I dont think need mo pa umabot ng SCTex kasi sa san fernando ka eexit.

Di ako familiar sa name ng places alam ko lang puntahan, so wait na lang sa reply ng mas nakakaalam. hehehe

*siacojin: Taking SCTEx when going to Olongapo/Subic is recommended to avoid the traffic-laden areas on the old road.

*nayki: You may take SCTEx and exit at Subic, enter SBMA, exit it at the northernmost gate (I think) or maybe at the Olongapo gate, then proceed northwards to Iba. Or exit SCTEx at Dinalupihan, then follow the old road to Iba.

Hehehe... sabi na nga ba that I'm missing something. It's been a while since nakapunta ako that far ng nlex wala pang SCTex nun.

*TS: see, I told you to wait sa reply ng mas may kabisado. hahaha...

Hello all! Thank you for the replies! Nakarating na ako dun sa Iba, Zambales last January 28. I took NLEX->SCTEX->SBMA->National road. Thanks to SCTEX the 5 hours travel was cut to 3 Hours.

From NLEX take SCTEX via Subic and from SBMA take the Kalaklan Gate then Turn Left...

At night though, when there's no traffic, taking the old NLEX - San Fernando - Dinalupihan - Subic route is pretty fast and comparable to going the SCTEX route during the day time.

You can feel the advantage of SCTEX at daytime travel (to bypass highly populated cities/towns)...

Pero in night time, old routes are preferred as traffic seems to lessen and also roadside assistance is available should you encounter any problem...

true...im from olongapo...but you have to be careful also kci madaming trikes and bicyles na walang tail lights or reflectors sa kalsada and sometimes mga animals na tumatawid. dami ko nang experience sa ganya bigla ka na lang bubulagain.

That's a precaution one has to take whenever they drive on any provincial road. Malaking bagay that they widened the highway from Dinalupihan to near Subic to 4 lanes.
