Depende kung what time ka pupunta....the traffic would quite less in the Rizal route than the Laguna route.
Kung mas malapit ka sa Rizal e mas ok na mag-rizal route ka na. Your indicate location is Makati....I would suggest that you take the Laguna route.
Traffic would be quite bad in Calamba and Los Banos between 6-9am (kasi monday ang 22 at baka may pasok pa ang mga school). Pero kung wala ng school, then it would be smooth sailing na sa 2 towns na iyon.
Towns that you would be passing after Los Banos would be Bay (pronounce Ba-e), Victoria, Pila, and Sta. Cruz. Take all the MAIN road or By-pass road ng mga towns na iyun (only Victoria don't have a by-pass road) para hindi ka matrafic.
Then when you pass by Sta. Cruz you'd reach the arch ng Pagsanjan town. Turn left when you reach the T-intersection (simbahan ang tumbok nito). If you turn right you would be going to Luisiana and then Quezon!
After that left, the next town would be Lumban. Then Kalayaan (scenic view of Laguna de Bay near the giant dam tube), Paete (take by-pass road again), then Pakil. Meron intersection sa Pakil-Pangil area....you should go straight (turning left would make you go through Pangil town area and turning right you lead you bact to Pakil town area and labas ng Paete). Next town after Pangil would be Siniloan na.
Actually, it's the intersection of Famy-Siniloan. To reach Siniloan town you'll have to turn left at that intersection. If you turn right it would lead you to Real-Infanta, Quezon. And if you go straight naman you're going back to manila na (rizal route)...if I am not mistaken the next town (Sta Maria yata) is already the last town of Laguna....so after that its a zigzag road pababa ng Jala-jala and tanay na.
That (Siniloan) is roughly 40-60 km from Calamba. Expect about 1.5- 2 hrs drive pa from Calamba...unless matrafic.
HTH.
