Prestone’s Have a safe summer-balik adventure with your loved ones
The summer season has arrived, so prepare for higher temperatures. And yes, there is no better way to beat the heat than a revenge vacation, where you can cool off in the water while exploring unique places with the people you care about.
Prestone, a trusted quality brand of Auto Care fluids since 1927, has compiled a list of some of the best quick getaway destinations easily reached after a couple of hours.
Batangas is a popular quick-trip destination because it can be reached from the National Capital Region (NCR) in just over two hours. The province is well-known for the Taal Volcano, but it also has excellent diving sites and beaches with various amenities and atmospheres perfect for a summer vacation.
Beautiful beaches, ideal for kayaking, snorkeling, and other water sports, can be found in the cities of Nasugbu, Lemery, Lian, and San Juan. Anilao, located in Mabini, is a fantastic scuba diving destination for experienced and inexperienced divers.
You should also visit Fantasy World, a Disneyland-themed fairytale castle, and Fortune Island, which displays Grecian pillars, while you’re in Batangas, and indulge in some of its famous delicacies like Loming Batangas and Kapeng Barako.
La Union, also known as Elyu, is a popular surfing destination in the Philippines. San Juan is known as the “Surfing Capital of Northern Luzon” due to its consistent ten-foot waves.
Plan a trip to La Union, about four hours’ drive from Metro Manila, if you and your loved ones are up for the challenge of braving the monstrous waves to beat the season’s heat. Beginners can take surfing lessons to enjoy the waves just as much as more experienced surfers. Aside from that, La Union is full of other tourist destinations to explore and delectable food to feast on.
Sandy beaches, incredible coves, and historical sites are just a few of Zambales’ many claims to fame. However, if you and your friends are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime scuba diving experience this summer, look no further than this province and, more specifically, Subic Bay.
Driving time from NCR to wreck diving destinations spanning the Spanish-American War to World War II averages just over four hours. Zambales is a great place to try new things, and it offers many opportunities to do so.
Baguio City, Philippines, is often visited by people looking to escape the sweltering heat of the National Capital Region (NCR), as its summertime highs average only 15–23 degrees Celsius.
You and your friends or family can travel from the Metro to the City of Pines, so named for the tall pine trees that cover the hillsides, in just four hours. After that, the summer heat won’t be a problem while you enjoy the city’s famous parks, activities, and delicious cuisine.
Burnham Park, a green space in the middle of Baguio City, Camp John Hay, a recreational compound packed with fun activities, and the Baguio Cathedral, renowned for its Neo-Gothic architecture, are all must-sees.
In the meantime, Prestone stresses the importance of double-checking all of your car’s components and fluid levels before setting out on a summer road trip.
“Vehicles provide more effort during long-distance driving. To avoid automobile breakdowns or mishaps in the middle of the road and guarantee that they are in good condition this summer season, owners should inspect their components and fluids, particularly BLOCBAGETS – meaning brakes, lights, oil, coolant, battery, air, gas, engine, tires, and self. In addition, vehicle owners should make this practice a habit whenever they are about to take a journey, long or short, to prevent road accidents,” said Monique Gonzales, Marketing Manager for Southeast Asia at Clorox International Philippines, Inc.
