Manila to Tuguegarao

[baker123]

hi guys. im from cauayan, isabela.

5hour road trip from manila to cauayan is possible. used to do it with 4 1/2hrs.
but then the question came up to me one time when lotsa vehicles were in an accident for the whole trip, 4 accidents happened from manila to santa fe (mountain). Whats my hurry? Then i started to drive 7 to 8hours. which is the standard driving time from manila to cauayan. thank God ive never been in an accident. and fortunately realised i dont have to drive fast.

sir lakay- tuguegarao is around 9 to 10hours by private vehicles. remember to bring snacks(biscuits etc) and water or juices, just incase theres a landlslide in Santa Fe and you get stuck in traffic. check vehicle also before leaving manila. stop overs can be Cabanatuan City, dami food dun and resto like max or fastfood joints like mc do and such. next stop can be Santa Fe, sa mismong bayan, dami rin mga carinderia type resto dun. its the start of descending the mountain when you come from manila. its after pugad lawin. then next stop can be Santiago City or Cauayan City, lotsa food places to eat. then next stop is tuguegarao. use the Santiago, cauayan, ilagan tugue route not the santiago, cabatuan, roxas route, dami na sirang cement road dun. maaalog passengers ng vehicle. and the vehicle mismo.

good time to leave manila is 3am if weekdays, reason being umiiwas ka sa traffic ng bulacan and cabanatuan city pag school days, malupit traffic dun pag pasukan and umiwaan (7am and 5pm). and you get to see the scenery and ofcourse safe for you if may mechanical problems lalo na at di pa kayo sanay mag travel going to tuguegarao, you will be able to see the road better. ofcourse safety parin ang top priority.

hope this helps.

Oh, by the way... pasingit ulit... check your tires, fuel and engine condition carefully before entering the mountains in nueva... there are places where it's a b*tch to get stuck, because cellphone service is non-existent in some places.
