Why Do I Love To Cook?

I love to make people happy and amazingly enough nothing can put a big satisfied smile on someones face after a good hearty meal. That's why I love to cook.

It's better to use a balikbayan box with a balikbayan bag.

Robinson's Handyman:

Balikbayan Box - P99

Balikbayan Bag - P450

Why?

A balikbayan box has more space.

An empty piece of luggage is already heavy. Considering that you will have a limited weight allowance, the balikbayan box is more practical.

i bought mine sa SM CDO. i think it was 1,500-2,000 ata (basta if i remember it correctly it was less than 3,000 kasi may 50% ata yun lol)... anyways go for the sale ones... hindi masyadong kalakihan coz my hubby just told me to bring my most important clothes and just the basic ones coz we'll just buy stuff here (to find out ang hirap bumili kasi of my small, petite size... mahal din pag right size talaga)... good luck sayo!!! happy trip. and if u can, i suggest to bring just one luggage para hindi ka masyadong mahirapan. though if hindi talaga pwede, just one luggage then 1 or 2 balikbayan boxes below 70lbs ata depende sa weight limit coz we're entitled to bring boxes for most airlines...

God bless

Do note that there is a weight limit of 50lbs (23KG) per bag. At hindi ang isa 30 lbs at yung isa 70lbs. You will still be charged overweight charges for the extra 20Lbs from the 70lb bag.

GO to any SM MALL and look for the brand CONCORDE.. Matibay ito at maaasahan at medyo mura :thumbs: Di ko lang alam ngayon..

I bought this when I left Manila in 2000, and I am still using this up to now, parang bago palagi.. I went to different places but matibay ito..

That's why you need the balikabayan bag para pambalot sa box. Gawa sa katya yun at may handles para madali mabuhat. Pwede pa gamitan ng locks. :)
