Kilyawan Farm Resort in Ibaan, Batangas, has earned national recognition after being named an Architecture Honoree in the Professional Category of the Haligi ng Dangal Awards 2026, presented by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).

What makes this family-run farm resort truly special is how it transformed an 8.5-hectare former agro-industrial chicken farm into a relaxing nature destination without losing its agricultural roots.

Designed by Dominic Galicia Architects, the resort creatively repurposed two old chicken coops into a reception building and guest cabin accommodations. Instead of starting from scratch, the design embraces the property’s existing trees, structures, and natural surroundings.

The cabins feature woven split bamboo ceilings, clay tile floors, clay brick walls, and reclaimed wood, creating a warm, rustic atmosphere. Even the cushions and pillowcases showcase the craftsmanship of local weavers in Ibaan, Batangas.

Tag-Ulan Na, Pero Kamusta ang Tiyan: Why Rainy Days Change Your Body’s Signals

There’s something undeniably comforting about the rainy season.

A warm bowl of lugaw, a steaming cup of coffee, crispy merienda, and the perfect excuse to stay indoors—it’s weather that invites us to slow down and indulge. But while we’re embracing these little comforts, our gut may be facing a different reality. Heavy rains, flooding, and increased humidity can raise the risk of food and water contamination, creating conditions that make digestive illnesses more common.

“Studies have linked periods of heavy rainfall and flooding with increased cases of diarrheal diseases and foodborne infections, making gut health an often-overlooked part of staying well during the season,” said Rica Mateo, Erceflora ASEA Zone Brand Lead. Continue reading →

Growing up on an island feels like a little blessing. I was lucky to grow up surrounded by the sea, where fresh-caught fish and seafood were always within reach. From simple family meals to special dishes prepared for celebrations, seafood has always been part of our table and a big part of my childhood memories.

One of the dishes that brings back those island memories is Crab Relleno. There’s something extra special about using freshly caught crabs, taking the meat out, preparing a flavorful filling, and stuffing it back into the shell.

It may take a little extra time and effort to prepare, but for me, Crab Relleno is more than just a delicious Filipino dish—it’s a taste of home, island life, and the simple joy of growing up with fresh seafood right from the sea.

School Bells and Warning Signals: Teaching Your Kids to Listen to Their Gut Early

Leave a comment

Back-to-school season often brings changes in routine, environment, and diet—making it a time when children’s digestive comfort can be more easily disrupted.

Parents are usually quick to track grades, behavior, and even immunity—but gut signals? Those often get lost somewhere between “I’m fine” and “I just don’t feel good.” The truth is that kids often feel discomfort in their gut long before they can explain it properly. What they can’t name, they act out, ignore, or brush off.

With the transition from a more relaxed summer schedule to structured school routines, changes in sleep, eating habits, and daily stress levels can show up in ways that are not always immediately obvious. According to an article by Everyday Parenting, kids are still figuring out how to interpret what their bodies are telling them—and the gut is often the first to speak, but the hardest to decode. What starts as mild tummy discomfort, a skipped meal, extra fatigue, or sudden irritability can easily be brushed off as “just a phase” or “bad mood,” when in reality, these may be subtle signals worth paying attention to.

That’s why gut awareness isn’t just a health topic—it’s an early life skill. Learning to recognize what their body is trying to say, even in its simplest form, helps kids respond better to their feelings instead of just pushing through them. Continue reading →
