PAL Midnight Sale is Now Monday Madness Promo

By Admin
Update: Latest PAL and PAL Express Monday Madness can be viewed at this Airline Promos Page.


Remember the old PAL Midnight Sale? For those who don't, it is a promotion of Philippine Airlines wherein they offer cheap fares to certain destinations and travel dates every Sunday midnight until 6 in the morning. I still remember the first one back in 2011. PAL's website was inaccessible for almost three hours due to the flood of internet traffic to their servers. Many were irritated, even angered by the unprepared airline company. Slowly though, the succeeding midnight sales becomes more stable.



PAL midnight sale was supposedly meant to combat the aggressive promotions of Cebu Pacific. With their Zero Fare, Piso Fare and other low-cost fare offers, they have stolen a huge chunk of PAL's market share. I guess many are disappointed because PAL just can't match Cebu Pacific's offer. Eventually, the midnight sale loses its popularity.

The New Monday Madness Promo

And here we are now. PAL launched the promo entitled Monday Madness wherein they give cheap fares on selected flights. And things are a little different now. PAL and PAL Express (formely Airphil Express) is almost just one airline company so PAL Express is automatically included in the promo. And unlike before, Cebu Pacific doesn't offer the same low fares they offered back then. Even their Piso Fare costs more than 1000 Pesos roundtrip now, without baggage. There are even cases when the fare price offered by PAL in their promos is even lower than Cebu Pacific's considering that PAL has free 15 kg of baggage and a bigger leg-room.

So, with the new Monday Madness promo, it seems that PAL is back in the list of considerations when it comes to value flights.

4 Steps to Replace Stolen or Lost Passbook

By Admin
My passbook (inside my bag) was recently stolen inside a local grocery store and I would like to share the steps I took in order to secure my account and get a new passbook. The steps outlined here is for a BPI savings account but generally the procedure will be very similar to other banks in the Philippines. 1. Call the Bank to Secure Your Account The first and the most crucial step you need to immediately do is to contact your bank either through phone or personally reporting it to the branch where you opened the account. This will ensure that no funds will get out. The bank will lock the account immediately. The big banks have 24/7 hotlines. For BPI, it's 89-100. You have to do this step ASAP after discovering the lost. 2. Go to the Branch to Ask for Replacement of Passbook This can be a simple replacement of the lost passbook but it can also mean closing the entire account and opening a new one for security purposes.

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

By Admin
My dad recently needs to have a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. So I made a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, turns out, it depends on many factors such as which part of the body is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast" wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information this technique of adding contrast is know as Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a Prostate MRI and I assume it's without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in i-Scan Healthcare Inc here in Quezon City. The cost is 13000 Pesos . Please take not that the amount was just for the scan and the result will be read by a separate professional. Some la

Resigning? SSS Will Deduct Your Loan Balance from Your Last Pay

By Admin
The purpose of this article is to inform the public about this policy of the Social Security System (SSS), the government-owned insurance company for those employed in the private sector. I just learned about this a few months ago when my company announced a workforce reduction program. Among the sad discussions is about this policy of SSS regarding loans in cases of resignation or retrenchment. Section G-2 of the SSS Loan Terms and Conditions (at the back of the loan application form) explicitly says the following: "The employer shall deduct the total balance of the loan from any benefit/s due to the employee and shall remit the same in full to SSS, in case the member-borrower is separated voluntarily (e.g., retirement or resignation) or involuntarily (e.g., termination of employment or cessation of operations of the company)." In other words, y ou will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment statu
