Barely no one was on SCTEX around 2pm yesterday.

On the way back, after surviving above ankle floods in my Honda Jazz in the Zambales towns of San Felipe, San Marcelino and Castillejos, we used suggested SCTEX/Porac Exit/Friendship Hwy/S. Clark on to Nlex. Again, nobody was on SCTEX at 10pm.

Its quite a hassle as the Friendship Hwy is heavily used by dump trucks and was quite rutted in certain sections.

Madali nga ma-miss yung Megadike turn-off na yan if you're not too familiar. But once you're on it, straight to Porac na yan.

Friendship Highway is okay except at some portions but yes, daming truck pag gabi. This is my favorite route though when i come from Clark and go to San Fernando.

So mga Bosing hindi ba best dumaan sa Olongapo-Gapan road sa day time trip papunta Balanga Bataan? SCTEX pa rin ba ang fastest way exit via Dinalupihan? Salamat.

Sirs, I always use the San Fernando Highway and I enter SCTEX via Dinalupihan. Difference in travel time is negligible (for me) and mas tipid sa toll fees. I travel to Zambs regularly hehe (once or thrice a month).

As of two days ago...hindi pa passable ang Clark South exit to Subic. Best bet for you OG road then turn right to Porac town and exit ka sa Porac exit towards Subic.

megadike pinaka mabilis na daan. weekly din kasi ako sa subic kaya na daanan ko lahat ng road na naka post dito ever since nasira yung sctex. megadike talaga pinaka mabilis at maganda na daan.
