We're waiting for you guys ahead to get your visas. Our timelines are three weeks apart, so assuming CEM starts working soon, I should get our visa three weeks after you get yours. I'm getting tired of this waiting game :(

And if any of you guys are getting tickets via the PAL website, I wish you luck. I booked my family's MNL-HKG-MNL flights today, and it was hell. It took me 12 tries to get 4 tickets, plus more than an hour on hold trying to talk to a customer service rep. The whole thing started at 9am, finished 4.30pm. :eek:

In other words, if the government doesnt go into binding arbitration, (as Tagum would put it) WE ARE FOOOOOKED for a few more months. If only there was a way to send a message to these people about who they are hurting, family class included...
