14 Ways to Get a Break From the Post-Election Madness

Finally Friday! It’s been a long and grueling week, (not to mention how we kicked it off with voting for our next leaders), so it’s high time we all get the rest and relaxation we deserve. But this doesn’t have to mean catching up on sleep, binge-watching Netflix and getting Chinese takeout all weekend. Because there’s more to life than simply sleeping in, we at #TeamPreenPH rounded up a fun list of event you mustn’t miss.
