Tweet

Travelers today rarely fit into just one category. A family may be looking for a quick city escape, and a professional may need to combine work with a little downtime, while one guest may be staying longer to make the most of a business trip and another may require a stay that accommodates their faith, cultural needs, wellness requirements, or sustainable choices.

As one of the first hotels that opened in Ortigas Center more than 27 years ago, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas (RHO) has been catering to the needs of the visitors of this continuously growing corporate and commercial district. And for years, whatever the reason for their journey, there’s always Richmonde providing a dependable place to stay with carefully curated options designed around the different ways guests travel, work, relax, and spend time together. Bringing together comfortable accommodations, proximity to the CBD’s business and lifestyle destinations, convenient access to the metro’s neighboring cities, dining choices, attentive Filipino hospitality, and more of what matters to each guest, RHO’s latest room packages are designed for enjoyable stays that feel distinctly personal to them.

Stay Together Family Time Package

Spend more time with the people who matter most at value-for-money rates with the

Stay Together family time package which comes full of freebies the family will love.

A family getaway does not always require a long journey. Sometimes, a change of scenery in the city is all it takes to turn an ordinary weekend into meaningful time together. The STAY TOGETHER Family Time Package caters to families with children from toddlers to pre-teens, whether they are visiting Metro Manila or simply looking for a quick family staycation. Rates start at PhP 4,700 nett with inclusions and perks valued at as much as PhP 2,000.

For Travelers Who Prefer to Take Their Time

Rates start at PhP 3,900 nett per night for a minimum two-night stay, and PhP 3,800 nett per night for a minimum five-night stay, with food and beverage discounts and other perks included.

With offices, shopping destinations, dining, and lifestyle attractions within easy reach, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas allows guests to settle into the city comfortably while making the most of a longer itinerary. For travelers who prefer a little more time to work, explore, rest, or simply enjoy the city at their own pace, staying longer can make all the difference.

For Guests Who Value a More Inclusive Stay

A comfortable hotel experience should also be one where guests can observe their faith with ease. Recognizing the needs of Muslim travelers, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas offers the STAY COMFORTABLE Muslim-Friendly Package, designed to provide thoughtful amenities that support a more convenient and inclusive visit.

which is part of its commitment to sustainability.

For Those Who Want to Stay Mindful

For travelers looking to improve their well-being and indulge in some quiet reflection while maintaining their eco-friendly way of life, the STAY MINDFUL Sustainable Package incorporates these in a two-night hotel accommodation starting at PhP 9,000 nett. Guests receive a locally made welcome amenity, an edible and sustainably made turndown treat, and 20% off the hotel's plant-based menu, making it easier to explore more mindful dining choices during their stay. Beyond the individual experience, a portion of proceeds from every stay will be donated to Project Pearls, extending the impact of the guest's stay beyond the hotel. It is an invitation to take a pause, enjoy a quieter pace, appreciate local flavors and craftsmanship, and make a positive contribution along the way.

Different Reasons to Stay. One Place to Count On.

The way people travel continues to evolve, and so do their expectations of a hotel. At Richmonde Hotel Ortigas, these different needs are not treated as exceptions—they are part of what makes every guest's stay unique. Across each experience, one thing remains consistent: a commitment to comfort, convenience, and RHO’s signature Sampaguita brand of warm, caring, and gracious service that guests can rely on.

New Schedule, New Faces: How to Find Your Anchor in a Hectic School Year

Tweet

The back-to-school season is here, bringing with it the familiar excitement—and nerves—of meeting new classmates, adjusting to new teachers, navigating heavier workloads, and waking up early for the first day of class. Between buying school supplies, preparing baon, organizing schedules, and lining up multiple alarms to help you wake up, the start of a new school year often means settling into a whole new routine.

As students ease into longer commutes, packed class schedules, extra after-school activities, and new responsibilities, having dependable daily habits can make the transition feel much more manageable and lessen the amount of stress one can get.

Often, it's the smallest habits—from getting enough sleep to simply packing up your books and notes in advance before the next day—that help create a sense of stability throughout the school year.

For many families, that also includes choosing simple, everyday staples that help students feel ready for whatever the day brings. Adding Goodday Cultured Milk Yoghurt Drink to breakfast or packing it alongside baon can easily become one of those small but consistent habits that fit naturally into even the busiest school mornings.

Build wellness habits that keep you ready

The school year quickly fills up with quizzes, group projects, club activities, sports practices, and deadlines. While every day may look different, maintaining a few consistent habits can help students stay prepared through changing schedules.

Getting enough rest helps students recharge after long days of classes and studying, while staying physically active—whether through PE classes, sports, or simply walking across campus—supports overall wellness. Making mindful food and drink choices also becomes part of building daily habits that keep up with a busy school day.

As part of these everyday habits, Goodday Cultured Milk Yoghurt Drink offers a simple addition to students' routines. Packed with 10 Billion Paraprobiotics that help keep natural immune defenses strong, it easily fits into breakfast or baon as students juggle classes, extracurricular activities, and everything in between.

Build your confidence

Beyond academics, a new school year is also about embracing new experiences. Whether it's joining organizations, discovering new hobbies, speaking up in class, or spending time with new friends after school, each new experience is an opportunity to build confidence. While stepping into unfamiliar situations can feel intimidating at first, confidence grows with every small step and every new routine.

Having a sense of stability during these moments of change can make a big difference. Simple daily habits create a practice that helps students feel more prepared for the day ahead, making it easier to navigate classes, activities, and new challenges with greater confidence.

As students settle into new customs, it's often the simplest habits practiced consistently that become the foundation for a healthier, more productive, and more confident school year.

Finding balance in everyday routines, Good Move Yan!

Building healthy habits doesn't have to mean making big changes. Sometimes, it's the small, consistent choices that are easiest to stick with. Including Goodday Cultured Milk Yoghurt Drink as part of a balanced breakfast or packing it alongside daily essentials is one simple way to support everyday wellness. With 10 Billion Paraprobiotics that help boost immunity it fits seamlessly into students' daily practices as they take on everything the school year brings.

Because when life gets busy, having dependable daily habits can help turn every day into a good day.

Good Move Yan, with Goodday. Goodday is available at leading supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, and online retailers nationwide.
