FRIENDS, BEWARE. THIS IS MY ACTUAL EXPERIENCE. I, together with three of my friends were so excited to go to Singapore because of the Universal Studios and so many other nice places to see.  Below is an outline of the circumstances that happened at the NAIA Terminal 3 that never allowed this dream to become a reality. As a background, we booked our flight last February 7, 2011 through the internet with the total amount of PESOS: TWELVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY-NINE & 84/100 ONLY (P 12.689.84)  for May 27, 2011, Friday, 1330H.   We left Manila area at 10 AM to reach NAIA 3 at least 1-2 hours before our departure time of 1:30PM. But lo and behold, we were faced with a 3-hour heavy traffic from Espana to Osmena Highway ! Because of this, we arrived at NAIA 3 less than 30 minutes before departure time. Since my other friends were taking a while at the ticketing office, as we were purchasing an extra ticket for another friend who was joining us, I proceeded to paying my boarding pass and submitting my passport and ticket to the immigration officer. This was when the nightmare happened. I was asked by the officer where my ticket was and I replied that it’s in the passport I handed to him. He eventually told me to proceed to the immigration office. I asked him why I had to go there, but he didn’t explain.  Next thing I knew I was being asked to accomplish a form which I did not know anything about and what for. I just complied.  As I was doing this, I kept telling them, almost hysterically, that I will be left behind as I can see my friends being escorted to boarding already. The officer still didn’t mind my appeal and instead asked me just wait. At this point, I already felt like I violated something big, while at the same time I started to feel I won’t be able to make it to my friends to the plane. I kept asking them what I violated but I didn’t get any response. The other officer who was supposed to assist me was  still busy talking/interviewing another person. Next thing I knew my checked-in baggage was being taken out from the plane already. So much for Universal Studios!!! After about 10 minutes, I was approached by a certain Mr. Manansala (as stated in his ID pin), whom I assumed is one of the officers as he was dressed in black uniform and people around me kept addressing him as “Sir”. Mr. Manansala tried to console me by explaining that in some cases they suspect people who check in alone. I, of course, defended that I just checked in ahead, not alone, since obviously I was with my friends, whom I kept pointing at as they were being escorted to board. He apologized about what happened — that I was left behind and couldn’t anymore join my friends in Singapore —just yet! He later on told me that since I didn’t have any violation anyway, I can actually still join the next flight. All I have to do is rebook my flight by paying a penalty of PhP: ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ONLY (PhP1,500.00) and purchase another ticket for the flight difference (or whatever term they use) amounting to PhP: NINE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED ++ ONLY (PhP 9,800.00++). Now that is starting to smell really fishy and absurd. As stated earlier, my friends and I purchased our trip for a total of P12,689.00, via online booking, three months ago for four (4) people, 2-way, Mla-Sing and Sing-Mla. Now I am “courteously” being offered a ticket worth PhP 11,300++ for a single way to Singapore so I can finally join my friends. WOW!!! Hold up in another form this is! Is this another scam???!!! Mr. Manansala even asked me to wait a while since he’ll talk to the Cebu Pacific Head.  He even said that he’ll wait until I’m ready to board the next flight.  So after three hours of coming to and fro the long walkway of NAIA 3′s Cebu Pacific and to the Immigration Office, hoping to catch the next flight without additional charges, I realized no way will they just allow me to do that for free. Due to stress and hunger, I just grudgingly decided to go home, very lonely and very, very, very, upset. I was really very disappointed with everything that happened. What my friends and I ever wanted was to go to Universal Studios altogether! I did not deserve any of this and so do the other people who have been treated the way I was. I know my rights have been violated and the only way I can think of is to retaliate by sharing with you my story. If money was not an issue, I could’ve filed a case already. But money is an issue, that is why people like me wait for promos such as the one my friends and I purchased.  This is not my first time to travel using the Cebu Pacific deals. I have gained a lot of wonderful memories in those trips. Now I am not sure what will make me consider Cebu Pacific in my next travel plans. No way will I want to risk a traumatic experience similar to what happened last May 27, 2011. Hope this doesn’t happen to any of you.Michelle Anastacia A. Reyes1632-A Metrica St., Sampaloc, Manila
