Air Phil Express, one of the newer low cost carriers in the Philippines is having another round of seat sales again! More reasons to book tours, or book cheap hotels and travel!!!
The new airline promo fare is pegged at PHP600++.
The new seat sale is perfect for the upcoming Masskara Festival 2010 in Bacolod City. Zamboanga City is also celebrating its Fiesta Pilar, also known as the Zamboanga Hermosa Festival in October. This is also a good time to visit Mindanao cities since these areas are less prone to heavy rains during these season.

Preparations are now in full blast as the Province of Negros Oriental stages the annual Buglasan Festival 2010! Every year, all roads lead to Sidlakang Negros, the home of the Buglasan Festival for a week-long festivity.
During this time of the year, The Sidlakang Negros which is located in Dumaguete gets well decorated as this becomes the home of the festival for the next few days.

I have been flying via Zest Air for several times now. And since they started flying to major airports like Iloilo Bacolod and Cebu, I never had any complaints about their service, whatsoever. I am so used to 1 or 2-hour flight delays. I just simply pass it off as a normal occurrence. In fact, last August 20 I flew to Davao for the Kadayawan Festival via Zest Air/
So while we were having a good dinner in Cebu City August 16, at around 9PM, Don received a phone call from a Zest Air agent, Don gave the phone to Fitz who talked to the agent.
Right after the call, Fitz told us that our August 16, 11:55PM flight for Manila will be delayed to August 17, 3AM. Right there and then I said to my two travel buddies that we need a place to stay since we still have 6 hours before flight departure.
