November 1, to the workers, might be a
holiday, but to the students, it is much more than a holiday because the Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB) said students could avail themselves of a 20-percent
discount for domestic airline flights.
The CAB released the guidelines for Republic
Act No. 11314, also known as the Student Fare Discount Act and such was signed
by President Rodriga Duterte on April 17.
According to the CAB, the rules cover local
carriers and students enrolled in any elementary, secondary, technical or
vocation and higher educational institution, but itcdoes not cover those
enrolled in postgraduate studies, medicine,law and “informal short-term
courses” such as dancing, swimming, music, driving lessons and seminar-type
course.
The rules stated that the 20-percent discount
would be calculated from the “regular base fare” of domestic flights.
In cases of promo fares offered by an airline,
the student would have to choose between the promo rate and the regular fare
less the discount.
To avail, the student must present the
following:
Duly issued school identification card
Current, validated enrollment form
Birth Certificate
Baptismal Certificate
Latest School Records (Form 137)
Naturalization certificate
Passport
The law covers all public transportation utilities such as taxis, buses, jeepneys, vehicles for hire, tricycles, passenger trains and marine vessels.

Cebu is definitely one of the busiest
cities in the country. With lots of people bustling all over the streets and
tourists trying to fill that wanderlust in this dear queen city of the south, chances
are you might be one of those tourists. If so, you need to learn the specifics
of any tourist’s go-to mode of transport – the taxi.
White
Taxi
Metered white taxis are the most popular
and abundant in the city. They are basically everywhere in Cebu and can be
hailed traditionally on the streets. However, some taxis are using apps like
Grab Taxi to get passengers.
Rate: The flag down rate for a white taxi is ₱40 inclusive of the first 500 meters, an additional of ₱2 per minute while inside the vehicle and an additional of ₱13.50 per succeeding kilometer traveled.
Yellow
Taxi
Metered yellow taxis are not really common
within the city, as they are more popular to be parked and waiting for
passengers outside airports. They are the service cabs for passengers who
dropped off from their flights.
Rate: For yellow taxis, the flagdown rate is ₱70 inclusive of the first 500 meters, an additional of ₱4 for every 2 minutes within the vehicle and ₱4 for every succeeding 300 meters traveled.
It should be noted that yellow taxis are notoriously infamous online for overcharging and scamming passengers, especially tourists outside Cebu or the country. So before you ride these, make sure to talk with the driver about the rates and be wary with the meter. Navigating with Waze or Google Maps and doing some research about the geography about Cebu is advised too, if possible.
No matter where you are going, always be
mindful and knowledgeable with the transportation and traffic here in Cebu. In
the long run, you’ll save money and time but more importantly, your trip within
the city will be hassle-free!
The Queen city of the South never ceases to amaze as it was recently designated as one of the world’s “Creative City of Design” by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Cebu City has made clear of its goal to be included in the list of UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network (UCCN) and has bid for the nomination during the Cebu Design Week (CDW) 2019.
The city now has a global recognition of its creative industry with “Sustainable Development” at its core.
“The member cities that form part of the Network come from all continents and regions with different income levels and populations. They work together towards a common mission: placing creativity and the creative economy at the core of their urban development plans to make cities safe, resilient, inclusive and sustainable, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” – UNESCO
Creativity doesn’t only mean the aesthetics
or physical attributes of the city but the designing of a city where there’s
significant cultural heritage, a diverse and vibrant society, use of these
creative potentials and possibilities for economic development, and a safe
environment.
“Cebu has a deeply rooted and flourishing creative ecosystem and that “we deserve a place in the world’s design map.” – Josefin Hey, CDW marketing co-chair
Cebu City was hailed along with other 65 cities with a total of 246 cities in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN).
Pretty. There is no other word better to describe this new Korean self studio, the Life4Cut.
Originally from the trend-setter country of South Korea, this Instagrammable place can now be found here in the Queen City of the South.
The interior is exploding in pink, and not the pink that hurts the eyes, but that adorable shade that is just so cute. Everything it touches and surrounds just pops with positive vibes, naturally influencing the people with giddy charm, cute feels and pretty pictures.

Staycations are becoming more and more of a
thing in Cebu. Staycations give us the option of having to spend less than we
should have and at the same time still have that fun and relaxing trip we all
are yearning for.
As we all know, when planning the best
staycation experience, there are three things we need to consider: 1.) The
place you will be staying in and the accommodations it provides; 2.) How to get
there and the cost of the place; 3.) The sights and spots you can visit in that
place as additional options to your staycation trip. And this place has it all
covered.
Nordtropic Resort and Residences is a 15-minute drive from Mactan-Cebu International Airport and Mactan Island Aquarium is just a stroll away. There is also the added convenience of having many eateries and restaurants nearby you might want to check out.
Nordtropic’s very well known highlight is its infinity pool. The infinity pool gives of an expression that it is one with the sea. The pool even reaches up to 10 feet deep. The resort also has an in house café restaurant and bar.
