To start off and promote these new flights, PAL offers discounted fares as as low as ~1300 Pesos. Travel period for this sale varies depending on the destination but all fall between October 1 and March 15, 2018. There are black out dates especially the known national holidays. Booking period is until March 15, 2018 too. For more information, you check out this link.


Free Baggage and In-flight Snack

The one differentiating factor that sets Philippine Airlines apart from other local airline companies is their free baggage. All flights are guaranteed with 10kg of baggage in addition to the 7kg hand-carry bag. In-flight snacks such as coffee and cookies are also guaranteed to all flights. Of course, the more expensive fare classes will have more baggage and likely better food. But for most of us, coffee or other drinks is enough for our short domestic flights.

For frequent flyers, I suggest you sign up to Mabuhay Miles, Philippine Airlines' reward program. Especially if you frequently travels abroad for work, this is a good way to earn a trip for your own vacation. Philippine Airlines has vast network of international flights including direct flights to the United States. You can sign up via Mabuhay Miles official website. Here's the link.

SCAM: My First Scam Text This Year; 850000 Pesos from GMA Kapuso Foundation

And despite all the efforts by PLDT and Globe Telecom to curb text message scammers, from time to time, they still creep out and show up in our inboxes. And as hard to believe as the messages of winning some great amounts of money is the fact that there are still people who believe them. I personally know someone and that scam text message triggered events that turn her life upside down. So my point is, we still need to be careful regarding these scam messages. The danger is real! So without further ado, here's the scam message I received a few days ago. On Sunday, January 7, 2018 at exactly 3:33PM (PH time), I received this message from a certain Atty.

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part 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 known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis.

We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i....
