Should you book your next CEBUPAC Tickets thru ONLINE BANKING?

As of this writing, I just had a call with Cebu Pacific's customer service and thankfully it did not disappoint. What I thought would save me a few bucks and time in going to the nearest payment center has cost me more time and money, stress, even. Few day ago, I was able to close two bookings from CebuPac promo fare. Each booking was a round trip domestic flight good for 2 persons. One costs PHP 1,630 and the other was PHP 2,070. I was skeptical at first but since I've read from one blog about its author's experience in booking thru METROBANK online banking, I gave in. It was a smooth transaction.

...was so far the cheapest accommodation we had in our entire cheapbacking journey. And no, it is not discounted or under promo.  HOW TO GET HERE: Via motorbike: coming from Siquijor town center, just follow through the circumferential road of Siquijor going to San Juan. Casa Miranda can be seen along the road.  RATES: PHP 250 -  PHP 300 - Small room (double sized bed) with toilet PHP 450 - Big room with toilet PHP 500 - Big room with toilet and kitchen FOR MORE INFO: Website:  http://casamirandasiquijor.blogspot.com/ THE EXPERIENCE: One should not expect so much from this very basic fan room. But not to underestimate as it can provide you a sound sleep, no bed bugs, a decent double - sized bed, just the right temperature despite the lack of airconditioning of the room. Though not well maintained and one can easily notice its poorly cleaned room and a very small toilet, what it offers were enough to make you just ignore its shortcomings. Besides, cons
