It took roughly 4 hours to fly to Boracay, a small island in the central Philippines. This was the first time that Halia and Jackson visited this island and they were both excited by the articles and photos they had seen. In fact, this was their first visit to the Philippines altogether.
As they left the airport to head to their hotel, they were immediately swamped by taxi drivers wanting to get their business.
"Hello, sir, where are you going?"
"Do you need help with your luggage, let me help you."
However, Jackson had booked a room at a 5-star resort and they had arranged a driver to pick them up, so he politely declined their offers.
The weather was hot and humid on the island. When the couple left China, it had just started heading into summer but the temperatures never got this hot. It was so hot that, even though they had just stepped out of the air-conditioned airport, they could already feel their bodies getting sticky.
