Exploring Philippines 57 - Busuanga, Palawan (Post 13 - Busuanga Airport)

The time came when we had to leave Coron. After a couple of days of stay, it felt like there's more to do and there could be more fun on this island. But our time was up.

After coming down from Mt. Tapyas and eating our breakfast, by 8 in the morning we were already set to leave towards the Busuanga Airport. We were scheduled to ride the plane before 12 noon and it took us almost an hour from the town of Coron to the Busuanga airport.

Since we arrived early, he had ample time for some photo taking activities and as we patiently wait for our ride, we were told that our plane will be late for some time. The reason behind the delayed arrival of our place was the visit of then president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to Coron.

At first, we were a bit puzzled because there was a sudden influx of military men securing the landing area of the Busuanga airport. We don't have any idea about the arrival of pGMA and only when she stepped out of the plane turned the earlier rumors to be true. It was my first time seeing her, as to most of the rest of the passengers inside the terminal that day. As she made her way towards another waiting smaller plane that will bring her to a destination in a beach resort in Coron, she looked short especially when she passed under the wing of the plane. I really can't imagine that she was really that small in person.

Anyway, as other passengers tried to catch a glimpse of her, she waved to the eager crowd the moment she stepped down from the plane. And as she made her way towards another smaller plane, some people took noticed that she was already wearing her beach suit and was all set to enjoy the waters of Coron. 

After pGMA left, the scenario at the airport went back to normal but we had another celebrity stepping out of the plane. It was no less than senator Loren Legarda. She took a ride at a commercial plane and as she passed by the waiting area to where we were seated, I just can't help admiring her because she's still gorgeous despite her age.

Well, so much for the dignitaries that day. Some minutes after 11 in the morning, we were already instructed to queue and we followed a line towards the waiting plane.

Inside the plane, we were greeted by beautiful stewardess. Jas was more friendly and all smiles in entertaining the passengers while Eunice was a bit shy and reserved. I remembered that each time I attempted to take a picture of Eunice, she would hide from my camera while Jas was more than eager and always ready to flash her smile. 

The moment we reached Manila, eventually, Eunice agreed for a souvenir shot with me. Hehe.
