Filipinos are known for their malasakit — always finding ways to care for their loved ones. Amid rising prices, many now turn to practical yet meaningful ways to secure their family’s peace of mind.
Reflecting the values of malasakit and practicality, Palawan ProtekTODO, from your trusted Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala, offers insurance that is designed to be affordable and accessible for the everyday Filipino. Just like everyday essentials available in sachets, ProtekTODO makes financial protection available in small, abot-kaya prices – easy to purchase, easy to understand, and easy to benefit from.
Chief Business Development Officer Lisa Castro-Sabado explained: “ProtekTODO represents more than just affordable insurance — it’s a step toward a future where every Filipino has access to protection that fits their lifestyle and budget. We’re making financial security not a privilege, but a norm for every family, in every community – truly patingi-tingi ang presyo pero todo ang benepisyo (affordable but full of benefits).”
Trees are a blessing to humankind. They symbolize life and provide sustenance to every human being through their fruits, clean and fresh air, and protection from external harm, such as strong winds and rain. However, the current state of our Philippine forests calls for urgent and widespread reforestation efforts, as recent data shows that forest coverage is now only at a concerning 23% of the total land area, according to a study.

Freddy’s back and he’s bringing more friends in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the sequel to the 2023 box-office horror phenomenon based on the hit game series by Scott Cawthon. Animatronic horror gets on a whole new level with iconic Freddy Fazbear nightmares debuting on the big screen.
As the first Five Nights at Freddy’s became a box office sensation, earning nearly $300 million worldwide, producer Jason Blum credits the success to the careful collaboration with original creator Scott Cawthon. “Scott Cawthon is one of the most thoughtful creators I have ever worked with,” Blum says. “He is deeply involved in every part of Five Nights at Freddy’s—the strategy, the business and the creative decisions. What really sets him apart is how connected he is to the fan community. He is constantly thinking about what will surprise them, what will make them happy, and how to honor what they love about the franchise.”
