As said in my previous post , this first leg of my circle trip was flying TAC-CEB-MNL. Not that I am complaining, I'm just telling! I've been doing that for many years now. Oh, if you're new here, or not yet that familiar, I've started using IATA airport codes in my blogs, like: TAC is the code for Tacloban, CEB for Cebu and MNL for Manila. Now.., why go through connecting flights when there are lots of direct TAC to MNL flights? Well, people have many varied reasons in doing so.

Let's go na! Departure From The New Panglao International Airport Bye Panglao's New Airport ! Pushback! Aw, not literally push-back. I
