Review of Joy Bus: The Deluxe Coach of Genesis Transport, Inc.

During my trip to Baguio, last March 2, 2013, Jomar and I (as recommended by friends) decided to try the Joy Bus of Genesis. We went to the bus terminal the day before to make sure we have a ticket going to Baguio and asked for the cell phone number of the person to contact in Baguio so that we could reserve our returning ticket. Reservation Number in Baguio 0906-591-6011 . She doesn't reply though.

I've been to Baguio a couple of times and have shared my experiences in this blog ( Baguio-Bontoc Adventure and Places to Visit in Baguio ).

Last February 22-23, 2013, +Jomar  and I went to the Queen City of the South, Cebu for a Google Apps Seminar-Workshop organized by  +GDG Cebu . Day 1 - Training & AA Due to bad weather, our flight was delayed from Manila, but I am so thankful that it didn't get cancelled. We arrived in Cebu at around 6:30 PM. We got a cab and head to Robes Pension House only to find out that no room is available for early check-in. We walked towards the direction of Cebu Normal University (event venue) and saw a few more pension houses. We decided to check-in at Skypark Pension House. They have clean rooms, clean bathroom, and accommodating staff. I was delighted with the price I paid. After around 15 minutes of arranging our stuff, Jomar and I headed to CNU for the whole day training.
