E-cigarettes, hazardous towards health: new study

On an article posted on November 11 2021 from Philstar, a conducted survey during September 6 – 11 of 2021, the commissioned survey publicly revealed their data results that 77% of the respondent finds that vapes or recreational usage of an electronic cigarette poses a health hazard towards the user’s health. Whereas, 15% results that it is only a minor hazard, and the other 2% say it isn’t.

And in regards to its policy towards using vapes in public areas, in the survey – the results are 13% for those who doesn’t approve of it, whereas the 74% of the respondents wants it to be implemented in public areas, the rest of the 12% are still undecided towards this matter.

I have been to a few places in Cebu where I spot individuals using vapes, though from what I’ve only seen and know is that vape users vary from how or where they use it; most I’ve met are aware of their surroundings, where others don’t. But the question of whether policy/laws permits it, remains in questioned.

To my fellow cloud blowing Sugboanons, as far as we know it – it’s not entirely illegal to use vaping gadgets on your own dime – your health, your choice. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if certain establishments will have their own opinions and policies to the subject matter; so as long as wherever you use it – be mindful.

Then again, I’m not one to add to the discussions of the merits or risks that comes along in using a vape – but this is quite subject one has to question themselves from time to time.

This also doesn’t mean that the vape industries aren’t trying to utilize safety towards their users; maybe there are less harmful methods. But until then, we’re not there yet – so we ought to be responsible.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Maybe we’ll to find a good approach between these two from the spectrum without scrapping one from the other.

Cebu City targets 70% herd immunity

There’s this thing called: “Herd immunity”, for an instance, when a mass number of people have a formula, design to make you immune to a particular disease, it is likely to reduce the chances of spreading the virus – since almost all of them have the formula of immunity to protect themselves from it.

Since then, the Philippines has accumulated a number of vaccines available for everyone – our local governments even encouraged us to take it so that the city will reach the 70% herd immunity; now I can understand how one chooses not to take the vaccination, and even if you don’t, I sure hope you’re doing your part in keeping yourself and everyone around you, safe – then again you are not wrong to say no.

In Cebu Hall, Mike Rama had announced that a ₱20,000 worth of Christmas bonus will be given to vaccinated City Hall employees, and that they advocate unvaccinated employees to take their vaccination shots.

Some would find that unacceptable or as a form of discrimination towards the unvaccinated individuals, the incentives given to the vaccinated also comes from the unvaccinated, so you can see where the division is coming from.

I really hope that we, as persevering and perceptive Sugboanons, can come to find a way to reach the 70% herd immunity – not from cash incentives, or taking from other people’s hard-earned efforts that will only benefit one from the other; maybe we ought to figure something else out.

Do you think this was a good idea? Or if not, what do you think will help reach our 70% herd immunity? I’m sure me and among many other concerned folks like you are looking for a better way.

Soon to rise: P1-Billion ‘Mahi by AppleOne’ in Mactan

Hello, fellow readers! Today’s article is brought to you by Sugbo.ph in partnership with Cebu-based development company: AppleOne Properties Inc.

Okay, fine this isn’t sponsored – this is, however, about AppleOne Properties – specifically, their latest project in Cebu; MAHI. The company is said to have allocated around P1 billion for the construction.

Mahi is your IT Hub center and Cebu’s lifestyle destination that stands to have a five-story building and a property that stretches about 7,500 square meters lot in M.L. Quezon Avenue in Mactan Lapu-Lapu. The establishment will have its own dedicated spaces for different kinds of businesses.

Retail and commercial spaces

Kick back and enjoy a week or two of leisure in Miha’s Marriott’s Fairfield Inn & Suites, with 12 floors, 180 rooms available to accommodate guests, and a hotel crew ready to accommodate you and your needs, 24/7.

There are commercial & retail spaces that will allocate 41% of the business space and revenue as well, which offers various favorite retail outlets and stores centers opened for guests and business owners to ensure your insatiable shopaholic addiction is to be catered for!

It will also have amenities such as fine-dining restaurants, and a rooftop bar – because nothing says “I have class” like being in a rooftop bar. Apparently.

Premier Businesses

The building will be a five-story office building within Mahi’s vicinity, where it will primarily be focused on the IT business.

The office environment is designed to look professional and vibrant, where each floor has glass windows that overlook the area and maybe even get a glimpse of Mactan.

Common utilities and facilities

29% of the development is directed towards the common utilities; such as water, drainage/sewer system, sanitation, and electricity. Logistics that focus on these utilities help a long way in the up-keep and operation of the site.

This project could be beneficial for businesses and even attract tourists in the future.

The Iconic Spin of SM MOA Globe, just a publicity stunt for new Netflix movie

The Iconic Spin of SM MOA Globe, just a publicity stunt for new Netflix movie

SM Mall of Asia’s iconic globe in Pasay City was reportedly “stolen” on November 13, Saturday night, and a netizen caught the shenanigan. A Facebook profile named Chester Allan Tangonan posted an 18-second clip showing the iconic globe being “lifted” from a helicopter.

It did not take long for the shocking news to spread like wildfire and Pinoy netizens were quick to hypothesize the whole MOA Globe shenanigan. SM Mall of Asia’s management then posted a public notice which stated, “SM Mall of Asia is currently working with authorities in investigating the MOA Globe incident. With our security measures in place, rest assured that the SM Mall of Asia continues to be a safe space for your family and friends.”

The incident remained mysterious as to who or what took it and how and why it happened in the first place. And then Netflix entered the scene. No one had probably speculated about them until they posted a video on their Fb page on Sunday with a caption, “You may or may not have missed the biggest con while you were sleeping 👀 I know who did it, and the Red Notice is out for them 🚨”.

https://www.facebook.com/netflixph/videos/1312977535816567

As it turned out, the “stolen” globe of MOA is part of Netflix’s promotional stunt for its film Red Notice. The movie’s star-studded casts include Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. It had a short run in selected cinemas on November 5 and premiered on November 12.

The globe is now finally back to its place but with scaffolding. The management posted another statement thanking netizens for their concern about the incident and “will temporarily put the area under ‘Red Notice.’”

The whole SM MOA globe incident garnered mixed reactions from netizens.

Here are some of them:

“sana wag nyo gawin sa madaling araw hirap matulog kakaisip kung bakit HAHAHA”
– JEK, C

“ginagawa niyo talaga kaming joke e no”
– Abode, A.

“Ayyy pakkk my pa-eme ang MOA NETFLIX CHILLS yarns??”
– Mae Ann, C.

hiniram lang pala ni Miley Cyrus, nag shooting lang siya ng music video, “‘wrecking ball part 2.’”
– Kai

“Am sorry but this is an overly complicated stunt just to promote something that has been on Netflix for like…weeks?

Not the best from Netflix to be perfectly honest.”
– Kristel A.

“Trust me, no one was concerned. We were all laughing hahahaha”
– Jeric, S.

“there is a penalty on spreading fake news right? anything that may cause alarm to the public, may official statement pa from the page itself and made headlines.. this is not funny at all”
– Lauren, C.

“Sabi nga sa palabas, pag nainis ka sa kontrabida, ibig sabihin effective siya sa role niya. So pag naniwala ka dito wag ka magalala, dika shunga o kung ano pa man. Tapos yung nga marites naman na di daw dapat ginagawang biro na ninakaw yung globo, mga marites nga kayo. Dagdag bawas kayo sa balita.”
– Justin, Q.

Trending: Meet the Strong, Independent ‘Single Bride’ from Mandaue City, Cebu

They say that you have to love yourself first because that is the only person with who you will be spending the rest of your life with.

True enough for this woman who has proven herself to be the strong, independent woman every girl has aspired to become. Yes, she has decided to become her own bride.

Meet Josaly Libra Canubas.

The bride from Mandaue City needed no groom to have her own fairytale. She has always dreamt of wearing her own wedding gown during her wedding, but after her fair share of failed relationships, she thought it was so close to being impossible.

“ang story niya is pirme lang daw siya sawi sa pag ibig, maski gihatag na niya ang tanan but walay good return sa iyaha, and dream jud daw niya mag wedding gown but para niya impossible na mahitabo. so nag pa prenup siya solo og na sul-ob og wedding gown para maka experience siya,” says Nexley Ramirez.

Photographed by Mark Ramirez Photography, Josaly surely is living her own fairytale. I mean, why not? No one needs a man if you can do it all to yourself. Best wishes, Josaly!

This newly wed couple from Lapu-Lapu had their reception at Mang Inasal

From kasal to Mang Inasal!

This newlywed from Lapu-lapu City just wanted a simple wedding reception. After their wedding at Sto. Niño de Cebu Mactan Parish, the couple with their entourage proceeded to their wedding reception – at a nearby local fast food restaurant in the City.

Rian Eran Baynosa and Rhaquesa Vicente Mosende (both originally from Kitcharao, Mindanao) was originally planned to be wed in their hometown last 2020, but due to the pandemic, it forced them to stay, live together, and build a family in Lapu-lapu.

On their wedding day, only their neighbors and friends were able to attend as their immediate family stayed in Mindanao because of the tight budget and pandemic.

According to photographer Babse Dondon, in his 6 years of covering weddings, this is his first time to cover such scenario.

Bisag asa ra jud, basta with you! Another ”sana all” na sad ta aning mga single!

2021 Guide: Traveling from Cebu to Siargao

Ever scroll past your Instagram newsfeed once in a while, and stumble on a Siargao photo/video? I know I have – and more often than not I’d imagine myself to the time I once paddled out to the waters of Cloud 9 and rode the crashing waves back as I effortlessly stood on my rented fish board; completely out of thought, but in total control… it’s almost like the ocean and I are connected – of the same mind, body, and soul. Just kidding of course, I can’t even swim.

I, however, can tell you all about traveling from ‘The Queen City of the South’ to the beautiful ‘Surfing Capital of the Philippines’ known as Siargao, as of November 2021!

Photo from Instagram Account of travels_and_escapes

Before I get ahead of myself, one thing you should keep in mind is that due to the country still handling the pandemic – though less demanding of requirements as before, there are still precautionary measures and policies you must comply with, to ensure the continued safety and leisure of travelling for everyone.

From November 1 – 14, the entire province of Surigao del Norte is under GCQ, it is open to domestic tourists from GCQ and MGCQ areas.

The requirements are:

Copy of the saliva RT-PCR test results and negative swabs are still required – released within the 48 hours upon arrival.
Valid identification Card
Confirmed Roundtrip Airline Tickets for tourists
Confirmed reservation DOT accredited accommodation for tourists

To inquire mandatory requirements and information details, check out: app.philippines.travel

Flight Travel!

When it comes to getting around places, one of the most common ways to travel is by plane. Planes are great for faster travel and a much more direct approach, though costly for the trip.

Check out the cheapest Cebu – Del Carmen tickets you can find on Kiwi.com, or in Google Flights. Ticket prices can vary from time/date of departure, or if it’s a round trip – so plan and finance all your funds ahead.

A flight from Mactan – Cebu International Airport is your best bet if you were to travel by Cebgo Airlines, PAL Express, and Philippine Airlines! It only takes about an hour until you arrive at your destination.

‘Ferry’ Go Round

Taking the Ferry is a great way to travel too, you could save more, though it takes longer to get to Surigao City compared to traveling by plane.

You may travel between these three: Medallion Transport, Cokaliong Shipping Lines, and Starlight Ferry; they are available daily (except on Sundays) and depart @7:00PM from Pier 1.

When you arrive to the port of Surigao, you’ll have to proceed to the terminal’s ticket booth where you’ll buy another ticket for a ferry to Siargao (departs at 5:00AM), depending on which ship you’ve boarded, it usually takes 4 hours, an hour or less when traveling on a fast craft.

Nemrac By The Sea: Beachfront Restaurant and Resort in Carmen

Cebu is a province proudly renowned for its bountiful sea and the thriving marine scene. There’s a rich roster of attractions in the island’s waters such as dive destinations, snorkeling spots, and viewing decks.

While exciting excursions await you everywhere in Cebu, the island also has its fair share of quiet corners for a more mellow appreciation of the seascape.

One such destination is Nemrac By The Sea, a new restaurant and resort up north fronting the wide ocean to the east.

Photo from Nemrac by the Sea Facebook Page

An escape from the busy city

Carmen is a relatively quiet municipality, and Nemrac by the sea is an even quieter establishment despite being along the national road. The stillness of the surroundings provides a feeling of peace that’s different from life in the busy metro.

The restaurant also doubles as a resort with amenities perfect for relaxing with some quiet time. To make it even better, there’s something to do for everyone of all ages; they have swimming pools, jet skis and kayaks for rent, videoke, and a playground for the kids!

Dining and accommodation by the sea

Nemrac by the sea highlights the stunning seascape. From their property, guests get a 180-degree view of the open sea and Camotes Islands on the far horizon. It’s a stunning, yet calming view that is complemented well by the lazy lapping of waves.

Whether you’re splashing idly in their pool or eating a warm meal, you’ll have a clear view of the blue sea. Speaking of food, they have an extensive menu that includes seafood, meats, silogs, and all kinds of staples. Have a look below!

Then, once you’ve finished unwinding, settle down inside their comfortable rooms with an even more appreciable view of the sea. What could be more calming than that?

Nemrac by the sea is a great destination for families, groups, and even company outings. They also have a sizable function room for events and get-togethers.
