Sending your Family and Friends to Boracay, The Cheapest way.

2 Years after I passed the board, I haven't had a chance to treat my entire family because of my sick foster father. In almost two years, I have dedicated all my salary to him and to our daily needs. Thank God, after all the blessings, I found the chance to treat them. 

I booked the plane ticket via Cebu Pacific (promo fare) almost a year ago. And since the ticket costs more than 10,000 pesos, I called to HSBC to convert such transaction into installment payment scheme. (My monthly amortization is less than 900 per month).

What I like about promo fares is that you will have the time to save for the expenses and plan for the cheapest but quality inns. Also, you will have that time to file for your leave.

Below are the expenses I have spent for a family outing held in Boracay, including 3 friends (excluding their airfare and hotel):

Few notes:

To go to bus station catering transportation to Caticlan, from La Esperanza Hotel, walk to your right. It's just few steps away.

For pasalubong, it is much cheaper in D Talipapa than in D Mall.

Free lunch was offered by Astoria. They asked for 2 hours though for their sales talk. Not bad, because the sun hurt during that time of day.

Those amount in purple font color are charged to my credit card and I called the bank to make it in installment scheme as well. 

Little patience for the lumot.

Jonah's fruit shake is a must-try.

I personally recommend La Esperanza Hotel and Villa Romero:

With all those expenses, sulit na sa happy memories:

See you again Boracay! (more pictures here)
