Beware of this Airland Taxi driver!

A mate of mine from Manila, had this not so good experience with a taxi driver here in Cebu.

Hi everyone, if ever you find yourself in Cebu City and in need of a cab, stay away from AirLand Taxis.

I forgot to take my luggage from the trunk of the car when we got off since we were hurrying for a client meeting. I called up the taxi dispatch (number from the receipt) within 30 mins and when they contacted the driver (on the radio), he told them straight up that the luggage is no longer there. He even recognized us since he told the dispatch, “yung tagalog?”

How he figured out that the luggage, which was in the trunk, within seconds of being asked was no longer there is beyond me, considering he was driving at the time.

I told the dispatcher that the luggage had no valuables, only my clothes since I will be in the city for a good 3 days. Still, the driver was adamant that the luggage was not in his taxi.

After the second call, I no longer bothered to pursue it since it was obvious that the driver had no plans of returning my bag.

If you happen to have a father, brother, or friend for a taxi driver plying around the streets of Cebu City, please do remind them to be good. Let’s show other Filipinos that we are not thieves.

Who’s Slowly Killing the Cebuanos?

Why you should minimize your habit of smoking, drinking, and eating too much Cebu lechon or any unhealthy foods.

1 of 4 monthly deaths in Central Visayas due to cardiovascular disease

CEBU CITY — Cardiovascular disease is a “silent killer” responsible for one of four deaths in Central Visayas every month, according to the Department of Health (DOH) 7.

DOH 7 described cardiovascular disease as a “silent killer” because it strikes anyone who is not health-conscious.

But it said the disease is highly preventable.

Dr. Juditha Tawatao of DOH 7 said the best way to prevent heart disease is to avoid all factors that may cause it.

People who smoke, are overweight, are heavy drinkers, have high cholesterol level, and have a family history of the disease are most likely to have cardiovascular disease.

A proper diet and eating nutritious food help, Tawatao said.

She said those who constantly exercise and have a health lifestyle would be least likely to have the disease.

In 2011, heart ailments and other cardiovascular diseases topped the causes of death in Cebu City.

Dr. Stella Ygona, Cebu City health officer, said there were 874 reported deaths last year caused by cardiovascular diseases.

The most common cardiovascular disease is hypertension.

Last May 19, World Hypertension Day was marked to increase awareness about the said disease.

Nice Mural Painting at Banilad

I always see this mural painting everytime I pass by this area in Banilad, near Metrobank. It’s time to take a photo of it.

Breakfast at Apurado

I had to try out Apurado. I don’t usually eat at malls because of the prices. I had to do it, so I can have something to write about in this blog. Haha.

Apurado is located at Robinson’s, in the Jones Avenue side.

Apurado is just beside the Midtown / Robinson’s parking entrance.

I ate paliya and fried bangus. This is just below P50, cheaper than the combo meal which is P59.
