How Was It First Time Flying?

In my 28 years, I can confess that I have never ridden a flying plane (The last one I boarded was just for field trip purposes). But that has ended with my recent trip to Davao, particularly Tagum City where I attended the Palarong Pambansa 2015. Since the trip would require air travel, knowing about my trip there made it very exciting as I can finally say that it will be my first airplane ride (and back).

It was with Cebu Pacific that I would make my maiden flight, and luckily their terminal is at NAIA Terminal 3 which has a better location and structure among the terminals in Metro Manila. Although, there has been improvements on the other terminal which I have to see and experience in the future.

I went on my first airplane trip and I went to Davao region for the Palarong Pambansa that will be hosted by Tagum City, Davao Del Norte. Davao Del Norte is one of the agricultural provinces in the country and it is known to be the Banana Capital of the Philippines. But aside from agricultural products, Davao Del Norte is a province blessed with mineral deposits, agricultural richness, and nature tourism spots.

Visit the Philippines Year 2015 gets stamp of approval from PHLPost

The postcard-worthy events under Tourism Promotions Board (TPB)’s year-long campaign “Visit the Philippines Year (VPY) 2015” get a stamp of approval, literally, with the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost)’s VPY 2015 commemorative stamps.

PHLPost has rolled out the stamps to help highlight the campaign aimed at encouraging local and foreign tourists to participate in various activities and events in the country. It will circulate about 39,000 copies of these VPY 2015 stamps, featuring the campaign logo designed by BBDO Guerrero Philippines.

According to TBP COO Domingo Ramon Enerio III, “Stamps are a symbol of connection between family and friends, sharing their experiences as they make their way towards different paths. With the beautiful places they visit, new faces they meet, colorful festivals and events they experience, these stamps bind people together with archives of stories that make visiting the Philippines more fun,”

The stamp, measuring 25 mm x 50 mm, is sold at P10 each. The stamps and souvenir sheet are now available at all PHLPost post shops in the country.
