“We are excited with the April launch of our Pagadian route, and we hope that we can stimulate the tourism and economy in the area.

I am so excited upon knowing that MNL-PAG Cebu Pacific Air route has been reopened. I would again be one of the frequent travellers to the area. Is the airport bigger now? Are the planes bigger? Whew! after 3 years, the tricycle drivers of Ozamiz airport cannot collect Php300 from me from the airport to IBT which is soooooo near.
