Maraming salamat for sharing the good news, RestlessHearts. This is significantly different and important enough we have moved it into its own thread.

SHOWER!!!

I will certainly miss complaining about the old Mabuhay Lounge :(:(

This renovated version looks spiffy! The mini-theater looks great (I like the vintage plane background), and the ham station+expanded buffet is an improvement from the drab selections they had before. Hopefully they also expanded the floor space. My only grievance (so far) is that there is only a single shower in their main hub! Can't wait to try it out in a couple of weeks though... ^

Is that you, romantic_guy08 of SkyscraperCity? :D

While we now know the international lounge was renovated, earlier in the year the domestic lounge was renovated as well. I wonder if there are any new photos of the domestic lounge somewhere.

More photos!

Love that huge photo in the background of the 3rd photo.

OMG there's a SHOWER??!! Totally missed that!

:D

I was there last week... and its still the same Domestic Lounge.. though I think the food choices somewhat improved... :)

The domestic lounge is small, cramped (during peak hours), and claustrophobic! Hopefully they renovated it soon too... Shame to not have at least a decent lounge in the hub airport...

I think they eventually will... My guess is that they are just doing it one at a time... now that the international lounge has been renovated, the domestic lounge may follow soon...

I hope they construct a lounge in T3 as well considering that majority of the domestic ops are there c/o 2P Express... though 2P is a hybrid-LCC, they did say that they wanted uniformity in service..
