If you're looking for a beachfront hotel in Boracay that combines comfort, luxury, and Filipino hospitality, Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel is one of the best choices you can find in Station 2. With just a few steps, you’re already walking along the powdery white sand of the world-renowned White Beach, feeling the gentle waves of the sea. It’s truly a perfect tropical escape!

It has both adult and children’s swimming pools, beach access and the award-winning Don Vito Ristorante Italiano, which was named one of the Philippines’ Best Restaurants by Asia Tatler Dining.


One of the highlights of the hotel is the Mandarin Spa, known for its expert therapists and signature Filipino massages and foot spa treatments with a relaxing view of the ocean. Trust me, getting a massage while facing the beach is one of the most calming experiences in Boracay.



My Stay at the Grand Pool Side Room


During my stay, I checked into the Grand Pool Side Room, and it was the perfect space to relax after a day of island adventures. The room was spacious and cozy, featuring a large bed, a sofa, table and chairs, TV, refrigerator, hot and cold shower, safety deposit box, complimentary toiletries, and more.


What made the room extra special was the private balcony where I could see the hotel’s pool and a glimpse of the beautiful beach. It’s the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee or a chill afternoon break after island-hopping or swimming.

One of the best parts of staying here is the complimentary breakfast at Don Vito Ristorante. The breakfast buffet changes daily and includes a mix of American and Filipino favorites—from soups, fresh fruits, coffee, and desserts to taho, kakanin, and even ice cream! It’s sulit and satisfying.


In the afternoon, don’t miss their halo-halo—refreshing and perfect under the Boracay sun!



Spa with a View at Mandarin Spa


Another must-try experience at the hotel is the Mandarin Spa. I booked a body massage and foot massage, and both were incredibly soothing. The spa’s ambiance, along with the view of White Beach, created a truly peaceful and rejuvenating environment.

The Grassroots Innovation for Inclusive Development (GRIND) Program aims to uplift marginalized communities by fostering sustainable, locall...

The Grassroots Innovation for Inclusive Development (GRIND) Program aims to uplift marginalized communities by fostering sustainable, locally-driven innovations. One such community benefiting from this initiative is the Bagobo Tagabawa tribe of Barangay Binugao.


A group of people doing a dye extraction training


Located in Davao, this indigenous group is featured on the talk-of-the-town science tourism TV show, Science Pinas. In this article, explore how the GRIND Program empowers the Bagobo Tagabawa tribe, bridging the gaps in skills, livelihoods, and cultural preservation.


The Bagobo Tagabawa Tribe

The tribe, part of the larger Bagobo ethnic group, has a rich cultural heritage rooted in ancestral traditions, including unique weaving, rituals, and agriculture. Despite their cultural significance, they face socio-economic challenges. In this regard, they need community-based development interventions to ensure the preservation of their cultural identity while promoting sustainable livelihoods.


Supporting their self-determination through initiatives is the GRIND Program. But what does this program do?


Challenges and Opportunities for the Tribe

The Bagobo Tagabawa tribe faces ongoing challenges, including limited access to resources and technological advancements. Despite these hurdles, the GRIND Program offers significant opportunities to scale and reach other indigenous communities in similar circumstances.


For continued success, the tribe requires more support from government agencies, NGOs, and local businesses, including funding, training, and exposure to traditional and digital media programs like Science Pinas. Fortunately, more and more S&T and R&D interventions are offered to these grassroots innovators, so they can grow and sustain their cultural heritage while enhancing their economic well-being.

GRIND Program for the Marginalized Communities


The GRIND program emphasizes grassroots innovation, ensuring that initiatives are rooted in the needs and strengths of the community. With this in mind, DOST plays a key role in providing technical support, resources, and expertise to help these communities develop, implement, and scale innovative solutions.


For everyone’s information, the program was launched by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) - Region XI in 2019 to initiate GRIND first in the Davao Region. As a whole, it aims to empower marginalized communities like the indigenous people, women, out- of-school youth, and the other members of the informal sector.


Impact of Grassroots Initiatives to the Bagobo Tagabawa Tribe


Truth be told, the GRIND Program has made a significant impact on the Bagobo Tagabawa tribe by focusing on education, economic empowerment, and cultural preservation. In terms of capacity development, the tribe received skills training on:


● Improving their natural dye extraction process; and

● Making their textile production more efficient.


This intervention has enhanced their economic opportunities while maintaining traditional practices like the intricate "binadbad" tie-dying technique. Instead of rubber bands, the Bagobo Tagabawa uses abaca fiber strips to create their designs, holding significant cultural symbolism.


Apart from intervening through natural dye process training, GRIND also conducts assessments in preserving the arts and music of the Bagobo Tagabawa tribe. Kudlong, a two-stringed musical instrument, is an endangered tribal guitar used to express their emotions, feelings, and tradition among others. In this way, it ensures that the tribe’s heritage is passed onto future generations.


Current Initiatives: DOST XI Teams Up with Bagobo-Tagabawa Communities to Safeguard Indigenous Innovations


The Department of Science and Technology - Region XI, in collaboration with the Bagobo- Tagabawa Indigenous Cultural Communities and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples - XI, has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) to protect indigenous knowledge and innovations.


The DOST conducts a Saliklakbay Solutions Mapping and Immersion, which is a key element of the GRIND program being part of its Learning component, to identify and evaluate grassroots innovations within the Bagobo-Tagabawa communities.


The Saliklakbay Solutions Mapping and Immersion aims to:

● Identify and assess grassroots innovations;

● Document and evaluate grassroots innovations such as:

○ Heirloom recipes or heritage foods;

○ Artisanal or endangered crafts;

○ Ethnobotanicals (medicinal plants, traditional practices, culinary spices);

○ Solutions addressing health hazards; and

○ Initiatives related to the circular economy;

● Assist Bagobo-Tagabawa communities in preserving their cultural heritage and

promoting sustainable practices; and

● Empower the community through sustainable practices and scientific knowledge.


With these interventions, GRIND ensures cultural sensitivity and intellectual property protection, empowering the Bagobo-Tagabawa community while preserving their rich cultural heritage through ethical science and technology practices.

The Role of Science and Tourism in Promoting the GRIND Program

Science and tourism play a crucial role in promoting grassroots innovations of programs like GRIND. This is where DOSTv’s Science Pinas comes in, giving a unique tour of how science drives growth in different industries including tourism in the region. The good thing is that viewers nowadays have various avenues where they can watch the episodes such as on GTV every Saturday at 9am with a simulcast on DZBB 594 Super Radyo, and replays on DOSTv’s Facebook Page.


Philippine science and research travel programs like the Science Pinas provide a platform to showcase such innovations, offering economic opportunities while raising awareness about cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. Through GRIND, the Philippine tribes benefit from both scientific advancements and tourism opportunities.


In this way, it ensures the protection and growth of their unique crafts, agricultural practices, and traditions, fostering a balanced approach to cultural and economic development.
