Make the most of Holy Week: 4 getaways where your Metrobank card gets you further

Holy Week in the Philippines has always been a mix of reflection and escape. For many, it’s that much-needed pause—whether it’s a quiet retreat, a beach reset, or a long overdue road trip with family. 

But this year, travel feels a bit more intentional. With rising fuel prices and tighter budgets, it’s no longer just about where you go, it’s about how to make every peso count while still enjoying the experience. 

The good news? You don’t have to cut back on the experience. With the right choices and a little help from your Metrobank card, you can still enjoy that well-deserved break, just a bit smarter.  

Metrobank lines up a slew of curated dining and travel deals across four key destinations nationwide, helping you make your Holy Week holiday spend more manageable: 

1. Cebu: big savings for big group dining

   Cebu isn’t just about the views—it’s about sharing them over good food. From breezy mountain spots in Busay to beachfront dining in Mactan, it’s perfect for group trips where everyone chips in (and saves).
