Cebu Pacific Further Expands VisMin Network With Five New Routes

Cebu Pacific adds five new routes to its inter-regional network, connecting more islands from Mindanao to Visayas to the rest of the archipelago.

The new routes stem from requests from stakeholders, particularly in Mindanao, to improve connectivity of key cities.
