December is most Christian’s celebration month of the birth of Jesus Christ. In the Philippines, holding a party in a company, organization, group of friends or in a family is a very common Filipino tradition.

It was only a one hour travel to reach Naga City in the province of Bicol, Philippines. At Cebu Pacific, our flight became so relaxing and the cloud’s beauty surrounding us 15,000 feet above truly bring us the excitement and amazement. On the Photos: Our Cebu Pacific Flight Highlights (Terminal to Terminal) Pili Airport, Naga City At about 12 noon, we landed safely at Pili Airport in Naga City. From there onwards, it was all about exploring a city that is almost similar to the life in Manila but far more different in terms of the nature’s beauty, culture of people and varieties of tourist destinations. From Pili Airport, we rented a pedicab (bicycle with side car) going to the main highway where buses and jeepneys headed to Naga City proper are passing by. It was like reminiscing your childhood while riding on the pedicab and breathing the
