Zest Air Flights s-u-c-k bigtime: My 9hr flight delay experience

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.

Stopover: Mactan Shrine

During our final day in Cebu Philippines, Fitz, Don, and I visited the Mactan Shrine. The shrine which is located in Punta Engano, Lapu Lapu City was built as tribute to the heroism of the local chieftain, Lapu Lapu.

The shrine is built inside a small park. A statue of Lapu Lapu was built near the shoreline, facing the sea. A few meters away is an obelisk built in honor of the Philippine Discoverer Ferdinand Magellan.
