Guys, Cebu Pacific is now offering P500 all-in fare for Siargao - Cebu route. Jari tag-email sako friend.

Cebu Pacific offers P500 all-in fare for new Cebu Hub services

Cebu Pacific (CEB), the country's leading domestic airline, is offering a P500 all-in Go Lite fare for flights from Cebu to Cotabato, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Legaspi, Ozamiz, Siargao and Tacloban.

The seat sale is from December 17-19, 2008 and is good for travel from January 1-March 18, 2009.

This marks the opening of CEB's new destinations from Cebu to Cotabato, Dumaguete, Legaspi and Siargao and the mounting of additional frequencies from Cebu to Iloilo, Ozamiz and Tacloban.

New thrice weekly flights from Cebu to Cotabato and the four-times weekly Cebu- Legaspi service will start on January 10, 2009. The thrice weekly Cebu-Dumaguete service starts on January 12, 2009. The Cebu-Siargao thrice-weekly service will start on January 30, 2009.

Candice Iyog, CEB VP for marketing and distribution, said, "As we continue to take delivery of brand new ATR 72-500 aircraft, we will operate new inter-island routes and add frequencies to existing ones to encourage local trade and tourism. Coupled with our trademark low fares, we hope to stimulate travel despite market conditions. "

"We also urge passengers to book their flights early through our website, www.cebupacificair.com , to get the cheapest and most convenient flight schedule," Iyog added.

'Go Lite' fares are for passengers traveling with no check-in baggage. Passengers with check-in bags just have to add P200 to the fare.

CEB has the most number of inter-island routes and connections from its operational hubs in Clark, Manila, Cebu and Davao. It continues to be the strongest domestic airline flying to a total of 27--soon to be 32--domestic destinations.

Cebu Pacific has one of the youngest fleets in the region composed of 10 Airbus A319, nine Airbus A320, and six ATR 72-500 aircraft by end of 2008.

Siargao will occupy your stay already specially if you go to socorro. Here in the city, nightlife is quiet tame compared to highly urbanized cities.

Surprised ko! wala pa diay coffee shop sa Surigao? Nice mag put up of shop sa inyo... hmm... plan plan plan! Pede na ninyo umpisahan Ral og Filino. Big time jud na na negosyo.. Im not sure kung mag click pod lagi sa inyo. 24 hours ba mga tao sa Surigao.

conversion from town to city is now clearly a political ambition of local politicians..(maski dili pwede pugson jud, for what?)

try to visit Tacloban City thread is another story, converting tacloban city into Highly Urbanized City (HUC)...same..:ohno:..


Mr. Cyberwizard, Tacloban's conversion is not similarly situated as the "new cities" referred to in this thread. Tacloban met, and actually exceeded, the minimum criteria established by law for a city to become a highly urbanized city. The "new cities" have not met these criteria, and that is precisely the reason why the Supreme Court nullified their conversion.

On the other hand, the process is indeed purely political (what else is it?). It's not a question of business or economics. It's a political question facilitated by a democratic process, which is the spirit that animates the principle of local autonomy.

Bitaw filino, dapat the owners must have their initiative to clean their frontage ( the beach) everyday. As i hike along the shore, i have observe the presence of concrete structures na waya na mapusli, fences abutting the shores. And for all i know the beach is a public propertty and considered as an easement, dili jaon pwede makural. NAgkahamok na raba jaon mga resorts diha.. There are about about 10 resorts already on that area how much more sa mabua. Dapat the city must organize a development authority just like they did on the boulevard but this time, the lipata,mabua and sabang beaches are concerned. This is to come up with a management plans for tourism and planning in that area. The way i see it , tagpasagdan ra jaon sila diha.:ohno::bash:

Feedback from this resort were not that good. Mediocre at best. But hey, it is still in business so there must be a market for it. I dig your concern but in Surigao, my suggestion is to try to convince the higher ups to upgrade the tourism baseline in this city.

tourism development in the city is the top most priority daw but i dont knw why til now i dont see any development. :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

whoa. finally back after a very long vacation. i thought thread 4 na pagbalik ko. 3 pages ra nadugang.

Financial aid for parade contingents

by Surigao Today


The Sinulog Foundation Inc. (SFI) on Tuesday assured that despite the economic downturn, contingents joining the Sinulog Grand Parade on January 18 will still receive financial assistance.

As with previous years, Cebu-based contingents would receive P50,000 in assistance while out-of-town contingents who have participated in the last three Sinulog festivals would be provided P100,000 each, said Ricky Ballesteros, executive director of SFI.

Organizers expect to have around the same number of contingents this year as last year – around 52. The final list of participants will be known on Wednesday.

Four of last year’s participants, however, will not be joining this year’s Sinulog. These are from Camiguin Province, and the cities of Surigao, San Carlos and Iligan.

Contingents from these provinces explained that they did not have enough time to prepare due to the long vacation, said Ballesteros.

There were also reports of “internal conflict” among these contingents, but Ballesteros said he did not know the details.

“We don’t exactly know what their reasons are, but some of them called us up and said they did not want to bring a contingent that was not competitive. Maybe their officials had other priorities,” Ballesteros said.

But there will be several newcomers to this year's celebration. These include contingents from the towns of Tacloban City and the towns of Abuyog and Dulag, all from Leyte Province; Borongan City in Eastern Samar; and the province of Lanao del Norte.

In last year’s Sinulog, 26 contingents joined the Sinulog-Based Category and another 26 joined the Free Interpretation Category.

All out-of-town contingents will be housed at the Abellana National High School, Cebu City Central School, Labangon National High School, Zapatera National High School, Rejero Memorial School and the Cebu City Sports Center.

Cebu City government will provide out-of-town contingents with transportation from their arrival at the port to their assigned housing.

No problems were foreseen for expenditures. Ballesteros said SFI has already hit 80 percent of its target P15 million for Sinulog sponsorships, and was optimistic that the target would be reached before the festival starts.

In addition, the Cebu City government has given SFI P8 million to help defray expenses for the Sinulog, bringing the total budget for this year to P23 million.

Preparations are continuing at the Cebu City Sports Center – where the Sinulog grand finale is scheduled to be held. The Polynesian-inspired stage at the sports center is around 85 percent complete, Ballesteros said.

While preparations for the main Sinulog event on January 18 are still underway, everything is ready for the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Lalawigan this Saturday and Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Dakbayan this Sunday, Ballesteros said.

For the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Lalawigan, 18 contingents will compete – 10 from elementary and eight from high school.

A total of 17 contingents will be competing in the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Dakbayan – eight from elementary and nine from high school.

Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia is scheduled to attend the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Lalawigan, Ballesteros said. (PDI)

The boulevard is nice, however, at night it is so dark. Maybe the city government should have installed sodium lighting. I also noticed a lot of informal settlers there.

The area where the SRBC mall is supposed to be built is huge.

Cebu Pacific flies to Catarman, Calbayog, Virac, and Cauayan
Offers P500 all-in seat sale and Manila-Osaka Zero promo fare

Cebu Pacific (CEB) is set to take delivery of its seventh brand-new ATR 72-500 aircraft which it will use to fly to Catarman and Calbayog in Samar, Virac in Catanduanes, and Cauayan, Isabela starting next month.

CEB will also mount additional flights for Manila-Naga from daily to 10 times weekly starting on February 14 and Manila-Busuanga from daily to 11 times weekly starting on February 15.

The new service to Catarman, Samar and Virac, Catanduanes will start on February 14; flights to Calbayog, Samar and Cauayan, Isabela will start on February 18.

Candice Iyog, CEB VP for marketing and distribution, said "We are expanding our Manila hub operations with the arrival of our brand new ATR and will make more areas accessible through our low fares and new planes."

To mark the announcement of these additional services, CEB is offering a promotional P500 all-in 'Go Lite' seat sale for flights from Manila to Busuanga, Calbayog, Catarman, Cauayan, Naga and Virac. The airline has also included select Cebu hub flights to Cotabato, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Legaspi, Ozamiz, Siargao and Tacloban in the promotion.

CEB also announced a zero 'Go Lite' fare seat sale for its Manila-Osaka service. This is exclusive of applicable surcharges and government taxes.

The seat sale will run from January 9 to 14, 2009 and is good for travel from February 1, or the start date of respective flights, to March 31, 2009.

The boulevard is nice, however, at night it is so dark. Maybe the city government should have installed sodium lighting. I also noticed a lot of informal settlers there.

PPA taps French gov’t for P11-B to install 74 ports
By Lynda B. Valencia

MANILA, Jan. 8 (PNA) – The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) will tap the French government for P11 billion for the installation of 74 roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) ports nationwide to link the provinces and reduce the transport fare of goods.

The project is part of the governments pump priming activities to mitigate the effects of the global prices.

Atty. Oscar Sevilla, general manager of PPA, said the project is dubbed as the Greater Maritime Access (GMA) and will be done by the contractor of the Eiffel Tower.

He said President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will decide on which areas these ports will be constructed.

The following provinces are the priority in the proposed list --Pangasinan, Isabela/Aurora, Quezon, Romblon, Mindoro, Cavite, Palawan, Masbate, Albay, Surigao del Norte, Eastern Samar, Davao and Cotabato.

Sevilla explained that the ports will be modular, meaning that they can be transferred from one place to other areas.

He said modular ports can be put up in less than four months and is solar powered, saying that “it is much cheaper, costing about Php50 million per port depending on the size and features.”

The project would use pre-fabricated steel ports composed of five interdependence modular parts such as pier connecting to shore, mooring platform, manual ramp dolphin and passenger terminal.

Sevilla said the project was approved by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) last year for funding by Spain’s Banco de Bilbao Vizcaya Argentina, S.A. in Madrid, but it did not push through.

In 2008, PPA has allocated Php7 billion for the SONA projects out of the Php9-billion budget.(PNA)

A total of 17 contingents will be competing in the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Dakbayan – eight from elementary and nine from high school.

Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia is scheduled to attend the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Lalawigan, Ballesteros said. (PDI)

I remember before that there are about 4 contingents from surigao, 3 from our province, and 1 from cantilan. As far as i can remember it was 2 years back and the buyawanong placer got the 3rd place..controversial sad adto kay apil sad mga pulitiko pagparade sa abellana..:lol:

so meaning nangabala na baja ta ini kuman...:bash:

yes i remember that. during my college days, nag grandslm ang Surigao represented by SNNHS, then after that d na sila sumali then Placer ang sumunod which they did the same thing they made us proud. not sending representative to the sinulog festival is ok as long as tarongon lang pud pag prepare ang ato Bonok-Bonok Festival so that maila pud ang ato festival. iton pag mo mention kaw gani nan Bonok-Bonok everbody knows na Surigao gajud ton.

I'm not sure whether the street lights are still functional. i took the shots 6 in the morning.

traffic lights are still functional, d lang ginagamit ni city government kc cost cutting nga before and manageable pa naman ang flow ng traffic. but today i would say na dapat gamitin na yan at they should install more lalo na sa mga busy intersections. masaydo ng ma traffice kasi.

sikip pala ng city roads... this reminds me of zamboanga city...

No contingent from Surigao City to either the Kahimunan Festival in BXU or Sinulog in Cebu this year. The City Government is no longer willing to foot the bill for the expenses of sending a contingent to this festival although last year there was a contingent to the Kahimunan Festival.

Sayang naman... didto nlang sa BXU para dili mahal ang pmasahe..hehehe mag buss lang eh... whereas sa sinulog mag sakay og plane or barko mas mahal kaayo... sayang mga talent sang surigao pag dili sinuportahan.

it's about money, malaki talaga ang budget na kailangan so we cant blame the City/Provincial Government for that. Hopefully the Bonok-Bonok Festival will be grand and more festive this year.

amo sir ral? sad to know that. Even here in cebu it has been told that there wil be no sinulog this year because the Commission on Audit had discovered that cebu is spending millions of pesos for this kind of event. But again, it has something to do with the tradition called panaad to the sto.nino that made it possible to other contingents to join and hoping for a prosperous year for them.:)

Sabagay taghirap ngaun. Uunaahin muna ung mga dpat priority kesa iba.

PGMA orders rehab in Siargao Island

from Surigao Today

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has directed officials of the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) in Caraga region to start immediately the rehabilitation of Siargao Island in Surigao del Norte and other areas in the region that were hit by heavy flooding last Saturday brought about by the typhoon Auring.

The order was made after Siargao has been placed under a state of calamity due to flash floods causing the damage of the island's agriculture and livestock.

The President issued the directive during the meeting with the RDCCs of Regions 10 and 13 which she convened Wednesday evening (January 7) at the Camiguin Highland Resort, Barangay Soro-Soro, in Mambajao, Camiguin.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) here said hundreds of families in the towns of Sta. Monica and San Benito were greatly affected by the typhoon.

Meanwhile, DSWD assured of an ongoing relief operation and that their office is exerting all efforts in ensuring that all affected families will be given appropriate assistance.

Earlier, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan passed a resolution declaring the island of Siargao under state of calamity.

The declaration was agreed upon after Board Member Simeon Vicente Castrence sponsored a resolution declaring the island under the state of calamity. The resolution was unanimously approved. All of the members of the legislative body are present except for Vice Gov. Noel Catre who served as the then Acting Governor and Board Member Jose Alabat who is in Siargao to personally assess the situation. (PIA-Surigao del Norte)

it's as nice as Dipolog Airport...Surigao Airport was constructed in late seventies.....unlike Butuan, CDO, Cotabato and Ozamis whose airports were built early seventies now appear congested and old..

But lets not worry as new refurbished and expanded airport terminals are in the offing here in CARAGA with Siargao and the gateway airport in Butuan ^^

yup i heard about that, tana mahuman na dayon para manindot na ang butuna airport :banana:

Agree! pangit ang terminal sa BXU, tas wala kaayo na maintain. Old facilities. Once mahuman ang renovation and additional new terminal... as per rendering posted in BXU thread, nice ang design mejo nidaku ang area and maybe can accommodate night flights. That airport once renovations done, it will be an international standards and serving major domestic flights in BXU, CARAGA and neighbooring provinces as well.

Tourists will have more comfortable in terms of traveling in Siargao and CARAGA. They have a lot of options we have, BXU, SDN and soon tandag city airport. But meron kse mga tao na prefer to use airbus than other smaller plane. So, as of now they use BXU as reference. CDO, Cotabato and Ozamis are basically the same design. Pangit talga! ehehe... I remember the proposed renovation in Puerto Princesa Airport nice ang design. I hope i pareha ang design sa Puerto Princesa aiport og BXU.

There was an expansion during the time of the late senator Barbers. It was his priority project at that time. There was the construction of the tower, expansion of the parking area ( twice its area dili na problema an parking once magexpand an terminal), the extension of the runway, and identical structure was built beside the terminal. Mao na ning taas na ug ila na tagbahin into departure and arrival. A new baggage handling system installed in the arrival sad. The way i look at with regards sa spaces inside, huot ra gajud cja. Waya pay labot an mga maghaturay na mas hamok pa sa ning larga,hehe dili maaccommodate jaon ra sa gawas if mag-uyan waya gajuy kasilungan.. The entrance door for the departure is small enough for the baggage to enter kay tagpunod naman dajon an xray machine sa entrance..Dili man sad mablame kay naghuot naman daad in the inside.:bash:

Extent of damage by floods to properties, infra and agriculture rises as rains continue to hit Caraga region



Flooding, spawned by moderate to heavy rains, continue to hit Northern Mindanao (Caraga region) as report of damage to properties, infrastructure and agriculture started to come in from various disaster councils in the region on Tuesday.

Assessment teams of the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) were already mobilized to look into the extent of damage caused by floodings since Saturday.

The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) in Northeastern Mindanao based here already started receiving damage reports from various disaster councils, particularly from Dinagat Island province.

OCD Director Dr. Blanche T. Gobenciong said that three towns in Dinagat Island -– Libjo, San Jose and Tubajon have initially reported damaged houses, fishing boats, pump boats and seawalls.

She also said Lake Mainit that covers some towns of Agusan del Norte and Surigao del Norte have already overflowed, destroying thousands of hectares of agricultural lands and properties.

Mostly affected is Barangay Colorado in Jabonga town, Agusan del Norte where classes in public schools were already suspended, she said.

Three barangays in Nasipit town, Agusan del Norte are already under flood waters, the OCD chief said.

Several barangays in this region’s capital city are also reported under flood waters.

City Mayor Democrito “Big Boy” Plaza already mobilized the City Disaster Coordinating Council (CDCC) to assist the flood victims as the giant Agusan river is already overflowing.

Surigao City Mayor Alfonso Casurra also said the city’s disaster council is already mobilized to assist the flood victims in Barangay San Juan and neighboring areas where some houses were destroyed by heavy rains and strong winds.

Agusan del Sur and Surigao del Sur disaster councils also reported floodings in several towns which have caused damages to thousands of hectares of agricultural lands and infrastructures.

The RDCC, led by Chief Supt. Jaime E. Milla, regional director of Northeastern Mindanao Police Regional Office 13 (PRO 13) conducted an emergency meeting at Camp Rafael C. Rodriguez here on Tuesday to assess the flood situation in some parts of the region.

“We cannot still determine yet the exact worth of damages as of this time as reports from affected areas are still coming in,” said Director Gobenciong.

However, the OCD official said that no casualty was reported as of press time.

Meanwhile, the OCD in Southern Mindanao also reported that at least 16 barangays in Cateel town, Davao oriental also experienced flooding since Saturday. (PNA)

yes, in fact the river is so near the southern end of the runway. I think it would be difficult to extend the runway southwards because of that river and diverting the natural course of the river would costs a lot. Instead of extending southwards, could it be extended northwards? Is there a mountain on the northern end? I think there was an article a few pages back that discussed about the runway of surigao airport. If I remember it right, I think our runway could accommodate bigger planes and the problem lies only with the volume of cargoes and passengers.

the best solution is to divert the river. yan lang naman ang kailangan gawin in case matatamaan talaga siya or else find a new site which is very costly na.

yes our runway can accomodate bigger planes but with lesser passenger and cargoes. a great sacrefice for the company.

Unsaon man? buhatan og lain portion para sa river :ohno::ohno: why man na mag extend pa na kaya naman pala mag landing ang airbus or biger planes.

the best solution is to divert the river. yan lang naman ang kailangan gawin in case matatamaan talaga siya or else find a new site which is very costly na.

Ah Good to know!

With this, Cassura added that the city and provincial governments are requesting the Philippine Army for the use of its chopper to bring foods and other basic commodities to 21 barangay-islands of the province.

"Many passengers are also stranded at the Lipata Port as of this morning since owners of RORO vessels were advised to cancel their operation", he said.

"As soon as the city will be placed under state of calamity, we can immediately use the calamity fund so that we can immediately purchase grains to replace the crops that were damaged", Mayor Casurra disclosed. [top]
