During this sensitive time of hardships and disconnection, now more than ever is it important to hold our dear ones closer. Furthermore, the spirit of joy and giving is upon us all. It is truly the season of helping those who are having a much harder time in life. Since volunteering might still pose a risk, however, donating would be the best help you could give. After all, not everyone may have the privilege of knowing about Santa Clause, but everyone will know kindness. So if you have extra in your Brittany Corporation luxury homes, we encourage you to share your blessings with those in need. But don’t worry because it is easy to do so with all the awareness being spread by NGOs and similar organizations. In fact, there are a lot of charities to donate to all year round.

Charities to Donate to that Help Filipino Children

U! Happy Events

U! Happy Events is a good place to start. Founded in 2006, what started as a small group of volunteers making positive change in the marginalized children sector, is now also a platform for individuals and organizations to help in more ways than one. You may volunteer to be a kuya or ate for the children during charity events, create an event (e.g., Christmas party for children), teach a valuable skill or share your talent with the children during workshops, or simply donate monetary support or goods. From the variety of charities to donate to through U! Happy Events, their mission is to promote a culture of volunteering and giving by connecting partners to marginalized children through creative and meaningful activities. As of today, they have 102 active partner beneficiaries, 101 partner company sponsors, 77 core team members, 15,500 volunteer involvement, and have reached 10,100 children.

PREDA Foundation

PREDA (People’s Recovery, Empowerment Development Assistance) Foundation is a Philippine human rights social development organization working for 40 years through fair trade practices to help the poorest and most vulnerable people in society and overcome injustice and poverty. Its mission is to initiate social transformation through the 12 projects of PREDA. Each of them has its own separate budget, bank account, and bookkeeping for transparency and verifiable accountability. Therefore, if you are looking for charities to donate to, here are five that target the youth:

Childhood For Children (CFC)

PREDA social workers rescue children from sexually abusive situations at home, in the streets, or at brothels. This project provides residential homes for rescued girls, complete with a therapeutic recovery program with emotional expression therapy and family therapy counseling. Here, girls are taught to regain a sense of confidence, dignity, self-love, and education required to earn a living with decency and no harm.

Legal Services 

PREDA provides legal assistance in prosecuting abusers, and helps defend innocent children accused of crimes.

Rescue Every Child Today (REACT)

This PREDA project targets children and minors in conflict with the law. The team visits jails all over Central Luzon to work on the cases of children so that they can be rescued from the harsh conditions of their environments. One major campaign is to help children prove to the court that they are minors so that they can be sent to residential centers where they can still grow into law-abiding citizens. They are taught with therapeutic activities such as art classes, non-formal education, skills training, organic farming, counseling, and values formation in a non-detention, open “Home for Boys”. Clients remain by free choice, with 74% retention rate.

Public Education and Preventive Seminars (PEPS)

This PREDA team visits provinces to provide workshops and seminars to public school students, teachers, community leaders, and church leaders. The main topic of the workshops is child abuse prevention.

Special Human Rights Education (SHARE)

This PREDA team lobbies human rights awareness to Barangay communities, especially on the Juvenile Justice bill, Cyber-law against child pornography, and legal and prison reform for child protection. They also train volunteers to be “Guardians ad Litem” (RA 7610) appointed by the court and be legal guardians of children in need of legal protection and help.

Angel House Orphanage

Angel House Orphanage is one of the charities to donate to because they solely rely on sponsors to care for children. Currently, their major sponsor is Moms against Poverty, a US-based NGO that supports a variety of charities in different developing countries. The Angel House Orphanage Foundation opened in June 2010 and is fully registered, licensed and accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Therefore you can encourage your friends and partners from other parts of the world to donate to this legitimate charity. Apart from housing and educating vulnerable children who have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, or neglected. Located in Davao Oriental, it stands as a safe haven for armed war-torn communities.

Tahanan Sta. Luisita

Tahanan Sta. Luisa is a crisis intervention center for girls who have been subjects of exploitation and abuse in Manila. The girls are referred to the center by Childhope Asia Philippines, city and municipal social welfare and development units, hospitals, police, other NGOs, and volunteer advocates. Then, the girls are offered education, therapy, and skills training for girls to learn to fully recover and become independent women. Sometimes, Tahanan Sta. Luisa also helps girls reunite with their families if they are good influences to the children, and empower them to seek a dignified life. At the center, girls are provided with food, clothes, and parental love and care by volunteer parent figures. For girls who are experiencing behavioral problems or traumatic responses, the center has partner mental health institutions to provide psychiatric care for those in need. The true purpose of Tahanan Sta. Luisita is, as its name implies, to be a home for girls who did not feel a sense of home or family in their backgrounds. 

The Personal Benefits of Helping Charities to Donate to

Aside from the positive impact on the lives of beneficiaries, charity work has some positive effects on the helper as well.

Make a Difference

People who help gain a more profound sense of self because of the difference that they make with their help. Remember that every help counts and it goes a long way. The child that you help today may be able to help someone else in the future too because of the help he or she has felt from you.

Be a Part of a Community

One great thing about volunteering is that you do not help alone. You will make new connections and leaders to look up to or find friends with. You will be part of a community of generous and selfless people, which may not always be easy to find. You will also be part of the community that you are helping, receiving appreciation from the children. And if you become a full-time volunteer, the children will come to know you as part of their lives.

Gain Positive New Experiences

Going out of your comfort zone to help others boosts confidence and self-esteem. You also get to learn new skills related to community services such as communication, empathy, critical decision-making, and caregiving. In terms of career, it helps to include your charity work in job interviews as well.

Donate from Home

You can donate anything you have in excess, such as clothes that no longer fit you or serve a purpose | Photo by Sarah Brown on Unsplash

Brittany Corporation encourages volunteerism and charity. If you would like to donate in-kind, make sure to sweep your entire house and lot of any items that you no longer need. A good trick is giving yourself a time frame, such as choosing to dispose of items that you have not used in the past six months. Not only do you provide for others without spending a cent, but you also declutter your luxury homes. After all, minimalism is the new trend right now. After collecting items that you would like to donate, search or contact NGOs to figure out where you can deliver or drop off said items. This way, it is mostly contactless and safe for everybody. 

Aside from your things, you can also donate in cash easily to the NGOs, but make sure that you know where your money is going. You can even ask their contact person if you could choose where to allot the money, whether it be food, clothing, or improvement of facilities. Other than that, you can also sponsor a child or a whole organization. Providing constant support will surely be of best help to your chosen charity to donate to. Lastly, spread awareness on the problems that you want to address in society and share with your community the many ways to help this holiday season of giving.

2021 is nearly at an end and it is not an easy year for many. People went through their own hurdles and struggles on top of the COVID-19 pandemic. It certainly was a challenge for people who are financially independent or at least trying to be so. Various health choices required more spending, like buying face masks, getting tested for the virus, and getting health insurance. Having a new year’s resolution could really be the change you need.

Now 2022 is just around the corner and people need a change for the better. One would want to be more prepared and have a sense of financial security amidst the pandemic. This is to make sure that one can at least afford all the things he needs to stay healthy and afloat while giving him some peace of mind that he does not have to go bankrupt if ever he has to make an important purchase or gets sick. For these reasons, you may be thinking of having your own financial new year’s resolutions. 

Having a new year’s resolution does not only inspire somebody to make conscious efforts to make the new year more enjoyable for herself, but it also reminds someone of her goals when it matters. Decisions that are hard to make are sure to confront people in 2022, as they do every year, so they have to be prepared. When written down and taken seriously, your new year’s resolution may just guide you to make the best decisions in difficult situations, and when it comes to finances, you would want to make choices that you are going to thank yourself for later in life. This is why you need some money-related resolutions, like the ones listed in this blog.

End That Vice

Aside from vices being harmful to one’s mental and physical health, they can also be very costly. People basically pay money just for these unhealthy habits to provide a short-term pleasure, not paying attention to all the downsides that outweigh whatever pleasure they may derive from these. You can make excuses about your vice of choice, but you have to admit that facts will never be on your side and really, they just are not good for you.

Whether you have a detailed plan or it’s cold turkey, starting to stop is highly beneficial. | Photo from Patcharanan Worrapatchareeroj, Getty Images via Verywell Mind

One thing people should know by now is that they have to take really good care of their bodies, so their immune systems can help combat serious mental and physical illnesses. If one’s body is healthy, he can do more and save a lot of money that would otherwise cover inhumane amounts in hospital bills. Health really is wealth. 

Go seek some help so you can stop smoking, drinking, and gambling, among others. These habits will not achieve anything good in the long run. Anything else done in unhealthy excess can also be considered a vice, like for example spending a lot of money on an online game when one has more important things to pay for. People who spend a lot of money on unnecessary things often regret their choices afterward when they move from one obsession to another, so learn to resist. This is a popular new year’s resolution, but people rarely stick with it, so stay strong throughout the year. 

One purchase you would not regret, though? Luxury homes from Brittany Corporation. Go get the dream house and lot you have been eyeing for a while now. Visit the Brittany Corporation website for properties for sale, condo for sale, and house and lot for sale. People often just wish to have their coveted luxury house and lot for sale, only to end up splurging on pointless and low-reward stuff. This coming year, make sure to have a goal and stick with it. Do not get distracted by short-term pleasures. 

Get Into Minimalism

There is a great reason why the minimalist lifestyle has been gaining popularity lately. Not only does it make people’s lives more peaceful in general, but it also saves them a lot of space and money.

Minimalism is a lifestyle that one can apply to any facet of her life. She can use it in the big and “important” parts of her life, like her marriage. If the relationship has been toxic for years already without any hope for change, then she may consider getting separated from her partner. Minimalism can also be applied in the smaller things, such as everyday expenses and the stuff in her room. She can donate, give, or throw away the clothes she does not wear anymore. She can also refrain from buying coffee-to-go when she can just have some coffee at home to save some money. Little by little, being a minimalist can help you become the best version of yourself.

It does not mean that one has to throw away stuff pointlessly and stop getting things that she actually enjoys. The point to minimalism is to make some room for the things that one actually loves. Do you want to be with good and caring friends? Start by letting go of the toxic, undeserving ones. Do you want to have more space for your art supplies? Consider clearing a room in your house of all the clothes, shoes, and random things you do not need anymore. Minimize the clutter and maximize your space for the things that are important to you. 

Sometimes, though, it becomes so hard to choose stuff to throw away, because you have many hobbies and interests, and very little space. With luxury homes, this will never be an issue. Check out Brittany Corporation for some properties for sale, condo for sale, and house and lot for sale. Get yourself a house and lot that will have more than enough space for you and your family’s needs and wants. 

Do Free and Low-Cost Things That Make You Feel Rich

Sometimes people spend money, because they want to feel wealthy, or even look like it to other people. There may be some clients and in-laws that they are trying to impress, or friends from social circles they want to keep up with. Before you go any further on this blog, please know that real friends will never require you to keep up with them, if doing so costs you an arm and a leg.

There are things that one can do to feel and look rich without having to spend a lot of money. One thing that one can do is to buy necessities in bulk. Having some extra supplies of the things you need at home can make you feel very fortunate. Have you ever run out of basic things like milk, tissues, or even soap, and discovered that you need not worry because you have some extra in your cupboard? This beats having to run to the convenience store every time. This also will save you a lot of cash, compared with getting things in small amounts. 

Another thing that can make you feel rich is to groom your pet yourself. This will not cost you more than a bottle of dog shampoo, but you will definitely feel rich walking around the neighborhood with a well-groomed dog. Having time for leisurely activities like this is also a sign of affluence because what it says about you is that you can spare some time for personal activities and not feel a lot of pressure to be working instead. Other free and low-cost activities that you can do to look and feel rich are exercising, having a tidy home, and wearing clothes that fit. 

Get Into the Stock Market

The pandemic had a lot of economic impacts on different countries. There was a stock market crash last year in the summer and there is no predicting when the COVID-19 recession will end. One may think that this is the absolute worst time in her life to invest, but the opposite is true. Getting shares and trading stocks is a great decision when stock market prices are down, because they are bound to get higher.

Consider getting shares from blue-chip companies, because you know they are going to be around in the next decades. Making this choice will get you invested in businesses at a low cost and the risk is also minimal with blue-chip companies. Stop procrastinating on trading and adopt this new year’s resolution now while it is the best time for it. 

Another solid investment that you can make is getting that luxury house and lot for sale. Brittany Corporation is known for its luxury homes, so check out their properties for sale, condo for sale, and house and lot for sale. You will not regret buying that house and lot you have been dreaming of for a long time now.

Conclusion

People have their own ways to stay afloat in these difficult times, but some people often never reconsider the choices they make, leading them to spend more, instead of less. It is a time when we have to make our best decisions, so changing the things and habits that no longer serve us is a must.

Go get that planner or any piece of paper and start planning your year with the new year’s resolutions above in mind. You may cut yourself some slack from time to time, but do not allow yourself to deviate so much from your goals, especially in difficult times, when sticking to your goals matters the most. It is never too early to start saving for that luxury house and lot for sale that you want.

The Philippines has been in a state of calamity for almost two years now. Several lockdowns and restrictions were made to contain the COVID-19 virus. People are advised to stay at home may it be in their luxury homes or simple houses. No one could go out for quite some time. Different types of quarantines were implemented a month after the other to identify the best strategy that will be beneficial to many. Due to these numerous lockdowns, quarantines, and restrictions, the Philippines even made it to the international headline of being a nation with one of the longest lockdowns.

Many countries are experiencing Covid-19 differently. We all have different immune system responses. We don’t have to be tested positive. This article talks about the pandemic in the Philippines and how we can stop this communicable disease.

The Philippines in the Pandemic

Everyone was troubled because of this unforeseen dilemma. No one’s ready to be facing this kind of problem. The big and the small people were challenged and distressed. Companies, businesses, and establishments were affected, affecting all its employees and people. Some companies closed, and some needed to lay off employees to survive in the middle of the pandemic. Some families struggled a lot because the provider lost his job. These are just a few of what the pandemic has caused to people. This is just the economic side. Sickness and death are still not counted in this, but you see how damaging this was to the life of many.

In the early pandemic, people are prohibited to go out. And if one will go out, facemask, face shield, and social distancing are already part of the game. You couldn’t recognize people right away, and the worst part is you cannot mingle, give hugs and kisses to the people you love most. Everything was online and face-to-face is taboo. Everyone got bored, and some reached their bottom and were caught with depression. The pandemic is a whole lot of challenges that touched and disturb the very core of every human. 

The government on the other side was focused on how to limit these kinds of harm. Webinars about well-being, provision of necessities, strict guidelines for outdoor activities, and strategic ways of vaccination rollout were implemented. But these are all not enough because people have their beliefs and their rights whether to get vaccinated or not. Some comply, and some have their stand.

Vaccination and its Importance to the Nation

The Department of Health calls the attention of people to share in the responsibility of vaccination, but since it’s not required, people have the free will and their choice to respond in a way that will be most peaceful for them. With the government’s power, recently, October 30 to December 1st were declared Vaccination Day to accommodate workers to have their vaccines and to fasten the vaccination rollout.

Vaccination is important. It doesn’t just keep a person protected and healthy, but it also prevents the people around you from being sick especially the most vulnerable ones- the children, the elders, and the ones who are already sick.

Vaccination doesn’t just work against disease or death; it helps save lives especially today when a lot of lives are already gone.

Vaccines also work for the benefit of the economy. The government has been encouraging people to get their vaccines done to help in the revival of the economy. As soon as the nation reached its immunization goal, the economy has a greater chance to bounce back. 

As of December 8, 2021, according to Statistica Research Department around 39.56 million people were already vaccinated in the Philippines including those who received first dose vaccines only. Roughly 54.03 million people are just waiting for their second dose while 0.64 thousand already had their booster shot. 

COVID-19 vaccination in the Philippines started March 2021 and the goal is to reach 58 million people by the end of the year. 

Fruits of Being Fully Vaccinated

Apart from being a healthier person, you are being protected from a more serious effect of the COVID-19 virus as you allow yourself to take two jabs of COVID-19 vaccines. You are not just protecting yourself, but you are protecting the people around you, your family, and the most vulnerable ones.

Since vaccinations aren’t mandatory, the government, different companies, and several business establishments give extra merit or favors to those people who will cooperate to speed up the vaccine rollout.  In this way, citizens will be more enthusiastic and proactive in having their vaccines. Everyone is being creative in their ways to support the government’s drive towards herd immunity.

To be more fully convinced to be fully vaccinated, here are some advantages or favors you can receive from being fully vaccinated:  

1. Online Shopping Vouchers and Free Shipping 

As you stay in your luxury homes, you can relax and do your online shopping. The DOH partnered with an online shopping app to encourage Filipinos to get fully vaccinated to protect themselves and others. This perk includes free shipping and a 15% voucher discount on any of your transactions in the shopping app.

2. Restaurant Discounts After You Complete the Second Dose

Can’t afford properties for sale but you want to eat something good and affordable? If you are fully vaccinated, you can enjoy more of these. Many restaurants now give discounts and special offers to people who are fully vaccinated. It is either you get a discount or get a free add-on to your order. Since Filipinos love to eat, this is a great strategy to encourage them to get fully vaccinated. To know more about the restaurants that offer these perks, you may visit this site.

3. Staycation Offers Exclusive Discounts and Benefits

If in this season you can’t still afford a condo for sale or a house and lot for sale, why not enjoy luxury condo living on a vacation like those of Brittany Corporation? Trip.com launched a “Vaccinated Discount Campaign” that supports the vaccination drive in the Philippines. All customers who are fully vaccinated can enjoy luxury homes like staycations with exclusive discounts and benefits. You can visit Brittany Corporation’s website for luxury homes samples and available luxury homes for staycations.

4. Free Access to Enter Malls

Starting to get bored staying in your house and lot? You don’t have to prolong your boredom. Your vaccine cards will act as your identification cards as you enter malls or other establishments. Nowadays, malls and other business establishments follow a “no vaccine card, no entry” policy. It is not discrimination, but it is the company’s right to prioritize the protection of their customers and their people. Most of the malls and business establishments now look for vaccination cards to see if a person who will enter their vicinity is fully vaccinated.

5. Fashion Brands Gives Discounts to Fully Vaccinated Customers

One less thing to worry about this Christmas. As you roam around malls to find gifts for family and friends, it is easier to trim down stores you will consider from buying. You may want to consider stores or brands that offer discounts to fully vaccinated individuals. In this way, you may not afford your loved ones of properties for sale, but you can give them items from good brands at a cheaper cost.

These are just few of the fruits of being fully vaccinated. Not included in the list are having free popcorns from cinema, buy one take one milk teas, easy access for travel leisure, freedom to go on trippings to luxury house and lot for sale, and a lot more. Others may see it as bribes, but these are all for good especially if we all aspire to be back to normal soon. 

In all these benefits you just have to simply present one valid ID and your fully vaccinated card.

Vaccination is your public health responsibility | Photo from Unsplash Website

As you take your responsibility for public health, you are now freer to move around but of course still with proper health precautionary. In this case, you can now move more and do more. 

Prevent a Covid positive test result

Continue to stay at home especially if things aren’t urgent and important. Still, avoid crowded places, and if interested to meet up with family and friends, stay in open areas. Limit physical touch and continue social distancing. When feeling sick or with symptoms, just stay at home and don’t pretend like it’s just normal coughs or colds. Better be mindful and careful than sorry. Continue to use facemask as you talk to people. Stay healthy by eating nutritious food and adding vitamins to your intake. Exercise and do some stretching if possible. Take enough rest and always stay hydrated. 

These are simple steps to making yourself healthier and more protected. In this time and season, it is better to be healthy than anything in this world. If you want to achieve anything, give priority to your health. You can never accomplish your dream luxury homes at Brittany Corporation if you will take for granted your health. 

To live long is to live the best of life. 

If you want to live in your best and in the best property in the nation, you may want to check Brittany Corporation’s properties for sale. There is a condo for sale and a luxury house and lot for sale. More than the aesthetically made houses, they have competitive and aggressive sales officers that will help you as you look for your dream house and lot. They will help you understand the differences between a condo for sale and house and lot for sale to decide wisely.

Traveling nowadays is no longer simple as packing a bag and heading to an airport or going on a road trip. We need to keep ourselves updated with the new travel revamping.

The pandemic has changed the world in many ways, especially with how we travel. More and more countries and locations are opening up and lifting bans and restrictions as vaccination programs continue to roll out. Some braved going through the many restrictions, including securing a travel pass based on your test results. Some who are aching to go on a vacation invest in a house and lot or a condo for sale at a tourist destination to satiate that travel bug.

But for the many of us who simply wanted to go home for the holidays almost three years after the first wave of the virus hit, what are the factors we need to consider before we make our travel plans?

Travel Revamping and Tourism in the Philippines

If you are eyeing to spend your holidays or go on a long-deserved vacation at any of the top tourist destinations in the Philippines, good news! Balikbayans who are nationals of non-visa-required countries, former Filipinos, those traveling with a Filipino or former Filipino spouse or parent, and foreigners with valid and existing visas are allowed to travel to the Philippines. This is great, especially for those who plan to or have stalled their retirement plans, or those who plan to start the process of investing their hard-earned money in a luxury house and lot for sale for retirement.

Some of the re-opened destinations are also available to domestic tourists, as long as they comply with the travel requirements. Some locations still only allow leisure travel among locals.

Travel Revamping: Considerations

Here are some of the things you need to take into consideration when making your travel plans.

Testing, quarantine rules can get very restrictive for inbound travelers at the last minute

The Omicron variant is the latest coronavirus that has caused many countries to close borders and enact bans and restrictive travel requirements. While health authorities are still scrambling to determine whether the latest coronavirus variant has reached the country,  plans to open the Philippines to international tourists announced last month are now postponed. For inbound travelers outside the Philippines, they will undergo stricter testing and quarantine requirements starting December 3rd,  Friday, and will remain in effect until December 15. 

This means that for fully-vaccinated Filipino citizens, they are required to present a negative RT-PCR test result taken within 72 hours before departing from their origin country. They will also undergo facility-based quarantine upon arrival to the Philippines, and must retake a swab test upon the fifth day of their quarantine period. 

Minors are also required to follow the testing and quarantine guidelines of the parent or guardian that they are traveling with, regardless of the minor’s vaccination status and country of origin. This is an important part of the travel revamping.

This strategy is actually a common policy for almost all countries nowadays. A country closes its borders or imposes restrictive travel requirements to inbound travelers, especially if a new variant is detected. While there are medical advancements in sight for anyone to live in the “new normal” – which is a time where a biological threat can happen any time, it is expected that countries will enact bans and restrictions to curb the spread of infection. 

As such, travel insurance and other flexibility options are gaining attraction. People do not hesitate to opt into a flexibility option so they can cancel or rebook their trip for a new date just in case. They also choose hotels and other lodging facilities that have policies in place just in case you do get a positive result. 

Workcations are on the rise

At the very first few months into the pandemic, most of us are forced into our homes. Companies are then forced to offer flexible or work-from-home options to ensure that business will still be as usual. And with remote work being the norm despite the reopening of some locations, a workcation at a luxury house and lot in a tourist hotspot seems to be an attraction to many of us in the workforce.

If you have to work for eight hours a day, why not change your actual work environment and do it on a beach or in a mountain retreat? People are now open to combining work and pleasure when they book for a vacation. Luxury resorts and hotels are now paying attention to this need, and have even improved their WiFi services and business centers to ensure that their guests have the option to do uninterrupted work in comfort and style. 

Road trips are becoming popular

For many, going on a road trip to nearby locations like Tagaytay is a better option. For one thing, the travel requirements are not that restrictive. Second, some of these locations nearby offer a different perspective on things, in terms of the environment, food, and even climate.

For people who live in Metro Manila, a vacation means getting away from the city and heading to the nearby locations like Laguna, Quezon, La Union, and Baguio. But for those who wanted a quick getaway, Tagaytay is the answer. 

This is why Tagaytay is a popular destination for people who want to feel refreshed and relaxed. This popular holiday destination is under two hours away from the city and offers refreshing vantage points, including that of the Taal Lake in Batangas and the Taal Volcano island. The cool breeze and climate of the mountains plus the calming effects of the lush vegetation and trees makes it a very attractive tourist destination.

Tagaytay is also a known foodie destination for people who are looking for a gastronomic adventure. There’s a long strip of restaurants and eateries anyone can choose and pick to dine on the best comfort food for the cool climate.

Quality over anything else

Pre-pandemic, anyone can travel to any location cheaply. You can book a flight on a piso fare, and even reside in a beachfront hostel or a city center safehouse at an affordable rate.

Now, things are different when health and safety is a concern. Booking a hotel that prioritizes social distancing, hygiene, and cleanliness policies is now a mark of quality. Higher-tier hotels adopt smart technology for check-ins and payments. Some even offer a dedicated medical facility to conduct swab tests to help traveling guests comply with requirements without needing to venture out. Hotel staff are in either specially-designed scrubs or wear masks and gloves, especially those who come in contact with guests.

Moreover, the hotel and lodging industry is stepping up in terms of their accommodations. They try to offer services that their guests do not get to experience at home, or have missed pre-pandemic. For example, in-room gaming, streaming subscriptions on large, flat HD TVs, super comfortable beds, and even a small playing area for the little kids are now being offered as complimentary services. In-house spa and beauty services are also becoming popular for guests who also wanted to get pampered on their hotel stay. 

People are staying closer at home

When we compare what we have experienced in the past three years being locked up at home with a feeling of uncertainty, most of us feel very confined in our living situations. And for people who do not want to risk themselves getting exposed to the virus, staying closer at home feels much better mentally as compared to taking the health risks of traveling somewhere, even if you have taken your primary and booster vaccination doses.

For people who feel this way, even a walk to the park or biking around the neighborhood feels like travel. Dining out on your balcony or lawn feels like a magical experience. Having friends for dinner or for drinking can be achieved by simply doing a video call. Social activities like game nights, karaoke sessions, and even just kamustahans virtually at home can already make you feel more alive.

A Luxury Vacation for Life

From the Swiss-inspired luxury house and lot units down to the surrounding pine trees, flora, and interesting vantage points, Crosswinds Tagaytay can make anyone feel relaxed and at peace.

Although some people are making the best of staying at home, these uncertain times showed us how leisure travel is an important aspect in our lives. Being able to escape from our mundane, everyday activities allow us to recharge and refresh. For some, traveling actually increases happiness, more than the anticipation of buying stuff from your holiday Wishlist.

But wouldn’t it be great to have that luxury vacation for life? Even if you are not of a retirement age, working on a goal to invest in a luxury vacation for life is definitely something worth your while. 

Crosswinds Tagaytay is a Swiss-inspired resort development stretching over 100 marvelous hectares of developed and natural land. Featuring over 35,000 lofty pine trees, this mountain retreat is visited by both tourists and locals because of its breathtaking vistas and vantage points that feature the lush, rolling terrains that draw vision towards the aerial views of the rest of Tagaytay City and Metro Manila. Those who opt to stay and take a well-deserved vacation rent or invest in a luxury condo for sale at The Crosswinds Grand Quartier, a luxury resort property.

Crosswinds Tagaytay is also home to a wide array of Swiss-themed properties that attract not only vacationers but also luxury property buyers who are looking to invest in their “lifetime vacation.” A lucky few can snag a luxury condo for sale at The Crosswinds Grand Quartier, and opt to either reside at the resort property or lease it out for rental income.

Lausanne at Crosswinds is a 24-hectare residential development located at the highest point of Crosswinds Tagaytay in Barangay Iruhin Central, along Calamba Road. This development offers lot-only properties for buyers who plan to build their own luxury house and lot units in the future and avail themselves of the much-needed privacy and exclusivity, just like what a real luxurious vacation offers.

Alpine Villas is another residential enclave that features Swiss chalet-inspired mid-rise villas set to rise along with the rolling pine tree vista of the property. Alpine Villas is to become the dreamy, ethereal luxury vacation you long for away from the city.

These are just some of the luxury residential developments at Crosswinds Tagaytay that are being offered on the market. Reads like a dream, but you can always take the next step further in ensuring you have a luxury vacation you can always enjoy for life.

Just as Lausanne was a surprise, there are guaranteed to be more developments of Crosswinds Tagaytay in 2021 and more years to come which makes investing in a luxury condominium or house and lot that much more valuable.

Windmill Lausanne

Inspired by the wondrous windmills in Solvang, California, Windmill Lausanne is a new restaurant that debuted its soft opening just this month of December at Crosswinds Tagaytay. Like how NAPA tried and succeeded to get that feel of a foreign experience, Windmill Lausanne is just as unique and proud in having its own identity.

Windmill Lausanne offers a delectable and new experience for every guest.

They serve fresh baked pastries and delicious meals. They also have a drinks bar for those looking for a kick for their day. Guests will enjoy their stay in the ambiance of a Switzerland and California blend of environment. Dining customers can enjoy a couch or a classic wooden table. Once everyone is full from the gastronomical experience, visitors can take photos up-close and personal with the windmill facet of the building. They can also take the stairs for an even better photo with the windmill. This establishment is one of the best developments of Crosswinds Tagaytay in 2021.

“Why be normal when you can be magical?” summarizes the experience at Windmill Lausanne.

The Best has been given but is also yet to come

As the year comes to an end, Crosswinds Tagaytay will only start developing into something even better than the last visit. The Vista Land Corporation aims to deliver the best experience each time for their clients and esteemed guests. The developments of Crosswinds Tagaytay in 2021 are just part of a grander scheme in the works from brilliant minds.
