In partnership with Skyjet Airlines, Nathaniel Castro Productions
produced an advertisement entitled “Hanggang Saan Ka Kayang
Dalhin ng Free Time mo?” that featured the new direct flight
that now connects Manila and Camiguin—an island province
located in Bohol Sea that is part of the Northern Mindanao
Region.
The island’s peaceful atmosphere, its untouched environment,
and its relatively ideal size for exploration make it the perfect
vacation spot for tourists who want the perfect getaway from
the stresses of reality, or for those who simply want to get
adventurous and explore the island’s beauty. And for the first
time after years, travel time to the mentioned vacation spot in
the Philippines is finally made shorter. Thanks to the new direct
flight line, vacationers wanting to get a taste of Camiguin no
longer have to worry about the long hours of travel when they
consider travelling there.
NEW CAMIGUIN
TOURISM AD
SHOWS HOW STUDENTS CAN
MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR
FREE TIME
By Nikki Meneses
Going back to the different social media
trends that went viral, one would likely
recall the famous challenge where
students made the most out of their
vacant period by going to different
vacation spots such as beaches, resorts,
and other places. Many others joined the
bandwagon and did their best to be extra
with their posts, going as far as stepping
up the social media challenge by taking
social media-worthy photos abroad, still
proudly sporting their school uniforms.
This eventually became the inspiration
for the storyboard of the airline's new
advertisement, making it the ultimate
#squadgoals for every barkada out there
wanting to spend their free time together.
In addition, the video was patterned to
the mentioned social media trend to show
how quick it is now for tourists to reach
the beloved travel destination, making
it easy even for students to utilize their
vacant period in visiting Camiguin.
Despite the limited people and resources
available for shooting the video, the
production team behind the airline’s new
advertisement still managed to make the
shoot as creative as possible. Nathaniel
Castro is the owner and founder of the
stated film production. During the shoot,
he was the director, drone operator,
storyboard creator, and the cameraman,
all-in-one for the production team. The
rest of the production team members also
lent a hand in the creation of this famous
advertisement. They became the actors
for the two-day shoot, showcasing some
of the breathtaking locations in Camiguin.
