A historic occasion that combines sporting and history will take place in Baguio City. On September 3, 2023, the Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) will host the first-ever Victory Day Ride, which will take cycling enthusiasts and history buffs on a tour to remember the sacrifices made by World War II veterans and spread awareness of Baguio Victory Day.
Mike Villa-Real, PVB first vice president for marketing and communications, said “the enactment of R.A. 11216 in 2018, marks September 3rd of each year as a special working holiday, marking Yamashita’s surrender and Victory Day in the Philippines. This day in 1945 is clearly a significant historical event marking the success and along with it, the toil and sacrifices, of the soldiers of both the United States and the Philippines. However, it is not as well-known as the “Araw ng Kagitingan” (Day of Valor) commemorated April 9 each year.”
Organized in partnership with the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO), City Government of Baguio, Wartime Heritage Guild Philippines (WHG), Without Limits, Salgado PR, this ride aims to foster a deeper understanding of the city’s significant role during WWII while encouraging active participation in the sport of cyclists of all ages and backgrounds.
Inspired by the annual Ride for Valor that retraces the infamous Death March, the Victory Day Bike Ride takes a different route, focusing on the historical sites and landmarks associated with Baguio City’s role in World War II. Cyclists and participants will embark on a 44.5 kilometer route that meanders through the city’s picturesque landscapes and historical spots, providing a unique opportunity to relive the past and honor the heroes who fought valiantly for freedom.
While the Ride for Valor primarily focuses on the Death March, the Victory Day Bike Ride aims to balance the narrative by shedding light on the broader scope of World War II history in the Philippines. The Victory Day Bike Ride seeks to increase awareness about Baguio City’s role during the war. The event intends to give due recognition to the countless Filipino and American soldiers who fought for the country’s liberation
The Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) invites sports and cycling enthusiasts to join the Ride for Victory Day, a bike-for-a-cause event that aims to raise funds for the maintenance of the country’s historical markers and other World War 2 heritage sites.
The ride is open to fully vaccinated cyclists and all types of bikes with brakes. Villa-Real said participants may ride at their own pace, and will also implement a “No Helmet, No Ride” policy to ensure the safety of the participants.
Villa-Real also said a mechanic will be available to help those who encounter mechanical difficulties, while roving marshals will be present to keep track of the riders’ progress. Support vehicles are allowed, but riders should only ride in the vehicle if they choose to drop out of the event.
The non-competitive bike ride will have 5 pitstops: Start at Baguio City Hall, First Stop, Camp Allen, Second Stop, USAFIP-NL Marker, Third Stop, Sablan View Deck, Fourth Stop, Fort Del Pilr (Philippine Military Academy), Fifth and Final Stop, US Embassy in Camp John Hay.
The Ride for Victory Day registration price is P600 and includes a commemorative medal, an official event jersey, a race bib and passport, a loot bag, and a post-ride feast.
Before September 1, interested parties may register online at https://bit.ly/victorydayride-regform, while groups may send an email to [email protected]. Participants may also register on-site at the Baguio City branch of INSERT BIKE SHOP PARTNERS.
Veterans and their families from World War 2 own PVB, a private commercial bank. After the Bank’s new Charter was enacted into law, Post War Veterans and AFP Retirees became part owners.

In Metro Manila’s largest cities, there is an increasing need for residential space. This is because the real estate industry is thought to profit from the economy’s further opening up, particularly the increase in foreign investments and the reintroduction of office mandates.
In response to the rising demand for investment-worthy properties in Metro Manila, Federal Land, Inc.’s flagship real estate developer Horizon Land has launched Quantum Residences, a three-tower building ideally situated along Taft Avenue in Pasay City.
“Taft Avenue has seen a lot of development in the past decade and has been home to many students, young professionals, and growing families who are drawn by its proximity to top-notch schools, thriving business districts, and complete services and amenities that are essential for everyday life,” said John Frederick Cabato, General Manager of Horizon Land. “It is precisely this harmony of completeness, convenience, and vibrance that inspired the vision for Quantum Residences, now on its’ third and final tower. With this strategically located three-tower condo, Horizon Land empowers residents to pursue their aspirations and live a balanced and meaningful life.”
Located near the intersection of Taft Avenue and Sen. Gil Puyat (Buendia) Avenue, Quantum Residences’ big draws are accessibility and convenience. It is nestled near some of the top-performing universities in Metro Manila like De La Salle University, De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde, Arellano University, St. Scholastica’s College, and University of the Philippines Manila, as well as premier business centers like Makati Central Business District and Manila Bay Area.
Another draw of Quantum Residences is its transit-oriented location. Commuting residents can enjoy the pleasure of getting to places conveniently as city buses and jeepneys regularly ply the area. LRT-1 and PNR stations are also a stone’s throw away, while going to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange, and Metro Manila Skyway would only take a short trip from the condominium.
Worthwhile investment
Quantum Residences has been proven to be a popular choice among homebuyers and investors since its launch. Its first two towers, the Aqua and Amethyst Towers, have enjoyed brisk and consistent sales take-up as more buyers see high investment potential in modern and affordable developments located in prime areas.
Prospective homebuyers and investors can expect Quantum Residences to become a lucrative investment. Investors are provided with well-built units for rent, which can benefit from rising prices and improving rental yields because of its central location to Makati CBD, Bay Area business park, university belt, various dining options, and retail hubs. While homeowners can enjoy comfortable living spaces that nurture a balanced and dynamic lifestyle as they face the ‘next normal.’
Work-life balance takes center stage
Quantum Residences offers studio units that are perfect for students, one-bedroom units ideal for young professionals, and two-bedroom units best for start-up families.
Each residential unit will be equipped with smart features like keycard door lock security, USB outlets, and fiber-optic internet connection provisions. Rest and relaxation comes easy with a wide range of wellness and recreational amenities such as swimming pools, fitness gym, KTV room, sky lounge, game room, gazebo, multi-purpose court, pocket garden, plaza, and jogging paths.
Residents who work or study from home can find alternate spaces for remote work and study at the business center, conference room, study lounge, and hobby room.
There will also be two levels dedicated to commercial and retail units located on the ground floor and second floor of the towers.

“We believe in giving our customers the power of choice, that is why we advocate for a multiple pathway approach to achieving carbon neutrality in mobility,” said Okamoto. “Widespread adoption of electrified vehicles is one of those paths and we are glad to give the public accessible and practical electrified vehicle options.”
The “Go Electrified with Toyota” fair allows customers to familiarized and personally experience electrified vehicles especially HEVs that are appropriate with the current needs and conditions of the country. By giving its customers a wide range of choices and eliminating hurdles to shifting to electrified technology, TMP is enabling Filipinos to start contributing to global decarbonization for a more sustainable future.

The world’s biggest cleft-focused charity, Smile Train, and Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines, Inc. (NCFPI) open the nation’s first Cleft Leadership Center (CLC), united by a shared mission to enhancing access to cleft care. The opening of this premier cleft clinic, which coincides with Smile Train’s milestone of funding more than 75,000 cleft surgeries in the Philippines, affirms the organization’s ongoing commitment to offering improved progressive care, particularly for cleft-affected Filipinos in need. As we witnessed the event, I acquired so much information about the organization and its genuine mission to give a bright smile to those with cleft palates. I also had the chance to talk to one of the surgeons there and get enlightened on how these surgeries work, especially for the young ones. I was delighted that the event was successfully held and we got so much information from them.
“Smile Train celebrates its 75,000 cleft surgery milestone this year and, as we recognize this significant accomplishment, we know there is still more work ahead of us. The launch of the CLC represents our commitment to continuously providing safe, high-quality, and timely care for the Philippine cleft community by building a stronger, comprehensive cleft care system,” shared Kimmy Coseteng-Flaviano, Smile Train’s Vice President for Southeast Asia.
The CLC also functions as a regional center for cleft care and education, building on Smile Train’s all-inclusive strategy and long-term paradigm for cleft care. The CLC’s presence in the nation fills the gap between the community of Filipinos with clefts and their accessibility to high-quality cleft care.
High-Quality Cleft Care
The CLC is a multidisciplinary center that provides 100% free comprehensive cleft care from birth to adulthood, powered by a capable local network of medical professionals.
To reach more cleft-affected Filipinos in need, Smile Train strengthened its existing partnership with NCFPI, an organization thatleads the standard of multidisciplinary cleft care in the Philippines. Both organizations work together to provide free, quality cleft care to Filipinos who would otherwise not be able to afford the treatment they need.
Dr. Bernard Tansipek
“NCFPI is a long-time partner of Smile Train in bringing holistic cleft care to cleft-affected individuals in the Philippines. The CLC ensures that an individual’s treatment journey does not stop with cleft surgery but also requires other services necessary for them to live a full and healthier life,” said Dr. Bernard Tansipek, President of NCFPI.
The CLC brings comprehensive cleft care closer to Filipinos as it houses different services necessary for holistic treatment and rehabilitation. All these can be found in NCFPI’s two sites: the Smile Train Craniofacial Center in Joshua Center, which has orthodontic and speech therapy services, and at the Our Lady of Peace Hospital in Parañaque where surgeries, orthodontics and dental treatment, nutrition services, and counseling are held.
Dental Room at the Cleft Leadership Center in Joshua Center, Taft, Manila
The CLC also serves as a training and educational hub for local medical practitioners. The skills and experience of the cleft teams and state-of-the-art technology in these centers help build local medical capacity in treating different types of clefts, ensuring that Filipinos do not have to travel far to get access to high-quality cleft care. Smile Train supports NCFPI with the needed resources and enables them to help those in need.
Going Beyond the 75k Smiles
The opening of the first CLC in the Philippines opens the door for more Filipinos to receive the excellent, secure, and free care they require. More than this, it also symbolizes a continual innovation and improvement of care that will result in a more ideal outcome for every procedure.
