Cebu Pacific has brought back its signature Piso Sale: from September 8 to 10, travellers can book one-way base fares from PHP 1, exclusive of fees and surcharges, for travel between January 1 and March 31, 2027. The sale covers the carrier's full network of 35 domestic and 26 international destinations, Bilyonaryo reported on September 8.
The timing is deliberate. The seat sale lands on the 9.9 shopping festival and opens bookings for the post-holiday quarter, when load factors traditionally dip. For Filipino travellers it is the cheapest window of the year to lock in New Year and Holy Week-adjacent trips. For Indian readers, the interesting angle is connectivity: Cebu Pacific links Singapore with Manila, Cebu, Clark and Iloilo, and Singapore remains the easiest two-hop bridge between India and the Philippines.

What does the Piso Sale include?
| Detail | Terms |
|---|---|
| Booking window | September 8-10, 2026 |
| Travel period | January 1 to March 31, 2027 |
| Lead fare | PHP 1 one-way base fare, fees and surcharges extra |
| Network | 35 domestic + 26 international destinations |
| Booking channel | cebupacificair.com; cards and e-wallets accepted |
The PHP 1 figure is the base fare before taxes, fees and add-ons, so the final checkout price will be higher. Seats at the lead fare are capacity-controlled on each flight, which means popular dates sell through within hours.
Which destinations should travellers look at?
Domestically, the airline is pushing Negros island pairs: Bacolod for heritage architecture and food culture, and Dumaguete for heritage, diving access and onward hops to Apo Island and Siquijor. Both sit in the best weather window for the Philippines, since the January-March travel period falls in the dry northeast monsoon.
Internationally, Singapore is the headline act, served from four hubs: Manila, Cebu, Clark and Iloilo. Notably, the Iloilo-Singapore service resumes in October 2026, restoring a direct link for Western Visayas travellers. Before costing the trip, Indians should read what a Philippines trip costs from India, since the piso fare is only the seat component.
How do you actually snag a P1 fare?
- Book in the first hours. The sale runs three days but the P1 buckets on peak dates go first.
- Fly midweek. Tuesday and Wednesday departures hold promo inventory longest.
- Compare the all-in price. Add baggage, seat selection and meals before comparing with full-service rivals; the gap narrows fast with add-ons.
- Pay with e-wallets or cards. The airline accepts credit, debit and e-wallet payments for fares and add-ons.
A final practical note: the January-to-March travel window is the Philippines' dry season on the eastern seaboard, but it is also when Manila and Cebu hotels price up for the post-Christmas peak. Lock accommodation with free cancellation alongside the piso fare, and the combined saving survives even after the full-service comparison. Promo fares are non-refundable as a rule, so only book dates you can definitely fly.
