Leading Philippine budget carrier Cebu Pacific finally says hello to long-haul flights with an 888 seat sale for Manila-Dubai (vice versa) which will launch on October 7, 2013. The company will be using its newly-leased Airbus A330s which will also be used for another forthcoming Middle East route, Saudi Arabia.

Flight time from Manila to Dubai is approximately nine hours. ... Continue Reading...
Airbnb expands to the Philippines
I have never been a client of Airbnb although I love seeing the homes and rooms being put up for rent around the world. Somehow, it gives me an idea how people are living in faraway places like Paris, Morocco and San Francisco. It turns out the Philippines is now one of Airbnb's growing markets with 400 per cent growth year-over-year in the Philippines in 2012.According to the web company's co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Nathan Blecharczyk : “Manila is a growing travel destination, and people from the Philippines are traveling abroad at increasing rates, so ...

Travelling to Sagada

I guess she's got the taste for the finer things in life this early :) The Junior Suite is definitely bigger than the deluxe rooms because it had ... Continue Reading...
Now a top contributor for Trip Advisor
Last week, I got the news that I've received the Top Contributor badge on Trip Advisor. This only means that I've done 50+ reviews on the site of the hotels, restos and attractions I've visited in the past two years.No big deal but it's my way of giving back to the travel community since I consult, even rely on Trip Advisor member ratings whenever I go to certain places. So far, they've had a good batting average as far as recos are concerned. 2012 has been a bummer for me when it came to travelling as I poured my funds on my business + real estate (& a toddler ...
