Prestone®, a renowned and trusted brand in Auto Care fluids since 1927, has
curated a list of unique destinations, accompanied by practical car care tips
to ensure a seamless and enjoyable travel experience for you and your loved
ones.
Spend a night with nature through glamping in Zambales
Glamping,
a combination of the words 'glam' and 'camping,' is the latest trend among
those who want to experience a glamorous version of camping—perfect for those
in need of a break from the bustling chaos of the city.
One
of the famous sites you can visit is located in San Felipe, Zambales, called
The Glamp. The glamping site features boho-themed tents, making it a top choice
for those who appreciate the stylish aesthetic for their pictures. The site is
also near the beach, which is a plus if you’re looking for more recreational
activities aside from relaxing underneath the beautiful summer sky.
Seek solitude on an island in Pangasinan
If
you seek solitude and tranquility on a secluded islet, then the beach at the
heart of Pangasinan is perfect for you. Colibra Island in Dasol, Pangasinan,
boasts clear white sands and rock formations that surround the island,
providing a perfect view for relaxation.
The
advantage of this island is it’s not well known among typical tourists,
ensuring a lack of crowds even during peak seasons. Moreover, the place becomes
even more enchanting at night, making it perfect for stargazing and
appreciating the vastness of the open sky.
Experience a healing hike in the mountains of Sierra Madre
If
you're seeking a unique and rewarding adventure, consider testing your strength
and patience on a mountain hike. Fortunately, a beginner-friendly trail is
accessible in the highlands of Tanay called Mt. Kulis. This mountain offers a
scenic view at a height of 620 MASL and is well-known among outdoor
enthusiasts.
One
advantage of Mt. Kulis is that you can customize your hiking experience, and
there's a cemented road leading to the jump-off point for easy parking. Once
you start, the trail is easy, and you can also explore various attractions
along the way, providing opportunities for aesthetic pictures.
Prepare yourself and your ride for the best holy week
adventure
Why
ruin the joy of vacations with stress over an unpleasant car ride? That is why Prestone
urges everyone to perform a thorough check before embarking on your next
adventure.
Given
that these listed destinations involve substantial driving, it's crucial to
conduct comprehensive research on your route, considering traffic hotspots and
rest stops. Additionally, ensure your RFID sticker is in working order for
seamless and secure transactions during toll payments, promising a more
convenient travel experience. Don't forget to securely stick your RFID sticker
to avoid non-detection and register it under the vehicle owner's name for
accountability.
Check the necessary fluids of your car
Road
trips can take a toll on your vehicle, so careful preparation is key to
avoiding trouble. Prevent overheating on the road by using Prestone Car-Specific
Coolant for superior protection. This convenient, high-quality, prediluted
coolant is ideal for emergency refills and is equipped with Prestone Cor-Guard Anti-Corrosion
technology, offering 5X more effective corrosion protection.
For
added safety, equip your ride with a powerful brake fluid like Prestone Brake
Fluid DOT 3. Formulated for safe, dependable, and consistent performance in the
hydraulic brake system, it helps protect your brakes against overheating, brake
fade, and performance decline.
Use high-quality and genuine car care products
During
a holy week road trip, ensuring your vehicle is in its tip-top condition is
crucial, and this won't happen if you use subpar or counterfeit car products.
“If
you aim to protect your car and withstand unforeseen accidents or costly
repairs, Prestone emphasizes the importance of using genuine products designed
specifically to meet your vehicle’s needs,” said Monique Gonzalez, Marketing
Manager for Clorox Southeast Asia.

at first glance. Here is a quick guide on fake vs genuine that you can refer
