  • Nung nagcheck-in ako sa immigration last week, naka-lusot yung dala kong goldilocks polvoron. Nilabas at na-inspection pa nga ng customs agent pero ok lang sa kanya. Last year hindi pinayagan, pero siguro swertehan lang kung mahigpit or relax lang y…

  • How about the reverse - Australia to Manila . . . I've read in the news na mas murang bumili ng flights outside Australia. Sa mga umuuwi papunta ng pinas, have you ever tried booking a flight thru a filipino travel agency? Anung feedback?
