    Hi people!
    I'll be driving from manila to cdo via samar leyte. Im worried about the effects of yolanda. Are there changes that can hinder my travel? The other threads about this are a bit outdated

    Okay naman, passable lahat. May mga nanghaharang nga lang, humihingi ng tulong.

    Pagod yang route mo sir. Go for MNL-batangas-Calapan mindoro- roxas city mindoro-aklan-dumangas(near iloilo city)-bacolod-dumaguete-dapitan then head to cdo.

    Actual kilometers traveled will be less than 1000kms. Less strain on the cars as 90% of the roads will be well paved. And rest will be accomodated by the boat rides if you may. I will recommend an overnight stop over in dumaguete or dipolog/dapitan

    Ganun talaga if you choose to leave at peak seasons. And try to avoid sugar cane harvest season. Mahirap sumakay sa mga barko

    anong oras usually mga byahe ng RORO from batangas-calapan, roxas-aklan at dumangas-bacolod? I have a gamefowl farm in Bacolod and plano ko rin bumiyahe by land/sea route ;)

    Sa website ng 2GO i input the dimensions of my car and it said i will be charged about 16k to ship my small car to cdo. Sa oceanic naman 22k ang singil sa akin as freight. Luckily my friend said siya na lang daw mag drive cause he always wanted to go on a road trip
    My friend drove my mazda 2 from QC to CDO instead. As expected bugbog raw sa long bad roads. Puro trucks and buses ang kasabay niya.
    Super inefficient ang RORO docks. Very prone to fixers. Back and forth to different tables/windows. Bring a stapler kasi andami mo receipts that need to be complete upon boarding.
    Hindi na up to date ang nakapost na instructions. And you have to be alert which number your car is. Kasi may mga naglalagay para makasingit tapos mabubump off ang car mo. The plate numbers are written on a blackboard so you can check each car kung oc-oc ka at ayaw mo masingitan. After boarding the car, it took 3 hours pa before the ship left

    Along with stopovers to visit friends and some wrong detours, it took him and his wife 71 hours. And take into account that that this was holy week. This road trip would have been shorter if the ROROs were on time.

    It was about 1300kms. I paid P7,800 for gas and the 2 ROROs. Below is their rough schedule

    April 15 "HOLY" TUESDAY
    3AM - leave QC
    • concrete reblocking of many roads at quezon province
    1PM - arrived at Naga
    • lunch break
    230PM - leave Naga for Caramoan (FAIL) cement road was cut off at some point. beyond that road is not compatible with car so had to back track 90km.
    8PM - arrived at Legaspi
    • dinner
    9PM - leave Legaspi for Sorsogon City
    10PM - arrive at Sorsogon City

    330PM - leave for Tacloban
    •bad roads towards Tacloban. Still relatively very depressing scenery
    7PM - arrive at Tacloban
    • SLEEP

    THURSDAY
    730AM - leave Tacloban City for San Ricardo
    9AM - stop-over at Agas-Agas Bridge
