wait guys..

so you mean...

from manila to puerto gallera...there is a way na pwede dalhin ko ang aking beloved monzter?

how?

nga pala...

mejo paki bawasan po ang ot...thanks!!

[vinj]

Glenn, kabitan mo lang ng Monster Snorkel yung Monzter mo... kaya yan. :P

Seriously, you take your ride to the Batangas port and load it on the ferry to Mindoro. You can actually drive to Boracay by leaving your ride in Caticlan (although saan kaya pwede mag park na safe?)... I'm thinking of doing that trip sometime as well with my pick-up.

On safety, one basic rule on the road if you're not familiar with the place is to just drive from sun-up till around 5pm in the afternoon. Once it starts to get dark, try to find a place to hole out for the night (tryto research on the good places to stay beforehand).

Sir Glenn,
Pwede ninyo pong dalhin ang beloved MONZTER ninyo sa Puerto Galera. There are roro ferryboats plying the route of Batangas pier directly to Puerto Galera. Or another option po ay take the Batangas Pier-Calapan City route ng mga roro ferryboats. Then from Calapan City, travel by land to Puerto Galera. That's 40+ kms. (about 1 hr) trip.

Hindi ba nakaka ligaw agn Road?? I mean mga major highways ba ang daan dyan. sana may abutin pa akong summer sa June para maka pag travel pa kami.

Hindi po nakakaligaw ang daan. Mga major highways ang dinadaanan. Diretso lang hanggang south.

[phillipogi]

always remember pala, be sure na insured kotse mo bago mo isakay sa roro...

[NightRock]

Ok tsikot guys lets hit the ROAD, and Sail the SEA....mag set na kayo ng Long Driver sama ako dyan??? Basta by JUNE pa hehehehe Lets go to boracay with our RIDES....

[hybrid]

mangyan,
w/c is the shorter route from manila to puerto gallera?
go to batangas city then ride the ferry to puerto gallera?

saan ba ok mag-stay dun?

guys punta tayo bago boracay para ma try before long trip :D

[mangyan]

hybrid,
From Manila, biyahe kayo ng 110 kms. hanggang Batangas City pier. Doon sa pier, may biyahe ng roro ferryboats that will bring u directly to Puerto Galera. That's the shortest route to Puerto Galera. Pero I suggest u take the roro plying the route of Batangas to Calapan City. Kasi mas maraming roro ang nagbibiyahe papuntang Calapan.Regular ang schedule dito. Every 3 hrs. may umaalis na roro. Mas mura pa ang bayad sa barko. Unlike yung papunta sa puerto, bihira ang biyahe doon. Mapapanis kayo sa kakahintay sa Batangas pier. Mahal pa ang bayad sa barko doon.
So, from Batangas pier, take the roro going to Calapan City. Then from Calapan City, u have to travel 47kms to puerto Galera by land. Mga 1hr trip yun.
Matagal na ako hindi nakakapunta sa Puerto Galera. Dayuhan nga ako sa sarili kong bayan. Kaya hindi ko na alam mga pasikut-sikot doon. Madami ng nagsitubong bagong resorts since then. Dalawa lamang naman ang mukha ng Puerto Galera. If u want to have a secluded and private place with ur family, then I suggest u go to TALIPANAN side. Nandoon po ang White Beach sa Talipanan. Pero kung gusto mo ng night life, doon kayo sa SABANG side.

[NightRock]

Any clear details. Interested talaga akong pumunta taking my rides.. Baka merong naka byahe na from Batangas to Caticlan.. using Nautical Highways... Share nyo naman yung mga Distance from one place to another. Gusto ko kasi maka sure na hindi kami aabutin ng gabi sa Daan.

[hybrid]

mangyan, jaycrew,
meron ba kayong contact numbers ng roro, so we can get details like schedule ng ferry and to reserve para sure sa sked

[ozcity]

mangyan,

ano nga ba ulit yung mga procedures na gagawin
bago isakay ng roro?. eto lang yung naalala ko

1.You have to get a PNP clearance b4 you go straight sa batangas pier
sa pier na rin ba ito makukuha?..kasi dati malayo sa pier
yung pnp clearance..i donnu kung magkano na ang fee

2. Dont forget to bring an extra photo copy of your CR and OR

kasi ginagwa ko pag dating ng pier hihintayin ko may lumapit
sa akin tapos ayun babayaran ko na lang sya ..sya na ang bahala
sa lahat hindi ka na bababa ng kotse..heheheheh

[RedHorse]

PNP clearance again? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Ang alam ko, pinatanggal na ito 2 years ago, courtesy of Loren Legarda, kasi ito ang reklamo ng mga byahero dyan sa Mindoro.

And, crossing bicol to samar, maliwanag na nakasulat sa wall, 2 procedures lang, present photocopies of OR and CR (bring the orig in case may contest) pay corresponding fees, next proceed sa roro vehicle scheduler.

One thing I always do, nakawax ang car ko, and may baon na extrang tubig pangtangal ng seawater.

[mangyan]

oscity,
sir, last time na magtawid ako ng sasakyan(last JAN), hindi ako hinanapan ng PNP clearance. On and off po ang pagre-require ng PNP clearance. Pero para sa akin dapat i-require ang clearance to prevent carnapped vehicles from escaping or entering the province. Anyway, madali lang naman mag-acquire ng clearance. Ang office ng HIghway Patrol ay malapit lang sa may gate bago kayo pumasok ng Batangas pier. Kailangan lang ng one copy each ng OR & CR. Pagpasok ninyo ng pier, madadaanan na ninyo ang booth na kailangan bayaran pa like arrastre et.al. Then proceed na kayo sa loob para pumila.

Last 1999 nag travel kami from Manila to Koronadal in South Cotabato. We took the RORO twice, first at Matnog then in Liloan on our way to Surigao. Yun PNP clearance ay sa 1st port lang kinukuha (Matnog). The succeeding port just stamp the paper ala passport. Bring extra copies of OR and CR or an authorization letter if the vehicle is not yours (tebats, take note).

Tips ko lang:

1. don't park your car near the stairs of the RORO, otherwise you'll end up having scatches from the luggages and bags brought by the passengers. And know when you are near the destination so you can go down to your car without squezzing with bus passengers.

2. I don't discourage travelling at night if...

3. ...you keep your car in tip top shape. There are place especially fishing boats at sea with their "lampara" that is a sight to behold.

4. Be courteous to the locals. don't be too flashy.

5. take note of gas stations, vulcanizing shops as you go along. who knows you might have to make a U for repairs.

6. always smile at check points, although we didn't encountered any.

7. Always gas full tank whenever you can preferebly in a city.

8. bring food (can, instant mami) and lots of drinking water

9. on the way back use a different "main" route (this is for the adventrous) :wink:


I'm planning on taking the nautical highway up to Boracay with my wife next year.

I have a fear of flying. :wink:
