Ano ba mga requirements pg car
Grabe the worst ferry ever… Nag travel pa ako from butuan to surigao para lang maka tawid sa leyte, pagdating ko sa office nila ang sabi 6pm ang biyahe or 8pm yan na ang daw ang pinaka matagal but the reality lahpas na ng 1am naka biyahe…grabe naman kayo ni compensation sa mga pasahero nyo sa delays “wala”. Tipid pasa electric fan, grabe nagsisi talaga ako na sa inyo ako naka pag booking. Hoping sana na e consider nyo din ang mga pasahero nyo..kung oras, oras talaga…kaya kayo jan if you planning to travel from lipata to liloan…mag isip isip na kayo kung sa Montenegro kayo sasakay.
