HAPUHAP EXPERIENCE

One of my friends from work was able to read my previous blog (Top 10 call centers in the Philippines), since then we were able to discuss the differentissues that call center employees experience. This includes (but not limited) to the following; Pressure in hitting the metrics (sales, CSAT, QA etc.), US time zone (Graveyard schedule) and erratic change in work schedules. All of this seems to lead to what we call the silent killer STRESS

According to Merriam Webster;

Stress is define as: a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation

Now we all have different ways of coping up with stress that includes sleeping, shopping, coffee or even getting drunk. For me, it has always been going to a SPA for a massage.


HAPUHAP EXPERIENCE

Hapuhap” meaning a gentle touch

I and my good friend Gwendee went out to eat at one of the new restaurants in Cebu Mango area.
After a very hefty meal, we decided to get a relaxing massage. So immediately we texted our good friend and one of the owners of HAPUHAP, Dr. Francis Xavier if they are still open and can accommodate us.

One thing I love about hapuhap is that it is located near the Fuente Area (Business, Hotel and Night Life district of of cebu) it takes about 5 minutes by Cab from Fuente to V.Rama.

We were greeted warmly by Xavier and provided us the list of services they have and at that time it was 20% off (My lucky day or what?!). I immediately notice the nice and calm ambiance of the place.

Slowly I drifted into a calm and blissful sleep (Gwendee told me I snored...Now, that’s just a clear indication that I was really enjoying my massage.. Don’t you agree?! )

Overall the experience was really great, both the owner and the staff were very accommodating.
Not to mention their price is very reasonable, not to mention they also do home service.

If you are looking for a relaxing and calming massages or SPA to De-Stress and detoxify
I would recommend visiting HAPUHAP and start getting rid of those stresses.
