sir of you really wanna try to expirience land trip, then kelangan prepared kayo for the worst thing that will to your car .. las december nag landtrip kami to bohol via RORO (bicol samar leyte) .. advice ko lang avoid samar route, bring MAPs local and philippine map, include nyo narin visayan and mindanao map ..
make sure that you know the schedule of the RORO (departure and arrival)
hindi lahat ng route every hour ang biyahe .. sometimes twice a day only ..
-bring foods
-have someone na pwedeng mag-drive (pamalit sa driver if ever non-stop ang byahe..)
-always make sure that the GAS is always on full..
-wag basta-basta mag tanong ng direction specially in mindanao ..
and wag pahalata na tourist ka ..
-bring some extra bulbs,fuses,fluids,meds etc..
-always inform somebody your whereabouts ..
-much better if you have foglamps or switch to allweather bulbs..
(iba-iba kasi ang weather sa visayas and mindanao ..
-always lock doors
-be sure to check B.L.O.W.B.A.G
-have your car an oil change before you depart ..(based on my expirience kasi halfway palang mejo lumapot na ang oil ..
-bring flashlights and warning devices
-remove all unecessary stickers in your car (like LTO PNP TMG stickers.. di safe lalo na in NPA populated towns)
-much better if may kasama kang iba (convoy) mas safe incase of breakdown ..
-sir if your car has stepboard or running board better if tanggalin muna kasi sa RORO delikado .. Yung trooper ko nga nag si-saw dahil sumayad yung stepboard sa roro ..
-be prepared, kasi for sure laspag ang suspension mo pag uwi ..
hope itll helps ..
