he goes, and sabi niya, they were looking for 10 daw.. in exchange, they would be getting a free round-trip ticket to singapore..
sabi ko, "anak, ikaw na lang.."
then after a few minutes, sabiko, "tekateka... puede rin ako diyan.."
so, we got two free tickets.. may libreng burger king brunch pa.

a big change from PAL when it was still a monopoly..

ever since ganyan na talaga ang PAL. pag overbooked, maghahanap ng volunteers then may free round trip tickets. kung walang pumatol, they add money na. parang auction/bidding ginagawa para may kumagat. if you wait long enough, may cash na din yan
