Strange, I recall having a conversation about trips to Laiya in the past, but could not find a "Laiya" specific topic. As I used the search function, I found quite a few threads on Laiya, but on separate boards.

Anyhow, the family is planning a trip this weekend. As in the past, our route was:
- SLEX
- ACTEX
- STAR toll
- Exit at San Jose/Ibaan
- Follow the signs to San Juan/Laiya

Is there a better route? Lipa is Google maps' default route because it's 10 kms shorter, but Lipa can get busy on the weekends, so I'm planning to skip it.

Are there any major hazards/road work along the route mentioned above that we should watch out for, or plan to go around?

Thanks.
