This is a flash report from mission leader Al.
We arrived in Bicol at abiut 2.30pm, about one hour behind schedule, but safe with the grace and blessings of God. Basically, the objective of this blog is to alert you all on what to expect on the way to Legaspi City Airport from Manila.
First, get someone to hold your baggage tags issued by Cebu Pacific. We had problems with the baggage tags and it caused us delays in customs clearance, both at Manila and Legaspi Airports. Each checked in luggage should come with one.
Second, you will have to check in as groups according to our e-tickets, whether you are at Singapore's Budget Terminal or Manila's Terminal 3. Alert someone from Cebu Pacific that you are travelling as a group and are checking in as one. This would greatly facilitate your check in.
Third, there is a long lay-over at Manila Airport. You can spend a bit of time at level 4 where you can find Jollibee, Mr Donut and Kopi Roti for your stomach's entertainment. Good burgers. Good chickens. Our guys played cards and slept in the area. But closer to the check in time, you can already move to the departure lounge. Tax at the airport is 200php. Inside the departure lounge, there are more food outlets and souvenir shops. The announcements could be difficult to understand as they are made in their usual Philippine authoritative monotone.
Won't have time to talk about other details of our arrival, but according to the hosts, it has been raining the past five days, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. But the sun briefly showed its face on our arrival. Portents of good things to come? Even the volcano was in full view.
Anyway, youth mission leader Samantha Chia and myself of us will be at the Legaspi airport tomorrow to meet you.We hope your flight won't be delayed. The Philippine Airlines flight before us was cancelled!
So while we set up our base here, godspeed everyone.
