Surigaonons, watch out for Urduja!

Here's what I recently got from the pagasa website. Read on:

At 4:00 p.m. today, Tropical Depression "URDUJA" was estimated based on satellite and surface data at 170 kms East of Surigao City (9.7°N, 127.1°E) with maximum winds of 55 kph near the center. It is forecast to move West Northwest slowly. Northeast Monsoon affecting Northern Luzon.

Will Zest Air Invade Surigao?

I just read from MindaNews dated November 12, 2009 that Zest Air will be flying to Surigao City four times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays) starting November 16.

However, when I checked Zest Air's website, I could not make a booking for Manila to Surigao trip for whatever flight date. The remarks, "No flight available!" would always appear on their book and pay window. What happened? Is that news just a false publicity?

Although I don't recommend taking smaller planes especially on peak seasons (I'll explain in one of my future posts as to why), I would welcome open competition in the airline industry. And the reason is obvious...

Hopefully Zest Air will finally make it to my homeland... :)

welcome address

i may not be residing in surigao right now but i visit it every now and then (although not as often as i would like to. huhuhu). i could not guarantee that i'll be able able to share informative posts about surigao in this blog but i hope i could. i would like to give it a try, just give me the chance...

anyway, dear readers, especially my fellow surigaonons, you are invited to make comments, offer suggestions, express ideas, and whatever you like to do in this blog. just don't be violent, okay?

padajon surigao! :)
