Awesome trip report. I didn't know that Cebu Pacific has a direct flight flight from Hong Kong to Kalibo/Boracay. Too bad it was cancelled. Do you know why Cebu Pacific cancelled the direct flight? Or is it dependent on passenger load?
I have just placed the Philippines on my bucket list, thanks to your terrific report. Gorgeous pictures! I work with many people from the Phillippines. You are right; they are sweet, thoughtful and very friendly folks!

Excellent trip report. Just added El Nido to my list of must-visit places for the next trip. Puerto Galera is already on that list - didn't quite make it there during my first trip.
I might have to disagree with you a bit regarding Boracay - it is still a beautiful place as long as you stay far enough away from Dmall. Might also be a question of seasons - I was there in late March and the weather was absolutely perfect.
BTW, would Puerto Galera or El Nido be good place to actually learn to dive ? Or would it be safer to know what I am doing before trying to dive there?

Hey there,
I agree with you and I will give Boracay another chance in the right season. That typhoon made me bitter about it
For diving, I would head to Puerto Galera. People there just dive (that's the only reason why the place exists), so they will set your mood right. Many good operators, but I feel like suggesting Blue Ribbon Divers: decent resort, decent food, right prices, good instructors, good equipment. Regardless, ou will have a blast!

I believe Philippine Airlines will have a twice weekly flight between HKG-KLO starting in September.

I do not know the reason why... I assume load factors though... It seemed a pretty good bet, too bad...
