Cebu Pacific Makes it Really More Fun in the Philippines with P1 Seat Sale

It is more fun in the Philippines especially if if you get to spend only a peso ( Php 1.00 ) on airfare ticket.

Cebu Pacific just e-mailed me a P1 Seat Sale.

I would have loved to avail of this seat sale. But my schedule for the year is basically up in the air until the job seeker me lands that elusive job.

If you're luckier than me and holds your own schedule, proceed immediately to the Cebu Pacific website and book your trip as this kind of airfare ticket sale do not last that long.

Help Cagayan de Oro City & Iligan City in the Aftermath of Typhoon Sendong

This post is for the people of Cagayan de Oro City, devastated by Typhoon Sendong.

I have been to Cagayan de Oro once. And I am deeply saddened that it was hit the hardest by tropical storm Sendong. Watching footages from the news on TV reminds me of the aftermath of Ondoy.

Our family prepared for Ondoy but never expected that it will submerged our house in Novaliches, Quezon City waist-deep because no typhoon has ever flooded our place. There's always a first time, Ondoy proved to our family.

CDO, and Mindanao in general, is seldom hit by tropical depressions. Past education, if I remember correctly, taught us that Mindanao is ideal to be the food basket of the whole country because of its suitable year-long climate.

My heart goes to the people of CDO. When I visited Cagayan de Oro in 2009, I enjoyed the place and the people are generally hospitable.

From the Philippine Red Cross Donate Page

Right now, I can only think of donating to the Philippine Red Cross thru my cellphone. But I hope that this little blog can encourage visitors to sympathize with the plight of those devastated by Typhoon Sendong (CDO & Iligan City) and do what they can to help.

Rich Philippine Biodiversity Featured in a US TV Special

The Phillipines' rich biodiversity is must-see for foreign and local tourists alike. And I am mighty proud that it was featured thru a TV special in the US.

ABC7 KGO-TV recently aired a feature entitled “Reefs to Rainforests: The Great Expedition” which took viewers on an expedition to the Philippines for a breath-taking look at one of the world’s richest and endangered biological hotspots, where scientists from the Philippines and the San Francisco Bay Area discovered 300 new species.
