Hello Everyone!  I'm in Cebu City right now to facilitate an on-ground event and some digital promotions in relation to the Sinulog Festival.  I'm fortunate to be working as a campaigns specialist in a telecommunications company where I get to be sent to different places to implement below the line activities such as events, merchandising and other promotions.
With my officemates: Ian and Zimon

It's the most awaited time of the year for Cebu City, the Sinulog Festival.  Of all the many times that I've been here, this is my first experience of the Sinulog Festival.  I'm blessed for having the opportunity to travel for free!
Checking in my luggage was a breeze when you're in Business Class
Fllights were all fully booked for the Economy Class.  Hence, there was no choice but to upgrade my seat to Business Class.  It's my first Business Class seat experience in PAL and it was indeed a memorable one.  
PAL Business Class Boarding Pass
I had buffet breakfast for free at Mabuhay Lounge
Imagine being seated next to the owner of the classy Elizabeth Mall of Cebu City and seated close to celebrities like Marian Rivera, Dennis Trillo, Rafael Rosel and Raymond Gutierrez, whom I think have shows here in Cebu City for the Sinulog Festival too.  I was too shy to ask for a picture with them, I was starstruck.  

I will be busy here in the next four days.  I might not be able to update my blog as regularly as I want it.  So please do check my Instagram account or my Twitter for updates of my exciting stay here in the Queen City!

Hope you are all having a great day too!  Tell me what excites you today?

Pit Señor!  :)

      I have a secret, I timidly tried to ask for an actress I was with in business class to have a picture with her, she shrugged her shoulder, didn't look at me and walked fast. I was shocked because I didn't believe in blind items about her being a B*tch in real life. But there I've witnessed it, experienced it myself. She was consisted with that attitude all the way through the exit of the airport. GRABE!!!!

    I really wish I also have that kind of work which allows me to travel for free. I only live in Bohol but I haven't been yet to Cebu. I really want to visit the place but not during the peak season. I am not fond of crowded places :D
