Natry na kasi namin yan last year. 5:00 AM kami umalis ng Pasig. Paglagpas pa lang ng Malinta Exit nagsimula na magbagal ang traffic. Yung luwas naman namin ng 2017 ganun rin. Mga 4:00 AM yata kami lumuwas. Inabot kami ng hapon o pagabi na pagdating ng Ilocos Sur. Though yun yung time na may nadaganan na UV express sa Kennon Road kaya nakadagdag sa traffic. Kung kaya naman tyagain, magdala na lang ng mga pagkain at toys para malibang ang mga chikiting kahit traffic.

traffic naman palagi during this season. Better trust Nav App like waze or Google Maps and check their routes. Usually mas mabilis sa labas ng NLEX for a certain stretch.

I travel to Subic from Pampanga at least once a week, trust me parehas lang kung mag NLEX-SCTEX ka at MacArthur Highway pag Holy Thursday. Everybody thinks that everybody else will travel later in the day and they all end up on the same roads at the same time.

Advantage lang kung MacArthur kayo dadaan, then Gapan-Olongapo road to Subic, pwede kayong mag rest stop at maraming kainan along the way. You can't really do that on SCTEX more than once unless lalabas ka.

Either way, good luck and safe driving.

We tried this once, I think 3 years ago, assumed that most of the vacationers would have been finished by Thursday evening.

It took us 4 hours to travel from Clark to Subic, what used to be 45 mins only. Go figure.

One of the main problems kasi ng Subic toll gate, 4 lang ang booths, minsan 5 pag ganyang holiday or magdadagdag sila to accommodate the massive inflow, but after the toll gate, the road narrows to 2 lanes again. Dyan na yung bottleneck at traffic ulit.

Kaya bumli kayo ng ganito. Si misis bumili nito exactly for the kids. Usually umaalis kami 3am or 4am papuntang norte. So diretso tulog sila sa sasakyan.
