Blast from the Past
Last year, the challenge brought the teams on a week-long backpacking trip around the Philippines.
They took on daring and colorful adventures, from exploring the Puerto Princesa Underground River and eating crocodile sisig in Davao, to haggling the price for jetskiing in Boracay.
Silliman University students Sesinando “Sesi” Quilao, Jr., Patrik Norouzi and So Myeong Lee of Team Crimson bagged the grand prize, accomplishing over 100 fun activities with approximately Php20,000 in savings.
“The world outside the four walls of a classroom can teach so many life lessons, and the passion for travel, once ignited, can lead to a lot of wonderful discoveries. We are very excited to watch this year’s video entries for our biggest Juan for Fun yet,” said Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Distribution Candice Iyog.
