Going to Subic this weekend

[karl88]

guys, my family and i will be driving to subic on saturday... just would like to know what to expect kasi mga 2 years na din ako hindi nakapunta ng north.

Toll Fee?
Ave. Travel Time to Subic?
Ave. Travel Time to Manila?
Traffic prone areas?
What time ang mga rush hours going back to manila?

we're planning to leave early para doon na kami mag breakfast sa subic, so that we could maximize the entire day to go around. So, im sure we wouldn't experience any traffic (unless merong accident, etc.) since maaga pa naman.

TIA

*karl: hehehe. kita tayo dun. alis ako later, balik ako sunday morning. i'll be staying at the subic international hotel.

ave travel time is around 2.5-3 hours from manila.
traffic prone area is at lubao pampanga. pero moving naman.

[roninblade]

2 - 2.5 hours, to and from manila, ata drive time namin a couple of weeks ago. may mga stop over kasi kami to eat so estimate ko lang yan.

[paulp]

1-1.5 hours from SF Pamp. Traffic usually at Sta Cruz lubao but since you're travelling early morning, shouldn't be a problem. 21 pesos for cars at subic tollway.

bitin na bitin ang maghapon nyo sa Subic... sana hanggang Sunday na kayo para mapuntahan nyo kahit papaano ang kalahati ng Subic, hehehe...

[karl88]

thanks sa mga replies ninyo.

HG: over night lang kami doon. just want to bring the kids to zoobic and the beach. will be staying at subic homes, tapos uwi na din kami mga 2pm ng sunday. just honk 3x if you see a silver altis J (ZCJ-**1). yung in-laws ko kasama kaya its easier to spot us coz convoy ang 2 silver altis.

paulp: 21 at the subic toll. how about sa NLEX? mahal na diba?

actually beach at zoobic lang ang priority na pupuntahan namin, since we already brought the kids to ocean adventure 2 yrs ago. then kung may time pa sa sunday morning siguro mag karting, duty free and sight seeing na lang.

hehehe. zoobic, beach and ocean park lang din agenda namin dun. yung ibang spots kasi di pwede ang 5 year old kid eh (like go-kart).

honk din if you see a dark blue mitsu lancer (WHL-**1), with super menyak tints.

Sa NLEX ay nasa 127 php yata ang bayad hanggang San Fernando exit .. tapos bayad ka ulit sa loob ng subic ng mga 21 pesos yata ( last month lang ako galing doon, pero di masyadong maalala. Ang traffic lang dyan ay sa Lubao market lang parati, pero kung mga 6-7am ay di pa sya traffic.

Punta rin kasi kami sa Saturday morning, start kami dito sa San Pedro ng 4am. Sa Subic Bay Medical Center naman kami dahil meron kaming bi-monthly treatment sa Wellness Center nila. Accupuncture, Massage, etc. Overnight din kami sa dorm nila. Usually, mga bandang 3pm kami lumuluwas. Then mga bandang 7pm nasa bahay na kami depende sa pagpapatakbo at mga stopovers.

kaka galing ko lang nung subic 2 weeks ago, sayang nagkita kita sana tayo... 41pesos initial fee pagpasok ng toll, tapos if i remember it right, 141 peso sa exit. papunta inabot ako ng 3 hours dahil sa traffic sa pampanga pero nung pauwi 2 hours lang.

that was my first time in 2 years to go back to subic, and sad to say, hindi na masyadong attractive yung place. parang ghost town na, napabayaan. yung duty free wala ng taong namimili unlike before na saksakan ng dami ng tao. ndi na din masyadong maganda yung beach. these are just my opinion... baka may mag react

[wilcats]

punta din ako jan sa saturday. hehee!

wla nmn traf, siguro 1.5-2 hours andun kna.

[paulp]

paulp: 21 at the subic toll. how about sa NLEX? mahal na diba?

Total of 146. 42 at Balintawak gate and 104 at San Fernando gate. Going back to Manila, you pay flat 146 at Bocaue gate.

I was at camayan beach last Saturday. Sarap mag beach kahit may bagyo
Ubos pa lahat ng cottage at that time (may mga company outings), so if you plan to go to that beach, try to be early.

txt ninyo ako...taga-dito ako. hehehe

[karl88]

uy dami rin palang pupunta this weekend. thank you sa mga info. happy weekend na lang sa inyo.

[karl88]

bunge: sir, baka magkasabay tayo sa daan. alis kami ng mga 4-5 am sa bicutan then straight na to subic.

[chain]

medyo bumagsak nga ang quality lately sa subic the past 2 years.. partly na din dahil sa business bumababa na.

every week, I make a regular commute there (business kasi namin andun) and true enough, if you get up early enough, you won't have any trouble during the trip. walang traffic if ever.

usually I leave at around 5:30AM. andun na ko by 7-7:30AM. hindi naman ako nagmamadali.

Karl88,

Puting Crosswind ang dala namin, matipid kasi, hehehe. Di komportable pero super tipid sa biokrudo. Kung makita mo kami bumusina ka lang... Plate number is X_H 5_2 .... sa tanghalian, siguradong sa Gerry's Grill kami...

[vhenok]

Hhhhmm....dami natin ha...

Actually, be coming from Alaminos, Pangasinan on Sat and I'm taking the longer route to Manila via Santa Cruz-Iba-Olongapo Road. Siguro late afternoon na kami nasa Subic to stop and have meryenda/dinner dun sa house ng isa naming officemate.

And oh, btw, galing kami Hundred Islands by the time you see us.....

So, honking your horns 3x is the official tsikot callsign huh?

Expect me in silver 2006 Toyota Hi-Ace Commuter .....see ya around!
