The famous Ysalina Bridge, or commonly called the Carmen Bridge, is the first bridge in Cagayan de Oro built around the 1930s.


There are places you visit because they are beautiful, places you return to because you had a great experience, and then there are places that will always feel like home no matter how far life takes you. For me, that place is Cagayan de Oro City. I may be based in BGC, Taguig today, surrounded by skyscrapers, busy streets, restaurants, offices, and the fast-paced lifestyle of Metro Manila, but a big part of me still belongs to CDO. I completed my schooling there, from elementary to high school and eventually college, so when I think about Cagayan de Oro, I am not simply thinking about a destination on a map. I am thinking about the place where I grew up, made memories, met people who became part of my life, and slowly became the person I am today.

Imagine Palawan's crystal-clear waters, lush flora, and enticing limestone cliffs calling you to go on an unforgettable experience. But there's a catch: you're in Davao, and there are no direct flights to this paradise. Do not worry, since where there is a desire to explore, there is a method to get there. 𝗖𝗲𝗯𝘂 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 makes it possible and convenient for you to go to Palawan from Davao. Let's go into how you can make your ideal trip a reality.


Worry no more if you're planning a trip from Davao to Palawan and are having trouble finding a direct flight. Here are 10 items to consider in making travel arrangements with 𝗖𝗲𝗯𝘂 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰:


1. Check the Cebu Pacific Website

To find available flights, utilize the 𝗖𝗲𝗯𝘂 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 smartphone app or their website. Enter the cities of your departure (Davao) and destination (Palawan), as well as the dates you would want to go.


2. Verify Flight Routes

Start by looking into the possible flight paths from Davao to Palawan. There may be connecting flights or flights with layovers in different cities, even though direct flights are not always possible. Layovers can be an opportunity to explore new cities or simply relax before your next flight. If your connecting flight has a long layover in Manila or Cebu, consider turning it into a mini-adventure. Explore iconic landmarks, indulge in local cuisine, or unwind at nearby attractions. Just make sure to factor in sufficient time for transit and any potential delays.


3. Book Early

To get the greatest rates, aim to book your tickets as early as possible for flights, as they are typically less expensive when purchased in advance. Securing your travel tickets in advance not only ensures a space on your preferred flights but also often results in better rates and discounts. Keep an eye out for Cebu Pacific specials and seat sales to save money on your Palawan excursion. Booking early also gives you more flexibility in terms of flight times and seat availability.


4. Consider Flexible Travel Dates

If your travel dates are changeable, look at different dates to see if there are more flight possibilities available. Adjusting your travel dates by a day or two will help you find a suitable flight. Also, flexibility is the key. When organizing your Palawan adventure from Davao with Cebu Pacific, flexibility in your travel dates can be your best friend. While there may not be a direct flight from Davao to Palawan, there are connecting flights with stops in Manila or other major cities. Being flexible with your departure and return dates improves your chances of obtaining the best flight options. 


5. Look Into Connecting Flights

Look for flights that may include layovers in other locations such as Manila and Cebu. If direct flights are unavailable, connecting flights may be a viable alternative. Cebu Pacific has connecting flights from Davao to a variety of cities, including Manila and Cebu, which will act as transit stops for your trip to Palawan. Use the airline's website or mobile app to find flights that will link you to your destination. Pay attention to the stopover period to ensure you have enough time to catch your connecting flight without being rushed. 


6. Check for Promotions

Keep an eye on 𝗖𝗲𝗯𝘂 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰's special promotions and discounts. They frequently feature seat sales and special offers that might help you save money on your ticket reservations.


7. Consider Alternative Airports

If there aren't any convenient flights from Davao to Palawan, you might want to explore departing from one of the neighboring airports, like General Santos or Zamboanga, and then finding another way to get to Palawan, such as taking a connecting flight.


8. Prepare and Organize Your Itinerary

After you've booked your tickets, create your Palawan itinerary, which should include accommodations, activities, and transportation inside the island.



If you follow these procedures and are flexible with your travel plans, you can book your journey from Davao to Palawan with 𝗖𝗲𝗯𝘂 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 even if there are no direct flights available.

To cap off the 10 items to consider in flying with Cebu Pacific from Davao to Palawan, and as a frequent traveler, these two remaining items are life savers to all aspiring Davaoeño travelers to Palawan. 


9. Pack Wisely - As you prepare for your Cebu Pacific flight from Davao to Palawan, pack smartly to ensure a hassle-free travel experience. Consider the airline's baggage allowance and restrictions to avoid last-minute surprises at the airport. Pack basics such as travel documents, prescriptions, and clothing suitable for Palawan's tropical environment.


10. Embrace the Adventure - While the lack of a direct flight from Davao to Palawan may appear to be a barrier, it also presents a chance to go on an exciting and discovery-filled voyage. Accept the challenge of discovering new places, meeting other travelers, and making amazing memories along the way.

Huawei joins Kadayawan festivities through Behind Portait Photography Workshop
After successfully holding mobile phone photography workshops for media and consumers in Manila and Cebu, Huawei paced up modern portrait photography in Davao City last August 19, 2017.

I was very thrilled to be part of the event as Huawei introduced the new Huawei P10 and P10 Plus through

Distinguished street and human photographer and Huawei ambassador Larry Monserate Piojo facilitated the session and imparted his knowledge on the fundamentals of photography, the significance of tools used and the artistry of portraiture.
 
Huawei ambassador Larry Monserate Piojo facilitated the workshop exclusively for users of Huawei mobile devices.
The participants were given the chance to try out the new Huawei P10 in the flesh and attested to its superior image quality courtesy of its Leica co-engineered dual camera.

To top these off, one participant went home with his own Huawei P10. That was amazing!

More about the Huawei P10 by Digital Photography Review

The P10 is Huawei's latest high-end smartphone in a more compact form factor compared to the company's Mate 9 phablet. A 5.1" Full-HD display with very thin bezels allows for a design that easily fits into even small pockets. On the inside, top-end compone

The Leica-branded camera comes with the same specification as its equivalent in the Mate 9 and combines a 12MP color sensor with a 20MP monochrome chip. Both lenses have an F2.2 aperture and the color variant also features optical image stabilization. As before, color and monochrome image information are combined for better image detail, higher dynamic range and lower noise levels. Other features include laser-assisted autofocus, a two-tone LED flash and 4K video recording.
On the software side of things a new 'Leica-style' portrait mode uses 3D face detection and applies a combination of fake bokeh, adjustable illumination and 'beautification' effects to your portrait subjects. We've put the hardware and software through its paces for our full camera review.

The only image with Monochromatic Bokeh Effect I took during the activity part of the workshop.

Overall, the workshop was very interactive and I learned a lot from Sir Larry. Also, thanks to Ms. Corinne Bacani, Huawei PH Marketing Director for inviting us.

Truly, Huawei P10 is a selflessly designed smartphone and it's one of the commendable upshots I’ve seen lately. The Mate users should probably look elsewhere. And, of course, to everyone else - the P10 is everything Huawei claims to be - beautiful device, capable of both performance and photography. 

Ciao!
