galing akong KK last sep 11-15, eto ang tips na maibibigay ko:

Arrival:

- Dapat magdala ka ng ringgit para pang taxi, kasi kung darating kayo ng gabi na, sarado na ung money changer.

- RM 30 ang bayad sa taxi papuntang city.

- Okay lang na pesos ang bitbit mong pera.

- Babala: Nanunuot sa ulo ang amoy ng mga taxi driver dun. hahaha. samahan pa nila ng mas malakas pa na amoy ng pabango nila. hahaha

Accommodation:

- Kung backpacker ka I would highly recommend Rainforest Lodge, located sa city mismo.

- Pang backpackers talaga ang lugar, daming puting backpackers din dun.

- Mura lang ang rates nila, nakapromo sila nung pagdating namen, RM 25/head pag dorm type at RM 58/room pag room for two, kaso communal ang CR. Included na pala ang complimentary breakfast sa rates.

- May mga rooms din naman sila na may sariling CR, pero mas mahal.

- Sa labas mismo ng lodge, may tatlong cafes. Sugarbun cafe, Rainforest cafe at BBQ cafe. May 10% discount ka sa bill mo pag pinakita mo ang susi ng kwarto nyo.

- May banda gabi-gabi sa BBQ cafe, mga pinoy ata sila kasi narinig nameng kumanta sila ng kanta ni Jessa Zaragoza.

- Naglalakad lang kame parati kasi malapit lang sa lahat. At mahal ang taxi dun, walang metro.

Money Changer:

- Magpapalit kayo ng peso nyo sa loob ng Wisma Mederka, dahil maganda ang palitan dun.

- Malapit sya sa Nike Park at KFC, at Guardian store. Sorry nakalimutan ko ang name.

Food:

- Must try ang 3 layer tea sa sugarbun cafe. Sarap! Wag kalimutang kumain ng Nasi Lemak. hehehe

- Try nyo rin kumain sa mga restaurant nila na madaming locals na kumakain kasi masarap dun. hahaha

- May nakainan kame, malapit sa 7-11, ang sarap ng laksa nila.

Adventure:

- Once ngstay kayo sa rainforest lodge, may discount kayo para sa island hopping. Instead na RM 17 per island, magiging RM 13 nalang.

- Ang babayaran para sa island hopping normally ay RM 17 per island, RM 6 terminal fee at RM 10 environmental fee na babayaran mo pagdating sa isang isla.

- Once ka lang magbabayad ng environmental fee, itago mo lang ang receipt para di ka na magbabayad sa susunod na island.

- Maraming isda sa Manukan Island, nanunugod ng tao. hahaha. Mga gutom, sanay na sila na pinapakain.

- Mas maganda parin ang beaches dito sa pilipinas.

- Must try ung PADAS RAFTING, panalo ang rapids nila, panis ang mga rapids dito.

- Mag-arrange kayo ng rafting sa BUSAT located sa Wisma Sabah na tapat ng Wisma Mederka. Sila ang pinakamurang outfitter, RM 180 ang binayad namen, pero kung madami kayo, mas bababa pa ang rates.

- 1 whole day ang rafting pag Padas kayo, 730AM ang sundo sa hotel at 830PM kayo makakabalik sa city.

- Grade 3 at 4 ang rapids dun.

Shopping:

- Walang mabibili dun.

Nightlife:

- Ang mahal malasing dun! hahaha ang mahal ng beer!

- Ang yosi mahal din, RM 9 ang isang kaha ng Marlboro.

- Ang hot spot dun ay ung BBQ cafe lang ata. hehehe

Yan lang muna, kuyng may tanong kayo, sasagutin ko nalang. hehehe

been to these secluded islands, meaning no resorts or establishments:

CARAMOAN PENINSULA, CAMSUR (all islands have white sands)

CALAGUAS ISLAND, CAMNORTE (imagine boracay without establishments)

makati nga ang tubig! :thumbsdownsmiley:

last maunday thursday, we stayed overnight in one of the islands kaso hindi sa mga developed islands dahil sobrang daming tao. we stayed at scout island. there are a lot of islands pa na pwede mag overnight, to name a few, martha, romulo and lopez islands. But make sure to bring with you your tent, cooking utensils and most especially your food, water and drinks.

I saw it yesterday in Mel and Joey.

main attraction ung 25m walk under water.

Regalia Tower Suites is a gem...I stayed there for 2 months while I was there in Manila. It's new and the service is excellent.

Their room service was great. They have a little cafe/restaurant at the lobby that serves really reasonable priced

menu....love their steaks! Their chef was excellent kasi dahil araw araw akong nagoorder, he would cook something na wala sa menu

pra sa akin. The rooms are reasonable price. My doctors came and visited me during my recovery at Regalia, they were trying to

have me stay elsewhere since they've never heard of Regalia Towers before but once they saw the inside super impress sila and

are now recommending their out of the country patients dun. Their decor is contemporary and everything is new. You'll be surprised

once you get in. It's so nice and clean there na dun nagshooting sina Bea Alonzo at John Lloyd when I was there in Aug and Sept.

i know this place, damn! maiiyak lang ako pag madadaanan ko ang lugar na to. waaahhh.

kung di ako nagsuka, jackpot sana. waaahhh.

ganda nga ng mga rooms nila.

it is along P. Tuazon street near EDSA intersection.

sa likod sya ng isang gasoline station.

hi zeromike22,

we'll be there in CDO this friday, and after checking in, we'll go directly sa white water rafting... yahoo...

and based sa travel agency namen, kagay rafting yung guide namen, kasama kaba parati sa group?

good to know na may water proof camera kayo, para kuhanan kame, nice.

and btw, may extra charge ba yun with regards sa pictures and burning them on the disk?

TIA.

another question... which route is much faster mla.. baguio.. sagada or the mla... banaue... sagada via cabanatuan side

same lang ata

mga tsong thank you last question whats the estimate travel time?

manila-baguio-sagada

6 hours manila to baguio

6 hours baguio to sagada [3 hours concrete road/ 3 hours rough road]

maganda din d2 sa route na eto dadaan kau ng Halsema Hway, the highest hway in terms of elevation, may highest point pa yun.

manila-banaue-sagada

10-11 hours manila to banaue

1 hour banaue to sagada

mga repapips how to you get there by bus??? info naman??? planning to go next mos.

2 routes lang alam ko

manila-baguio-sagada

from baguio, sakay ka taxi papuntang LIZARDO bus terminal, nasa may DANGWA terminal, direct to sagada na yun

manila-banaue-sagada

sakay ka ng AUTOBUS d2 sa may espanya, bound to BANAUE, from banaue, jeep to sagada

maganda d2 kasi makikita mo pa ung banaue rice terraces

happy trip!

in front of St. Lukes medical center along E. rodriguez, there is this busline that fares to bontoc..Cabletours. then from bontoc just take a jeepney ride to sagada for 40pesos. . last time i went there (nov2007) the fare was about 600pesos. not sure if its still there, heard they got shut down for legal reasons.

meron din pala direct bontoc d2 sa manila. last time punta namen, dahil wala ng bus derecho baguio nagjeep muna kame pa bontoc dahil may direct baguio na dun.

hi guys. just wanna ask how much would it cost me if i travel/commute to sagada alone? im planning to go there for some soul searching is 5k enough for a 3 days & 2 nights stay?

5k is enough already for 3D2N trip, mura lang kasi dun ung mga rooms. last year 150/head/night. Ung food dun 100+ per meal.

we're going there this holy week!!! can't wait!!!

goodluck. we were there last year's holy week, sobrang daming tao.

tapos kung magcaving kayo, traffic pababa at paakyat.

wag kaligtaang kumain sa YOGHURT house, at mahaba din pila d2. hehehe

hi peepz, any recommended hotel in CDO?
