Blog From Cebu To The World

Are you looking for cheap, affordable, clean and reliable hotels, inns and pension houses at the heart of Cebu City, specifically near Fuente Osmeña? You know, Sinulog 2012 festival is just around the bend and most hotels are fully booked on the Sinulog weeks – 7 days before and after (January 15, 2012). Have you made your reservations?

If not Sinulog, maybe you want to be here one summer weekend to enjoy the beaches, or experience whale watching in Oslob. Your trip could also be for business, or just for the sake of travel, as some young people these days often do by buying airline promo fares to their favorite destinations, or to places they’ve never been before. As they say in Cebuano, “mga laagan, gyud”.

Cebu is one vacation destination that you should not miss. Perhaps, there is no need for me to over-emphasize what the rest of the world knows already. So when you are in Cebu, do not just sleep in your hotel room. Go outdoors and enjoy what this island in the Pacific has to offer.

Cebu is White Sand Beaches

You can go to any world class resort in the nearby Mactan Island (the island where the international airport is located). We have Plantation Bay, Microtel Inn, Shangri-la, and now Imperial Palace. Of couse, there are other mid-range resorts within island. Just go to Cordova, Marigondon or in Maribago. You can also go island hopping.

Razon’s Halo-halo, the famous halo-halo from Pampanga, will open its first outlet in Cebu City this March 26, 2010. They are located at Juan Luna Ave. Extension, just outside SM City Cebu (remember CNT Lechon?).

An officemate once told me about best-tasting halo-halo that he ever had. The name of the store escaped me then, until my wife mentioned to me Razon’s. “They’re opening an outlet in Cebu” she gladly told me over the phone. “Our next next-door neighbor owns the outlet” she added.

Free Cebu Pacific Airlines tickets, anyone? I know some had bad Cebu Pacific experiences that they won’t dare fly with the airline again even if it’s offered very cheap. So how about offered for free? They will provide one-way travel voucher if your flight is cancelled. Cebu Pacific is also continually offering cheap flight promos. If I remembered it right, a friend of ours once mentioned about getting Cebu Pacific tickets as low as P1 all-in for a domestic flight. Wow! But there was no news about those things lately. Here is my experience about how I got my free plane ticket, and how I was thankful to God for it.

This is not about Cebu and the Pacific Ocean. It’s far from that. What I will post here is about my experience flying with Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading low-fare airline. I’ve read lots of rants posted by bloggers who had experienced delays and other inconveniences. I had mine too. I’d been flying with this airline for more than 10 years now. Basically, it is because of the low fares as compared to the country’s flagship airline. But let me just share with you the good and the bad personal experiences I had with Cebu Pacific.
