*sir ponkan, saan ka ba manggagaling? kung from Iba, mga 2 hrs nasa Alaminos ka (Hundred Islands), road condition ay maayos ang daan. di mo madaanan along the way ang hundred islands, mga 5-10mins drive pa from the city proper. from Alaminos to Dagupan nasa 2 hrs din, road condition ay maayos ang daan. then Dagupan to Baguio via San Fabian/Rosario/Pugo/Marcos Hi-way, nasa 2-3 hrs din yan. road condition maayos naman last na bumiyahe kami nung Dec. happy trip and ingat sa daan...

I took this trip before and it was deretsohan from Manila - Subic (via Olongapo - Gapan road) then out at Zambales gate and went straight all the way to Pangasinan. Road conditions are generally very good save for some bridge constructions (but that was nearly two years ago when i last took the route).

You'll spend the whole day on the road though since when i left Manila at around 8-9am if i recall correctly and went straight, we got to Baguio already early in the evening. We we're only two in the vehicle so we were travelling pretty fast at that (although i got lost for some part in Pangasinan, had to backtrack a little due to bridge construction that time, and also took a longer way inside Dagupan City). If you want to pass by Hundred Islands, better to stay overnight in that area as well and continue on to Baguio the next day.

Bring food though as most of the way, you probably won't find too much palces to eat at unless you stop at a beach resort in Zambales or head straight to Alaminos for a resto. In our case, we had a late lunch (around 2pm or so) at Mc Donalds in Alaminos already.

maraming makakainan sa Iba dun sa mga beach resorts, after ng Iba air strip. dun kami kumain ng friend ko sa Palmera Garden last month, bundat naman kami sa kabusugan e, masarap pa.

roads are good from Subic to Iba. tapos na din yung bridge between castillejos and san marcelino.

then Dagupan to Baguio via San Fabian/Rosario/Pugo/Marcos Hi-way, nasa 2-3 hrs din yan. road condition maayos naman last na bumiyahe kami nung Dec. happy trip and ingat sa daan...

Siguro mas mabilis pag via Agoo.

tnx sa mga reply at advice mga sir, Pampanga ako mangagaleng, nag-start lang ako sa Zambales familiar pa kasi ako dun pero beyond nun di na, first timer ba lapit na tong trip na to ayaw namin sumabay sa Holy Week at baka matrapik

[vinj]

^Enjoy the trip. That route is a very nice drive indeed.

At least you're starting off from Pampanga and not Manila so that's already a good hour shaved off from your travel time.

*sir ponkan, suggestion lang kung walang time constraint ang road trip niyo at di naman kayo nagmamadali ay from Alaminos pwede ka rin dumiretso ng Bolinao, its less than an hour trip at marami rin magandang resort at beaches dun. before reaching Dagupan, just before CSI Mall ay may traffic light/crossing, going to the left ay shortcut na daan (Judge Jose de Venecia ext) going to Bonuan-San Fabian rd, don't miss the sign para di ka na pumasok ng Dagupan City proper else matatrapik ka. check ahead google maps for your fastest route...

Mas maganda yan. Stay overnight at Hundred Islands or Bolinao then go up to Baguio the next day. Sayang yung trip if you go straight to Baguio IMO.

[CVT]

Agree. Dahil nandoon ka na rin sa area,- stay overnight at Bolinao....

And then, very early in the morning,- go to Hundred Is., and spend half-a-day there, exploring the islands...

Then, leave mid-afternoon for Baguio....

Nice plan!
From Pampanga-zambales-alaminos malamang pagod at hindi nyo na mae-enjoy ang 100 islands.
Or stay na lang sa 100 islands for the whole night, then leave alaminos the following day.

Sayang ang experience sa 100 islands kung sisilipin nyo lang. At least during lunch nandun na kayo para makapag-island hopping pa.

[Ponkan]

gusto ko talaga mag island hopping mga sir kaso si kumander eh takot sumakay ng bangka mga sir baka may ma-suggest kayong ok na hotel to stay dun sa area ng Dagupan or malapit dun..mura, malinis na hotel saka sympre safe parking space..tnx sa mga comments po keep them coming

[monty_GTV]

*bro ponkan, along your route paglampas ng Zambales sa may Dasol, Pangasinan ay may magagandang beach din diyan, you may want to check out too. sayang naman kung di kayo makapag-island hopping sa hundered islands, i think safe naman mga bangka at saka may life vest naman na suot i hope your wife change her mind malapit kasi house ko diyan sa 100 islands kaya alam ko i don't know about hotels sa Dagupan, ang nadadaanan ko yung Regency but that might be on the expensive side, check out inns along Arellano st. para malapit sa mga resto. notable restaurants in Dagupan dagupenia, silverios, deluxe etc, maraming seafoods resto dun.para sa akin lang, tingin ko mas maganda mag overnight sa may San Fabian kesa Dagupan kaya lang since plano niyo mag-attend ng mass sa Manaoag before going to Baguio, medyo out na sa routa ninyo...

from san fabian town center proceed north then may T-junction na may sign to manaoag. from T-junction to manaoag mga 30-45 minutes. walang liko yun dirediretso lang. halfway merong Y-junction naman, san jacinto town yun, stay ka lang sa left kasi sa left ang manaoag. may gas station yata dun sa Y-junction if i remember right. manaoag is 10-15 minutes away from there. be careful on the small bridges, some of them (2 yata) may tambak yung left lane so 1 lane lang yung bridges.

going to baguio from manaoag take the pozorubio route as it's much shorter instead of going back to san fabian.
