sa white beach bro. 500? hmm.. ilang days plano niyo? kasi usually 3 days 2 nights. nagdadala nalang kami ng mga de lata tska tubig. ang binibili na lang namin dun kanin. so binabayaran lang namin din kanin, kuwarto tska pag magbo-boat ride. And of course... booze!

yung bus ride from cubao to batangas pier mga 120 bucks. tas yung boat ride from pier to white beach around 120 din siguro. di ko sure ha? so sa pamasahe back and forth, mga 500 ok na talaga yun per head. sobra pa yon.

sa budget there, kahit nga 1k kayang kaya eh. basta tipid gimik

yup ganyan nga ang fare sa bus at boatride na. Magdala ka extra money kasi nakakatemp ang mga food dun lalo na mga bagong huli. Pang chicks na din hehe!!!

For me, the best place to stay is in Club Mabuhay in Lalaguna. They got nice amenities(swimming pools, garden, bar, resto, secured place) and room rates are affordable. You can try their lunch package meals or buffets at night. Their aircon cottage ranges from P1,200 to P2,000.

For tipid gimiks, you can try out the White Beach werein you can pitch a tent there for free accomodations na. Moreover, you can ride a Jeep from Mulle, Puerto Gallera Pier.
That's a lot of savings! The only problem is that their beach sand is not as white as the Lalaguna cove beaches plus the inadequate toilet facilities.

Another suggestion is to pitch a tent in Bukete where it is much secured and private. You just have to ride a pumpboat or walk around half an hour just to get there. Around 15 mins away from Mulle.

Also, bring your own snorkel and mask so that you will not rent out their snorkels & masks which is quite unhygienic to use. Bring also Strapped sandals(sandugo, tribu) or Aqua shoes because the corals are too sharp.

Hope this helps!
