This Christmas, let’s celebrate the season of giving through travel that touches both heart and heritage.
On December 27 and January 3, we invite you to join our HABI: Christmas Heritage Tour – Bustos & Baliuag Edition, a one-day countryside journey crafted especially for seniors.
Experience the enduring charm of historic churches, eco-parks, and heritage homes; immerse in a hands-on minasa-making demonstration; enjoy a heartwarming children’s musical performance on violin; and take part in a meaningful give-back initiative supporting Bahay at Yaman ni San Martin de Porres—a sanctuary for children in need.
Proceeds from this tour will be donated to the Bahay at Yaman ni San Martin de Porres, supporting children under their care (OPTIONAL: You may bring in-kind gifts for the children, who are aged 9 to 17. Preferred items include canned goods, toiletries, and school supplies.)
