Earlier today I was trying to book a flight to Manila for my mom and me. There are only two carriers enroute to our province, PAL and Cebu Pacific respectively.
I tried PAL but flight date is too close and it should be 2 days booking before desired date of travel. On to the website of Cebu Pacific. I found a flight schedule at 12:45 today. I booked immediately, I typed our details and as I was about to pay with my credit card, the site suddenly crashed and when i tried once more, it says that sorry there is no available flight on that day. I am aware that flights are everyday as my hubby is a frequent flyer. My Mom who is a senior citizen at 70 have no choice but to take the 11-hour bus ride to Manila.

Checked Cebu Pacific's price details, there is a web admin fee. Admin should see to it and maintain their website for a better surfing and booking onlie.

typhoon Mina

Typhoon Mina visited the province and Paoay once again went underwater:

The southern part of the town was isolated. as water rose as high as to 6-7 feet, unpassable to any kind of vehicle.

Way to Sta. Rita was flooded.

 Barangay officials of San Juan preparing relief goods, distributed to families of affected areas.

That's Punong Kagawad Ric Tabuli heading the team.

Power was down. So with the telephone lines.

Discovered Lexi's  store at the Rosmont Villa where we buy supplies during the flood. Now we need not go to Batac via Currimao.

Paoay is now back to normal. Power was restored on time.
