Kenneth Cobonpue's Proposal of NAIA1 Makeover

"Its time someone did something about the worst airport in the world. So we made this design because we believe that no matter how beautiful our country is, our airports give the first and last impressions. This plan is relatively inexpensive and simple to adapt. The plan also involves renovating the interiors to allow faster flow of travelers between security, immigration and departure. The first step has been done. Lets hope our government moves on this proposal quickly."  taken from Kenneth Cobonpue Facebook page. 


Just a little background, Kenneth Cobonpue is an Internationally recognized designer for his classy furniture and concept products. His client includes Hollywood celebrities and European multinational corporation. He grew up and was raised in Cebu and most of his designs somehow were inspired by Cebu and the surrounding islands he said. 


Kenneth Conbonpue, Budji Layug, Royal Pineda in cooperation with NCCP (National Competitiveness Council of the Philippines) [it's the first time I heard of this council actually but whatever that is forgive my ignorance) proposed a pro-bono design of NAIA1 make-over and renovation. As we all know NAIA1 is one of the worst International airport in the world and it's about time we do something about it.

My dream of a Camiguin Weekend!

I haven't blog seriously my entire life until I saw Airphil Express promo on my facebook newsfeed. Oh yes, I'm freakin' serious. I write just for the heck of it, nothing professional or something. I tried writing before to save up for my retirement but I just recently realized it would take me 60 years before I can take advantage of it so without hesitation I drop the idea. And here I am writing for a Camiguin weekend. Hoping that Airphil will take me to the streets of Camiguin dancing to the beat of Lanzones festival.

I grew up in the outskirts of Mindanao and traveled as far as Zamboanga, Davao and Lanao del Sur but I haven't been to Camiguin or experience Lanzones festival for that matter. For all the good reason fate always has its funny ways in cancelling all of my leisure plans for Camiguin. 

And now that I have all the luxury of time on every perfect sunny weekend, I don't have any money to spend for it. I hope this time fate will do me a favor and help me answer this important question at the moment 'Why do you want to experience and join Lanzones Festival?' After few considerations my answer is nothing special, I want to prove myself the things I heard so much about the festival and Camiguin as a whole without spending too much. The things I heard before I hope it's the same thing they have until now. The sugary white-sand beaches, hot and cold springs, friendly and hospitable people and specially the parade of free lanzones itself are just a few that I am looking forward to.

For now I will just sit here sipping lemonade preparing my stuff for a Camiguin weekend. (me just wishful thinking Haha)

 "Experience MassKara Festival, Hermosa Festival and Lanzones Festival this October. Airphil Express flies daily to BACOLOD, ZAMBOANGA and CAGAYAN DE ORO from Cebu and Manila. Visit www.airphilexpress.com to book!

Where in the world is CEB?

"Who the hell is CEB by the way?" My friend asked me out of sheer innocent stupidity. For almost 5 years of flying Cebu Pacific she don't have a single idea of where was who. And I thought I know the answer too. So we ended up reading the whole post and realized Cebu Pacific just recently baptized their mascot naming it 'Ceb'. And to spread the word they launch a promo "Where in the world is CEB?". 

For details please don't ask me just stare and you will see!
