Travel savvy: It’s best to bring your valuables such as travel papers, electronics, medications, and the like in your carry-on baggage

AirAsia Philippines shares some important tips for local and foreign travelers, especially now that -Ber months officially start next week.  

With an expected influx of travelers arriving and departing this season, the World's Best Low-Cost Airline rolls out the best hacks to ensure a seamless and hassle-free travel experience. 

For AirAsia Philippines Head for Communications and Public Affairs and First Officer Steve Dailisan, “At AirAsia, making sure every guest enjoys a safe, on time, and affordable flight is our top priority and this extends to their belongings aboard our aircraft as well. As part of our efforts to enhance our customers’ peace of mind during their travels, we also aim to provide some useful tips to help each customer better prepare for their flight in order to ensure their baggage is well-cared for.”

Safeguard your baggage–and peace of mind–with these top tips when preparing for your next flight!

Best for your carry on

Valuables such as money and jewelry should always be kept close. These items are not only susceptible to damage but can sometimes also attract unwanted attention–so keep the bling on board and add these to your carry-on!

Important papers like your passport, travel documents, boarding passes, and IDs are also best kept in your hand carry. Losing these items can lead to disruptions to your journey, or worse identity theft. Keep them within arm's reach always.

Electronics and gadgets like laptops, tablets, and cameras should also be placed in your hand carry. Don’t forget they have delicate and often fragile components.

Medications such as prescription medicines, medical devices, and any other health-related items should also be kept in your hand luggage. It's essential to have immediate access to these in case of emergencies and to ensure your well-being.

Bear in mind, when flying with AirAsia, all guests (except infants) are allowed to carry on board two pieces of cabin baggage, the total weight of both pieces must not exceed 7kg.

The journey of your check-in baggage

For larger, more cumbersome baggage, the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline offers passengers a flexible check-in allowance: get up to 60kg with no limit on the number of bags checked in.

Once checked-in baggage is accepted by the red-and-white counters, it is turned over to the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) for added security inspections. While these are essential, guests should keep in mind that baggage may be opened and inspected by the OTS before being cleared to fly. 

Prohibited items are commonly returned to the check-in counters which may sometimes cause delays. To ensure a safe and hassle-free trip, avoid bringing any of the following in your check-in baggage: Corrosive substances such as flammable and hazardous materials, mechanical tools, explosives, and the like. Additionally, batteries and power banks are also strictly prohibited from being stored inside check-in baggage and should be kept in your carry-on.

According to the OTS, a number of prohibited items seized in airports include live bullets and "non-live" bullets such as those kept as amulets or gifts—guests should avoid bringing such souvenirs as well.

After passing this last checkpoint, AirAsia’s Allstar ramp agents take over to load the baggage safely on the aircraft. For any discrepancies or damage encountered with check-in baggage, guests are reminded to raise it immediately with ground staff or customer service counters in your airport of destination.

Empowering Financial Stability: Learning from Our Heroes' Journeys Towards a Secure Future

 

Looking for inspiration for your financial goals? Perhaps our country’s national heroes can provide us with relevant insight this National Heroes Day.

 

Celebrated in the month of August, National Heroes Day enshrines the heroes who fought for the country’s independence. It celebrates not just one or a few heroes—rather, it is meant to honor all heroes who worked hard and even faced death for the freedom and liberties we are enjoying today. 

 

There is much we can learn from our national heroes beyond what they have done for our country. Besides their bravery and love for the country, their personal beliefs and practices remain relevant today—and are worthy of emulation, especially for those of us working towards personal goals and financial security. 

A mind for money consciousness

 

Dr. Jose Rizal is easily among the most revered and respected. His writings—particularly his novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo—are considered to have inspired the Philippine Revolution that was waged against Spanish colonizers for the country’s independence. He is known as a polymath, someone with a wide range of knowledge; besides being a writer, he was also an ophthalmologist by profession and had skills in painting. 

 

But aside from his talents and contributions to the Philippine Revolution, Rizal is known for being money-conscious. Historians noted that Rizal kept a very detailed record of his daily expenses—listing down money he spent, down to the last centavo. A letter he sent to his sisters even revealed that he once did not take a bath for months while studying abroad because “a bath is expensive.” In his travels in Europe, records showed that he went out of his way to look for cheaper accommodations to save money and plan his meals meticulously so he can follow the daily budget he set for himself. 

 

Of course, it isn’t healthy to forego daily needs just to save money. Yet, we can also learn a thing or two from Rizal in terms of budgeting. Then and now, it helps to record our expenses and set a specific budget to avoid financial waste and achieve our financial goals sooner.

 

The value of self-improvement

 

Andres Bonifacio is known as one of the founders of the Katipunan, a Philippine revolutionary society with the goal of gaining independence from Spain. From history lessons we learned that Bonifacio did not complete his formal education. He is considered today as a self-taught man—reading books about United States presidents, the French Revolution, and French novels. He supported his family by working at a young age; Bonifacio even learned English while he worked as a clerk for a British company. He dealt with his financial hardships by working hard and held part-time jobs to augment his regular income. This also did not stop him from being a vicarious reader; he was immersed in literature and read novels such as Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables and Rizal’s own novels, which inspired his desire to fight for Philippine independence.

 

From this we can learn that we are never too busy to improve ourselves—may it be through self-education, reading, or formal education and training, It is also important to have more than one source of income. Bonifacio exhibited that hard work and passion for education are values that remain relevant today. 

 

Couple these good habits and practices with tools that can help you achieve your financial goals from a reliable banking partner who understands your needs.

 

And just like Rizal and Bonifacio who have made a positive impact not only for the country but in our personal lives, you need another hero that will champion these habits and help you achieve your goals and aspirations in life.

 

Consider banking with a financial hero like RCBC, a bank that is committed to your financial success and well-being, and prioritizes your needs. RCBC offers banking solutions that cater to specific needs of each phase of life, from building your savings and maximizing your funds potential, to fulfilling lifelong dreams such as buying your first home and planning your retirement.

There are many other national heroes who have fought fearlessly for our freedom and can be considered as models for our modern lives. By being financially strong and independent, we can help ourselves as well as our family and loved ones—thus becoming your very own personal hero. 

Alaska partners with Judy Ann Santos to Provide Moms with the Ultimate 'SustansyaYUM' Recipes

Deciding what to cook or prepare for kids can often be a daunting task for moms, involving a delicate balance of nutritional value, taste preferences, and variety. The challenge of coming up with creative yet wholesome meals or snacks that kids will enjoy can be quite overwhelming. 

However, with the introduction of Alaska Condensed Milk, Alaska Evap Milk and Alaska Crema, into the culinary equation, this struggle has been significantly eased. Now, moms can effortlessly whip up a diverse range of delightful dishes in an instant. From comforting pumpkin soup to savory chicken with gravy, or even a refreshing prawn salad, the options are as limitless as they are convenient.

Alaska Evap Milk and products serve as a versatile ingredient that not only adds a rich creaminess to the meals but also simplifies the cooking process, helping moms craft everyday dishes that are both nourishing and enticing for their kids. Grateful for this culinary ally, Alaska Evap Milk has truly emerged as a helping hand for moms, turning the once challenging task into an enjoyable culinary adventure.

 

Many can lay claim to providing moms with the help they need to ensure their families’ nutrition, but very few ever really deliver. Among them is homegrown milk company, Alaska Milk Corporation.

A brand founded on the premise of providing families with access to delicious and affordable dairy products, Alaska Milk recently unveiled a new campaign that shares ways with moms on how they can easily add nourishment to kids’ favorite meals while making them extra appetizing. The secret? Just add milk.  

“Alaska products, including Alaska Classic Evaporated Filled Milk and Alaska Classic Sweetened Condensed Filled Milk are made of real milk,” explains Ms. Star Estacio, Marketing Director of Alaska Milk. “They have the delicious taste and nutrition that real milk offers, so by simply adding  them to everyday dishes, you’re serving your family something that’s not just undeniably yummy but even more masustansya  With Alaska, napakadali talagang gawing SustansyaYUM ang pang araw araw na pagkain. , kahit simpleng  homemade gravy na pang-partner sa favorite fried dishes ng mga bata. We created a 5-minute, 5-ingredient Alaska SustansyaYUM gravy recipe that moms can easily make at home to elevate the usual fried chicken, fried porkchop, etc. that she makes for her kids.  Adding milk to dishes is the ultimate Alaska cooking hack.”

The launch of the new campaign coincides with the reveal of the brand’s newest and biggest endorser, no other than multi-awarded actress, chef, entrepreneur, and proud mom and homemaker, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo.

 

“Alaska Milk’s purpose has always been to nourish Filipino dreams; one we can truly say we’ve continuously been pursuing for years. Today, we take a more proactive approach to this mission by partnering with an individual who, time and again, uses the full extent of her capabilities and influence for the same purpose. Judy Ann Santos is not just an accomplished actress, she is a mom and a purpose-driven influencer who sees food as a tool to help better the lives of those around her. She is—without a doubt—the best celebrity out there right now to represent Alaska Milk and what we stand for,” adds Estacio.

 

For moms who need a little help getting started on delicious and nutritious SustansyaYUM recipes using Alaska Milk, Alaska Nanay Club’s website has a wide collection for you. From appetizers and merienda to mains and desserts—even the envisioned soon-to-be-household staple SustansyaYUM gravy—you can find them all at www.alaskananayclub.com.

“We encourage everyone—especially young moms and all who are new to cooking—to give the recipes from our Alaska Nanay Club website a try. We continue to work with chefs, nutritionists, and fellow moms to ensure that our recipes are easy-to-prepare, sakto sa panlasa ng pamilya, at masustansya. Even Judy Ann herself uses recipes from the Alaska Nanay Club website.”

Gatorade, the official electrolyte drink of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, becomes a part of athletes’ winning legacy

Dwight Ramos has powered through rigorous training sessions and tune up games against select teams from Europe, as well as the Ukraine U-21 team in Estonia and Lithuania.

 

This Gilas Pilipinas key player refuses to be slowed down by injury — and a big part of injury prevention is proper exercise and hydration. By fueling up and replenishing electrolytes lost during games and practice, Ramos doesn’t miss out on any session in between flights from Manila to China for tune up games.

 

Now in the final stages of Gilas’ prep behind closed doors, Ramos can go the extra mile with Gatorade, the official electrolyte partner of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023.

 

Staying hydrated is the key to longevity - proven quite a number of times by another key player for Gilas and resident import of Barangay Ginebra - Justin Brownlee - who had to learn this lesson the hard way.

Amidst uncomfortable playing conditions in the Cambodia Southeast Asian Games earlier this year, Brownlee battled with cramps and had to miss a crucial part of the match due to fluid loss.

 

“His legs were cramping up due to the heat and exhaustion,” said Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes when the Philippines lost 68-79 to host team Cambodia in a match played under 41-degree weather.

 

However, the six-time PBA champion bounced back stronger and more determined than ever to lead Gilas in their redemption tour, bringing the SEA Games gold medal within reach.

 

After all, in every 40-minute, high stakes game, players need to give their all while battling fatigue and exhaustion. That’s why Gatorade, the official electrolyte drink of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, plays a valuable role in the biggest basketball stage.

Players need to keep rehydrating with the necessary fluids and replacing lost electrolytes to keep them playing longer and the Gatorade formula has been proven to do just that by scientists, nutritionists, and world class athletes for more than 50 years. 

 

With qualifying teams all over the world coming to the Philippines, the tournament can expect the world’s number 1 sports drink to keep world class players fueled up for every match.

 

To date, other countries have completed their lineup, while the Gilas Pilipinas coaching staff will finalize the final national roster after a round of friendly games with other participating countries. 

 

Among those expected to play are Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic (Slovenia), Denver Nuggets’ Jamal Murray (Canada), Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada), Utah Jazz's Lauri Markkanen (Finland), Chicago Bulls' Nikola Vucevic (Montenegro) and Gatorade’s own ambassador from the Minnesota Timberwolves, Karl Anthony Towns (Dominican Republic).

 

Representing the Philippines, Utah Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson will don the Gilas blue jersey, rallying the country’s best athletes towards victory

 

With these basketball superstars on the stage, Gatorade is sure to make history one bottle and one game at a time.

Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Michelle Marquez Dee, teams up with PLDT Home for Kadayawan 2023!

Festivals are at the heart of Filipino culture, celebrating the country’s rich heritage with vibrant and lively events each year. This is also the best time for communities, families, and friends to gather together and celebrate. 

 

One of the country’s biggest festivals is Davao’s Kadayawan Festival. Held every August, it’s a thanksgiving event that celebrates bountiful harvests, nature, and the city’s history and heritage.

It was Unli Fun in Kadayawan with Miss Universe Philippines 2023 and PLDT Home Ambassador Michelle Marquez-Dee

 

In 2023, the festival celebrated its 38th year, with the theme “Colors of Abundance, Vibrance of Diversity, Festival of Festivals, the 'Pag-abli sa Kadayawan,” and ran from August 10-20. It was a return to form for the festival with tourists flocking to the city to witness the many events and festivities.
