#FinancePH - Laureen & Maki’s Dream Summer Escapes Will Make You Rethink Your Next Island Getaway
There’s something about summer that makes us crave a little more—more sun, more spontaneity, more stories to tell. And for content creators Laureen Uy and Maki Santos, this season was all about rediscovering the magic of two iconic Philippine destinations: Siargao and Boracay. But what made their trips even more seamless? They did it all with GCash.
From booking hotels to paying for meals and even securing travel insurance, GCash helped them skip the stress and dive straight into the fun. Here’s how their dream vacations unfolded—and why yours could be next.
Maki’s Boracay: Beyond the Beachfront
For Maki, Boracay has always been a favorite. But this time, she went beyond the usual White Beach itinerary. She checked in at Four Points by Sheraton, chosen using her signature L.A.P. method—Location, Aesthetic, Price. Thanks to GGives, GCash’s installment feature, she booked her stay without a down payment and paid in easy installments.
Her days were filled with unforgettable experiences: paraw sailing, a helicopter ride, and even an adrenaline-pumping adventure with Mainland Adventures Boracay. All of it booked and paid for online through platforms like Klook, using GCash.
And the food? Think Gyukatsu’s melt-in-your-mouth beef, Mai Tai’s tropical cocktails, and Maze Wrap’s Mediterranean flavors. “What makes the experience even better is how seamless everything is with GCash,” Maki shares. “From booking activities to paying for meals, one tap and I’m all set!”
Laureen’s Siargao: Foodie Finds and Island Vibes
Meanwhile, Laureen’s Siargao trip was all about good food, great company, and island adventures. She and her besties kicked things off with a feast at Cev, known for its fresh kinilaw and ceviche, followed by stops at Roots and Mondayyy’s Cafe—all of which accept GCash QR payments.
But it wasn’t just about the food. The group set sail for Mam-on and Corregidor Islands, soaking in the views and capping the day with a traditional boodle fight. One of Laureen’s favorite moments? A sunset session at Kanaloa Beach, complete with bonfires, kayaking, and beachside drinks.
“From hotel bookings and activities to shopping and even travel insurance with GInsure Travel Protect, GCash made everything so easy,” Laureen says. “My summers are forever changed for the better.”
