As the back-to-school season sweeps across the Philippines, the bustling streets witness a surge of students gearing up for a fresh academic year. Commuting to and from schools becomes a daily routine, and motorcycles, a prevalent mode of transportation, play a significant role. To ensure a safe journey for both riders and their young passengers, education about motorcycle safety is paramount. In a timely collaboration with industry giants Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha, the Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association, Inc. (MDPPA) is taking the initiative to impart crucial safety tips, making this school year’s commute a smooth and secure one.
Philippine Motorcycle Laws: A Reminder of Responsibility
In the realm of Philippine motorcycle laws, adherence is not just encouraged—it’s mandatory. The Children’s Safety on Motorcycle Act of 2015 stands as a beacon for riders with young passengers. The law prohibits driving a motorcycle with a child on board in areas with heavy traffic volume. However, specific conditions must be met, ensuring the child can reach the foot pegs comfortably and firmly grasp the rider. Upholding these specifics underscores the paramount importance of child safety.
Gear Up for Safety: An Investment in Protection
Parents should consider safety gear as an indispensable investment for their young riders. A durable helmet, a legal requirement under the Motorcycle Helmet Act of 2009, should take precedence to shield the child from head injuries. Beyond helmets, investing in gloves, elbow and knee pads, non-slip footwear, and reflective gear elevates safety levels, promoting visibility and protection on the road.
Mastering the Motorcycle: The Art of Safe Riding
Though riding a motorcycle may seem straightforward, it demands a nuanced understanding of correct techniques and practices. From mounting the bike to maintaining the right posture and navigating diverse road conditions, there’s more than meets the eye. MDPPA is actively developing educational programs, inviting everyone to learn and embrace the nuances of traffic safety.
Nurturing Tomorrow’s Riders: Teaching Road Safety to Children
In nurturing responsible riders of tomorrow, educating children about road safety is pivotal. Familiarizing them with specific traffic rules and regulations for motorcycle riders, emphasizing proper lane usage, signaling, and adherence to traffic signs, sets a solid foundation. Instilling the importance of being alert on the road and identifying potential hazards equips young riders with the knowledge to ride responsibly.
Prioritizing Safety: A Collective Responsibility
As the academic year commences, the focus must shift to prioritizing motorcycle safety for students, parents, and schools alike. Understanding Philippine motorcycle laws, investing in quality safety gear, and imparting road safety education to children are key steps toward fostering a safer commuting environment. MDPPA remains steadfast in its commitment to championing safer roads for Filipino students by engaging with educational institutions through free Generation Road Safety Seminars across the country.

In the heart of the Scottish Highlands, nestled among the picturesque hills, lies a moss-covered sanctuary that holds a unique enchantment – Shrek’s Swamp. This Halloween, Donkey, the ever-chatty and beloved character from DreamWorks Animation’s SHREK, is temporarily taking charge of the swamp. In a delightful twist, he’s opening the doors to fairytale enthusiasts, inviting them to live like an ogre in this mystical abode.
Donkey’s Invitation
Donkey, known for his wit and humor, enthusiastically welcomes guests to Shrek’s Swamp. He can’t help but gush about the beauty of the swamp, with its overgrown greenery, modest interiors, and characteristic boulders. He eagerly looks forward to sharing this muddy slice of paradise with visitors, offering a chance to experience the allure of Shrek’s world up close.
The Fairytale Stay
Shrek’s Swamp, a former refuge for fairytale creatures, transcends the ordinary with its clever use of forestry, rustic interiors, and iconic outhouse.

The Enchanting Experience
Guests at Shrek’s Swamp are in for a treat, embracing the layered ogre life. They’ll be captivated by the ambiance of “earwax candlelight,” a unique and immersive experience that only Shrek’s abode can offer. They can relax by the fire, sharing stories late into the night, savoring parfaits, and indulging in stacks of freshly made waffles come morning. And, of course, they can relish the ultimate privacy of Shrek’s trusted outhouse.
How to Embark on this Fairytale
For those eager to immerse themselves in this fairytale escape, bookings open on October 13 at 6 p.m. BST / October 14 at 1 a.m. PHT on airbnb.com/shrek. While guests are responsible for their travel to and from Scotland, Airbnb sweetens the deal by making a one-time donation to the HopScotch Children’s Charity, enhancing the magic for Scotland’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
Important Details
It’s essential to note that this two-night stay is not a contest but a genuine opportunity to experience Shrek’s Swamp. Guests will find the bathroom located 20 meters from the main living area in a standalone facility. Shrek’s Swamp is independently owned and operated by the esteemed Ardverikie Estate.
Come, be a part of this fantastical journey into Shrek’s world and create your own fairytale memories amidst the enchanting beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

About DreamWorks Animation’s SHREK
For the past two decades, children of all ages have been enchanted by the delightfully irreverent adventures of a frightfully misunderstood ogre and his ragtag group of roguish fairytale folk. Beginning with Shrek, the 2002 Academy Award® winner for Best Animated Feature, Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots and their signature friends, family and tormentors have grown into an indelible part of pop culture – through a series of four films that have earned more than $2.9 billion and spawned a global live-touring show, an immersive, top-tourist destination in London, as well as popular events and attractions across Universal Studios Parks worldwide.

In an effort to bolster access to safe and quality liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) products across the Philippines, trusted LPG brand Solane has forged a strategic partnership with GCash, the leading finance superapp. This collaboration aims to provide Solane LPG users with flexible payment options and enhance the accessibility of clean cooking fuel.
Bridging the Gap in Cooking Fuel Accessibility
Despite technological advancements, a significant portion of Filipinos, approximately 54%, still rely on traditional cooking fuels like charcoal and fuelwood, contributing to elevated levels of air pollutants and associated health and environmental hazards. Rising commodity prices have led to the proliferation of unregulated or substandard alternatives to LPG, posing a threat of fires and explosions. To combat these challenges and broaden access to safe kitchen fuel, Solane LPG has joined hands with GCash.
Enabling Flexible Payment Options
The collaboration allows Solane LPG users to conveniently pay for their LPG tanks and refills using their GCash wallet. Through GCash Scan-to-Pay facilities, users can settle their payments at select distributor and retail partners. Additionally, customers have the option to choose GCash as the payment method when placing orders through the Solane LPG app or the Solane web portal.
Credit Solutions for LPG Users
For eligible GCash users, the partnership offers the use of GCredit, GCash’s credit line powered by CIMB Bank, and GGives, a buy-now, pay-later installment option. These credit solutions empower users to purchase LPG refills even when facing financial constraints or limited cash availability.
Expanding Reach and Enhancing Customer Experience
Apart from enhancing the customer experience for existing Solane LPG users, the collaboration with GCash is seen as a strategic move to expand Solane’s market reach. GCash boasts over 80 million registered users, with a significant portion hailing from lower socioeconomic classes, including areas outside Metro Manila. The partnership is strategically aligned with Solane LPG’s goal of affordability, providing an affordable payment option for individuals previously reliant on traditional fuels.
Driving Nationwide Distribution and Innovation
The integration of GCash scan-to-pay facilities is anticipated to propel Solane LPG’s nationwide distribution system, comprising over 80 distributors and approximately 11,000 points of sale across the Philippines. This partnership marks a significant step in incorporating digital payment technology into the LPG industry.
Pursuing a Cleaner, Safer Future
This collaboration with GCash is part of Solane LPG’s ongoing efforts to innovate and enhance its services for the domestic market. Previous initiatives, such as the Hatid Bahay delivery system and the 7-Point Safety Check, demonstrate Solane LPG’s commitment to providing convenient, safe, and reliable LPG products.
The partnership with GCash exemplifies the power of collaboration, bringing together like-minded missions to achieve a common goal of providing a safer and cleaner cooking fuel alternative for every Filipino household. Solane LPG remains dedicated to offering peace of mind with every LPG product sold, and partnerships like this contribute to that mission’s success.

In the relentless world of entrepreneurship, where time is a prized asset, it’s easy for health to take a back seat. The relentless pursuit of business success often leaves small business owners grappling with burnout and neglecting their well-being. However, in the grand scheme of business triumphs, a healthy mind and body are indispensable.
Meal Planning: Fuel Your Venture
Ensuring your body gets the right fuel is non-negotiable. Meal planning might seem like an extra chore, but it’s an investment in your productivity. Busy entrepreneurs can benefit from meal prepping during weekends, portioning out ready-to-reheat servings for the week.
Creative Exercise: Moving Amidst the Hustle
Finding time for exercise can be a challenge, but creativity can solve this. Incorporate light exercises into your work routine. Standing desks and walking pads can help you stay active while tending to business tasks.
Caring for Your Vision: A Bright Outlook
Long hours in front of screens can strain your eyes. Prioritize eye health by taking short breaks, adjusting screen brightness to match the environment, and avoiding excessively bright screens in dimly lit spaces.

Stress is an inevitable companion on the entrepreneurial journey. Combat it with mindfulness techniques like yoga, meditation, and tai chi. These practices not only promote mental clarity but also enhance heart health and overall well-being.

In the Philippines, family isn’t just a unit; it’s a cornerstone of life. In a nation deeply rooted in Catholic faith, family values are not just cherished; they’re celebrated with fervor and commitment. National Family Week, held annually during the last week of September, is a testament to the enduring importance of family in the hearts of every Filipino.
The Heartbeat of National Family Week
National Family Week in the Philippines transcends the realm of festivities. It stands as a platform to reinforce the very essence of family values, unity, and solidarity. At its core, this week encourages introspection, prompting families and friends across the nation to reflect on their shared values and how these values can manifest in their daily lives. Values like respect, love, and loyalty form the bedrock of Filipino family dynamics, embodying the spirit of National Family Week.
A Call to Prioritize Family
This week-long celebration prompts numerous organizations, companies, and sectors nationwide to organize various campaigns and activities, stressing the vital role of families from diverse backgrounds in society. It serves as a gentle reminder for individuals and the public to prioritize their families and actively nurture the bonds they share.
Addressing Critical Family Issues
National Family Week also provides a crucial platform to raise awareness about issues that affect families across the nation. These issues range from poverty and limited access to education and healthcare to the scourge of domestic violence. By shedding light on these challenges, the government and various organizations work together to create a more family-friendly environment that nurtures the well-being of every family member.
A Historical Commitment to Families
The roots of National Family Week in the Philippines run deep, stemming from the proclamation signed by then-President Fidel V. Ramos in 1992. This act wasn’t just a procedural formality; it was a heartfelt recognition of families’ pivotal role in shaping the nation’s social fabric. The proclamation underscores the enduring commitment to the values and unity that define Filipino families.
Camella: Building Homes, Fostering Families
In this celebration of family values, Camella Homes stands as a beacon, renowned for constructing quality homes that cater to the unique needs of Filipino families. Its unwavering commitment aligns seamlessly with the spirit of National Family Week, as they strive to provide a secure and nurturing environment for families across the nation.
Creative Celebrations by Camella
