For the Records:

1.) Again, I was the second to the last person who checked in at the counter. I dont have any time problem since I left my place 3:30 pm, no traffic along my way and my flight is 4:45pm. On my mind, I still have a lot of time. I was almost running and rushing to get on board.

2.) According to the Cebu Pacific ground crews, check in time is one hour before the scheduled flight.

3.) We arrived at Davao International Airport through Cebu Pacific 25 minutes ahead of time. Calculating back, they must have closed their counters 25 minutes before the final boarding. Supposedly (and usually) we will be in Davao by 5:30 pm, but we arrived around 5:00pm. This was all the reason why im running and rushing at the terminal...again.

4.) Dont follow what I did. This was the second time it happened to me. I am fortunate enough i wasn't denied to get on board. The last time, I was the last person to checked-in, and the last person to enter the plane before the ladder was pulled down and the door was closed. I should change my time calculations next time.
