Our warm Welcome with a Smile
December is truly the merriest month for Filipinos the world over. As early as July, our overseas kababayans book their flights so that they can spend Christmas in Manila. After all, it is the season to be with family and friends, rejoicing in the blessings of the yuletide season.
We are delighted to bring you a wonderful mix of stories to appeal to every side of you. If you’ve harbored dreams of satisfying your wanderlust, turn to page 99. Have Job, Will Travel tells of four Pinoys who enjoy the perks of careers that take them places.
For the altruistic heart, Cause and Effect (page 40) is an inspiring piece on six Filipinos who are walking the talk, changing the world, one Pinoy at a time. Let their stories move you to either support their causes or pave the way for your own purposeful journey.
For your inner party-phile, our cover story, Cheers to the New Year (page 53), takes you to the best bars in which to ring in 2010 in the star cities Cebu Pacific Airways flies to: Osaka, Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta and Singapore. We know your appetite will be whet by the private dining establishments in Hong Kong, as Karen Fong talks Kitchen Confidential on page 84.
Even the hardiest party animal feels the need to hibernate from all the action. If this is your cup of tea, Away from it All (page 108) is Lester V Ledesma’s personal train journey from Bangkok to the ancient cities of Thailand. And if you prefer colder climes, let it snow! Ross Wallace shows you why there’s Snow Place Like Seoul (page 64).
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your loyal patronage of Cebu Pacific in 2009. We’d be delighted to have you onboard in 2010.
Have a blessed Christmas and an abundant new year!
Lance Gokongwei
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
