Late-night commuters, especially students and workers, face increasing risk when trying to get home after hours.

(Photo was taken at around 6PM, 3 hours before the LRT station closes)

Many rely on public transportation like the LRT, but the current operating hours leave them stranded with a few options, especially in the late evening when safety becomes a concern.

Extending the LRT's operating hours could provide a safer and more reliable alternative to waiting for jeepneys or other modes of transport.

For those leaving work or school late, the extended LRT service would ease the stress of commuting, providing a more secure way to travel during the nighttime hours.

By extending the LRT's operating hours, we can ensure that students and employees can return home safely, without having to worry about the dangers of late-night commutes.

ELEMENTS OF HEALTH (500PHP)

According to The Silhouette Spa owner Jael Ilao,

We promote not only relaxation, but also “wellness.” We really see to it that all our clients’ needs are satisfied.

Although we have a signature sequence massage, we try our best to cater to our clients’ needs and try to focus on their “trouble spots or problem areas” (e.g. shoulders, back, or arms). We almost all the time, exceed beyond an hour because our concern is not mainly to earn, but to promote wellness, rejuvenation, and health.

Jael further added that their massage therapists are well trained and TESDA certified. They also undergo retraining regularly to maintain and improve the quality of their service.

They have promos every month. This month’s promos:

Promo A: Get 100 pesos off on couple’s massage [400 pesos for two instead of 500]

Promo B: Free add-on service of your choice (choices are ventosa or hairspa or footspa) when you avail body scrub (comes with one hour full body massage) – 3 services in one for only 400 pesos.

National Heroes’ Day Promo (only for August 25): – Free add on services of your choice (ear candling, or sauna, or ventosa) for every one hour full body massage [massage is 250, btw].

Aside from Massage and Spa services, The Silhouette Spa, is also a one-stop glam and rejuvenating shop. They have hair care and nail care services.

The reason why I chose Stilts Calatagan is because of Seventeen, a K-POP boy group in South Korea. I watched their behind-the-scenes video for their album and it features this resort.
