Clicked on the PAL site and got a pop up message that says they are cancelling flights to and from Davao due to a Cebu Pacific Airlines flight overshooting the runway at Davao Airport.

To handle the passengers they are switching to wide body aircraft for its General Santos-Manila flights.

Apparently Davao will reopen tonight at 8pm (so presumably is has already reopened) and PAL flights will resume from there.

It was closed on Sunday June 2nd at 7pm. It affected 9 PAL flights due to the runway being obstructed.
will this affect steph man, he would be due to leave there within 48 hours,,,,just another hurdle for her

That's what I was wondering. He may have had to go to General Santos for one of the re-routed flights. If so the spirits are truly making things difficult...

I just called Cathay and inquired about the first time immigrant fare thing. I was quoted 38k+ pesos plus $20 service fee for Manila-Toronto, you'll have to go to their office in Makati to avail. Not much of a difference from the one I got directly from their website :p
