1st TravelBook.ph Blogger Affiliate Get Together

Last October 29, I had the chance to attend the 1st TravelBook.ph Blogger Affiliate Get Together at The Legend Villas in Mandaluyong City. Around 30 bloggers spend the morning and lunch getting to know each other, playing games and touring The Legend Villas. It was a very fun activity.

It’s nice to meet other travel bloggers in the flesh like The Wander Dan, Mr Pogi Tips, among others. There are a lot of give-away from sponsors, raffle, and of course, TravelBook.ph gave us some things to look forward to as Blogger Affiliates. They also gave us an idea on how the company started and some of their most recent activities like the recent tour to Caramoan.

I guess the highlight of the activity is the tour of The Legend Villas. They showed us the different rooms, function halls, pool area and several rooms for many corporate events. Truly, it was a meaningful and productive morning spent. Not to mention that we got a taste of the different food available at The Legend Villas.

This event would not be made possible without our generous sponsors: The Legend Villas, Lola Maria Restaurant, Get Go PH, Thumbprints Trading Inc., PhotoBook Worldwide, Climb Central Manila, Ortius International Inc., LifeKit, Zalora Philippines, Vivo Lumio Your To-Go Kit, and Pisig Ad Network.

TravelBook.ph is the fastest growing Online Travel Agency (OTA) in the Philippines which boasts more than 2,700 hotel listings all over the country.

TravelBook Philippines Get Together At The Legend Villas

TravelBook.ph’s Affiliate Program started last June 2016 with the primary objective of giving its blogger affiliates the opportunity to earn commission through confirmed bookings with the use of different promotional materials on their websites.

Get Together The Legend Villas

Now, with a growing number of 800++ members, the program continues to widen its network of blogger affiliates across the country with various initiatives such as Blogger Getaways, staycations, online blogger contests, trainings and seminars.

Over the past months, TravelBook.ph Blogger Affiliate Program continues to support its promise to not just help bloggers earn, but to bring them to different Philippine destinations such as our latest Blogger Getaway in Caramoan wherein 15 bloggers joined us for four (4) days of fun and adventure. We also make sure that our Blogger Affiliates are recognized and are learning as well, as we launched our Monthly Top Affiliate starting last September and our bi-weekly trainings and seminars.

GV Florida Route

GV Florida Transport, Inc is a bus company based in Manila that has route to Northern Luzon. It’s formerly known as Florida Liner. It was founded in 1970 by Virgilio Florida Sr.

I’ve always wanted to explore Northern Luzon by bus. Hopefully, one of these days I would ride the GV Florida Transport bus and would travel to their farthese destinations like Santa Ana, Cagayan or Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte. I would probably visit my relatives in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan as well.

From GV Florida’s station in Sampaloc, Manila it’s about 15.5 hours to Santa Ana, Cagayan. The fare is P750 on their De Luxe bus. From the same station in Sampaloc, if I would travel by bus to Pagudpud for example, it will be 12 hours travel time and will cost P700. I hope to have a travel buddy soon. It will be nicer to travel with a buddy.
