Down South 118 Beach Resort: Oslob’s Budget Getaway

There are many ways to spend a vacation in Oslob such as having a close-encounter experience with their various marine life or relaxing in the pristine white sand beaches of grandiose resorts but sometimes a simple and peaceful resort like Down South 118 Beach Resort is already more than enough to heal the soul.

Down South 118 is a humble resort situated in Barangay Calumpang – just a few minutes from the famous whale shark watching of Oslob. When you’re not swimming with the gentle giants of Oslob, you can check this place out and relax with style without worrying about the budget.

The most notable feature of the resort is its adorable maritime theme with fun and quirky decorations displayed in their receiving area, restaurant and the shared restroom.

Just over the ocean is a dining pier for a unique over-the-ocean dining experience while enjoying the sea breeze and an unobstructed 180-degree view of the ocean. 

Down South 118 is the best way to get lost in thought and let go of stress with the hypnotizing sound of the crashing waves and the tranquilizing combination of sun lounge chairs and a breeze that caresses the skin.

Simple and affordable yet elegant and very much comfortable, this seaside abode offers amenities that prioritize the comfort of its guests. Their rooms are pleasant to the senses and are spacious enough for enjoyable private moments.

They are fully equipped with everything that the guests might need for their stay. The greatest thing about them is the fact that they are all facing the ocean so guests wouldn’t have to worry about missing out on the azure views of the sea and sky especially on the terr.

Since it is a small resort, it can’t accommodate many guests but that just adds to the positives of the place with a lower concentration of people. Lazing about can also get mind-numbing sometimes so the resort also offers other activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and snorkeling.

All of these things make Down South 118 the best resort that’s closest to an exclusive getaway with their quality staff, amenities, and other activities for prices that will put the mind at ease.

NOW Telecom: Philippines’ “4th Telco Player”

NOW Telecom: Philippines’ “4th Telco Player”

Philippines’ residential and consumer markets will soon enjoy an upgrade of the services of NOW Telecom, the country’s deemed fourth major telco player.

The National Telecommunications Corporation has issued on September 14, 2020 an extension of NOW Telecom’s provisional authority (PA) to install, operate, and maintain a nationwide mobile telecommunications system. According to the company, the issued PA is not specific to 3G (third gen) mobile communications technology but can extend to recent technologies such as 4G, 5G, “or even outer space.”

“As the country’s fourth telco, NOW Telecom, an affiliate of publicly listed telecommunications, media, and technology firm Now Corp., is currently setting the stage for its public listing as well as its 5G or fifth generation network rollout,” the company said in a media release.

WHO IS NOW TELECOM?

NOW Telecom is an affiliate of NOW Corp, originally incorporated as MF Schroder & Co. in 1996. NOW Corp has expanded over the years with several subsidiaries that focus on providing telecommunications, media and information technology products and services through software licenses and services, IT manpower and resource augmentation; and broadband and wireless cable TV services.

NOW Corp. said its telco unit is among four firms with cellular mobile telephone service (CMTS) licenses in the country, alongside SMART, Globe, and DITO.

Mel Velarde, NOW Corporation’s president and CEO, initially bid for the third telco slot which was eventually awarded to Dito owned by Davao City-based businessman Dennis Uy.

In February 2018, President Rodrigo Duterte granted NOW Telecom a renewal of its legislative franchise to operate for another 25 years. The company also signed in 2019 a memorandum of understanding with SK Telecom, South Korea’s largest telecom provider, “to help design the company’s 5G network.”

“NOW Corp and NOW Telecom were the first to introduce 5G broadband speed of up to 3Gbps direct to our existing enterprise clients,” Mel Velarde said.

Telco giants PLDT Inc. and Globe Telecom have started rolling out 5G but on a limited scale. NOW Telecom said it has also the requisite frequencies to provide 5G services.

NO FORMAL DECLARATIONS FROM THE GOVERNMENT YET

While the company is gearing up to be the 4th major telco player, NTC Deputy Commissioner Edgardo Cabarios noted that the Philippines has only three major carriers: Globe Telecom, PLDT, and Dito Telecommunity, which is slated to commercially launch by the first quarter of 2021.

But NOW Corp is standing by its earlier claims. Citing a report from BusinessWorld, the company said NTC Deputy Commissioner Cabarios himself “confirmed” that NOW Telecom is the fourth telco given its license to operate a mobile network.

PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY CONDITIONS

The PA is subject to the infusion of additional capital of at least P1.9 billion based from the first two years capital expenditure of P6.3 billion in the submitted rollout plan and approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the increase in the authorized and paid-up capital, according to the telco unit.

On top of that, NTC also required the company to accelerate the installation of its broadband data service in suburban and rural areas and shall directly comply with the 70:30 ratio of urban to suburban and rural network rollout coverage in each phase of project implementation.

Lastly, the company is prohibited from sharing or co-using its frequency to either PLDT or Smart Communications, Globe Telecom, and DITO Telecommunity Corporation or any other entity without first securing approval from the commission.

UPDATES

NOW Telecom seeks to go public in the Philippines or overseas and has tapped Unicapital Inc. as its financial adviser. The company said it was planning to list by way of introduction. This means trading its shares without undertaking a traditional initial public offering.

Apart from access to the stock market, a listing will allow NOW Telecom to meet the requirements of its franchise.

Earlier, the company announced that it plans to spend $713 million for its five-year 5G fixed wireless access business plan in an attempt to deploy the 5G FWA network in the National Capital Region and offer a broadband plan of up to 10 gigabit per second service.

5G is a mobile standard that promises ultra-fast internet speeds and low lag times, making it ideal in powering emerging applications like connected cities, automated manufacturing and driverless cars.

“We are moving forward with the corporate restructuring of NOW Telecom to take it to the next level. NOW Corp and NOW Telecom were the first to introduce 5G broadband speed of up to 3Gbps direct to our existing enterprise clients,” – Mel Velarde, CEO, NOW Group of Companies

Double M Towers: Soon to be Cebu’s Tallest Building

Local developer is set to elevate the game for skyscrapers in the metro.

Double M Towers, a maiden project of the M. Montesclaros Development Corp. (MMDC), will soon become the newest and tallest building in the city. Situated along B. Rodriguez St., Cebu City (near Vicente Sotto Hospital), this P4 billion project is a two-tower mixed use project featuring a condominium and a hotel. Groundbreaking ceremony was held last year, November 8.

“We are now focusing on Cebu,” said engineer Fritz Canono, MMDC chief operating officer.

The Condominium

The first tower is a 57-story condominium project with 1206 units all designed to accommodate modern conveniences and transforming urban living experience. It is eyed to be completed in the next 5 years.

Mixed-use development is the future of condominium projects as it promotes work-life balance by incorporating work and leisure all in one place. With Double M Towers, a shift is indeed coming in Cebu’s tourism industry as resort-themed condos, seaside living, condotel and mixed-used development now slowly becoming a trend.

The property promises convenient and modern residential units, engaging workspaces, and an unforgettable dining and shopping experience all tucked in one place.

In a recent research note, property consultancy firm Santos Knight Frank reported the residential market in Metro Cebu had sustained its momentum with an average monthly take-up of 12 units per month during the first half of 2019.

Jaynet Oceanview Resort: Perfect getaway in Boljoon

When driving in Boljoon, visitors will find it hard to miss Jaynet Oceanview Resort – a lone structure jutting out from the seaside roads of the municipality.

Although it is a very peculiar location to establish a resort, the cool climate from the mountains and the sea breeze congregating on that spot make it the perfect destination for a nature getaway.

Evident from its name, Jaynet Oceanview Resort boasts the unique view that it has of the turquoise waters of Boljoon. It takes pride in giving its visitors the best oceanside scenery in the municipality. Despite the lack of sandy shores, the resort promises to provide a unique and unforgettable getaway to all their guests.

Rooms with a view

Every room in the resort is fitted with a balcony to really highlight the scenic view of the ocean to every guest that stays while the mountain view is only a luxury available to certain rooms.

The rooms have air conditioning but the natural air would be enough to cool the night. Guests can also enjoy the Asian meals served at the restaurant or they can grill their own meats at the barbecue station for dinner.

Infinity pool

The resort has an outdoor pool but for anyone that prefers nature, there is a beach at the bottom. The beach near the resort is a protected sanctuary and is therefore teeming with various marine life that can be encountered while swimming and snorkeling. If they’re lucky, guests may be able to spot sea turtles or whale sharks loitering around the vicinity. The resort lends out snorkels and floaters for free on a “first come, first serve” basis. 

The resort does have scenic views of the Boljoon waters but it is also a just a few minutes away from other Cebu tourist attractions such as the whale sharks or hidden falls in Oslob. Whether guests plan on basking in the picturesque view of Boljoon waters or swimming with the fishes on the beach, Jaynet Oceanview Resort has them covered.

Durhan White Beach Resort is considered as Tabuelan’s “Little Paradise” but the experience that awaits its guests is far from little.

Located 90 kilometers from Cebu City, Durhan White Beach Resort is another must-visit white sand beach fringing the island of Cebu.

As mentioned in its name, the resort’s well-maintained beachfront has a long stretch of white sand that serves as their main attraction. It is not only aesthetically pleasing but the sands are fine enough for a fun and comfortable game of beach volleyball as well.

Separating the sandy shores of the beach from the grassy and verdant gardens is a line of coconut and Talisay Trees coupled with other plants.

Near the entrance, most of the buildings look modern but inside is a rustic vibe from the various flora, bamboo and wood facades, and nipa hut cottages. As guests stroll around, they’ll notice benches lining the cemented paths with a seaside view that will set up the mood for intimate moments with loved ones.

Devout believers also have the Sta. Cruz Chapel for a place to practice their faith. For a more quiet and relaxing experience, Lola Perta’s Park offers the needed tranquility for a peaceful lone time while staring out into the sea and the Negros Island. 

Durhan White Beach Resort has an assortment of air conditioned and non-air conditioned rooms that are well-equipped with necessities that make the stay satisfying and comfortable.

They have cottages and non-conditioned rooms made of bamboo, nipa, and other native materials for experiencing the cool sea breeze. There are even non-air conditioned rest houses where big groups can store and cook their food.
