Today, new home bathrooms don’t just serve a functional purpose but can bring the tranquility into your life that you desire, or maybe need. With just a little bit of planning, your bathroom can go from a space that you jump into as needed to one you look forward to spending time in each morning as you start your day and each night before bed.

Here are six customizations for new home bathrooms we know you’ll want to incorporate into your space.

Waterfront Davao's Insulares de Mayo

Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao tells the story of three women on its second staging of “Insulares de Mayo” held May 31, 2019. Formerly just a celebration of the annual Santacruzan, this year’s version was crafted to be a three-act narrative about a woman’s encounter with her faith, fate and being Filipino. 

The story started with the pomp and pageantry of “Flores de Mayo”, highlighting the colorful creations of Davao City’s fast-rising couturiers. Garbed in imaginative renditions of the Philippine Terno as Reyna Sagalas were some of the region’s empowered women and civic leaders: Chairperson of Compostela Valley’s Provincial Women Development Council - Sholai Lim as Reyna de las Estrellas; Former Japanese Consul - Tomoko "Sophia" Dodo as Reyna Paz; Chef-Restaurateur of Rekado Davao - Pauline Benedicto-Mallillin as Reyna de las Propetas; Honorary Consul to Mexico - Dr. Maria Lourdes Monteverde as Reyna Emperatriz; Councilor-Elect of the 3rd District - Myrna Dalodo-Ortiz as Reyna del Cielo; Proprietor of Picobello Ristorante Italiano and The Swiss Deli and Restaurant - Rochelle Venuti as Reyna de las Flores; Mutya ng Davao 2000 - Leah May Luna-Panisales as Reyna de las Virgines; and the newly appointed Regional Director of the Department of Tourism Region XI - Tanya Rabat-Tan as Reyna Elena.

5 Big reasons why you should stay at Seda Atria when in Iloilo City

I was still in my elementary school years when I last set foot in this city of love, Iloilo City. My mother is an Ilongga. Her family came from the town of Calinog located in the central part of Panay Island. I grew up in an Ilonggo-speaking household in a Bisaya community hence, I feel lucky to converse on both dialects.

When my family decided to go to Boracay for our summer vacation this year, I right away suggested that we flew to Iloilo and do the bus ride to Caticlan, the jump-off town to the island. I thought we’ll be hitting two birds at the same time - do beachin’ in Boracay and we get to see Panay countryside and explore Iloilo City thereafter. And that’s exactly what we did.

Iloilo City is a contrast of fast becoming an urbanized city outfitted with modern conveniences with still much of its old and historical character remains an integral part of its culture.
