Another good news: Government demolishes illegally constructed resort rumored to be co-owned by Manny Pacquiao.
Lawyers Harry Roque and Joel Butuyan, counsels of BFI, said “the ruling will protect the best beach on earth and the country’s tourism crown jewel.”
Known as the Boracay Marina Project, the reclamation was supposed to reclaim 40 hectares costing P1.3 billion in the areas adjacent to the jetty ports, Barangays Caticlan and Manoc-manoc in the Municipality of Malay.
Ipinaliwanag ni Commissioner David na pitong buwan na nakasara ang ilang parte ng runway ng NAIA dahil inaayos kaya kailangan walang eroplano sa runway 30 minutos makalaampas ang hatingggabi. Dahil doon, sunod-sunod ang mga dating ng eroplano.
Ang problema, maliit talaga ang lugar para sa immigration sa NAIA I.
Ito ang isang parte ng sulat ni David: “Please be informed tha the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has commenced implementing a seven-month partial closure of the NAIA due to runway repairs from January to August 2012 from 00:30H to 5:30H, affecting departing and arriving flights at the NAIA.
Hindi bale ako dahil tatlo at kalahati oras lang ang biyahe mula Seoul. Ang marami sa mga nakapila ay galing pa ng Amerika at ang iba ay galing Middle East at Europe na humigit-kumulang 14 oras ang biyahe. Siyempre pagod na sila. May mga bata na umiiyak.
It’s not fun arriving in the Philippines via NAIA1.
Summer is here.
It’s travel time and we have 7,107 choices in the country. For those who have more disposable income, Southeast Asia destinations are tantalizing.
Vacation is time for relaxation and merriment. For some it’s adventure. But we should be careful not be too relaxed that we forget caution. The last thing that we would want is to turn vacation into nightmare.
Here are some simple, practical vacation and travel tips.
Pagdating ko doon, sinabi cancelled daw ang flight ko na dapat ay 7:40 ng umaga.
Uuwi ako sa aming bahay sa Guisijan, Laua-an, Antique. Wala na kasing eroplano na pumupunta sa Antique kaya via Iloilo ako tuwing umuuwi sa amin. Pwede rin via Caticlan sa Aklan, kaya lang mas maraming sasakyan ang bumabiyahe mula Iloilo.
Nang kinuha ko ang aking ticket noong isang buwan, pinili ko ang unang flight, mga 5:00 ng umaga dahil gusto ko bago magtanghalian nasa amin na ako. Apat na oras pa sa bus mula Iloilo papuntang amin.
VERA Files The resignation of Tourism Secretary Alberto Lim has left unresolved the problem with a politically well-connected tourism official he has brought to the…
Sana totohanin ng munisipalidad ng Malay sa pamumuno ng mayor na si John Yap na ipasara ang West Cove. Dapat lang. Dapat nga gibain na yun dahil unang-una, bawal tayuan ng istruktura ang corals na iyon ang kinatatayuan ng resort.
Hindi pa nakuntento sa pagtayo sa bawal, nagpa-extend pa ng parang helipad at mga cabana sa dagat.
Grabeng pambabastos at paglabag ng batas ang ginawa ng West Cove sa Boracay.
We asked the flight stewardess about it and she said there were no cards.
Upon our arrival, someone distributed the cards as we exited the tube to the NAIA 1 terminal. As expected, we all had to stop and fill out the cards.
A slight delay, actually, but an unnecessary inconvenience.
Palagi kami nagtatanungan ng aming mga kaibigan na kasama ngayon sa biyahe, kayang-kaya natin ito a. Bakit hindi natin naiisip ito?
Pagdating sa natural na biyaya katulad ng beaches, rivers, hindi nahuhuli ang Pilipinas sa ganda. Para sa akin nga, walang tatalo sa Boracay sa natural na ganda.
Pagdating naman sa pagka-artistic, hindi rin tayo nahuhuli. Bakit hindi natin napapalago ang ating turismo na maaring makapagbigay ng maraming Pilipino.

He admitted that he was the one responsible for the controversial branding scheme.
Romano defended his decision to spend P4.8 million in state funds for the launching which he and Tourism Secretary Alberto Lim said was just a preview of the concept and logo.
“Palagay ko po para maipakita rin natin ‘yung ganda nung brand na aming gustong i-propose. ‘Yun ang inakala naming paraan na inaasahan namin na ‘yung mga dumalo roon ay matuwa po sa aming inilulunsad. Ang DOT naman ho ay nagi-stage sa iba’t ibang events na hindi naman po kalayuan ang ginagastos sa mga ganyang uri ng event dahil talaga naman pong kailangan mayroon talagang ipe-present ng maganda,” he said.
President Benigno Aquino III immediately accepted the resignation of Romano.
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said: “Enteng offered his resignation, he admitted his mistake, it was honorable of him to offer his resignation and the president respects him for his act. And it is with reluctance that the president accepted his resignation.”
