Pampanga-Manila-Bicol-Pampanga ( di na dadaan Manila pabalik) possible?

[Ponkan]

Planning another road trip pero sa south naman, Albay un lang pabalik sana di na dadaan ng Manila, may other way po ba saka kamusta un road condition? tnx po sa reply

One option is to pass by Rizal after Laguna. Good roads but you'll end up passing by via QC as well.
The other way is from Camarines Norte go through Quezon, then Aurora, Nueva Ecija out Pampanga.

Sorry, your left only with the Laguna-Rizal route via Siniloan going Tanay, Baras, Marikina and so forth..

Wala namang passable road na nag connect straight from Quezon Province to Aurora Province.

If this is your first time to drive past Candelaria, Quezon, prepare for the on-going road construction work from Pagbilao to Naga City, from Naga City to Legaspi, Albay, smooth driving na. For road trip, travel in the day time but prepare for the traffic and day time heat. Night driving naman, delikado sa mga first timer due to bad roads, you cannot speed up.

ok sir glenn tnx, summer lang kasi good time para mag-trip dyan sa Bicol come June dadaan na un mga bagyo dyan baka mag-north nalang kapag ganyan trapik at dami ginagawa, unlike ng north maaliwalas mag-drive

Masarap din mag road trip sa south, you can visit Cagsawa ruins, Mt Mayon Observatory sa Albay, and the Watersports Park sa Naga City. Or if you want extreme, you can visit Caramoan island group, all of this will depend on your budget. The Andaya (old Osmena) Highway is a good sight seeing highway if not for the on going road repairs. Passing the EME (bitukang manok) road between Pagbilao and Atimonan is also a good first time driving experience.

Dont discourage yourself because of the traffic, its manageable naman not unlike the Metro Manila traffic. My only advise is plan your trip well it will save you money. Get a road map or if your budget permits buy a Garmin GPS with loaded Philippine roadmap.

This is the perfect time to drive to the south, as the north is hotter than the south during this month.

Kakagaling ko lang nung isang araw sa albay, tolerable naman ung mga construction dyan dahil unti lang naman ang nabyahe. Expect reblocking sa atimonan (ung iba malliit, ayos na numg pag uwi ko) hangang middle ng quirino(r. andaya)

Night trip maganda kung ayaw mo ng trapik basta alalay lang sa pag overtake esp sa area ng may reblocking at wag gagawin aeroplano ang sasakyan.

Lignon hill at cagraray eco park maganda din dayuhan dyan sa albay kaya go na, now na!:-)
