These days, everything feels expensive — from gas to groceries, even the small indulgences. But real joy? That’s still possible. Sometimes it’s free, and more often, it’s sulit — worth every peso, every moment. Because the best memories aren’t about how much you spend, but about the laughter, the stories, and the people you share them with.
This summer, we’re inviting you and your barkada to slow down, soak up the sun, and say yes to adventures that don’t need a big budget — just creativity, good company, and a little bit of heart. Sometimes all it takes is a tank of gas, a packed lunch, and the freedom to just go. The return? Memories that feel rich in every way that counts.
Ready to live your best Simpol Barkada life? We’ve put together the ultimate list of sulit adventures — grouped by vibe, so you can mix, match, and make this summer unforgettable.
