While every one else was busy preparing for New Year’s Eve, 43-year-old Danny Israel slept in his house at Barangay Catmon, Malabon City.
He will be missing this year’s Media Noche, so he already planned ahead.
He will leave money for three of his elder kids who will stay at the house so they can buy food.
Meanwhile, the three younger children will come with him to a fast food restaurant for dinner before he clocks in for duty as a security guard.
Israel has been a security guard for 14 years and works a 12-hour night shift. Due to this, he has missed more holidays than he can count.
“Sanay na po ako. Pag ganito ang trabaho mo, masasanay ka rin (I’m used to it. When this is the nature of your work, you get used to it),” he said.
“Madalas ako maka-experience ng Pasko o New Year sa trabaho (I have frequently experienced spending Christmas or New Year while I’m on duty),” he added.
A native of Bicol, Israel shared that he was not able to come home to his parents for the holidays because no one could take his shift.
So he asked his children to visit him instead. Early next year, they will be coming back to Bicol where they live with their grandmother.
When asked about their mother, Israel just shook his head and said he separated with his wife a year ago.
Sometimes, she sends the children gifts. But they barely see each other anymore.
“May time rin na malungkot sila, lalo na sa sitwasyon nila na wala ‘yung nanay nila (There are times when they get sad, especially since they don’t have a mother),” Israel said.
But he is trying to make do with what they have.
Israel takes care of all of his children’s needs, including their education. Two of his children are already in high school while three are in elementary. His eldest dropped out and already has a child of his own.
Israel narrated that they had better New Year celebrations before. Back then, he still had time to take his children to a zoo in Quezon City.
He has also experienced worse times, including a time when all of his family were in Bicol to celebrate while he stayed in Manila to work.
So this time, New Year’s Eve is definitely a lot happier because he can celebrate with family, Israel said.
“Dito nalang kami magsasalo-salo (We will just celebrate here).” (Minka Tiangco)

The American ‘revenge travel’ surge is over. Fear and uncertainty are big factors

Francisco Ayala and his wife have canceled the cruise they planned to take to see the Northern Lights this year. The reasons are complicated.
Ayala is a natural-born US citizen, and his wife is a naturalized citizen. But given reports of people — even with legal status — being detained and questioned at US borders, Ayala said taking a trip out of the country for fun doesn’t seem worth the potential risk.
Ayala also sees another problem: the economy. “The writing is on the wall … The moment I saw the market volatility, I’m like, ‘Yep, this is not going to be good.’”
Travel advisers are seeing the impact of that uncertainty. More than 80% of the 460 advisers surveyed recently by TravelAge West were “very” or “somewhat” concerned about the impact of a possible economic downturn on their business, and more than half were “very” concerned about the impact of government policies.
Their clients’ top concern was economic uncertainty, followed by worries about the treatment of Americans abroad, safety and security, fears of cost increases due to tariffs, immigration and border policies, and travel restrictions.
“You can’t just take one angle and say, ‘Oh, the economy is having an issue. So let’s find something less expensive,’” said Beci Mahnken, CEO of MEI-Travel. Other clients say, “‘I don’t want to travel to the United States,’ or ‘I don’t want to travel outside the United States.’ … It’s like a rock tunnel, going and going.”
One shaft of light at the end of that tunnel could be savings on last-minute summer trips as travelers increasingly take a wait-and-see stance with their plans.
Hitting a ‘brick wall’
Mahnken first saw signs of trouble in early April, when US stocks plunged over fears of a chaotic trade war.
Mahnken and her travel agency staff started getting phone calls from clients, calling to cancel vacations they had booked or seeking refundable trips. She said they were fearful because their 401(k)s and other investments had taken a dive. That uncertainty, she says, made them pause on discretionary spending like a summer trip.

Until that moment, Mahnken said, the frenzy of heightened “revenge travel” activity that started after pandemic restrictions lifted had not slowed over the course of four years.
“We were still on this incredible high,” Mahnken said. “And then … it almost hit a brick wall.”
Flight analytics firm Cirium pulled flight booking data from online travel agencies from the end of January through early May, when people typically book summer trips. That data, which Cirium shared with CNN, indicates that bookings for travel in June, July and August are down nearly 10% when looking at flights from major US airports to favorite European destinations, compared to the same period last year.
Flights booked in the opposite direction from Europe to the US are down 12% in the same period. That substantial drop is unusual, according to Jeremy Bowen, CEO of Cirium.
“We don’t often see it as wholesale as this and over such a short period of time. Really, that Q1 booking is really quite substantially lower since the beginning of the year,” said Bowen.
