Protect yourself and your loved ones - get vaccinated!

Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch. Upon entering the store near the pharmacy there was a sign posted saying to register for vaccines that will be held on April 12, 2025. Carmina called up Becky asking if she is interested remembered to look out for the flu shot. Becky said yes and asked her to give me full name, birthdate and phone number contact information.

It's Time to Plan Your Retirement

There will be a time in your life when you feel you want to return back where you use to live when you we're once young I have known some seniors who had migrated from California and decided to invest on a property in the Philippines a second home they can come back too when they plan to retire or a vacation home to fall back into other than renting a hotel room during their vacation. Sometimes it also goes vice versa but otherwise most people want to stay in a place where the weather is a little bit cooler than dealing with the tropical climate and most people end up investing their money in a townhouse or a ranch type of home when they know when they reach a certain age it will be difficult to use the staircase or body will no longer functions as when we're once young.
