MCIA Expansion

That is going to be the additional gate of the Mactan Cebu International Airport. That one connects to gate 5, so it probably is going to be an added convenience to domestic passengers. I think it’s wise of them to have this additional “finger” to the existing facility that obviously needs it. Overdue in fact. It has never been as chaotic in this airport compared to others. But, it is just a bit more inconvenient to many – especially women with children and the elderly.

Come to think of it, with the number of domestic flights that arrive and depart at MCIA from midnight to midnight, it would be perplexing for many to realize that there are actually just two gates with aerobridges and two others that are “ramp gates”. Thus, especially for Cebu Pacific (since they have the most), even if your flight was using a jet aircraft that can easily be connected via the aerobridge, you still are boarded by climbing down and up stairs – no escalators nor elevators!

Let’s hope that new ‘pier’ will become usable soon enough!

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Carigara Delicacies as Pasalubong

Image
This was still on my joyride from Calubian to Tacloban, we naturally had to pass by Carigara. This time we "stopped-to-shop" oh ha?! My driver promised his three lovely daughters that he would bring home some pasalubong from Carigara, thus the 'shopping'. He went (I followed) to only this roadside store.., Well, he's been a driver for so long a time, I cannot contest his knowledge on where to buy the best of these pasalubongs! There are many stores on this highway strip, and I think they sell the same things! As the driver picked what he had to pick (and haggled with the vendors for more] I clicked hehe! Here's the honest deal about me and these sweets from Carigara - or other sweets from anywhere for that matter: I am not really too keen on any of them, such that I'd crave for, or plan to specifically seek them out. BUT - when I get started with ANY of them, there's no telling when I will/can stop. IF at all! I do not even know or care to know wha
