NAIA Terminal 3

I just got back from Davao a few days ago from a student council congress. I’m not yet in a mood to write exhaustively about the KASAMA sa UP (Katipunan ng mga Sangguniang Mag-aaral sa UP) Congress, plus I won’t be home for another two days, so I’ll just leave you with some photos of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA 3).

Barely a leisure trip to Cebu (Part I)

May 20, 2008. I flew to Cebu last Tuesday night for a KASAMA sa UP (Katipunan ng mga Sangguniang Mag-aaral sa UP) meeting in UP Cebu. The meeting wasn’t until Thursday, but I flew in a few days ahead to able to catch up on however little rest and recreation I could squeeze in my free time. I had wanted to go about it by myself, book a hotel room for two nights and do anything I desired in Cebu City.

I told my mom that I could take care of myself, but she insisted that I stayed with a family friend of ours, whose family is actually one of the old-rich political families in Cebu. Yes, even the highway in Mandaue that we traversed from the airport to Cebu City was named after my host’s father. The long bridge we crossed form Mactan to Mandaue was named after my host’s cousin. They’re not active in politics now, though. This is the same family of my mother’s close college friend, whose father’s death and death anniversary were the reasons why we were in Cebu City a couple of times in the past two years.
