Stretching Every Peso? Here’s How More Filipinos Can Stay One Step Ahead with Maya

There’s a certain rhythm to our everyday life. Mornings start early—some heading to the city, others preparing for a day in the barangay. There are market runs to plan, fuel to budget, bills to remember, and somewhere in between, small moments you try to hold onto, like a quick coffee, a family meal, or a well-earned weekend break. But lately, that rhythm has gotten a little harder to keep up with. Not because anything drastic has changed overnight, but because everything seems to be moving all at once. Expenses come in faster, gaps between paydays feel shorter, and the margin for error? Smaller than ever. It’s not always the big purchases that throw things off. More often, it’s the quiet, everyday spending. These are the kind you barely notice until you start adding things up.

Tasting Local Food: Salmon and Mushroom Chicharon, Pastillas, and Chili Garlic Sauce

If you are looking for "pasalubong" to give away to your friends you can try these food products I have tasted recently. These are made in here in SoCCSKSarGen so you will be bringing the region with you to people who have not been here, who want to here, or who have been here but missing our place.


So I received a pack of local goods containing a pack of salmon cracklings (chicharon), mushroom cracklings, pastillas delights, and chili garlic sauce.

I made a video as a tried these local delicacies:


The products I featured, as well as other local products, can be availed of as Ellyne's Pasalubong Market, Maduramente Building, National Highway, General Santos City. If you are interested, you can check out their Facebook page or contact them through phone number 0945 789 4134.

See you at the MunaTo Festival 2025 and Celebrate Sarangani’s Culture, Rhythm, and Resilience

As Sarangans, when it's the last week of November, we know the drill. It's MunaTo Festival! And yes, the festive spirit is rising once again in— and you can already feel the energy building up across Sarangani Province! As Sarangani celebrates its 33rd Founding Anniversary alongside the 23rd MunaTo Festival, the province pays tribute to its roots, its people, and its thriving cultural identity. “MunaTo,” meaning “First People,” is more than just a name — it's a reminder that Sarangani’s story is deeply grounded in its heritage and in the communities that have shaped its vibrant character. This year’s theme, “ Kultura Natin, Lakas Natin, ” captures the soul of the celebration — a powerful declaration that culture is at the heart of Sarangani’s strength and unity. From November 28 to 30, 2025, the Sarangani Capitol Grounds will once again come alive with music, color, and culture. But a personal favorite of mine? The festivities start even before the main program — and they’r...
