More than one of us has posted here, and from personal experience with PAL, that you do NOT deplane in Vancouver to clear customs and get back on the plane. While you are allowed off the plane while there, you must remain in the prescribed Gate area.

Thanks trusmile . How was the flight ?

iI wonder how many of them are 1st time immigrats LOL I think some political connections take up all the seats,,,,its just like the free hospitals in the phils,,,,the rich and friends and families of the doctors are the patients,,,,,,,,,the poor must go to the hospital that wants paid up front.,,,, Just imagine a new immigrant just got thier working visa for canada salary 60,000/month,,,,,gee im going to wait 2 months to go so i can save 16,000 pesos,,,,, Most people on the spousal plan order tickets like there was a death in the family

didn't know about how free hospitals here work like that.. political connections.. the only time i had advantage was when i got married, took only a week after marriage for me to get an nso marriage cert because my uncle is working in the city hall, others i heard were waiting months before they're able to get one..

been spending the day finding a good deal on ticket, i only have 39k pesos in cash allotted for that, been controlling myself not to use my credit card. quit my permanent job since feb, never thought the process will take this long. :

Such a shame, but ive never been into any of the beaches here.

I can't remember exactly where but my Tita's house is maybe a 10 minute drive from the big cemetery. She lives right on the beach.

Hard to tell where it is.. So many beaches in batangas. just got home from the festival... End up ith a big tummy..
