The first official teaser for Toy Story 5 has just dropped from Disney-Pixar, and it promises a massive shift from the usual playroom antics. Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the original toy crew are making their comeback, but their new challenge is a major one: they’ll face off against Lilypad, a smart tablet shaped like a frog. This new villain is voiced by Greta Lee.

“The Age of Toys Is Over?” Meet the Smart Villain

The highly anticipated fifth installment of the Toy Story franchise is set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026. This time, Bonnie’s beloved toys face their most significant obstacle yet: the arrival of a mysterious, high-tech package in her room. This package unleashes Lilypad, a tech-savvy “foe” whose intentions go far beyond simple playtime. The new villain makes the toys’ mission “exponentially harder,” as highlighted by the trailer’s ominous tagline: “The age of toys is over?”.


The 49-second teaser trailer confirms the return of beloved characters Woody and Buzz (once more voiced by the iconic Tom Hanks and Tim Allen), alongside Jessie, Slinky Dog, and Forky. They are joined by a fresh face, Smarty Pants (voiced by Conan O’Brien). Notably, this installment shifts the conflict beyond toys to a deeper struggle: tradition versus modern technology, pitting old-school classics against their digital competitors.

They’ll grapple with fundamental questions of identity, relevance, and connection, all while the dynamics are surely shaken up by the introduction of new characters.

Explore The Spring Cave in Pinamungajan

Photo grab from Google Maps

Ulbohan Cave in Pinamungajan is Cebu’s spring cave where adventure meets calmness. A trek leads to crystal-clear waters perfect for a raw and refreshing escape.

If you’re craving a raw, off-the-beaten-path adventure in Cebu, then it’s time to pack your bags and head to Ulbohan Cave in Pinamungajan. Unlike your usual resort getaway, this spot is all about nature at its purest form, no fancy amenities, no big crowds, just you, the cave, and a crystal-clear spring waiting to cool you down.

The Journey to Ulbohan

Ulbohan Cave is located in Sitio Ulbohan, Pinamungajan, about two hours from Cebu City. Getting there is already an adventure, from the town proper, you’ll need to hop on a motorcycle ride toward Mohon, Aloguinsan, then trek for around 30 minutes along rocky trails. The path can be tricky, but locals are friendly and always ready to point you in the right direction.

What Awaits Inside

Photo grab from Google Maps

At first glance, Ulbohan might seem small compared to other caves, but step inside and you’ll be greeted by clear, cold spring water that feels like nature’s own swimming pool. The water is so transparent you can see your feet at the bottom, and the natural coolness is a refreshing reward after your hike. It’s not a massive cave system with endless chambers, it’s intimate, quiet, and perfect for those who just want to take a dip and soak up the quiet.

Why You’ll Love It

What makes Ulbohan Cave special is how untouched it is. There are no ticket booths, no cottages for rent, and no restaurants nearby. It’s a simple escape, best enjoyed by people who want to disconnect from city life and reconnect with nature. It’s also a great spot for barkada trips, you’ll feel like you’ve discovered a secret hangout that no one else knows about.

Travel Tips

Photo grab from Google Maps

Ulbohan Cave is best visited during the dry season when the trails are safer and the water is clearer. Bring proper footwear for trekking, swimwear, snacks, and lots of water. Since the cave has no facilities, it’s best to pack everything you’ll need for the trip. And most importantly, leave no trace, help keep this hidden gem clean and beautiful for future explorers.

How To Get There?

Location: Pinamungajan, Cebu, Philippines

  • By Car: From Cebu City, drive south via Naga–Uling Road and head toward Pinamungajan town proper. Once you reach Poblacion, take the route going to Mohon, Aloguinsan. Look for the jump-off point to Sitio Ulbohan, where you’ll need to park your car and continue the rest of the journey on foot. Expect about a 30-minute trek along rocky terrain before reaching the cave, so it’s best to wear proper footwear and bring only what you can comfortably carry.

  • By Commute: From Cebu South Bus Terminal, ride a bus or van bound for Pinamungajan and ask to be dropped off at the town proper. From there, hire a habal-habal (motorbike taxi) going to Sitio Ulbohan. The ride will take you through rough roads, and once you get dropped off at the jump-off, you’ll still need to trek for around 30 minutes to reach Ulbohan Cave. Friendly locals along the way can guide you if you’re unsure of the path.

The Peaceful Hymn of Montañeza Falls

There’s something magical about chasing waterfalls in the southern corners of Cebu, especially when you stumble upon one by pure accident. What began as a wrong turn in search of another waterfall turned into a discovery of Montañeza Falls, a breathtaking, multi-tiered wonder placed within the quiet town of Malabuyoc. 

Enclosed by towering rock walls and blessed with crystal-clear waters, this hidden gem proves that sometimes, getting lost is exactly what you need to find something truly unforgettable.

Nature’s Secret Staircase

Photo from Jeffrey Monilla

Unlike other open-area waterfalls, Montañeza Falls hides within a narrow canyon, giving it an intimate, almost secretive beauty. The sound of rushing water grows louder as you follow the rocky trail, revealing seven tiers of flowing beauty. Each level offers a distinct view, some perfect for swimming, others for simply admiring nature’s sculpted stone walls and gentle mists. The higher you go, the more you’ll understand why this place feels like nature’s own cathedral of calm.

Seven Falls, Endless Wonder

Photo from Jeffrey Monilla

Each of the seven falls tells its own story, some falls gently, others roaring with force. The seventh waterfall is often off-limits due to falling rocks, but the journey through the first six levels is more than enough to leave you awestruck. Sunlight filters through the narrow gorge, creating a mystical glow that dances across the water. Whether you’re an adventurer or a casual wanderer, Montañeza Falls offers a landscape that seems pulled straight from a fantasy film.

Photo from Jeffrey Monilla

How to Get There?

Location: Barangay Montañeza, Malabuyoc, Cebu, Philipines

By Car: For those who love road trips, drive south via the Barili route. The coastal highway treats you to breathtaking seaside views and charming stopovers in towns like Alegria and Ginatilan. Upon reaching Barangay Montañeza, look for the sign pointing to Mainit Spring. There’s parking available near the entrance. And if you’re on a motorbike, even better, stop whenever you please, take photos, or enjoy the open road as you chase the sound of rushing water.

By Commute: From Cebu City, head to the South Bus Terminal and hop on a bus bound for Bato via Barili. Ask the driver or conductor to drop you off at Barangay Montañeza, Malabuyoc, the trip takes about 4 to 5 hours. Once there, a short walk or a quick habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) ride will bring you to the Mainit Spring entrance, where your adventure to the falls begins.

Gen Z: Healing Inner Child or Poor Financial Decisions?

0
Photo from Pexels

Across TikTok, Instagram, and weekend pop-ups, a growing number of Gen Z adults are proudly buying plushies, cartoon hoodies, Pokémon merch, and tiny collectibles like Sonny Angels. What looks like “kiddie shopping” from the outside has evolved into a cultural shift rooted in self-soothing and nostalgia. 

According to mental health advocates and consumer behavior researchers, many young adults are turning to childhood symbols as comfort items in a stressful and unstable world. Economic uncertainty, social pressure, and digital burnout have made nostalgia a coping tool, one that’s cute, comforting, and conveniently available at checkout.

Why Gen Z Reaches Backward

Photo from Pexels

Psychologists like Sohini Rohra and play therapy experts such as Beatrix Aileen Sison explain that reconnecting with childlike joy can be part of emotional regulation and inner child healing. Growing up in a hyper-digital, hyper-critical environment pushed many young people to mature too quickly. Reclaiming childhood objects becomes a way to slow down and feel safe again. According to mental health insights, nostalgia can reduce stress, increase feelings of belonging, and offer emotional grounding in moments of anxiety.

The Stress Relief Effect

Photo from Pexels

Nostalgic objects work because they transport the brain back to a time that felt easier and more predictable. Mental health professionals note that this kind of emotional recall can soothe stress responses and help the brain relax. Small habits, like eating childhood snacks or collecting tiny figurines, become rituals that provide comfort. For young adults juggling career pressure, relationship confusion, financial worry, and constant online comparison, these rituals offer pockets of joy and control.

Self-Care, Rebranded

Photo from Pexels

Gen Z has also redefined self-care. Instead of spa days and silent retreats, self-care now includes cartoon-print pajamas, blind-box toys, and merchandise from childhood franchises. According to lifestyle trend analyses, today’s young adults prioritize emotional connection over luxury. A ₱500 trinket that sparks serotonin can feel more “worth it” than a traditional self-care purchase. It’s playful. It’s personal. It’s a rebellion against the idea that adulthood has to be joyless, polished, or serious 24/7.

When Healing Turns Into Overspending

Photo from Pexels

But the trend has a downside. Financial experts warn that emotional spending, even in the name of “healing”, can become impulsive and avoidant. With constant trend cycles and social feeds showing new releases every week, nostalgia can turn into a shopping trap. Retail therapy offers a quick dopamine hit, but it doesn’t resolve long-term stress. According to behavioral finance studies, emotional spending can create guilt, which then fuels more stress, a loop that leaves young adults stuck between healing and debt.

Finding Balance

Photo from Pexels

Inner child healing doesn’t require a growing shelf of collectibles. Psychologists emphasize balance, playful habits, mindful spending, and emotional awareness. Nostalgia can be healing when it’s intentional, not compulsive. The goal isn’t to live in the past, but to integrate the best parts of childhood into an adult life that feels full, supported, and joyful.

The Bottom Line

Gen Z isn’t “immature” for buying plushies and toys. They’re responding to a world that demands resilience too early and too often. Nostalgic spending can be healing,  as long as it doesn’t become a coping mechanism that empties wallets in the name of wellness. Healing your inner child is valid. Just don’t let that inner child steal your debit card.

You Can Resign Before December and Still Get Your 13th Month Pay

Photo from Pexels

Thinking about quitting before the year ends? Here’s a twist many employees don’t expect: you’re still entitled to your 13th month pay, no drama, no loopholes, no problem.

It’s Guaranteed by Law

Photo from Pexels

Under DOLE rules and Presidential Decree No. 851, all rank-and-file employees must receive 13th month pay, even if they resign or are terminated before December.

Who Qualifies?

Photo from Pexels

Anyone who isn’t a managerial employee and has worked at least one month during the year is entitled to the benefit. Managers may receive it only if the employer chooses to grant it.

How It’s Computed

The amount is 1/12 of your total basic salary for the year. Example: If someone earns ₱20,000 monthly and worked three months, they receive ₱5,000.

When You Should Receive It

Photo from Pexels

Employers must release the 13th month pay on or before December 24. If you resign, it should be given along with your final pay within 30 days.

Not a Christmas Bonus

The 13th month pay is mandatory by law. The Christmas bonus? Completely optional and up to your employer.
