When I was in Manila last week, I chanced upon a stack of magazines. I was getting bored playing Sudoku so I decided to read the magazines - a couple FHMs and Cosmos, I guess.
While browsing the pages, I came across one ad for
Cebu Pacific. I could not help but take a picture of the ad. Take a look at what it says:
Be fashionably on time.
Here's what's in: being on time.
This is the new Filipino time. And it's called Cebu Pacific Time.
Cebu Pacific.
The New Filipino time.
I could not help but laugh at this one. I mean, Cebu Pacific? On time? You must be kidding me. Ever since I have been flying Cebu Pacific, I have never experienced being on-time. They were at least one hour to a high of four hours late! Just imagine what you would be doing during those long hours!
And they call it the new Filipino time? Please. Give me a break.

at least hindi na amoy ta* ang kanilang cabin with their new airbus fleets...i remember once, sabi ng isang pasaherong pa-sosyal sa stewardess: "Miss, naglilinis ba kayo ng plane nyo? Amoy ta*!" Sabay upo at tanggal ng shoes at itinaas ang paa sa may wall (kasi nasa front row sya!). I dunno kung kung plane ang mabaho o yung paa nya. Bwahahaha! |

They did! I rode one of their old planes going to Dumaguete a few years back. But your olfactory nerves get desensitized after. Then you smell your clothes after unboarding the plane. Hehe. |

Hmm I only rode cebu pacific twice and I hated it. The landing was not very smooth that I had a headache for the whole day after deplaning... It was also delayed but just about 20minutes. |

i boarded a Cebu Pacific plane last year (October) and I must say, they do not follow their "on-time" schedules..our flight has been delayed for 2 hours, twice!! so seeing that advertisement from Cebu Pacific also makes me laugh out loud too!! hehehe.. |

They used to have that tagline in their website. A couple of months ago, napansin ko na wala na. Bakit kaya? XD |
