Windproof Pile-Lined Fleece Long Sleeve Hoodies for men.

Subtle new color variations on most items add styling options. The diverse hues and designs in the latest UNIQLO Fleece lineup deliver warmth and comfort for all.

KNITS: UNIQLO’s world-class knits are carefully crafted with select natural materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. Available in an array of color variations, this quality LifeWear line easily becomes an accessible wardrobe basic.

Beginning this Fall/Winter 2018, UNIQLO has made the switch to Premium Lambs’ Wool. Its exceptionally fine fibers make it warmer and smoother than regular lambs’ wool. Items incorporating 100% Extra Fine Merino Wool are equally as comfortable. All pieces resist pilling, are machine washable, and retain their shape for longer wear. UNIQLO also offers 100% Cashmere items whose wool is sourced from top-quality producers.

This season, UNIQLO introduces more women’s items made using the WHOLEGARMENT 3D knit technology that has proved so popular with Uniqlo U offerings. These knits enhance feminine figures while delivering seam-free comfort.

Note: Some items have seams

Stretch satin material gives it an elegant glossy sheen, and a simple solid color with an accent stripe at the waist lends a playful twist. A center crease adds a stylish touch that goes well with dressy or casual outfits.
