LUCKY CEBUANA WINS FREE TRIPS FROM CEBU PACIFIC! (swerte!)

MANILA, Philippines—This Cebuana’s unlucky streak finally ended on Wednesday.

Just as she was about to hop onto her flight to her home province of Cebu, Grace Geloca, who spent the last four months in Cavite as househelp, got a call from the management of Cebu Pacific who informed her that she had won a prize for being the air carrier's 36 millionth passenger.

Cebu Pacific gave her a year-long travel pass which entitles her to free trips to destinations covered by the country's foremost budget carrier. On top of this, she also got her old job back and even brushed elbows with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Geloca, 19, met Arroyo face to face when the President graced Cebu Pacific's first anniversary of operations out of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (Naia-3).

“This is not transferable to your boyfriend,” Arroyo teased the giggling Geloca as the President handed her the prize. Arroyo and Geloca stood on the stage with JG Summit chair emeritus John Gokongwei and his son, Cebu Pacific president and chief executive Lance Gokongwei.

Wearing an orange pantsuit, the President interviewed Geloca, who shared a bit of her story as househelp in Cavite.

Geloca told Arroyo that she had been laid off in Cebu as a machine worker. She flew to Manila to look for another job but ended up as a house maid in Cavite.

“It was also her first time to ride an airplane four months ago,” Arroyo told the audience when she asked Geloca if her flight home aboard Cebu Pacific was her first flight experience.

The President said the Cebuana teenager had to leave her hometown in Carcar because she got laid off from the company she was working for. Geloca told Arroyo that sales were probably slow and that's why a lot of people including her got the pink slip.
But the company called up Geloca recently to inform her that she could have her old job back, the President said.

Arroyo wished Geloca well, telling her “good luck to your new phase in life,” before stepping off the stage after a photo opportunity and proceeding to her waiting convoy outside the departure area of Terminal 3.

there are quite a lot of paradise islands here in the Philippines. in fact, my friends and i will be visiting the CARAMOAN PENINSULA in july. FYI, caramoan is the resort especially chosen by the production of SURVIVOR FRANCE to tape one of their shows.

anyway, there's another paradise in the philippines called SARANGANI. i haven't been there myself but i'm finding out more about the place through reading. read with me:

SARANGANI: UNMATCHED BEAUTY

From ancient finds to endangered wildlife, from rugged coasts to mythical caves, Sarangani has it all.

Sarangani is a province whose unmatched beauty has yet to bediscovered. Few places are as splendidly endowed with natural resources that promise opportunities for development as this predominantly coastal province in the southernmost tip of the Philippines. Most of its treasures have remained untapped to this day including its 230-kilometer coastline strewn with awe-inspiring coves and rock formations.

Sarangani is full of wondrous surprises. Motoring across the province is as pleasurable as taking a breeze in one’s own paradise. A golf course in the valleys of Malungon offers some of the most challenging fairways in the region. It is also here where asparagus and tropical fruits are grown and dried flowers are made for the export market.

A sense of discovery overwhelms one when approaching the eastern municipalities of Alabel, Malapatan and Glan, which face the tranquil waters of Sarangani Bay. These towns have beaches wonderfully preserved by protective coves, and shipwreck diving sites dating back to Spanish times. The bay is more popularly known to be the home of the Sarangani Bay bangus (milkfish). Turn over another stone and one will find that the bay is also home to simple village folk who have lived their lives carving and painting their dreams in the boats they build.

While the province is intersected by General Santos City, the discoveries that await in the three western municipalities of Maasim, Kiamba and Maitum are as countless as the golden sunrises of the Celebes Sea. In 1991, anthropomorphic jars were found in Ayub cave at Maitum which have come to be known in world history as Maitum Jars. A sanctuary of the largest bats in the world can also be found in the same site. Endemic to the Philippines, over 180,000 giant golden-crown flying foxes can be seen dangling in the branches of forest trees during daytime.

With its back to the Daguma Range, the lush mountains of this province hold many of nature’s wonderful creatures including the tarsier, the smallest monkey in the world and its predator, the Philippine eagle. From its bosom also flows the purest freshwater sources and pristine waterfalls unsettled only by short dips of its native dwellers and a few daring adventurers.

It is amazing how one can still uncover treasures of the old world in a place like Sarangani. Let its limitless wonders unravel before you.
