TACLOBAN CITY - Philippine Airlines launched its maiden Cebu-Catarman-Cebu flight on Tuesday, March 4.
PAL Regional Head Leonard Bryan Sansolis recommended Northern Samar as an alternative tourist destination with its hidden natural attractions.
The Cebu-Catarman route is the flag carrier's second destination to Catarman as it also has a direct Manila-Catarman flight. “This is not just about connecting Catarman to Cebu but opening up a world of possibility for the people of Northern Samar. From Cebu, you can seamlessly connect to other popular destinations such as Boracay, Clark, Coron, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Siargao, and Manila, complementing our days of operations there,” he said.

Cebu City Government Pushes for Completion of Cebu City Medical CenterThe Cebu City Government is accelerating the completion of the unfinished Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC), particularly the interior portions of the final three to six floors. After a new contractor was awarded the project, Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia announced that the re-bidding process had reached the post-qualification stage. Although the winning bidder will be revealed next week, Garcia expressed his commitment to holding a groundbreaking ceremony at the end of February to demonstrate the city's seriousness in finishing the hospital. \\The mayor also plans to inaugurate each completed floor for public use. The project faced delays due to contract termination with the previous contractor in 2022. The city government has saved around P700 million from the terminated contract, which will be used to complete the remaining work. However, the City Council raised concerns regarding the re-bidding process due to incomplete plans and documents. Garcia urged the council to approve the tripartite agreement for the allocation of P205 million from private donors for the final three to six floors, currently managed by the Cebu Medical Society (CMS). Garcia requested the CMS to consider transferring the funds to the city government for efficient project management.
