    If using a sedan (altis 07) is it worth it? Masyado bang nakakapagod ang route? Too much terrain a stock car can handle? Im really after stopping by some scenic spots and taking pics, not to mention flexibility and overall, bonding lang. Feedback naman sa mga naka gawa na neto. Total passengers 4.

    Kayang kaya yan. My bro in law goes there using a 09 city with 3 adults, 2 kids plus loads of supplies. No problem.

    I drove there using a vios 2009 and 2014, generally no problem except sumasayad yung ilalim sa humps sa pantabangan dam. Madami din cars na dumadaan dun.

    di ko alam kung andon pa yung mga uncemented part ng roads. may part na malalim yung wheel part ng road at naka umbok yung gitna, just be careful sa ganun, igilid mo na lang ng konti yung kotse. at sa pantabangan dam nga, you really have to ease out yung pagbaba ng tires from the hump lalo na pag puno. also we had a problem back then sa ATM, only one ATM sa baler, the next we found was back at catanduanes.

    Usually mudguards ang sumasabit pero depende yun sa kung papano idrive.

    Nung papuntabako, sumayad ilalim ko ng 13x. 5 kami sa kotse. Nung pauwi, 5 pa din pero dahan dahan sa humps at patagilid ang akyat ko sa humps, mga 2x na lang ang sayad.

    Yup 1.3 pareho.

    No problem yan bro, we've done it with an altis din ng bro in-law ko, bale 5 adult passengers, kayang kaya. But be sure to be more observant if you're not familiar pa, me mga places na pwedeng sumayad sa mga humps. Nasa driving skills mo na lang how to avoid it. But if you're planning to go to "Mother Falls", be sure to leave it sa designated place sa ibaba at mag trike na lang kau pataas. You'll love Baler when you visit it, I miss it na nga eh, sana makabalik.

    Just went to Baler last month with 5 on board my Altis. No problem naman. Not a fun drive though kasi hindi smooth yung daan sa pantabangan. Sementado naman pero hindi ka makakahataw like sa Tanay or sa Sorosogon kasi hindi maganda yung pagkakasmoothen out ng daan. Tapos may lupa pa sa shoulder so pag nagoversteer ka walang allowance to correct.

    Hindi lang talaga sulit ang Costa Pacifica. Nice resort, but not worth the price. It costs 3-4x the price of all the other resorts in the area. Eh hello hindi naman siya Shangri-La Bora level.

    If you wanna go surfing just go to La Union, shorter travel time tapos puro highway pa.

    kakagaling ko lang dyan during APEC. Ok naman ang road condition. Room rates average around 2000 - 2500 per night with breakfast for 2. kakagaling ko lang din dyan last October then balik after a month.

    punta ka sa Mother Falls at Centennial Balete Tree para makumpleto ang pasyal mo. Meron din dyan bahay sa Angara sa itaas maganda din.

    Mura lang food dyan.. mga eat all you can ay 200 per head. Wag mo kalimutan i try yung boneless lechon nila.

    Kuha ka ng resort na may Parking ha.. medyo masisikip kase parking nila.

    Here at sabang beach now. Drove my city. Sumayad yung middle part ng kotse sa humps after nung dam pero mild lang at dahil siguro nabigla ko lang yung departure ng front wheels. Besides, I'm on full load (5 peeps inside and some bags sa trunk).

    May mga ilang sections na under construction and nag-cause ng 1-way. May isang section din sa pantabangan na unpaved/sira (about 2 meters) pero kaya naman, konting manuevers lang para iwas sa malalim. But in general, kaya naman ng kotse. Passed a few din along the way (civic, elantra, vios, jazz, and even an i10).

    Will upload video from my drive cam pagbalik ng manila.

    Also here in baler today. 3 adults, 1 toddler.

    Few rough sections of the road but significantly better than a few years back.

    First time walang sayad vios ko. Hehehe

    Konti lang din tao sa beach ngayon. Mahina ang surfing business
