You don't really have to take any energy drinks.

Baka sumakit pa ang ulo mo at lalong magkanda loko loko ang pagmamaneho mo.

please be advised the motorolla talkabout handheld radios are required by the NTC to be registered. its just a one time registration fee of P1000. medyo mahigpit ngayon ang NTC especially here at region 3. madami ng mga business establishments and na raid nila dito. if you don't intend to register your radios, and you will use it when you travel this holyweek, itago nyo nalang mabuti yan whenever makakakita kayo ng mga motorist assistance centers (oplan sumvac) along major highways. those peoples are tasked by the NTC to apprehend/confiscate illegal/unregistered radios.

Hindi ba ginawa nga ang FRS para maging pang-masa ang radio communications at hindi na kailangan ng lisensya?

That is why it has its own set of frequencies.

Labo talaga ng NTC. Lahat pineperahan.

pinagiisipan din daw i-ban yung mga long range na cordless phones. pumapasok kasi ito sa mga VHF frequencies ng mga 2-way radios.

OT: Bakit hindi na lang kasi i-adopt ng NTC ang FCC regualtions para walang problema.

Yung mga 900mHz na cordless phones ay approved ng FCC at wala namang problema with VHF interference abroad.

Ewan ko kung nagpapapogi lang iyang NTC o kung ano...meron bang tatakbo sa election diyan?

e baka pati RC ibawal nyan. laruan na lang kelangan pa ng license.

palagay ko nasuhulan ng mga cell phone companies yan kaya ginawa nila na need ng license ang "walkabout" radio. kasi pag meron kayo nun at malapit lang tatawagan mo e di radio na lang gamit mo at di cell phone.

dude, kung magdadala ka ng kape para wag antukin, don't forget to bring extra empty bottles ng gatorade para ayos

Check the cooling system as these are one of the things that go bye-bye in long drives (hoses and fan belts). Bring extra light bulb (headlight and brake bulbs), flashlight, EWD, tools, a good tow rope and jumper cables.
