COKALIONG IN CALBAYOG, BLOOD & SWEAT IS YOUR CAPITAL TO WIN A PASSENGER'S TICKET

PASTILAN MAN!

I was in a vacation. It was an election in the whole Philippine Archipelago. I went home in Calbayog City, Samar to vote for the deserving leaders who will fulfill the goal of a progressive city in the Philippines. I can see progress in Calbayog City, in fact, I was amazed that some huge establishments will be erected in the City proper. Correct me if I am wrong, Gaisano Grand Mall, Gaisano Metro, Centro and Robinson's Place Calbayog? Well, before, we only have Eduardo MS, a reversed SM. A firefighter's nightmare public market and some night life and boogies. I am not in Calbayog as of now, and so if I am going home, I'm kinda excited to see and feel the development of the City. I am hoping that the new leaders will continue to dream and see better future. But... If I am leaving Calbayog and going to Cebu, I'm worried. You need to prepare yourself to get a Cokaliong passenger ticket for at least 1 day before the departure or reserve at least 1 month?



I arrived at the Cokaliong's ticketing office at exactly 9am. Of course, it is already opened. Then filled up a form, information of the passenger. Imagine, 9am to 10:30am, standing inside a 2x2 feet waiting room with bumper to butt wait list, sweaty armpits and overwhelmed aircon, it seemed like heater. Even if it is computerized, the encoding and printing process took time to handle. It can be faster but the process or technique, seemed to be unplanned well. They only have a blank paper. Kept asking what accommodation, and a lot of waiting passengers unable to provide complete information since they have no idea what to input in a piece of paper, maybe it can be a form like this:

===================================================
Name:_____________________
Age:_______________________
Departure Date:______________
Accommodation: _____________ 
Note: Senior Citizen and Students, photocopy of your ID back to back is required for the discount.
===================================================

(Something like that?)

And I think, they need to have the priority numbers? Or if they were done writing on that paper, they need to have that nail to hold the papers and have it organized or sequenced? Just a wild suggestion.

I went out the office as if I survived land slide, dirty like and so wet. And it feels good when survive that situation. I am planning to go home soon. For the birthday of my daughter I think. Excited for another Cokaliong adventure, in fairness, Cokaliong Shipping is one of the finest M/Vs. :-) Anyways, thank's to Bryan, he saved my ass.
