Buknoy,

the road I describe is longer, but wala gaanong sasakyan na dumadaan kaya faster...ung maharlika hiway stretch that goes from Gapan to Cabanatuan is short pero maraming slow moving vechicles....the fact is if I'm comming from Angeles city going to Munoz...I saved as much as an hour if I go via Concepcion-Zaragoza-Sta.Rosa routine to reach maharlika hiway....Cabanatuan and Talavera town proper na lang ang mabagal.
