Along with the temperature starting to rise, the stronger the desire to set foot in a destination away from the stress of the city gets. With this, you may want to catch up on that well-deserved rest you’ve been dreaming of since the year began, or dream of embarking on a new adventure. Either way, a spectacular view is also one of the things on top of us Filipinos’ checklists when deciding which places to visit during the summer season.

Here are a few places you can check out before heading on to your next summer escapade. Be sure to bring along your Samsung Galaxy A8 to capture each new memory!

1. Bolinao Falls, Pangasinan

Half an hour away from the town proper is a spectacular view hidden along the plains of Bolinao. The Bolinao Falls is one of the most popular tourist spots in Pangasinan because there’s a lot to do here, from taking a refreshing dip at the pool to cliff jumping. Whether it’s you or your friend diving in, enjoy the water worry-free thanks to the waterproof feature of your Galaxy A8! Bolinao Falls’ cool blue green waters are the perfect for scenery and wide shots – so strike your best pose mid-air before diving in!

2. Bantayan Island, Cebu

This white sand wonder can be found off the coast of northern Cebu. Considered as one of Cebu’s hidden gems, Bantayan Island slowly made its way to social media popularity due to many tourists being struck in awe of its white sand and crystal clear water. Nevertheless, this laidback hideaway is the perfect place to lazily watch the sun and get that relaxation you crave. So whether you’re a sunrise or sunset junkie, capture the moment and make it last as long (or as short!) as you want with the Galaxy A8’s hyper lapse mode.

3. Chocolate Hills Adventure Park, Bohol

Just when you thought Bohol’s famous Chocolate Hills couldn’t get any better, the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park can give you that adrenaline rush you’ve been waiting for this summer season. A must try among tourists is its bicycle zipline that’s 150 feet up in the air, placed between two hills over half a kilometer apart from each other. While you’re up above, don’t forget to capture the breathtaking views! Thanks to Galaxy A8’s Digital Image Stabilization, you’ll be able to share clear, blur-free photos with your friends the moment you hit the ground.

After your zipline adventure, also check out the adventure park’s hiking trails and campsite that allow you to relax and simply take in the photogenic view from the hills.

4. Bonbon Beach and Sandbar, Romblon Island

Just around 5 kilometers away from downtown Romblon is this beautiful beach and sandbar that doesn’t need even a speck of post-processing because of the complementing shades of blue that the Bonbon Beach sky and waters offer. What’s good about this place is that it doesn’t have any commercialized amenities in the area yet, making it a beautiful backdrop for your lone islander-inspired shots. Whip out your phone and take photos whenever you want, the Galaxy A8’s water and dust resistant feature will make sure nothing will stop you from getting the perfect shot. Remember, though, to head to the sandbar during low tide season to fully enjoy the shoreline.

With each picturesque destination, must also come a phone that will allow you to capture the beauty in each place without losing the magic in each moment. What better companion to take with you on your next summer adventure than the Galaxy A8 and A8+?

Designed to capture the best of everything, the Galaxy A8 and A8+ sports a 16 MP rear and 16MP+8MP Dual Front Camera. It also has a Live Focus feature, video digital image stabilization (VDis) technology, and hyper lapse feature that you can play around and customize your photos and videos with.

It’s also equipped with IP68 water and dust resistance, pushing you to capture even the rockiest but one of a kind experiences. And even after all the action’s over, the Galaxy A8 and A8+ allows you to relive your experiences all over again with its Infinity Display, designed with an immersive 18.5:9 display ratio that gives you a cinematic feel when viewing your photos and videos

The Galaxy A8 (2018) and A8+ (2018) is available in select Samsung dealers nationwide. For more details, visit the Samsung Facebook page or log on to samsung.com/ph.

One of the things that we want to know about our favorite artist/actress/actor is about their love life. Some they don't want to talk about it, some they are so open and tell all their supporters about their status when it comes to their love life.
Ria Atayde is the daughter of Ms. Sylvia Sanchez and her brother is Arjo Atayde, who is open to talk about her love life, though she shared that she don't have any boyfriend (dyowa) as of the moment. But when I ask her about the qualities of a guy that she likes, she said the guy should be:

1. Family Oriented
2. God Fearing
3. Caring
4. Thoughtful
5. He will give Ria an independence

Those are the qualities she likes, so to all guys out there what are you waiting for?

According to Ria, she wants to get married when she is already 30s, but still she doesn't want to pressure herself, "when it comes, dadating yun" Ria said.

She also shared that their usual family bonding is food and movies. They see to it that their Family should spend time on a Sunday together.
Ria shared that when she was a teenager, she doesn't want to be an actress but where she is right now. She's happy being an actress. I guess it's in her genes, that's why she's into acting.

With this, Ria will be at MMK (Maalala Mo Kaya) on April 14 together with Ian Veneracion and Angel Aquino in its story about the National Artist, Cesar Legaspi's story. She will play the role of Celeste Legaspi in the episode directed by Jeffrey Jeturia.

I live here in Quezon City and I finished my study here in Quezon City as well. I'm sure my parents don't want me to go through the horror of traffic and take note that was during my time. Now, I think it is much worse and I'm pretty much sure that no parents would want their kids to go through today's dreaded traffic. I'm so glad that my parents were so very protective of me and they sought my safety to have a good education.

Now that I am a parent and knows how hard to travel with that traffic, as much as possible I will not let my kids go through that, but it's up to them. I want them to enjoy their school days, their learning and of course get fond of their memories. Preferably I don't want them to remember school days as traffic struggles. So I might just let try the schools here in Quezon City.

Managing the millennials. perhaps one good problem that Ms. Ai Ai Delas Alas faces today as she manages the latest youtube sensation that really hit the internet waves with their hit music video, “Hayaan Mo Sila”. So by the title of the song I’m sure you’ve hit it and guessed it already. Yes Ms. Ai Ai Delas Alas has decided to be the manager of the group Ex Battalion or ExB .

As part of being their manager, Ms Ai Ai for sure will be moving the music and entertainment industry to make the group even more resonating to everyone. One of the group’s latest gig is being the endorser of one of the streetwear apparel, RRJ of which fluently get along with the style of Ex Battalion.



During the press launch of RRJ, Ms. Ai Ai shared that “I first heard about the rapper band last year,” “I wanted to record a song and a writer on my show told me na kung gusto ko raw mag-hit ang song ko, isama ko ang Ex-Battalion. Sabi ko, ‘Foreigner ba sila?’ The writer told me, ‘i-research mo sa internet’. That’s how I got to know the group.”

When Ms. Ai Ai coordinated with them, the members of Ex-Battalion didn’t believed at first and having thoughts that it might be a scam but then again Ms. Ai Ai pursued meeting them and becoming their manager.

Ms. Ai Ai, as manager, considers the boys (members of Ex-Battalion) as her “mga anak”. She really feels like their mother since she’s Ex-Battalion’s first manager. She promised to sort out the boys’ schedule and also their earnings.


Now, we will have another group to look up to and listen to. I’m already having LSS of their song Hayaan Mo Sila.
