From June 23 to July 1, 2015, five teams at fun-loving students will explore several destinations in the Cebu Pacific network, for eight straight days—all for free.
The teams begin their exciting escapade last night as they left for Bangkok, Thailand, after it was revealed in a press conference with the media at Sofitel Hotel, yesterday.
After taking on the vibrant Thai capital, they are free to conquer any Philippine destination of their choice! This is the first time the Juan for Fun 2015 teams have the freedom to explore any destination in the Philippines.
They should then make their way to the Juan for Fun 2015’s final destination, Davao on July 1, for the challenge’s culmination.
