DepEd, Rebisco Partner to Boost Youth Development and Wellness Through Volleyball

Wazzup Pilipinas!?



The Department of Education (DepEd), in partnership with Rebisco and Creamline, will collaborate to nurture youth values formation and wellness through grassroots volleyball development.

Education Secretary Sonny Angara, an advocate for youth development through sports, underscored the significance of REBISCOVER Learning partnership, which includes the RebisCONGRESS or the conduct of training programs and volleyball clinics among the schools’ volleyball coaches and athletes.

Sec. Angara led the ceremonial volleyball toss, alongside Creamline Cool Smashers members Michelle Gumabao, Tots Carlos, and Kyle Negrito, following the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement with the Rebisco Group of Companies on Tuesday.

“Ganyan po ang Pinoy, pag dating sa edukasyon, pagdating sa sports, bayanihan, tulong-tulong,” Sec. Angara said.

Key leaders from the Rebisco Group of Companies, including Mr. Jonathan Ng (President of Suncrest Foods Incorporated, SFI Multimix Corporation, and Multirich Foods Corporation) President, Mr. Geronimo R. Kamus (President of Rebisco) Mr. David T. Yuyucheng (President of SPI Corporation), Mr. Victor C. Janolino (Head of Marketing Excellence) and Mr. Jerry T. Tan (Head of Rebisco Foundation) joined the ceremony, alongside Executive Committee officials from the Department of Education.

Through the program, Creamline will provide volleyball kits, tutorial videos, and learning camps to schools nationwide.



“We thank Rebisco for supporting the restoration of service facilities such as sports clinics and canteens so we will have the next Michelle, Tots, and Kylie. Mga bata pa lang, mahahasa na ang kanilang galing,” he added.

Biyaheng South Experiential Tour 2024: Discovering the History and Culture of Cavite

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

As a Ka-Biyahero on the Biyaheng South Experiential Tour 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the history and culture of Cavite alongside fellow influencers and media partners. This tour, organized by Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South) in partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT) Region IV-A (CALABARZON) and the Provincial Government of Cavite, was an adventure filled with discoveries, stories, and local experiences that I’ll never forget.

Day 1: Exploring Silang and Tagaytay

Our journey began at the MPT South Hub, a stunning model of sustainability with its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification. The solar panels, biophilic design, and EV charging stations made it clear that this isn’t just a headquarters—it’s a testament to eco-friendly innovation.

Next, we traveled to Shambala Silang, where the Tawid Gallery opened our eyes to the indigenous arts and crafts of the region. The traditional pieces on display helped us connect with the heritage of Cavite in a meaningful way. Afterward, we enjoyed a unique dining experience at Siglo Moderno Filipino. The “Lakbay Lokal Platter,” featuring Laing Dinamita, Sisiglaw Salad, and Himagsikan wings, showcased local flavors with a modern twist, creating a true culinary adventure.

In the afternoon, we reached the iconic Taal Vista Hotel, where we didn’t just relax but dove into the rich history of Tagaytay. The hotel’s history walk tour was a fascinating journey through time, from the origins of the Taal Volcano to the hotel’s enduring legacy. To cap off the day, we had a blast at Sky Ranch Tagaytay before indulging in a delicious Japanese dinner at Suteki, adding an international flavor to our Filipino-centric day.

Day 2: Discovering Maragondon

On our second day, we headed to the peaceful town of Maragondon. The tranquil Maragondon Balsa River Cruise offered us a relaxing start to the day, with a lunch that highlighted local flavors in a serene riverside setting.

After lunch, we visited the Bonifacio Trial House, where we gained a deeper understanding of the region’s pivotal role in Philippine history as we walked in the footsteps of national hero Andres Bonifacio. The experience brought history to life in a profound way.

One of the most memorable parts of the tour was the Likhang Maragondon Bamboo Weaving Workshop. We got hands-on experience learning the intricate art of bamboo weaving from local artisans, creating our own placemats. It was incredible to participate in a tradition that’s been passed down for generations and to witness firsthand how this community is preserving their cultural heritage.

We ended our journey with a delightful snack at Lolo Claro’s Restaurant, wrapping up two days of exploration, learning, and unforgettable experiences.

Why It Matters

Being part of the Biyaheng South Experiential Tour made it clear that this isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about supporting local economies and promoting sustainable tourism. As DOT Region IV-A Director Marites Castro said, this initiative is about creating memorable, convenient experiences that showcase the unique beauty of Southern Luzon.

With MPT South leading the way, this tour highlights how infrastructure development can enhance tourism, foster economic growth, and make hidden treasures like Cavite more accessible. The collaboration between MPT South, the DOT, and local tourism groups ensures that both travelers and local communities benefit from these efforts.

I’m proud to be a Ka-Biyahero on this journey, exploring the wonders of Southern Luzon and contributing to its growth. The Biyaheng South Experiential Tour 2024 has left a lasting impression, and I can’t wait to see where the next adventure takes us!
