SEAIR (South East Asian Airlines) top executives visited Marinduque last week for talks with local and airport officials to finalize plans for Marinduque inclusion in their "paradise to paradise" destinations. Seair now flies to Boracay, Puerto Princesa and El Nido, among 17 tourist destinations in the Philippines.
If all goes well Seair will soon offer flights to Marinduque Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. (Zestair currently flies to Marinduque Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays). A visit by Seair's technical team will soon follow.
With the opening of Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa, Marinduque's inclusion in SEAIR’s Leisure Escape Packages (LEP), that caters to tour and holiday packages, mostly Boracay and Palawan bound at present, is also expected. Seair describes LEP as 'a holistic approach to travel, making its client’s holiday experiences convenient, practical and unique' in partnership with luxury resorts.
Bellarocca Island Resort and Spa hopes that the Seair flights could already be commenced by August in time for the Korean holiday season. This, apparently depends largely on the airport capability to land the Seair aircrafts.
All other airlines are actually just waiting. But all these only means one thing: IMMEDIATE REPAIR/WIDENING OF THE RUNWAY SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE CIVIL AERONAUTICS ADMINISTRATION-DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT VP NOLI DE CASTRO PROMISED LAST MONTH! FUNDS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FOR IT AND ALL IT TAKES IS A GO SIGNAL - THROUGH A MARGINAL NOTE - FROM NO LESS THAN THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES TO RELEASE THE BUDGET!
WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG ALL THIS TIME? PAGING VP NOLI AGAIN !!! OR PAGING PGMA DIRECT !!!
Or whose intercession do we need? Sta. Veronica's? (Photo above. The procession photo of Sta. Veronica was posted here by accident but I decided not to remove it. WHo knows...)

I am looking forward to have a daily flights from Manila to Marinduque. Maybe, we need the intercession Of St Jude, the patron saint for the impossible. I will add my own personal prayers for the success of this fantastic project and a boost to tourism to our island paradise. All Marinduquenos of the world, if you love your province, I call on you to raise your voices, so that this project will be completed soon.
Amen, Amen & Amen!
After reading this post, I texted Seair external PR Jingjing Romero, she said the airline company has no flight to Marinduque. I think, the negotiations have failed. Sayang
Hmm... it's true that Seair has no flight to Marinduque. And that's what we are praying for. Today, there's good news. See my today's post (after I have posted this ha), on Seair's new visit to our island a couple of days ago. Thanks.
Grabe yung travel time papuntang Marinduque. It takes 11 to 12 hours from Cavitet to Torrijos. I was in Torrijost last September 18-21, 2009.. The fare is too expensive to visit other places..i just take R&R at Poctoy White Beach Resort.
