According to a CAAP (Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines) memo dated January 25, 2010, CEB aircraft can now take off both ways in the Godofredo Ramos Airport runway. In the event of unavoidable airport conditions, flights to Caticlan may still be diverted to Kalibo.
Starting March 1, 2010, CEB will gradually reintroduce its Caticlan flights into service, beginning with the transfer of four Manila-Kalibo and one Cebu-Kalibo flights to Caticlan.
The airline expects to resume full Caticlan operations by March 28, 2010, with 11 Manila-Caticlan Manila flights and 1 Cebu-Caticlan-Cebu flight daily. This gives CEB the most number of airline seats to and from Caticlan.
And when will SEAIR come back to Camiguin?

( 3.1 / 23 )Do you remember Herman's Hermits song " No milk today "?
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
(...)
This is what we sing these days on Camiguin Island. Milk is out of stock everywhere! And cornflakes with milkpowder for breakfast is a bit dry...
Let's hope that the milkman finds again a ferry to Camiguin.

( 3.1 / 23 )3 tectonic earthquakes have been reported on January 31.
The first quake with a magnitude of 5.5 happened at midnight southeast of General Santos. The epicentre laid only 4km deep.
The second one with a magnitude of 3.7 shook one hour later in San Carlos (Pangasinan). Its epicentre was in depth of 141km.
And the third one happened at 7:25 in the morning again southeast of General Santos. It had a depth of 198km and a magnitude of 4.8.
Only the las earthquake could be felt in and around General Santos.
None of the quakes caused any damage.
The Philippines is prone to earthquake occurrences as well as volcanic eruptions and tsunamis because of its geographic location within the Pacific Ring of Fire.

( 2.8 / 16 )The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission has imposed a two-year ban on tuna fishing on countries in the western and central Pacific region, including the Philippines, reportedly due to overfishing.
On the one hand this ban should allow the tuna to partially recover from overfishing.
On the other hand, there will be over 100'000 fishermen without work in southern Mindanao. This ban may push General Santos City into deep social problems. General Santos City is the Philippines tuna capital.

( 3.2 / 17 )As there is no recent ferry accident reported, we would like to show you, what we saw on December 27, 2009.
Sorry, the ferry is full! Oh no, we have a ticket and have to go now!
Pinoys do not know the word IMPOSSIBLE.
And a last lift!
Done! Who said, that the ferry was full?
PS: We took another ferry...

( 2.9 / 9 )The Philippines Bureau of Immigration has introduced a new disembarkation card for international passengers.
The new card has was introduced on January 1st, 2010 and is called A/D card (arrival/departure card).
It seems, that this new card is machine-readable.
It also seems that not all airlines have yet received the new cards. Passengers of these airlines get the new card at NAIA, the International Airport of Manila.
As soon as we can get one of these new cards, we will publish a picture.
Meanwhile we have updated our visa page and publish the new visa extension fees.

( 2.8 / 20 )PHIVOLCS today lowered Mayon's Alert from Alert Level 3 to Alert Level 2.
Main reasons are:
The lack of remarkable seismic events, such as harmonic tremors, suggests no active transport of magma to shallow levels.
The Mayon volcano returns to a deflated state, suggesting that no pressure build-up has taken place and reflect a general static condition of residual magma in the volcanic pipe and beneath the crater.
The decrease in concentration of SO2 gas emission indicates that no active magma intrusion is occurring beneath the volcanic edifice.
No ash ejections were observed since 29 December 2009. Steam emission was most of the time weak to moderate and white in color indicating considerable decrease in energy. Crater glow remained visible to the naked eye at night possibly due to the still-hot residual magma beneath the crater.
We therefore terminate our updates of Mayon volcano until new activity is reported.
