Manila to Morong, Bataan

[essjei55]

Hi Tsikoteers,

We are going next Sunday in Morong, Bataan. Westwind Beach Resort in particular. This is my first time going in this town. I would like to seek your advice lang po.

1. Easiest and fastest way to go there.
2. Me ibang magandang pasyalan ba dun?
3. Me dapat ba kong iwasan na daan? On-going construction, etc.

Will appreciate your response mga bossing.

Thanks,

via sbma. nlex-sctex going to subic. then go to morong gate. easiest para di ka maligaw turn left at puregold/petron junction then follow that road all the way to morong gate. if you've been to ocean adventure or zoobic safari this is the same road but instead of turning right you go straight. pass morong gate and you are already in morong bataan. malayo pa ang town mismo and resorts.

pasyalan? wala. other than the "pwede na" beach resorts (kasi wala naman andun kundi beach) there is nothing more. after the banana boat ride and banca ride to some other supposedly secluded beach there is nothing to do. beach is not good, mabato after just a few meters. this is why the boatmen entice you to go on the banca ride to a better beach.

punta ka sa nuclear power plant kung gusto mo makita kung paano sinayang ng gobyerno ang 1B$.

get sygic on your phone. last time i was there waze is useless as there is no lte signal.

Many thanks, Sir!

The sygic app can be used offline, right? Yun kasi mahirap kay waze biglaan na lang nawawalan ng signal.

Again, salamat ng marami po.

i agree with you on this, wala talga pasyalan..i guess, Morong, Bataan is very ideal if you wanted to relax and enjoy the beach...as far as ung beach mabato, san po kyo nagpunta na beach..

personally, i've been there 6 times, 4 of those nag stay kami sa Padisamorong...private house with pool..and ung beach sa harap nun is d naman po mabato...pro what i really like there is nakaka relax ung lugar which is my primary reason kung bakit gus2 ko dun...

We went there a little over a month ago. Took the NLEX-SCTEX-SBMA route. I still think it's the best route going to Morong from Manila.

Waze and my car's navigation system both suggested exiting NLEX at San Fernando, taking Olongapo-Gapan, exiting at SCTEX Dinalupihan then going through SBMA. Both added several minutes to my ETA when I insisted on not exiting at San Fernando. I've taken this alternate route before, riding as a passenger on a service van going home from Morong during a company outing. If the roads are clear and you drive fast, it's faster. But I still suggest taking NLEX all the way to the SCTEX interchange. Olongapo-Gapan is the typical provincial road, lots of things that the van had to overtake.

Since I frequented Subic/Bataan a lot before, I've computed that SCTEX will be faster than OG Road if you travel on SCTEX at an average of 107 kph to beat someone traveling on OG at an average of 60 kph.

OG is more prone to variances in travel time because of the San Fernando tollgate, Dinalupihan tollgate, stoplights in Guagua and Lubao, plus the presence of more tricycles, trucks, and buses. But it's 30 km shorter and toll is 200 pesos cheaper (one way).

You also use less fuel via OG. If I travel on SCTEX at 105-110 kph, that's about 16 km/L for me, so I use around 4.25L. If I travel on OG at an avergae of 60 kph, that's around 13 km/L for me, so that's 2.92L. So that's an extra 66 pesos that I save, one way, for a total of 266 pesos. If you drive frequently to Subic/Bataan, that adds up to quite a huge expense per month.

Hindi mabato ang beach sa Anvaya which is in Morong also.

Yes. Wag ka lang magkamali ng turo ni waze, kundi, mag-calculating the route sya, at wala kang data, di nya macalculate

The fastest way for me is the Subic route, I'm from Balanga pero mas safe/mabilis for us na mag SCTEX pa. Daan ka na din sa Loleng's Hu Tieu An, Mt. Samat and Las Casas if you have extra time.

Tapos malapit na din pala Pawikan Festival. Alam ko may Vietnamese Village pa dun, then yung Bataan Technopark na hindi ko pa din napupuntahan lol.

Fastest and economical way to go to Morong is take NLEX exit at San Fernando take J A Santos Ave until Dinalupihan enter SCTEX Dinalupihan and drive until Cubi Airport take left turn until Morong gate and follow the road until Anvaya Cove. Continue driving until you reach the end of SBMA Morong road which is a bridge. If Bonifacio street is one way you need to turn left and use Rizal Street and then left turn to Juan Luna straight to J Linao National Road. Finally turn right to waterfront road going to west wind resort.

Places to visit: not much
-Our Lady of the Pillar Parish Church in front of the Municipal Hall
-eat Vietnamese food, my favorite is banh mi near the church
-Las Casas, never been there 30 minutes from Morong
-Pawikan Concenvation Center, never been there very near
-Subic Bay 1 hour from Morong
-Genos Ice cream ate balanga or orani
-Boat People Museum, inside Bataan Techno Park formerly Refugee processing center. Near Anvaya cove

Please be aware of the traffic rules in Subic and follow the stop sign on intersection. SBMA Morong road is not well lit and is covered much by trees. Cellphone signal is not reliable after Subic, gps device is recommended although asking around is also good.

Hope this help. I'm used to stay there during vacation.

Dito na ko sa Morong mga Bossing. Thank you po sa lahat ng inputs nyo. Very helpful po talaga. Medyo naligaw lang sa subic kasi me marathon kanina daming closed road. Paikot ikot kami dun mukha lang akong tanga haha. Hanggang sa inabot na namin yung pag-open ulit dun sa pakaliwa ng Puregold.

Top 3 places to stay for me in that area would be Anvaya, Las Casas, and Montemar.

Anvaya is easily the most relaxing with a plethora of amenities and modern accommodations. Las Casas is a good trip back in time with picturesque Spanish-era architecture. Montemar is showing its age, but still a good getaway with not much people

Samat is definitely worth a side trip when you're there.

Jut, planning an overnight stay at Las Casas during the holidays, is an overnight stay enough?

We stayed there before, yeah ok na overnight.

Yup. You can do the tour either in the afternoon when you arrive or morning the next day. Then after checking out you can drop by Mt. Samat on the way back.
