Why take the bus or ferry when you can fly for only ONE PESO?

Cebu Pacific offers ONE PESO seats for Cebu-Bacolod, Cebu-Butuan, Cebu-Cagayan, and Manila-Laoag services.

Go on a food trip and visit the cosmpolitan city of Cebu, known for its dried mangoes, try Butuan’s local delicacy mo-ron or Bacolod’s famous local fare Chicken Inasal!

Now that it’s nearing summer, time to take off your shoes and wade in the waters of Pagudpud, Laoag or get a thrill from a white water rafting experi! ence in Cagayan.

The seat sale will run from February 28 to April 30, 2008, and is good for travel for the same period. Fare is non-refundable and exclusive of surcharges and government taxes.

Long Weekend: February 23-25

Malacanang just announced that February 25, 2008 is a non-working holiday.

Perfect for another roadtrip, a short trip to Iloilo (P3,300++ airfare with Cebu Pacific), or you can join the protest rallies/masses that will be held on that day.

Tripper Tip for Sinulog

Posted by Carambs

Thinking of wearing flipflops because it’s hot and you’re on vacation in Cebu?  Think again!  Wearing flipflops during Sinulog’s parade day will be a very bad idea.   You will be stepped on and the roads will be full of litter and liquid, so it’s best if you wear sneakers or rubber shoes.
