You may use the wooden hammock around the area if you wish to take a rest, or you can chika in their payag with your friends.

The Percée Cabin Resort Cabins and Rooms

The beauty doesn’t stop at The Percée Cabin’s exterior. Of course, they offer a beyond comfortable place for you to lay your head to rest as well. Among their rooms, you may choose to have an air-conditioned room with one or two beds. Their beds don’t fall short in following their motif either – they have a wooden bed frame with varnished wooden sticks that will never make you forget where you are. Their room chandelier projects mesmerizing light patterns, further stressing the fact that you are in paradise.

A cabin resort is not really itself without cabins. Here, you may rent to use their native cabins for your stay. Their native cabins are extremely cozy and intimate given its tiny space. It is made of nipa, and just like traditional Filipinos, all you have to do is open a window to get some fresh air, and because this is far from the city, it is guaranteed that the air is cold and crisp. The low ceiling truly makes the experience better and home-like in a way.

Reward yourself with a getaway in the North by going to this newly-opened resort. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of both our natural resources, and the traditional architectural materials our ancestors used to make use of in pre-colonial times. Book a room in The Percée Cabin Resort now!

Breaking Ground: Japanese Researchers Develop Tooth Growth Stimulant

Breaking Ground: Japanese Researchers Develop Tooth Growth Stimulant

A group of scientists led by a Japanese pharmaceutical startup is actively engaged in developing a groundbreaking drug designed to stimulate the growth of new teeth, a pioneering endeavor. Toregem Biopharma Co. is set to initiate clinical trials on healthy adults around July 2024 to verify the drug’s safety. This follows their previous success in cultivating new teeth in mice back in 2018. They aim to bring this revolutionary product to the market by approximately 2030.

How Does This Work?

The research team has crafted an antibody-based drug that obstructs the protein responsible for suppressing tooth growth. This drug has a stimulating effect on these dormant buds, encouraging their development. 

In an experiment in 2018, the team also administered this drug to ferrets, which possess both baby and permanent teeth similar to humans, resulting in the successful growth of new teeth. In most individuals, there exist “tooth buds” that hold the potential to develop into new teeth, in addition to baby and permanent teeth.

The Future of The Tooth Growth Stimulant

The team’s future plans include conducting clinical trials on the drug starting in 2025, targeting children aged 2 to 6 years who suffer from anodontia, a condition where some or all permanent teeth fail to develop. Katsu Takahashi, co-founder of Toregem Biopharma and the head of dentistry and oral surgery at Kitano Hospital in Osaka, emphasized the impact of missing teeth in children on their jaw bone development. The children in the clinical trials will then receive a single dose of the drug to initiate tooth growth.

Adults will also be part of their target market, as there are countless adults who have lost teeth due to cavities. This innovation could potentially transform the field of dentistry, offering solutions for tooth growth in both children and adults.

The development of a tooth growth drug could lead to a deeper understanding of tooth biology and regeneration as this knowledge could have broader implications for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Currently, dental treatments for tooth loss often involve invasive procedures like dental implants or bridges. A tooth growth drug could offer a less invasive and more convenient option for tooth replacement, hence, this research highly revolutionizes dental care overall.

Driver’s License Update from LTO: Plastic Cards and Renewal Announcement

Driver’s License Update from LTO: Plastic Cards and Renewal Announcement

In Manila, Philippines, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has announced that they are now able to provide plastic driver’s license cards to individuals whose licenses have expired and those who currently hold paper-printed licenses. LTO Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II shared this update during a press briefing on Thursday.

Photo from Land Transportation Office – Philippines Facebook Page

Mendoza advised drivers who have previously paid for their licenses but only received paper licenses to visit the district office or LTO office where they made their payment and present their official receipt in order to get the actual license.

The expiration dates for driver’s licenses and their corresponding renewal schedules are as follows:

  • Licenses expiring from April 1 to 30, 2023, should be renewed from October 6 to 31, 2023.
  • Licenses expiring from May 1 to 31, 2023, should be renewed from November 1 to 30, 2023.
  • Licenses expiring from June 1 to 30, 2023, should be renewed from December 1 to 31, 2023.
  • Licenses expiring from July 1 to 31, 2023, should be renewed from January 1 to 31, 2024.
  • Licenses expiring from August 1 to 31, 2023, should be renewed from February 1 to 29, 2024.
  • Licenses expiring from September 1 to 30, 2023, should be renewed from March 1 to 31, 2024.

Individuals who fail to renew their licenses during the designated schedule will face penalties according to the update. The LTO has now established a clear schedule for license renewals based on the expiration date, which extends into 2024. This staggered approach, as explained by Mendoza, has two key benefits: firstly, it aligns with the availability of plastic cards, ensuring a smooth transition; secondly, it prevents overcrowding at district offices, ensuring a more organized and efficient renewal process.

It’s worth noting that the LTO had previously extended the validity of expired driver’s licenses, demonstrating flexibility in response to the challenges posed by the pandemic. It is important for drivers to comply so as not to face the repercussions which would cause more conflict in the future.
