MASBATE, PHILIPPINES - (THE TICKET BOOKING STAGE)

It's been a news in the internet and various social networking sites that Airphil will have its PISO FARE last July 31, 2011. A one day event. Everyone go gaga on their comments, waiting for the clock to strike 12 midnight for the start of the promo, but nothing came on the site. At first I thought it was hoax since it was already afternoon of July 31 and yet still no promo for AIRPHIL. The Social networking site and fan page of the airline has been flooded with angry comments. I've been up-to-date with all the latest in their twitter, facebook, and the AIRPHIL site for any explanations but it was only at four when they announce thru their facebook fan page account, that there's indeed a piso fare promo but not on July 31, 2011 but on midnight of August 1, 2011 for travel Feb-March and June next year. I was so excited, that I loaded my broadband and waited 'til midnight, but the site was so busy that I cannot logged nor booked anything. I was so disappointed and just said to myself that maybe it wasn't for me this time. I gave up and sleep.




The next day, as I was browsing the twitter page, I've read that only few got positive reaction regarding the promo. Some even experienced what I've experienced. I thought I'm not going to get any from this promo so when I came to office and start browsing, I wasn't expecting anything, just the normal browsing... :)





As I continue with my searches, I've seen some open slot for other destinations, well, not the familiar ones but some places worth discovering. There were still slots going to Tacloban, Catbalogan, Masbate, Calbayog, and Tuguegarao. I immediately phoned my friend and asked her if she wants to come with me on my new travel, she said yes and aked me where to go. And I said MASBATE.




Booked it as fast as I can and jarannnnnnn!!!! Masbate for March 2012...
