Glaiza gently pulled the collective until they reached the height of 500m. She pushed the right pedal to move the chopper clockwise until it faced south-west direction. She then pushed the cyclic to move the chopper forward. As she was operating the control of helicopter, Rhian furtively observed her moves. "She's good in her craft", she told herself.

They were quiet while heading south-west. All they can hear was the noise of the chopper. Rhian enjoyed views from the top. They flew over Taal Lake. It was so beautiful that Rhian even gasped on its sight. Then they were flying over the island of Mindoro. It was a vast mountainous land that took them an hour and a half to cover its aviation line. She looked at her wrist watch. It's 3:30 PM.

"We will be there by 1630 hours" Glaiza said as if she can read Rhian's mind.

They flew almost an hour in the aviation line of Sulu Sea. They can see several islands left and right. Rhian was aware that islands on the left are part of Visayas while islands on the right are part of Palawan.

Glaiza pushed the collective to an altitude of 200m. They can now see the entire island of Pamalican.

Amanpulo is a luxury beach resort located in a tranquil Pamalican island, Province of Palawan. It is partly owned by foreign investors including Mr. Jae Hyun Park. The name Amanpulo was derived from two words, aman and pulo. Aman is a Sanskrit word for peace while pulo is a Tagalog word for island.

The resort can be accessed from NAIA through charter planes being operated by Soriano Group. It has its own run-way in the island.

There are villas and casitas mostly built near the shorelines. And now, SamHwa is contracted to build a 4-bedroom villas and two casitas. It has to be designed based on Arabian motif in preparation for the visit of a prince from the Middle East.

Rhian was already aware about this project two months ago as she already made a Gantt chart for this.

"Let's have an aerial inspection of the site", Rhian said.

"Yes ma'am"


They flew over the resort, "We will build two casitas there", pointing their left front side, "and a villa there", pointing the tip of the northern part of the island

Glaiza had flew in the southern part of the Philippines during her training, but she haven't seen this island upclose. She was amazed on the white beach surrounding the island.

They flew for ten minutes before Rhian decided to land. The rotor kept on moving until it decreased its speed.

The resort manager was waiting for them near the helipad. Glaiza turned off the engine, removed the aviation headset and jumped. She immediately round to Rhian's side and helped her jump off the chopper. She held her right hand until she is on the ground.
