So, the Philippines has been in a buzz these past few days since the escalation of the controversial bullet-planting (tanim bala) extortion scheme at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.
Travelers from the Philippines and abroad are alarmed. I mean, who wouldn’t be paranoid?
It’s better to be overprotective of your baggage, right? Nobody wants to fall prey to this scam. So go ahead and wrap those bags in a cocoon of plastic! Or packaging tape! Ugly? Well, no matter. It’s cheap and effective!
But for those who wish to still travel in style, and yet feel protected, these alternative backpack and luggage covers from Wanderskye Travel Covers fit the bill.
They have waterproof covers for backpacks…
And stretchable covers for roller bags…
All you have to do is dress up your luggage, shield those zippers and pockets, and voila! Your bags are bulletproof! Scratchproof and dirtproof too! Plus, they are eco-friendly compared to disposable plastics wraps. The covers are washable, reusable and durable.
But, it doesn’t end there. What makes these really fabulous is the array of unique colorful designs by Filipino artists you can choose from! Your roller bags will look boring no more!
You also wouldn’t need to worry about losing sight of your luggage rolling away on the airport conveyor belt because it will definitely stand out now!
You may order from Wanderskye Travel Covers online through their Facebook and Instagram pages. Oh and by the way, they accept personalized designs.
Backpack covers are worth Php895 (small), Php995 (medium), and Php1195 (large).
While luggage covers are at Php1195 (small), Php1395 (medium), Php1595 (large).
It may be quite pricey, but it is for sure a great investment!
