Every detail that you find in each room was well thought of to best suit the guest. The Café gives you a taste of authentic Filipino cuisine, while the Z Roof Deck Bar offers great entertainment nightly by live artists and DJs, both local and international. It makes one wonder, how did this all come together?

The managing owners at Z Hostel are a passionate group of friends who took their time to conceptualize and build the hostel from an inspiration. This inspiration began from their Sunday Slowdown sessions at a beach resort called La Luz. There was a certain vibe that was born from music, being around like-minded individuals, strangers becoming lifelong friends, and having sophisticated conversations. This was where the foundation of Z Hostel was created.

And it is this same foundation that kept Z going and open throughout the challenging times of the pandemic. We’re going back to full-swing — stronger than ever and with the same brand of good vibes and top-notch service.

Batangas Scuba Academy was originally established in Batangas City in 2017 with the purpose of becoming the first scuba diving school in the city. The objective was to put Batangas City in the map as a new diving destination by exploring the reefs along the coasts of Pagkilatan and Ilijan to identify dive sites for recreational diving. 

Batangas City is located at the heart of the Verde Island Passage giving Batangas Scuba Academy the best opportunity to explore our world famous center of the center of marine biodiversity from this part of Batangas Bay. 

By 2019 BSA has already mapped and named 15 dive sites in Batangas City with varying types of diving interests for divers looking for  a new dive adventure. There are now resorts and dive operators offering dive trips to the dive sites and the nearby Isla Verde. 

In 2022 Batangas Scuba Academy officially became a duly registered business organization operating from Batangas City. Scuba course training are being conducted in affiliated dive resorts in Anilao and at La Luz Beach Resort in San Juan, Batangas. BSA offers PADI certifications from Discover Scuba Diving up to Dive Master levels. 

Batangas Dive Association or simply known as Ba.D.Ass. Divers is a group of divers originally formed in Batangas City. In 2017 a team of scuba instructors and divers were diving from Batangas City in search of new dive sites outside of their usual weekend diving playground in Anilao. During these exploration dives they were able to identify at least 15 new dive sites that can be offered for recreational scuba diving. 

Around the same time the Batangas Scuba Academy (BSA) was also starting as a formal scuba training organization. BSA eventually became a registered business entity catering to scuba students who wanted to learn and become certified PADI divers. Meanwhile Ba.D.Ass. also continued to grow as more certified divers from BSA are joining the group.  

Ba.D.Ass.Divers is now more identified as a group of divers that believes in promoting safe practices while enjoying the experience of scuba diving, protecting the marine environment, and spreading awareness to the local community about marine conservation. 

Batangas Dive Association does not maintain a regular membership where officers are elected and meetings are held. There are no membership fees being collected. Divers from everywhere and any certifying agencies are free to join the dive trips. Any training certification levels are welcome to join, too. We just simply want to have a great time while diving safely and maintaining a healthy relationship with our treasured marine ecosystems. 

We dive because we are Ba.D.Ass. 

Storytelling is in our nature.

We all tell stories to connect with others, to share our thoughts and emotions, and declare who we are. And we share stories to inspire action and make a lasting impact on the world. Basically, we tell stories because we are human, and our brains are wired that way. 

Here at LCVO, we love telling stories. It’s what we do: we infuse life into words on a page (or a screen), and take our listeners on a journey. Where that journey takes them… well… we don’t know, but maybe you do. Maybe you have a story you’d like to tell. 

We’d like to help you share that story. 

We take storytelling seriously.

LCVO is composed of Luis and Claire, a husband and wife team of voice actors who have been doing work in both English and Tagalog. They operate primarily out of their home studio located East of the Philippine capital, and have lent their voices to a variety of projects, ranging from commercials on TV, radio, and the web, to long-form narrative podcasts. They’ve also recorded work for corporate videos, learning modules, dubbed or localized shows, interactive voice response (IVR) systems, advocacy work, and more.
