Balintawak NLEX to TPLEX Urdaneta is just 170 km long, so it'll only take you a little over 2 hours if you average 80 kph for the entire stretch of NLEX/SCTEX/TPLEX.

Even if you have breakfast along NLEX, it shouldn't take you 5 hours to get to Manaoag. You won't have many tricycles to deal with since 90% of your travel is on the expressways.

Ok then, 3 hours. To miss cathy, 3 hours daw po mam from south to manaog kahit 6:30 AM departure time nyo.

Goodluck sa queuing sa mga toll booths unless naka RFID, expect the unexpected long weekend yan.

It'll take over 3 hours if you include breakfast, plus of course there's still the travel from Urdaneta to Manaoag, which is about 20 minutes.

Toll booth traffic isn't so bad for northbound motorists on a Sunday morning. Most vacationers leave on a Saturday.

Juts direction is the best route. In the event you turn right at Mac Arthur hiway after exiting Urdaneta TPLEX exit, you can turn left at the junction of Mac Arthur and Binagonan-Asingan road. That will lead you to Manaog as well.

Sta Rosa to Baguio in 4 hrs is no sweat. Did that last June took off 5am averaging 110km/hr in all expressways via Kenon.

Guys, since Cathy is basically clueless (just like me) about the names of the places, exits etc, can someone post a Google map or link.

For Cathy, based on my experience, once you are in NLEX, you'll never miss SCTEX and TPLEX as long as you follow the signs.
Ang mahirap jan once you exit TPLEX.

Google Maps link for the Sta. Rosa - Manaoag route: https://www.google.com.sg/maps/dir/1...6.043987?hl=en

If you're totally clueless, the best option really is to use Waze throughout the whole trip to avoid getting lost.

Please be specific with directions. I'll be coming from the South (SLEX) Thanks!

yung sinabi ni funkee fastest route na yan. "^Take Urdaneta exit at TPLEX, turning left southbound. Turn right at the first intersection with traffic lights. Yun na pa-Manaoag."

bale coming from South > Edsa > NLEX > SCTEX > TPLEX (urdaneta exit) > Turn right (first stop light) > Manaoag

4 hrs going to baguio? never ko pa nagawa yan (coming from Manila pa). Easy lang sa pagdrive darating din tayo sa pupuntahan natin lalo na kung kasama pa ang family

Galing ako ng manaoag last saturday.
That's almost 4hours drive.
Pasay- edsa- nlex-sctex-tplex-urdaneta(exit)- sta barbara (then took the shortcut route to manaoag).
Departed *6am...arrived * almost 10am.
Sobrang trapik sa Urdaneta,ginagawa yung hiway going to sta barbara.
4 hours from manila to baguio? Hmmm..
Impressive.

Out of topic lang....

Yes you can make it in 4 hours- Manila to Baguio- if you travel non stop and within speed limit of 100kph on the expressways and no lines at the toll booths of nelx, sctex, and tplex.

Just today, i left BGC at 930am, and reached Baguio at 330 with an hour and 10 minutes stop at Matutina for lunch, 15 minutes at Petron Lakeshore and 5 mins stop at Rosario for fuel refill and taking Marcos hiway going up.

So basically, it's give or take a few minutes and you can make it in 4 hours, but who doesn't want a good meals and some yosi break along the way. Unless, you are determined to prove something or otherwise.
