How to win an election
Ken or the decisions in the field, you know that coconut shell moved. The streets are lined with flags and improvised mini political party offices, although the Parliament is not dissolved. Ang pow packets, free food, gifts, money, and keep, distributed almost daily. You have a cell phone WINS voice, has a few issues, or one to receive text message (SMS). Not only a local politician (which I don't know) has a generic to me, I have even a birthday greetings for mother's day, though I do not come into consideration. Agreements in the proposals of the old Roman letters "How to win an election"?

By
Beau Genesis G Baslao
Paradise Island
This island resort is definitely not named
"paradise" for nothing. It features a long stretch of white sand which
also happens to be the cleanest and finest in the island. The thrill for
adventure can be satiated with the resort's various water sports such
as jet skiing, scuba diving, kayaking, windsurfing and aquacycling.
There are also other fun things to do without even touching the waters
such as volleyball, badminton, billiards, table tennis, and a playground
park for children. To complete the ecotourism paradise, they also have
an aviary where animal lovers and non-animal lovers alike can view a
wide variety of birds.
Pearl Farm Beach Resort
Perhaps the
most popular destination spot in Samal is Pearl Farm Beach Resort. This
vacation place features white sand beach and crystal clear waters
ensuring any beach-goers spend is worth every penny. As its name
suggest, this beach getaway used to be a cultivation farm for south sea
pearls and has now matured to become a magnificent and luxurious retreat

slides, four swimming pools, and a spa, BlueJaz is sure to fulfill any

Maxima Aqua Fun
Probably
one of the many beach resorts with the most comprehensive adventurous
activities is Maxima Aqua Fun. They offer the usual but inexpensive fun
filled water sports such as diving, snorkeling, parasailing, kayaking,
jet skiing and banana boat rides. But what sets this tourist spot
different from other resorts is it is massive giant slides that are sure

Davao Beach Worth a Visit - Dahican
By
Beau Genesis G Baslao
Here, any surfer looking for a challenge will certainly get their
hopes up once they get to meet the enormous and seemingly ravaging
waves. In addition, wind surfing can be enjoyed thanks to the playful
waves and strong breeze. Most importantly, skim boarders will be greeted
by flat waves that are suitable for thrilling skim rides. Best time to
visit this Skim paradise is from November to April when the weather is
dominated by trade winds. This season is called "Amihan" in the city's
dialect and is associated with strong winds that help make waves ideal
to board sports. It is during these months that waves become challenging
for surfers, which is what they usually prefer.
On the other
hand, the place acts as an ideal vacation spot for non-surfers and there
are exciting activities to be had for the less daring travelers. For
non-sporty adventurous explorers or vacationers who just want to have a
relaxing time, the stretch of pristine sands on this beach is enough for
a tranquil walk or artistic picture-taking. For those who are not into
board sports, a possible alternative sport is kayaking, offering a good
combination of a body workout, sight-seeing activity, and navigation
adventure. For the animal lovers, Dolphin Watching services are
available in Dahican. Additionally, Sea Turtles and other fascinating
marine life can be seen here, promoting ecological awareness and
nature's raw beauty.
Perhaps the main reason why it is known as
the skim and surf paradise is that it is home to the talented "Amihan
Boys". These boys are revered as beach idols by those who have witnessed
their awesome exhibitions. For those who enjoy extreme sports in
action, the Amihan wave riders are certainly worth a visit. Their
impossible stunts are splendid to watch inspiring non-surfers to try the
hobby out. These kids would play all day long if time permits it. They
are also known to be hospitable and helpful to travelers who are new to
Dahican. If availability of kitchen utensils prove to be difficult,
these boys are more than willing to lend a helping hand and can even
cook for visitors.
This hidden paradise is definitely worth a
visit for surfers and non-surfers alike. Beach freaks will certainly
enjoy skim boarding, surfing, kayaking or simply relaxing in Dahican.
Despite being known as the best spot for skim boarding in the county,
this Southern Davao paradise is suitably perfect for any beach
enthusiast. Dahican is a tropical haven a beach lover should not dare to
miss.
A Land of Promise for Shoppers

Along with a number of business class hotels in Davao, many malls
have sprouted to usher the rise of commerce in the city. Find below for
the many Major Malls in Davao City:
Davao's first supermall is SM
City Davao located at Quimpo Boulevard, Ecoland, Matina. It opened last
November 2001 and is the first SM Mall to be opened in Mindanao. It has
a wide floor area and has three floors filled with various commercial
outlets to choose from such as shops, recreational and service centers,
cinemas and restaurants. They also recently opened a nearby extension to
facilitate more shops in order to cater more customer options. This is
more popularly known as SM Davao Matina due to the fact that another SM
mall has been opened in the other side of Davao, which leads us to...
SM
Lanang Premier, also known as SM North Davao, is another mall
destination to spend time and have fun with family and friends. It is
the fourth SM mall in Mindanao with the other two being SM Cagayan de
Oro and SM General Santos. This is where you can find the largest
Dancing Fountain in the Philippines and the first IMAX Theater in the
Philippines. They also feature a water fountain garden near several
restaurants, giving one's dining experience a captivating view as well.
The mall's exterior asymmetrical and abstract design is said to be
inspired by Origami, the Japanese art of folding. Its location is at Jp
Laurel Avenue, Lanang.
Along JP Laurel, specifically in Bajada, is
another mall complex called Abreeza Mall. It features a three storey
mall of retail shops. These sales outlets offer wide assortment of
products and services such as restaurants, fashion concepts, and gadgets
among others. Abreeza Mall also has additional community development
projects such as boutique hotel, office buildings, and residential
towers. They also have a water fountain which is best viewed at night
when the colors are most vibrant. On the top floor is the open air
supermall's food court, presenting a fresher dining experience as well
as a remarkable view of the sky. Abreeza is also the location of many
popular brands where they opened their first branch with Star Bucks
being the most famous.
NCCC Mall is another large mall to checkout
in Davao, located in the corner of McArthur Highway and Ma-a Road. This
three-floor shopping complex houses a food court, restaurants, a
department store, a supermarket, cinemas, electronic stores, bowling and
billiard complex, appliance stores, and even a post office. This is
perhaps the most wallet friendly mall among the above picks.
Gaisano
Mall or otherwise known as Gmall is perhaps the most populous mall
complex due to their strategic location. They offer a lot of choices for
fashion, electronics, dining, and recreation with the many commercial
stores. They have a VIP Cinema where the seat is most comfortable,
ensuring a most relaxing movie experience. A recently opened portion
called The Peak paves the way for more food options and a slightly
bird's eye view of the city.
Hotels Are Great for Travel
By
Antoinette Ayana
Are you sick of your daily routine? A vacation may be just what
the doctor ordered! While it may be tempting to save money by staying in
a lower-priced establishment, such as a motel or hostel, hotels are
more affordable than you realize. With careful planning and plenty of
research, a luxurious vacation is absolutely within your reach.
Part of what makes staying in hotels a cost effective choice is that there are many bonuses that come along with your nightly rate. The treats begin when you walk in the door. Since most people who would stay in a hotel are not local to the area, local businesses do their best to appeal to tourists. Look for coupon books or deals located neat the front desk. The receptionist who checks you in is also a great resource - they often will be able to provide guests with coupons, tips, or ideas to make your stay in the area more memorable.
More upscale hotels will employ a concierge who is tasked with helping guests with their every need. If you are looking for a nice place to eat or a unique activity, the concierge will be the best person to ask. They can also help with those annoying little travel problems you might encounter, such as dry cleaning or finding a babysitter for your children. Just remember that it is customary to tip a concierge for services rendered, but their expertise is well worth it!
There is much to explore once you get to your room and plenty of other bonuses to take advantage of. Many hotels offer complimentary local treats in the room for newly arrived guests, giving you a taste of the local flavor. Pay close attention to the pamphlets and information that will have been left out by the staff; these can contain additional discounts and details on fun local activities. While you are looking around, make note of any delivery services who are willing to deliver to the hotel as this is often a more affordable option than ordering from the hotel kitchen.
Ultimately, hotels are really for one thing: resting. While cheaper hostels and occasionally motels can charge additional fees for linens, a hotel is a chance to experience sheets and pillows nicer than those you might have at home. If you plan on staying at the same place for multiple nights, be aware that housekeeping may or may not stop by to tidy up the room or offer a turn down service in the evening. If you are not comfortable with the service or would like special services, such as fresh towels or sheets each day, a quick call to the front desk will help you to customize service to your room.
By making the most of the resources at your lodging of choice, you will be able to justify spending just a little bit more on some luxury. Just be aware of the kinds of features your hotel will offer before you book - sometimes it is worth spending a little more to get a lot more!
