Hutchinson, Kansas, United States - October 24, 2023 —

Golden Rule, a travel agency specializing in humanitarian, non-profit, church, and missionary travel, has discovered an unprecedented surge in demand for travel, in general, and travel agents, in particular, following the significant drop during the height of the COVID pandemic. 


Travel agencies and industry experts noticed a pent-up demand for travel after the COVID restrictions. With the many ways that COVID changed and restricted travel, such as airlines reducing capacity for travel, airports closing, and the ensuing trouble with restoring normal function, there has grown a fresh wave of demand for travel agents.


Golden Rule Travel, having been paying attention to the trends, has positioned itself to accommodate this wave of eager travelers, equipped with expert agents who know the ins and outs of airline rules and passenger rights and best routings and deals.  Furthermore, understanding the need for flexibility during this period, where travel restrictions are still open to change, they provide 24/7 emergency customer service for expert, experienced help when flights are delayed or canceled or otherwise go wrong. 


This quick and expert assistance from someone vouching for the needs and wants of the traveler has helped a wide range of passengers traveling with GoldenRule. This is especially true with thousands of new airline employees hired who are inexperienced with poor training and have to balance airline profits with helping customers. Having a 3rd party expert advocate in those situations who can either pursue passenger rights or come up with an alternative, creative option based on decades of experience in travel, brings invaluable peace of mind to clients.


This level of service has caused so much demand for Golden Rule Travel that post-COVID, they have opened offices in Florida and Missouri, on top of hiring hired eight brand-new travel agents and brought four veteran agents back from other careers.


Golden Rule is a Christian travel agency that specializes in assisting in travel for humanitarian and spiritual reasons, including international adoption, church group travel, missionary travel, nonprofit organizations, and refugees. This includes helping them with free checked bags, significant savings per person, and packages that are refundable and changeable to suit the shifting needs of the customer. They aim to help those who need it achieve the least expensive and most hassle-free travel possible.

Boiwo, Kabui claim 21K victories in Mandaue

MANDAUE CITY — Daniel “The Beast” Boiwo and Teresiah Kabui captured the men’s and women’s 21K titles as more than 1,800 runners opened the PalawanPay Trilogy Marathon 2026 in this city on Sept. 27. Boiwo led the men’s 21K field with Arvengie Encinada taking second and Glady Kipto third. Kabui topped the women’s race, followed by Michelle Raniola and Cristine Ann Sardoncillo. The Cebu leg offered four race distances: 5K, 10K, 16K and 21K as competitive runners shared the course with families, friends, employees, partners, and other members of the community. Mark Mahinay won the men’s 16K, followed by Nickson Kosgei and Jerome Casinillo. Michelle Zamora topped the women’s 16K, with Lyn-nel Martus second and Abigael Jerop third. Anthony Orellano secured the men’s 10K title, while Joseph Mururi placed second and Darwin Lucaylucay third. Lijeaven Noay won the women’s 10K, followed by Glaiza Mae Hamora and Joanna Christine Galeza. Zeus Lecera led the men’s 5K, with Oswaldo Arcelo Jr. in second and Bryan Amesola in third. Jane Pangalao topped the women’s 5K, followed by Gretchen Sambo and Ziane Ysabelle Villarico. PalawanPay organized the event with RunRio and the UP Office of Athletics and Sports Development.  The three-leg series also carries a fundraising component that will support the purchase of fully equipped emergency ambulances for underserved communities in Aklan and South Cotabato. Palawan Group of Companies chose Cebu as the opening venue partly because of its established operations in the province. The company has 295 Palawan branches and more than 1,500 Cebuano partners and associates in Cebu. “Bringing the Trilogy to Cebu is another way for us to be part of the community, not just in the services we provide every day, but also in activities that promote health, wellness, and time together,” said Lisa Castro-Sabado, chief business development officer of Palawan Group of Companies.   The company also used the Trilogy to continue its grassroots sports programs, which include tennis, basketball, aside from running. The Trilogy will move to Palawan for its second leg on Oct. 18 before concluding in Manila on Nov. 28.

POC chief says surpassing gold medal target still possible

Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino is confident the country would surpass its target of four gold medals in the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Tolentino said the country still has a strong chance in multiple disciplines, including jiu-jitsu and judo. “There are still three days until Sunday morning. Last 3 days, still hoping for more golds,” he said.   His bold prediction, however, took a hit Thursday afternoon when top seed Alex Eala lost in women's tennis semifinals and settled for the bronze.  At the previous Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, the Philippines finished with four gold medals from pole vaulter EJ Obiena, jiu-jitsu fighters Annie Ramirez and Meggie Ochoa, and the Gilas Pilipinas men’s basketball team. At press time, the Philippines has three gold medals, one from Obiena and two from Carlos Yulo. Tokyo Olympic silver medalist and pugilist Carlo Paalam and the jiu-jitsu fighters, including Ramirez and Kaila Napolis are still in the hunt for a gold medal. “God willing. Fellow Filipinos, let's pray for our athletes at Team Philippines. They’re still on the qualification stage. That’s why we can still surpass the four, hopefully,” Tolentino said. The POC chief earlier said that their target was to win four gold medals — later increased to eight — for this edition of the Asian Games. The closing ceremony is set to be held on Sunday with Japan handing over the Olympic Council of Asia flag to Doha, Qatar, which will host the quadrennial event for the second time in 2030.
