During the Ford Philippines media drive last month, I got to drive around and visit some attractions in the mountains of Cebu, along the National Transcentral Highway. Included in the itinerary were a flower garden and lettuce farms where we got to deliver plastic drums to the farmers and delivered their freshly harvested produce to the nearest buying facility.
However the highlight of the drive was, we got to test out two pickup trucks from Ford. The 4×2 2.2 litre TDCi Ford Ranger XLT and the new 4×4 2.0L Bi-turbo Ford Ranger WILDTRAK.
Both are very awesome trucks but the WILDTRAK was definitely way cooler than the former. Here’s why.
LOOKS
For an untrained eye, a WILDTRAK could be easily distinguished because it has the word Wildtrak all over it. Also, it has a different wheel mag than the other variants, an 18” alloy mag to be specific. Aesthetically, it almost looks the same with the other variants. But a Wildtrak is a Wildtrak.
4×2 2.2 litre TDCi Ford Ranger XLT 4×4 2.0L Bi-turbo Ford Ranger WILDTRAK
ENGINE
The new WILDTRAK is equipped with a 2.0L Bi-turbo diesel engine. It has the same engine with FORD’s Ranger RAPTOR. The 2.0L Bi-turbo engine offers great power despite from lowering its displacement from a 2.2-Litre to a 2.0-Litre. It can deliver a power of 213HP and a torque of 500Nm. It is equipped with a 10 automatic transmission
Opinion: I could really feel the power of the new engine because I tried the Wildtrak on steep uphills and it devoured the climb easily.

HANDLING
It is equipped with electrical power assisted steering
(EPAS). This makes steering smoother and easier on bigger wheel size.
Opinion: The WILDTRAK gave a more responsive steering wheel. The XLT had a very short lag on my experience, nevertheless it was really short and it doesn’t lower down its overall handling performance.
INTERIOR
The WILDTRAK had a digital rpm monitor which you can toggle
on and off. It is also connected to the head unit so you could easily check the
headunit without looking at the actual headunit. The overall interior has a
touch of luxury despite for the fact that the truck was built for heavy and
tough usage.
Opinion: I really don’t have much to say with the interior but I do love how cool the dashboard panel and its display is.

OTHERS
The WILDTRAK is perfect for those who are not used to
driving larger vehicles. It has sensors surrounding the vehicles that detects
nearby objects and notifies the driver how close an object is.
Active park assist. When activated the, the vehicle would fine a parallel parking space and will do the steering itself.
Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB). It helps detecting pedestrians and vehicles nearby and precharges the brakes to be more
sensitive when to be applied suddenly. If you fail to react on time, it can
automatically apply the brakes.
Tailgate assist lift.
A tailgate of a pickup truck is really have, lowering it down could cost
you an effort. With the tailgate assist,
opening and closing of the tailgate will be at ease because of the added
torsional bar.
The WILDTRAK is a really great pickup. From the looks to performance, it is undoubtedly built for tough trips. If I were to choose a pickup truck, then I would definitely go for Ford.

You might have probably heard of it already. But did you know the new Filipino Marvel superheroine is from Cebu?
Launched just last March 8 in time for International Women’s Day, a Marvel comic book writer announced a new comic book superhero — a Filipina named ‘Wave’, who lives in Cebu.
Wave has been described by Marvel as “a mysterious new Filipino heroine.” She has the identifiable Filipino “morena” skin, a green and gold costume, and Philippine-inspired weapons.
Designed and co-created by Filipino comic book artist Leinil Francis Yu, Wave will appear for the first time in the comics “War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas #1,” the first of four issues.
This will be available at comic book stores by May 2019.
We discovered a gem in the rustic stretch of Southern Cebu. Quite special that you can’t find anywhere else in the province, rarely in the country. A gem that shines best in the brightest season of the year, summer! It will probably make you think of “pools” and “beaches”. But would you care if we step that up a notch? Let’s bring those waves into our pools and experience a genuine splash while enjoying the countryside cascade.
And whether you are looking for a lovely weekend, exciting escape from the city, or much more… then this paragon in the valleys of Pinamungajan is the best way to kick start your summer. Reintroducing, the newly improved Hidden Valley Resort!
Hidden Valley Resort is a complex of pools, cottages, adventure and a beautiful overlooking scenery. And while there is much that we can tell you about how ideal this place is for your next trip, let’s break down the pieces.
Hidden Valley Pools
Although it’s uncommon to serve the main dish right head on, we will tell you right away that this should be your #1 reason to visit Hidden Valley Resort – the Wave Pools.
Wave Pool
Who wouldn’t be thrilled by the idea of waves in a pool… deep in the mountains? The idea of wave pool has been around not quite while. Wave pools replicate the movement of the ocean in some science-y ways we are not sure you are interested about. Rest assured… Every other 30 mins of your stay in the wave pool will surely be electrifying when the waves are on.
Infinity Pool / Raging River
What attracts most people to like infinity pools is in the description itself – a pool that gives the impression that it merges into the ocean or other surrounding landscape. At Hidden Valley Resorts, you get to enjoy the infinity pool circumscribed by the wave pool plus the ravishing mountain scenery.
Mountain Pool
One way to name the pool we used to love. However ordinary, the amazing surrounding view, town house-like ambiance and the fresh valley breeze add a lot of feels.
More about the Hidden Valley Resort
While we are sure you will be having fun, the resort also makes sure you feel comfortable. There is a variety of comfort options for you, whichever suits your needs or your family or friends’. Don’t be lost in these options or to this beauty.
The resort also has an amphitheater, function rooms, gym, sports, and spa center. It is not just a resort but a micro community hidden in the valleys. You can be productive while having fun.
The resort is created with the community in mind. The reason, there is just a lot of things to do and enjoy at Hidden Valley Resort.
It is one of the properties run by the Lamac Cooperative. One of the premiere cooperatives in the province. Apart from all the three types of pools in this resort, you might also be interested to visit the Hidden Valley Beach, as well as the Lamac Dairy and Organic Farm pre or post Hidden Valley Resort trip.
So make sure to ask any staff at the resort if you would wish to visit the other sites. They will be more than glad to assist you.
RATES & OTHER INFORMATION
Rates as of September 2018:
NOTE: Rates are subject to change without prior notice.
Exact location: Barangay Lamac, Municipality of Pinamungajan. Approx. 1.5 hour away from the city via Bunga-Lutopan road (recommended route).
For commuters, take a bus in Cebu South Bus Terminal going to Lutopan, Toledo City. Inform the driver to drop you off at Eskina Bunga for Hidden Valley. Bus fare is ₱40 per head, while travel time is about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the traffic. From Lutopan, take a “habal-habal” (motorcycle) going to Hidden Valley Wave Pool. Two people could accommodate the “habal-habal” and each has to pay ₱60 (one-way). If you’re alone, you’ll have to pay ₱120 for the fare. Travel time is another 15-20 minutes for 14km.
If you’re bringing your own car, READ CAREFULLY. We do not recommend using Waze since it will take you to the longer route. However, you can use it to navigate going to “Bunga, Lutopan”. You will then find a group of habal-habal few meters after a gas station. Then take a turn to the left until you’ve reached to the resort. There’s ample parking space available.
If the Korean cuisine has the famous Samgyeopsal, the Japanese has its distinct version, the Yakiniku — a Japanese term that means “grilled meat”.
Cebu Sumibi Yakiniku Tajimaya offers a unique and authentic Japanese dining experience with its smoke-free charcoal-grilled (yakiniku) food. Perfectly grilled delicacies, unlimited meat and authentic Japanese sauce won’t let you put your chopsticks down.
For only 650php per head, you can Grill All You Want and Eat All You Can at Cebu Sumibi Yakiniku Tajimaya.
There are a lot of choices — there’s beef, pork, chicken, shrimps, sausages, fishballs, livers, chicken gizzards and wings, vegetables, fries, and soup. It includes french fries, too!
Our team were lucky to be invited to actually taste their food. And I must say this is definitely one of the best in town! We love the premium quality of the meat — it is more flavorful and is easier to grill because of the thin cuts.
If you are not much a fan of unlimited food and would just want to eat quality food, Cebu Sumibi Yakiniku also offers ala carte and set meals that will surely satisfy your cravings.
Set Meal A
Cebu Sumibi Yakiniku Tajimaya’s fourth and newest branch is located at the corner left of Gaisano Country Mall in Banilad, Cebu City.

Even with the rising popularity of streaming TV and movie shows like Netflix and other foreign influences like K-Pop, many are still fond of watching anime and reading manga. In fact, I know some Cebuano friends who wish there would be a manga-theme cafe in Cebu or at least a library dedicated to anime and manga.
If you are one of these fans, you are in for a perfect treat! MangaHolic’s Reading Lounge has finally opened its doors at Gaisano Country Mall – Banilad Cebu City, serving guests daily from 9AM to 10PM.
As its name suggests, the MangaHolic’s Reading Lounge is a dedicated library space where guests can take a quick (or long) break from reality and curl up with a favorite manga—or a stack of manga.

There is a 300-hectare marine protected area at the center of the sea which is part from one of the six double barrier reefs in the world. A shark den which is a protected area too. It is a 45-minute to an hour travel time from the mainland Lapu-Lapu City.

Finally, BE Resort, Mactan is done with its major makeover and it is better than ever!
It’s not new when we say that Philippines is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. More so is hearing people say “Boracay or Palawan” when we ask them for perfect beach destinations. Hey! Cebu should be on the list too because aside from delicious Cebuano cuisines, we are also home to serene resorts.
BE Resort, Mactan is just the perfect fit for your ideal beach getaway. If you want an escape to your own private sanctuary, BE Resort offers beachfront accommodations with a youthful vibe at an affordable price.

On the other hand, if you’re one buffet afficionado, Yakimix is surely a must-visit. They have smokeless grill and they serve Japanese, Korean and Chinese cuisines. Where else do you want to go? Everything is served fresh, too!
However, if you’re on a strict diet and instead of treating yourself to some food you’d rather pamper yourself, Bangs Prime Salon is also where you should go too! They do not only offer you the same services because they make sure to provide you looks that will make you feel good about yourself.
Have we provided you enough tips to help you prep for summer? Wait until we unveil more.
Don’t miss THE GREAT SEASIDE SALE on May 17-19, 2019 and enjoy huge discounts of up to 70% OFF! You’re welcome! *winks*
