NAIA3 Airport staff makes money while inspecting baggages too..

When i took a flight at Cebu Pacific Airlines in going home to Davao, i experienced a harrassment from their assigned duty inpsector by asking me money while doing inspection of my hand carry baggage before i can proceed to the waiting lobby. He told me that i cannot bring the toy car for my nephew because there was a battery inside. So, he wanted me to removed the battery or else they will confiscate it. I beg with him to allow me to bring it and he smiled at me and started to talked in a slow soft voiced saying " you can bring that provided you will give me something for a snack only" so, what i did, i get my money out from my jacket." but oooops!! don't show/give it here infront of people, the inspector said in a loud voice . But it was not really my intention to give but only to show that i dont have enough money. So, as he was again digging more inside my hand carry bag, he saw some imported cans, and chocolates too that brought from my brother, then he asked me again that i am bringing imported goods then why i dont have money? He insisted that i came from abroad, so i laughed at him and keeps explaining that i did not came from abroad. The inspection lasted almost 10 minutes and another passenger next to me is waiting ready for her inspection too, until the inspector finally decided to get me in and proceed to the waiting lobby..So, You guys, this is another story to tell and to keep us a aware.. Do not give any money to this kind of people coz first and foremost no money involved or any transactions that you are obliged to pay during inspection..Be firm!!!

>> at Pearl Farm Beach Resort

Last March 16, 2009, i was there at the resort and spent 2 days for a vacation with my love one. It was a day for a fiesta celebration called " Araw ng Davao", a yearly event that we always celebrate here in Davao City. This was also my first time to see the resort, eversince i lived here. It took us more than an hour to reach the place. Before taking the boat in going there, we have a picture taking first and there was a birthday party for a 1-year old girl that held at the beach front. I was very amazed because of the settings that were very colorful with many ballons and a very BIG cake. I just can't imagine only few people could afford to spent with that kind of party only for just a 1-year old girl.

So, when we almost got there, we were welcomed by the staff by playing a tribal music and they gave us a drink some kind of juice . Then they drove us to our place to stay in for a couple of days. The foods were served in a buffet type and that costs us 600 to 800 pesos per meal. But you can also have options by ordering per kind of food you want to eat. So, i eat a lot as too many foods were delicious and that my stomach keeps me always in full..hahaha. i never mind with my die at all..it was so great! The resort is a big place, you can even hike few kilometers. They also have swimming pools if you want to swim for free that is included in their package. At night, they have so called " Mindanao nights", it is a program that held inside their restaurant in a buffet type. It is a fun show, games, a tribal dance numbers, a singing tribal songs . Audience was invited to participate to dance. In fact, i participated in their games by just answering a sort of questions that were narrated and you need to listen on it and you have to guess it. I was able to answer and they gave me a souvenier item as my reward..it's unforgettable experience..to be continued...

A perfect timing....







When i was at the NSO office in Quezon City, i had this good timing that i experienced on the day that I requested a copy of my Birth Certificate for a correction. As per their standard operating procedure, the guard gave me a priority number before i could proceed. My number was on 1064 So, i went to the wating area and looked for a vacant seat but it was a verly long lines until i could reached at the officer’s desk. As i took a glanced i found one vacant seat just almost on the second row and almost near the officer’s desk. So, without hesitation, i immediately went to as its like i was almost running coz of was thinking that there might somebody would wanted to take that seat also. While waiting to be called, i was looking at the queing screen and the number showned was only at 490 but honestly, i was so nervous because, my flight to davao will be at 2pm and i was looking at my number that it was impossible for me to be at the window before 12pm as my target time to finished it. So, i was keep on praying that it will be done faster as much a i was expected.

Then, another timing again as I keep turning my head left and right and then looked down on the floor, i saw a piece of paper and guess what?… it was a priority number. I tried to read it and whats good enough is that the number was dated on that day also. Then, i picked it up and called the assigned guard on duty, who was roaming around back and forth in our waiting area then i asked him if the number was still valid and if i can still used it as my priority number. And he answered “Yes”. Ohh…how i felt so very lucky and a good timing again coz this number was on 615, and i was little bit relieved again because on the queing screen it showned 515 and it was then be more better than my first priority number which was supposed to be on my 1064. When i was already seated on the first row, I just waiting for my name next to be called by the officer to be intertained with my problems for correction of my Birth Certificate that i’ve been following for many months. When it was my turned to sit down and talked with the officer, i showed to him my legal documents from the Court to order for correction. After he reads all of it, he went inside the office and then came back, he told me that it’s now ok and that i only have to wait for my priority number to appear on the screen. So, without delayed, i went to the queing area and i keep on eye on the screen so that i will not missed my number. Now, my number 615 was showed up on screen so, i need to go inside for me to be able to line up and submit my requested Birth Certificate form, which has already corrected. At last, i was scheduled to released my corrected BC around 1pm. But poor girl…, i could no longer get it coz i’ll be at the airport already by that time, so, i just asked my brother to claimed it. Then, i went back to my cousins house to get all my baggage and took my lunch first and then leave the house exactly around 11:45am and get into Airport and fly back in Davao.Wow! this is amazing experienced i had to think about it, coz without these things happened, i’m sure, my follow up of my corrected Birth Certificate will not be sucessfully accomplished. You just imagined the good timings i had. First, was the vacant seat, which i found and almost i was getting nearer to the officer’s desk or else, i will be on the last seat, which is on the 10th row seat. Second, the priority number 615 which i found it on the floor, which is nearer number that will be showed up on the queing screen or else i will be the 1064 person to be entertained..Oh! it was really for me that God in his goodness, he find ways to make all these things possible..
