How to Get to Nagsasa Cove, ZambalesPosted by Ada on Category: Luzon, Zambales | 4 Comments |
Going to Nagsasa is pretty simple. You can also include this place after your overnight trip to Anawangin.
Again, Zambales is 2 to 3 hours away from Manila to Brgy. Pundaquit, just go to one of Victory Liner stations, get yourself a ticket to Iba, Zambales or Sta. Cruz, Zambales (Php 251.00). When nearing the town of San Antonio, tell the conductor to drop you off the town’s public market.
Then call a tricycle going to Mt. Pundaquit (Php 60.00 for every two passenger) which is 25 to 30 min tricycle ride. Boat to Nagsasa from Mt. Pundaquit is Php 1,500, good for 4 people.

Nagsasa burned down.
I suggest going to Nagsasa Cove first and spend overnight there then include Anawangin or Capones in your trip in the morning. I prefer Nagsasa Cove over Anawangin in terms of view. Also, there is lesser people in Nagsasa compared to Anawangin.

This move is part of Airphil Express’ plans to expand further in 2012, by tapping tourist market in North and Central Luzon.
“We are providing a vital and convenient link between residents and visitors in the north to popular destinations in the south such as Boracay and Palawan,” explains Alfred Herrera, Airphil Express senior vice president for sales and marketing, during recent ceremonies sealing the agreement between the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) and Airphil Express.
Here is the following flight schedules:
Clark to Cebu route (v.v.) every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
Clark to Davao route (v.v.) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
Clark to Kalibo route (v.v.) every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
Clark to Puerto Princesa route (v.v.) every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
What makes Airphil Express as the current the darling of the tourism crowd is its affordable rates and convenience-driven products and services like Web Check-In, Seat Selector, Travel Insurance, and Pre-Paid Baggage, as well as travel exclusives of as much as 15 kilos free baggage allowance and an additional 7-kilo free hand carry.
Unlike other airlines in the Philippines, Airphil Express was the first budget airline to assist travelers round-the-clock with its 24/7 customer service presence in social networking websites. Airphil Express also serves Manila-Singapore and Cebu-Hong Kong international routes.
Right now, Airphil Express offers tickets at their websites for as low as P188 from Clark To Kalibo, Cebu, Davao, or Puerto Princesa.

The Trek to Mt. Pinatubo, all worth it!Posted by Ada on Category: Adventures, Luzon, Pampanga, Trekking | 16 Comments |
My first ever travel for this year was trekking to the pristine peak of Mt. Pinatubo. I have always wanted to explore Mt. Pinatubo but due to budget constraints and not enough people to join me it never pushed through. I was really glad to join these group of 29 people and this maybe the cheapest trip to Mt. Pinatubo you will ever experience.
Usually, a day trip to Mt. Pinatubo which includes the transportation, food, tour guide, and 4×4 ride will costs you 2K or more; however, in this group that I joined, we only spent P1.6K each which is better than those group buying websites.
I was able to finally meet some travel bloggers which I only knew online. They are just great as their blogs, funky, full of dreams, energetic. All of a sudden, I felt pathetic that I am missing a lot of travel invites since I started working full-time.

One of the highlights when going to Mt. Pinatubo is the 4×4 trek ride which was a 45-min to an hour ride. At first, we were all wishing to ride on an open 4×4 vehicle. I was one of the selfish people there who are dying to ride on open vehicle as you get to experience the rocky road; but for some reason, I was chosen to ride on a closed one and somehow felt bad (a little).

But during the first half of the 4×4 trek ride, we realized that we’re lucky to be on a closed vehicle as it gets dusty outside. If you’ll notice, the fresh looking faces before now look terrorists.
Next challenge, is the 2 to 3-hr trek. As long as you have food, water, and great panting techniques, you will survive. The biggest mistake that I made on this adventure was that I’ve worn the wrong shoes and I was wearing pants! I should have worn shorts and trekking shoes as I didn’t research or ask for some tips prior to this adventure. Continue reading »
