Part I.
We would like to inform our dear readers that the 2 Travel Factor groups who went on tour last weekend are safe. Group 1 led by Leia Nagal with total of 6 participants "enjoyed" being stranded in Siquijor and took the time to relax. Group 2 led by Tikoy Tan with total of 32 participants were able to camp at the nearby Coron island instead of the original plan of staying at Busuanga area. Both groups were able to reach their homes in Manila safely.

Thank you for the thoughtful text messages we received during the weekend.

Part II.
Upcoming group tours (June - July) will still push-thru as scheduled:
      Pinatubo Fun Climb on June 28
      UBBE Calaguas + Surfvivor Bagasbas on July 12 - 13

Travel Factor will monitor the weather closely. In case there's a need to postpone the trip due to bad weather, we will notify all participants ONE (1) Day before the trip. However, trips will not be cancelled even if it's raining here in Manila. Trips will push-thru as long as weather condition in the target destination is good and roads are safe for travel.
