That's a long way to trek. There is this Lipa-Alaminos road that is well paved hiway. It will cut short your travel time compared if you take the Startoll.

so, mas OK pa rin dumaan via Alaminos-San Pablo going towards southern Quezon/Bicol?

Due to Holy Week Traffic, I am contemplating on taking alternate route to and from Bicol, mainly para maiwasan San Pablo, Tiaong, Sariaya traffic. Going to be Bicol, leaving 3am from Manila, we'll take Lipa-Tiaong road (I'm pretty much decided on this as my Uncle said he uses this route every time). Going back to Manila, we'll leave Easter Sunday (9am), and if we reach Lucena latest 4pm, I'm planning to take this road I see on Google Maps, Quezon Eco-Tourism road, then Rosario-San Juan-Candelaria Road, then to Lipa Star Toll. Has anyone passed thru this roads? How is the road condition and the area?

speaking of Quezon Eco-tourism road, nakita ko sa news feed ko sa FB na bukas na siya according to Cong. Irwin Alcala.

Irvin Alcala - Opo!!! Bukas na po ang Eco-Tourism road... | Facebook

sabi din sa isang reply ni Cong. Alcala:

"pag galing ka sa mla mag star toll ko exit ka sa ibaan bagtasin mo ibaan, rosario at san juan batangas may sign naman pag labas mo san juan kanan kandiretso na iyan labas ka sa may dating philhealth"

Though marami din sagabal na tricycle jeepney from Ibaan to San Juan. It is much quicker and less stressful than Maharlika Hway. All well paved road na din and meron pa nawidened din.

so nakadaan ka na pala dyan. although I think, mapalagyan ni congressman ng ilaw kapag gabi.

last Thursday was a horrendous day traveling south (we went the old route). umalis na kami ng Manila ng past 3am, ang haba ng pila sa tollway sa SLEX, tapos ang haba ng oras namin sa trapik sa may Alaminos (blame those vehicles counterflowing too, kaya walang nakadaan na mga sasakyan on the opposite side..) then I anticipated na magiging trapik sa may San Pablo, Tiaong, Candelaria and Sariaya, so I opted to pass through Laguna via Calauan to Majayjay to Lucban.

Wow that was a long way reroute😕 Yup I always use that road now going to Lucena much much oks than Maharlika Hway though a bit longer route frm MNL. One of causes of big traffic near Alaminos/Sto Tomas area are the exit from Padre Pio Shrine

Hi, guys.

Next week na ang punta namin sa Bicol Albay. One week kami magstay at ito ang mga nakita kong pwedeng pasyalan. Pasuggest naman po ng magandang itinerary para dito. Also, kung may alam po kayo na magandang place na wala sa list or hindi na namin dapat pang puntahan, suggestions are open.

Note: Kasama ko si misis na 1 month preggy at yung father niya na may arthritis paminsan minsan hehe.

^That is lot of place to see! How many days do you need to cover those, including travel time? Might plan to do it as well after summer.

Should you plan to take this route coming from Manila, the fastest way will be Calamba-> Los Banos -> Calauang -> Nagcarlan -> Liliw-> Majayjay -> Lucban-> Lucena. Though a bit longer trek but technically it's faster & continues moving rather than the unpredictable Maharlika Hiway of Alaminos, San Pablo & Tiaong.
