In search of the ideal Father’s Day adventure? Drive with the new CRF150L!

The Perfect Off-Road Adventure Motorcycle for the Adventurous Dad

Father’s Day is quickly approaching. It’s a wonderful day where you may express your dad’s love and gratitude and help him regain his spirit of adventure. Instead of the typical party, why not travel and make lifelong memories?

Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the top motorbike manufacturer in the nation, offers some tips on how to organize that special “us-time” with your dad using the New CRF150L.

Camping. Not glamping. Do you recall camping out as a child in the backyard or your living room? Go outside and rough it with dad in a beautiful place. Your dad and you will have a more exciting encounter. Additionally, this bike has long-travel inverted Showa front forks, 70/100 – 21 front tires, and 90/100 – 18 rear tires, so you won’t need to worry if you’re driving over bumpy, uneven roads.

This makes the front more rigid allowing for better handling and feedback for the road. It also has striped side fairings and a firm extended seat with an 863-mm seat height. These features plus its 285-mm ground clearance give it a timeless – and not to mention imposing – motocross/enduro style feel while also offering practical off-road performance for the adventurer in you.

Moreover, the higher ground clearance reduces the chance of damage when going over obstacles and make the suspension feel less hard thereby, making the riding experience more enjoyable when compared to other motorcycles with lower ground clearance. So, the trip with dad will be not only memorable but enjoyable as well.

Additionally, the New CRF150L can easily handle uneven roads as it boasts a 149cc, 4-Stroke, 2 Valves, Single Overhead Cam (SOHC), Air-cooled, PGM-FI engine capable of delivering 9.13kW max power @ 8,000rpm, and 11.94Nm of max torque @ 6,500rpm. On top of that, the motorcycle’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) feature delivers outstanding fuel efficiency with 45.5 Km/L. This factor allows the motorcycle to make the most of its 7.2 Liter fuel tank thus optimizing its power-to-weight ratio.

Cross-country road trip. Want a different kind of adventure your dad won’t soon forget? Try visiting the places you both like to see but never had the chance to do so. Maybe a trip across the country might just be the perfect adventure trip for your dad? From a remote provincial town up north to a bustling city down south, the trip will surely satisfy the thrill-seeking spirit in your dad while making for a memorable experience.

And for an exciting ride that you and your dad won’t soon forget, The New CRF150L is equipped with a Pro-link Rear Suspension also by Showa. This feature gives you the ability to tune in as much as the rising rate as you want by switching the lengths and shapes of the components. The result is a smoother ride even over small bumps and better control when riding over bigger bumps on the road, not to mention improved maneuverability.  

This Off-Road adventure motorcycle is designed to provide riders – and thrill-seeking dads – everywhere with a motorcycle that can hit the trails while maintaining everyday rideability. And why not? After all, what better way for the most important guys in our lives to indulge their sense of adventure than exploring the great wide open in a bike that’s made with both style and substance in mind.  

To top it all off, The New CRF150L has safety features in spades. It comes with Front and Rear Hydraulic Disc Brakes, a compact yet powerful headlight, a digital meter panel, and sharp taillights. These elements help ensure maximum visibility and control when riding the bike both on and off-road. And this motorcycle is available in three color variants: Extreme Red, Ross White, and Black with a suggested retail price of P147,900.00.

The New CRF150L is unquestionably the best adventure vehicle thanks to its rugged design, competent engine, strong brakes, and exceptional features. Regardless of the adventure you and your dad prefer, why not help him experience one on a Honda motorcycle this Father’s Day to show your thanks for his perseverance and sacrifice?

A brand-new, full-length Filipino ballet titled “Ibalon” serves as the 37th season opener for the Philippine Ballet Theatre

The Philippine Ballet Theater’s goal is to share traditional Filipino stories that reflect the culture of our nation. They want to write and perform tales that are profoundly anchored in our history. A brand-new, full-length Filipino ballet titled “Ibalon” will launch PBT’s 37th season. Artistic Director and Choreographer Ronilo Jaynario draws inspiration from the well-known Bicolano epic “Ibalon” and concentrates on the romance between Handyong (The Warrior) and Oryol (The Cursed Creature). Jaynario makes a point of explaining that his choreography is a reimagining of a love story set against a background of Philippine mythology. He used artistic license and added nuances and plot twists to the story to produce a potent illustration of love in motion. He wants to fascinate his audience with vibrant dances drawn from Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon.

This story will be luxuriously told with original music by Paulo Zarate. Zarate explains that in creating the music, his approach was an exaggeration of what the music would have sounded like in ancient times. Filipino instruments in that period were more percussive and rhythmic. He took this into consideration but added bold and moving melodies, incorporating details of Filipino elements that he researched on, to make the music more epic. Zarate wanted to create music that would have a theatrical or cinematic effect on the audience, pushing them at the edge of their seat in excitement or sweeping them into the love story of Handyong and Oryol.

You will embark on a journey into the core of our culture and history with Matthew Davo’s portrayal of the warrior Handyong and Eloisa Jessa Tangalin’s portrayal of the doomed princess Oryol. The telling of our ancestors’ tales will come to life with song and dance thanks to PBT’s emerging talents.

Zarate and Jaynario shared a desire to make a lasting contribution to the heritage of Philippine dance. Old Filipino tales are no longer discussed, but ingenuity can change that. A beautiful representation of our culture can be made using both new and old elements. From July 28 to July 29, 2023, PBT’s “Ibalon” will be shown in the elegant Samsung Theater. The fundraising effort for the 65th Anniversary of the Ramon Magsaysay Awards will profit entirely from sales on July 29.

Title: IBALON

Venue: Samsung Performing Arts Theatre

Date & Time of Performances: July 28, 2023, Friday 8:00 pm, July 29, 2023, Saturday 8:00 pm

McDonald’s Philippines plans to hire 20,000 people in 2023 to support its ongoing expansion


Proud McDonald’s managers and crew ready to bring more feel-good moments in stores nationwide

Under the leadership of its master franchise holder and owner Dr. George T. Yang and President and CEO Kenneth S. Yang, McDonald’s Philippines, which currently has close to 60,000 employees, will offer more than 20,000 job possibilities to Filipinos as it continues to open new restaurants throughout the nation.

“With every new store that we open, we are able to provide employment opportunities in local  communities where the store is located. We directly hire all our people and do not practice contractualization. This has always been the way we hire our people since our chairman, Dr. George T. Yang opened the 1st McDonald’s in the Philippines in Morayta, Manila in 1981—and it is something that we will continue to do. We believe that if our people working in the restaurants have job security first, it will allow them to focus and do well in their job of serving our customers. ” said Kenneth S. Yang, President and CEO of McDonald’s Philippines.

McDonald’s Philippines takes pleasure in the top-notch training it offers its employees, giving them the competitive edge in the business as they learn about various international methods and procedures for restaurant service. This pride extends beyond job security. Through an extensive learning and development program, McDonald’s employees are able to develop professionally and learn skills that will last a lifetime.

McDonald’s employees also receive annual salary increases, insurance, hospital and medical benefits, special employee discounts, and other allowances.

According to the fast-food chain, priority areas for hiring Management Trainees are Nueva Ecija, Isabela, Montalban, Dumaguete, Bacolod, Makati, Manila, Quezon City, Pampanga, Tagaytay, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon, Rizal, Lucena and Pasig City. Priority areas for crew members are Parañaque, Manila, Pasay, Pasig, Marikina, Taytay, Antipolo, Kidapawan, and Davao City.

Equal Opportunity Employer

McDonald’s Philippines takes pride in being an equal opportunity employer, providing career opportunities to working students and Filipinos from all walks of life—regardless of background, age, gender, or sexual orientation.

From the crew room to the boardroom, the quick service restaurant (QSR) giant is driven by a good representation of women with more than 50% taking vital positions and leadership roles.

Along with providing regular employment, McDonald’s Philippines also ensures a safe and inclusive workplace that allows its people to thrive. As one of the country’s biggest employers, McDonald’s Philippines champions equity where all employees, whether in its head office or stores, have equal access to training and development and advancement opportunities.

McDonald’s extends this to more members of the community with programs like WIP or Workforce Immersion Program. WIP provides training for Senior High School students by allowing them firsthand experience of the fast food industry and its operations; the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES), in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), where McDonald’s helps in providing jobs for underprivileged students and out-of-school youth through employing them to become McDonald’s crew members. Since adopting SPES in 2011, McDonald’s has provided 16,319 Filipino youth with employment opportunities.

In partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Philippine Business for Education (PBEd), McDonald’s Alternative Workforce Program offers work-based training positions for 5,000 unemployed and out-of-school youths through YouthWorksPH to provide beneficiaries with financial knowledge, skills, and access to resources necessary to effectively manage finances through adulthood.
