Mindanao is my native land. This is where I belong, feel secure and am at peace. To be in Mindanao is to feel the embrace of a warm, soft blanket.

Mindanaoan - Blogging the REAL Mindanao!


Mindanaoan is off to yet another fun adventure! Mindanaoan will be off to the Queen City of the South – Cebu City - today to take part in this year’s colorful Sinulog 2010 or what’s dubbed as the Sinulog at 30.

Here’s hoping that I will have a safe trip today via Philippine Airlines (Mindanaoan’s favorite airline as of late). Nay, make that a trip that will push through! I’m a bit worried because it’s been rainy the past few days and I heard about the Cebu Pacific Air passengers who got stranded at the CDO airport. Hundreds of passengers who were supposed to be bound for Cebu were reportedly left to fend for themselves as the airline refused to provide food and accommodation because, according to the Cebu Pacific Airlines management, they weren’t obliged to provide anything especially if the flight got canceled due to force majeur. Ouch!

Anyways, I hope that my flight will be safe and smooth. I have lots of activities lined up in Cebu City and I cannot wait to join in the Sinulog 2010 festivities!

Will you be in Cebu City as well? Let me know :)

And for my Cebuano readers — if you have any tips for me (where to go, what to do, what to buy, where to eat etc) please, please feel free to share them! :)

By the way, for those of you who want to check out what you can do during the Sinulog Festival 2010, here’s a copy of the Sinulog 2010 schedule of activities: (click on the image for a larger view)

Cebu City here I come!

Kaamulan Dancers (BukidnonOnline.com)The Province of Bukidnon found in Mindanao, Philippines takes the spotlight in the current issue of the inflight magazine of Cebu Pacific Air, “Smile.” The article about Bukidnon entitled “Tribal Pursuits” centers on the province’s largest annual festival called the Kaamulan Festival. The Kaamulan festival is the annual gathering of Bukidnon’s 7 hill tribes.

For more information and for the complete schedule of activities for this year’s Kaamulan 2009 Festival, check this page.

Going back to the article found in Cebu Pacific’s magazine, I would just like to personally thank the writer, Irwin. I met him last year during the Kaamulan Festival 2008 celebration in Bukidnon. He was very pleasant and friendly. Salamat, Irwin! Thanks for mentioning Bukidnon Online, too ;)   The article is really great and I’m sure it’ll help boost tourism efforts for the Province of Bukidnon. Cheers!

Living Life To The Full” – this is what Club South Pacific Philippines promises its members and guests. And just by the looks of this multi-million, visually attractive project in Gitagum, Misamis Oriental, Mindanao, Philippines, you know that it’s all set to deliver.

I had the utmost privilege to meet and chat with Mr. Shinnosuke Saito, the Founder and Chairman of Club South Pacific, a few days ago. Mr. Saito, who’s the first Japanese citizen to be inducted in the USPGA as a golf professional (amazing, eh?), was obviously so thrilled to talk about the project that I also couldn’t help but be very passionate and excited about Club South Pacific myself. In fact, I look forward to the day when I could bring my trusty Nikon camera and just take a ton of photos of the place or indulge on a commanding view of the sunset from the dolphin-like clubhouse. That’ll be a treat for sure.

club-south-pacific (www.mindanaoan.com)Club South Pacific, located just 15 minutes away from the New Laguindingan International Airport and roughly half an hour away from Cagayan de Oro City, will feature a five star resort-hotel with 120 luxury suites, a 350-room luxury condominium-hotel (condotel) and perhaps the much-awaited icing on the cake – a marina.

Construction of this mega complex will be in two phases.

Phase one, which is estimated to be completed in the year 2011, encompasses 120 luxury suites with generous dimensions of 40 square meters, 60 square meters and 80 square meters as well as facilities to suit just about every leisure seeker’s fancy – spa, scuba diving services (Aqua Sports facility), fishing facilities, gym, swimming pools, restaurant, coffee shop and conference/function halls.

Phase two, on the other hand, covers 350 oversized hotel rooms and condominium residences that include one, two and three bedroom condotels as well as lavish penthouses. Additional amenities such as conference rooms, function halls, business centers and music rooms will be included under phase two. And of course, the spotlight will be on the marina – which will cater to people who love to cruise or just spend a lazy day on a small boat and try to catch fish.

As of now, CSP Philippines is offering various membership packages to interested parties.

Individual membership will only cost Php150,000.00. This is the JOINING FEE and MEMBERSHIP IS GOOD FOR A LIFETIME. That’s roughly US $3,300.00 or 4,479,900 KRW (South Korean Won) Quite a steal, if you ask me, especially since the amount will increase fast as soon as construction begins THIS YEAR. Individual membership is also transferable and one membership card will be issued to a nominated member.

Interested to be a member of Club South Pacific yet?

And to sweeten the pie, Club South Pacific Philippines is even offering a special DEFERRED PAYMENT SCHEME. All you need to shell out is a 30% downpayment of P45,000.00 (US $780.00 or 1,343,970 KRW) and the balance can be paid in a period of 30 months (P3,500.00 per month) The monthly installments are interest free. Spot cash payors will enjoy a whopping 20 percent discount (this is applicable to the first 100 applicants only). Exactly what do you get out of an individual membership? You can use the swimming pool for free, use the state of the art fitness gym for free, you get two free nights on accommodation per year, a generous 50% discount on accommodation for extra nights of stay, 20% discount on food and beverage as well as preferential rates on resort facilities. A very attractive offer, don’t you think so?

If you’re interested to join Club South Pacific, CONTACT ME TODAY and make a worthwhile investment!  Remember, all membership packages are GOOD FOR A LIFETIME. Mindanaoan will guide you through everything you need to know about Club South Pacific, the rules and regulations, upcoming projects and updates. Please don’t forget state your CITIZENSHIP AND LOCATION when you contact me.

There are also other membership packages such as family membership, open membership, group membership and business club membership. Each Club South Pacific membership package promises amazing perks and treats.

While Club South Pacific may be located in Gitagum, Misamis Oriental, Philippines (a resort hotel near the new airport in Northern Mindanao), it may interest you to know that you can enjoy certain privileges through CSP’s affiliate companies Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Hotels, Intercontinental Hotels, Waterfront Group of Hotels, Pryce Plaza Hotel Cagayan de Oro and Cebu Pacific Air.

So whether you’re from abroad and you want to look for a resort hotel in the Philippines that could cater to your discerning taste or if you’re a resident of the Philippines who wants to invest in a condominium residence near Cagayan de Oro City or near the new Laguindingan International Airport, you will be delighted to know more about Club South Pacific. You’ll soon discover that it’s a perfect investment in what Mr. Saito believes to be the last paradise on earth.

I did a mock reservation just a few minutes ago for a Davao to Singapore flight. For round trip tickets, I was only billed roughly P6,000. Same goes for the mock reservation I did for a Davao to Hong Kong trip. Not bad for an international trip, I must say!

This zero fare promo is valid for travel from February 1 to March 31, 2009. Do note that this is nonrefundable, and is exclusive of applicable surcharges and government taxes.

So what are you waiting for fellow Mindanaoan? Grab this opportunity now and expand your horizons!
