A Splendid Visit to Boracay, Philippines featuring Puka Beach, Mt. Luho Viewdeck, Happy Dreamland & more! [PHOTOS]

This will be my very first post for July 2012. I had a visit to one of Asia's Top Beach Destination (world as well) which is Boracay last June 23-25, 2012. Also the very first time to take AirPhil Express with my roundtrip flight (fortunately, I didn't experience any delays or issues regarding their service). My second visit to this island paradise in Malay, Aklan (see my previous article, will get back there on October & November 2012) but this time, I travelled all by myself and was able to explore the other side of the island like Puka Beach, Mt. Luho (highest point in Boracay), the new "Happy Dreamland" Boracay Amusement Park and more. You may refer to below photos on how my trip went into a splendid one.

Let me give you an exciting stuff for Easter Sunday. Thru AirPhil's twitter post (@airphilexpress), I think they'll have this ZERO FARE PROMO, got no specific announcement yet in their website as per checking and as of this writing (they'll actually gonna post it around 12midnight) whether all domestic or international flights are included, also on what particular travel dates will this be effective. Refer to below screenshot of AirPhil's tweet via @airphilexpress regarding the subject.

San Miguel Corporation's Entry to Airphil Express confirmed by Lucio Tan

"It has been a tough and uphill climb, but we managed to survive in this challenging airline environment..." - these are few of the words expressed by Chinese Filipino business magnate Dr. Lucio C. Tan (actually the second richest businessman in Philippines as of 2011, next to Mr. Henry Sy), the one who managed Philippine Airlines & Airphil Express. Below is the email I just recently received from Airphil Express via "EXPRESSions on Air":

MESSAGE FROM DR. LUCIO C. TAN

Posted: 04 Apr 2012 03:00 AM PDT

To my Airphil Express Family,

I wish to share with you a very important development in Airphil Express' corporate existence.

Last night, San Miguel Corp. president Ramon S. Ang and I, signed an investment agreement which paves the way for SMC's entry into Airphil Express.

This development bodes well for the airline as one of the country's fastest growing low-cost carriers. The expected infusion of fresh capital and planned acquisition of new fleet are expected to result in better service to the flying public and more secure jobs.

I am proud to say that over the past several years, Airphil Express has displayed competitive edge in the market clamoring for affordable yet efficient airline service. It has been a tough and uphill climb, but we managed to survive in this challenging airline environment.

SMC's entry should further boost efforts towards ensuring synergy between our two companies. With this mindset, I believe we are entering into a new and exciting phase in our corporate existence.

I look forward to your continuing support in making Airphil Express the leading low cost carrier in the country.

DR. LUCIO C. TAN

This can be a good partnership by both giants to provide quality service. Just to share, I chose AirPhil Express for my 2012 Birthday getaway with Cebu-Boracay-Manila connecting flights, it's a 2-day celebration. A bit excited with this, hope to hear more great news from them! Ciao! ;)
