Hypoglycemia during flight

Context: I’m diabetic and taking insulin shots regularly. So I’m solo traveling for like the past 4 years and never had a problem with monitoring my blood sugar during my trips.

I experienced hypoglycemia and nagsstart pa lang yung engine ng eroplano that time, nararamdaman ko na yung extreme sweating and dizziness. Sobrang urgent but stayed calm, ayoko mag cause ng panicking sa loob ng airplane. Sobrang confused ko kung anong gagawin ko but I know kaya ko pa i-resist at least hanggang mag turn off yung fasten your seatbelt sign. I’m about to collapse na talaga siguro. So agad ako nagapproach kay cabin crew and pinabasa yung tinype ko sa notes ko sa phone. I really appreciate her immediate action during the situation. I ordered the regular coke and chocolate chip cookie and suddenly nag spike agad yung sugar ko. ( I can feel it in my body ).

This is btw a thank you post to cabin crew who helped me. Cebu Pacific flight DG 6759 Clark to Siargao. She wears eyeglasses, Idk her name. I appreciate your sense of urgency.

Solo Boracay: Budget-Friendly & Safe Stay Recommendations?

Hi! I’m traveling solo to Boracay this November. It’s my second time on the island. I stayed at La Carmela before with a friend and loved it for the free breakfast and convenient location.

This time, I’m traveling alone and La Carmela is not an option because of its eerie vibe we felt on our last day back then. Matatakutin talaga ako haha! Can you recommend a budget-friendly accommodation near the beach that’s in a lively area and feels safe for a scaredy gurlie like me? Would appreciate any suggestions!

Looking for tips: How do you find cheaper flights during the last week of December? ✈️

Hello, PH Travel Experts! 😊

Planning to spend the holidays in Kalibo with my family (2 adults + 1 infant), but I was honestly surprised by how expensive the airfare is already. The round-trip fare I’m seeing is around 25k+ for the three of us, which is quite a lot for a domestic flight. For those who frequently travel during the Christmas/New Year season, I’d love to hear your strategies.

Would really appreciate any actual tips or experiences from travelers who regularly book flights during the holiday rush. Thank you! 🙏

I chose not to do the Oslob Whaleshark

My itinerary was supposed to be Dumaguete - Oslob and part of that was the whaleshark watching. But then I read about the unethical practices, how the animals are fed and eventually "trapped" in the bay area, how the animals have lost their ability to search for their own food, and how this affects reproduction and could evetually lead to no more whalesharks. My heart sank. We don't deserve these gentle creatures with the way we treat them.

I went to Moaboal instead for the sardines.

I'm not sharing this to look for validation. I sharing this to encourage others to do the same.

Suggest what I can do on my free day in my Cebu trip

Hello, i have an upcoming 4D3N trip to Cebu.

my itinerary goes like this:

Day 1: City Tour Package

Day 2: look pasalubong + side quests

Days 3 & 4: Bantayan Island

For Day 2, I'm planning to have a chill day and look for some pasalubong 😊 But I'd still love to visit more places in Cebu. I'm eyeing Cebu Fun Park/Anjo's World and GoKart. Worth it ba to? Haha.

What places would you recommend? Id really appreciate any suggestions!

Thank you!
