Hahaha, Lost Command ni Colonel Lademora! Kakilala ko nung college yung apo ni colonel. Private army eto nung 80s.

Following this read as I plan to go to Davao by land once medyo manageable na yung COVID19 situation.

There's a ferry schedule but there are times that the ferry does not get full enough for them so they will wait for more passengers / cargo and move the schedule to next slot ...

An Alternate route would be through Batangas Port kasi maraming options. Either from Batangas Port to Mindoro, or Caticlan, or straight to Iloilo( I think Dumangas Port). Road trip to Dumaguete and RORO from Dumaguete to Dipolog and nasa Mindanao ka na. This is for destinations for Western and Central Mindanao.

1. Ano ang operating hours ng Matnog port? 24 x7 ba sya? Assuming GCQ.
2. If coming from Manila, ano oras maganda umalis para dumating sa Matnog ng morning.
3. May naka try na ba ng port sa Castilla sorsogon?
4. Aside from OR/CR any doc pag board sa RORO? Innova .

Thanks a lot

Weather check your planned date bro. Rains next week in matnog.

Fortunately going back the rains were light.

1. Santa Clara lang yata ang every 2 or 3 hours may byahe. Yung iba 8PM last trip. Di ko lang alam kung may updated schedule sila.

2. As per waze, mga 15 hours mo tatakbuhin non-stop hanggang Matnog. Kung gusto mo morning makarating, siguro alis ka na ng tanghali. Assuming may mga stop-over ka para kumaen, mag-cr, matraffic. Kami nun, 12:00 AM Friday kami umalis. Dumating kami ng Matnog mga 5:00 PM Saturday na ata gawa ng mga traffic (sa mga bayan na walang bypass road), CR stops at stop-over ng 1 hour sa Cagsawa.

3. Di ko pa natry ito pero nagsearch ako. Isa pa lang ang byahe dun sa port via Lite Ferries every 12:00 PM lang at 6 hours daw ang byahe.

4. Kami noon, yan lang OR/CR at driver's license. Mobilio naman dala namin.

MARAMING Salamat po Sir!

Anybody tried inter-island travel by car yet? Or anybody used the SPASS? Kamusta experience?

Are there more ferries here than the ones via Bicol-Leyte/Samar-Surigao?
