Young adventurers take on thrill-seeking travel in Cebu Pacific Juan for Fun 2016
Five teams, seven days, one exciting
adventure like no other—the Cebu Pacific Juan for Fun Backpacker Challenge 2016
promises all these and more. Now on its fifth—and biggest!—year, the annual
backpacking escapade is bringing five teams of thrill-seeking students to
exhilarating destinations—all for free.
As if the
once-in-a-lifetime escapade is not enough, this year’s Ultimate Backpackers, or
big winners, will take home the challenge’s biggest prize yet—a
Travel-All-You-Can pass. This entitles each member to as many free flights to
domestic and international short-haul destinations as they want within one
year. They will also win exciting premium travel gear from the challenge’s
partner brands.
Throughout
the challenge, the teams will have to take on as many exciting experiences and
daring discoveries within their given travel allowance worth P35,000. They can
visit the country’s renowned tourist spots including heritage sites, churches,
and parks, sample scrumptious local delicacies, and get to know the
locals.
To make the
adventure even more awesome, Cebu Pacific has tapped celebrity travel
enthusiasts as Adventure Coaches to guide and provide advice to the teams. The
list includes first-time coaches—actress, singer and blogger Saab Magalona, and
TV host and VJ Robi Domingo. They will be joined by returning coaches—musician
Champ Lui Pio, Internet star Bogart the Explorer, and travel writer Jude
Bacalso. Throughout the challenge, these celebrities will stay in touch and
cheer for their respective teams through social media.
University travel trios
Representing
Bacolod is #JFFJUANTeamPH composed
of Glenn Layola, Audrey Ramos, and John Ray Blance of La Salle Bacolod.
Partnered with Coach Robi, this team shared that they are raring to explore
more of Visayas and Mindanao. “We would like to explore wonderful beaches and
do extreme sports, like one of Asia’s longest ziplines in Lake Sebu, South
Cotabato,” said Glenn.
Hailing from
Tuguegarao, Brendan Tangan, Linus Pagulayan, and Cherson Bariuan of St. Paul
University Philippines make up #JFFTeamPablo.
With Adventure Coach Saab as their guide, these student leaders believe that
their enthusiasm to serve other people, strong friendship, and strong
personalities will lead them to victory. “Our motto is, ‘There is no certainty.
There is only adventure,’” added Linus.
Engineering
students from De La Salle University, Marie Tuason, Karlo Carranza, and
Samantha Rice are #JFFTeamPura. They
are excited to have Bogart the Explorer as their adventure coach, especially
Marie who is a true-blue Davaoeña herself. The trio said that should they win
the
Travel-All-You-Can
passes, they will visit a new destination every two weeks. “We’ve already made
a bucket list which includes Siargao, Palawan, Tawi-Tawi and Boracay because of
their magnificent beaches, Bohol, because we want to see the Chocolate Hills,
and Naga City because of its rich Philippine historical sites,” shared
Samantha.
Patricia
Quintero, April Baldovino, and Gian Nicdao of University of the
Philippines-Manila are #JFFTeamTAG.
Throughout their seven days of adventure, they vow to always have fun, be in
the moment, and do their best to be the ultimate champs, with the help of their
adventure coach, Champ. Their ideal itinerary should they win the ultimate
prize? “Breakfast in Cebu (let’s face it: lechon is the way to go!), have lunch
in Palawan (for some seafood and vitamin sea), head to Bohol to burn all the
food we ate, and cap the day in Boracay,” added Patricia.
#JFFTeamWork is composed of Serge Calumpong of Ateneo de
Davao, April Nacion of University of Southeastern Philippines, and Jaysson
Presores of the University of Mindanao. They are excited to be partnered with
adventure coach and fellow Bisaya, Jude. Close since they were in high school,
the trio said joining Juan for Fun would be an exciting adventure and an
ultimate test of friendship. “We know that there will be no dull moments when
we are together,” shared April. “We would do our best to encourage one another
and, of course, mag-lingaw-lingaw pag-ayo
(enjoy everything)!”
