Unsay pinaka cheapest way to go to Baguio from Cebu??

[divpro_g]

---

any advice?

[penfires]

for your airfare - wait for promo fares
take a bus sa edsa-pasay terminal sa 5star or victory liner termina, it's nearest sa airport
6 hours bus ride, i think fare now is 350 to 500, depende sa bus line. naay non-aircon but i suggest go for an aircon bus kay gamay ra difference.

naa sad daghan bus terminal sa cubao, if you like mag lrt ka naug sa araneta station, less than P20 lrt fee.

pinakabest, if cebu pacific ka and terminal 3 land ang airplane, ride the airport shuttle in going to edsa pasay via baclaran,P20 lang plite and every 15 minutes mohawa sa terminal 3, nya lakaw nalang gamay padung sa bus terminal.

hope this helps

Maghulat ka promo sa Cebu Pacific which is the Cebu-Clark route.. Usually barato kaayo na dinha..

Once you reach DMIA in Clark, you can ride either a jeep or taxi papuntang Main Gate Terminal ng Clark. From the main gate terminal, you will spend 8 pesos papuntang Dau Bus Terminal and take a bus ride papuntang Baguio..

The last time i went to baguio via Dau Pampanga was last April of this year:

Dau to Baguio with Student Discount is around P230. Regular Fare is P285. Rates are for aircon buses..

how long man ang bus ride from Dau Terminal to Baguio?

More or less mga 5 hours kung walay traffic. That includes a 20-minute full stop sa Tarlac, and a 5-minute weewee break malapit sa boundary ng La Union and Benguet province.

Penfires made a good suggestion in Post #2. Oh by the way, you don't need to wear heavy clothing anymore. Dili na masyado tugnaw ang baguio, it's not what it used to be...

it would be good if timingon sa panagbenga festival of baguio.

I don't understand Cebuano dialect, so hopefully you be speaking in pure Tagalog/English for later replies...but I guess you want to know how to get to Baguio from Cebu the cheapest way.

:: Get a promo flight from either PAL, Airphil or Cebu Pac (I guess Airphil has the lowest rates in a year promo basis).

:: From NAIA Terminal 3 (there are shuttles but will only be until Pasay Rotunda, I'm not sure). Or better haggle with a taxi driver to drive you off to Victory Liner or Genesis (these ones I am sure have trips to Baguio, since I already spent about 5 years my life living in Baguio City).

:: I am not sure how much the cost is, but more or less it wouldn't go over Php 500 (I haven't gone from Baguio to Pasay).

*FARE COMPARISON: Genesis Buses are cheaper than Victory Liner (for small amount), both are aircon buses. By the way, all buses coming from the south of Tarlac City (Manila indeed) are aircon--so DO NOT waste time looking for an ordinary bus.

:: Coming from Pasay, there will be 3 major bus stops. (1) in Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga, (2) in Siesta, Tarlac City (near SM City Tarlac) & (3) in Sison, Pangasinan (before the bridge that separates La Union from Pangasinan). Total travel time will be 6-7 hours. Tarlac City to Baguio is 4 hrs away. Dau to Tarlac Siesta is 1 hour away. I advise you to pack your snacks because food at bus stops are EXPENSIVE.

:: The trip will be having its way through North Luzon Expressway and Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway IF IT'S NOT going through the national road in Mabalacat, Pampanga. From NLEX you will notice the Mount Arayat and from SCTEX, you will pass through the Azucarera in Hacienda Luisita.

**TO THOSE WHO PLAN MANILA TO CLARK THEN TO BAGUIO:

:: You will have to ride a bus northbound, it is safer if you look for buses bound to Baguio. Then tell the conductor that you will be @ Dau in Pampanga ( it's a bus stop). From Dau terminal, ride a trike going to Maingate Clark. There are not much places to visit in Clark, but when I had my trip there, we went to Zoocobia Fun Zoo (which has the first ever gravity race karts in the Phil & another zoo by Zoomanity Group who established the Zoobic Safari in Subic), and Paradise Ranch and SM City Clark. Besides, except for SM which is near the maingate, the other two are located in the outskirts of Clark @ Sacobia Valley--and for that you have to hire a jeep (Php 1000) back and forth (no trikes allowed inside Clark).

:: If you are now off to Baguio, just get to the Dau Terminal and look for the Baguio buses.

***I FAIRLY SUGGEST THAT YOU BETTER SKIP CLARK IF YOU ARE ON A TIGHT BUDGET BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF THE WAY.

:: OR better yet, if you are looking for a side trip other than Baguio, I suggest you go to SUBIC and experience Safari and Ocean Adventure there.


****COMPARISON OF CLIMATE: MANILA/CEBU and BAGUIO

If you are going to Baguio in summer 2012, the climate is still cooler than any other cities in the Philippines. Temperature here doesn't go higher than 30ºC (Cebu goes higher than 30ºC during those times). But do not expect anything cold except @ night. Summer nights in Baguio City is like December/January nights of Manila/Cebu.

The sun is scorching, but once you are under a shade, you will feel a cooler weather. Compared to Cebu/Manila, even if you are already under a shade, you will still sweat (and that malagkit feeling).

If you want to experience colder temperature, better go here by January or February (good if you visit the Flower Festival). At times, temperature here in Baguio City goes down @ 7ºC (cold!). Usually, Baguio is 10 degrees colder than any other cities in the country. So if you go here during those months and plan to walk and tour Burnham and go boating at the lake at night, you better bring your jackets. Lalamigin ka talaga, especially na galing ka sa Cebu which is hot. Lalo na pag umulan dito, maginaw talaga. Maeexperience mo na din yung umuusok yung bibig mo pag humihinga ka pag gabi or madaling araw. Yikes.

*****OTHER INFOS (in Tagalog na hehe)

1) Wag mo piliting maligo sa hotel/transient ng walang heater! Parang galing sa ref lagi yung tubig dito sa Baguio.
2) Wag mo kalimutan na pausukin yung bibig mo pag nagsalita or huminga...hehe experience lang pag nasa malamig kang lugar. Yan di mo magagawa sa Cebu kahit midnight na hehe.
3) Mag-tour ka na jeepney, mas matipid. Pero wag mag-alala, lahat ng taxi dito, de-metro. P35 ang start tapos 2 per patak. More or less hindi ka maloloko dito, Di gaya sa Manila at Cebu na nanghihingi ng fixed rate (lalo na sa Manila).
4) Top list pasalubong mo dapat Ube Jam, Strawberry Jam at Blueberry Jam. Marami pang iba kaya dapat madami ka dalang extra money for pasalubong.

Til next time hehe naubusan na ako ng sasabihin. Post lang kayo dito kung me tanong pa about sa Baguio. Sasagutin ko kung kaya ko.

*****Me trip pala kami summer 2012 sa Cebu City...bale gusto ko din sana makahanap ng magandang itinerary...sana may makatulong sa akin. First time din. E-mail nyo po ako. Tnx.


Sana nakatulong tong post ko!

Sa Dau Bus Terminal sa Clark, do buses going to Baguio pass by San Fernando, La union? Any of you guys know where and what public transpo to take if from Clark to San Fernando, La union?

CORRECTION: Hindi po sa Clark yung Dau Terminal. Dau Terminal is in Bgy. Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga. Though it's just minutes away from Clark.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: Dau is a hub to other places. So from Clark you go to Dau Terminal. If you are already in Dau Terminal look for buses bound to VIGAN or CANDON in Ilocos Norte. Buses bound to Baguio will NEVER pass through San Fernando in La Union. That is because San Fernando in La Union is farther from the south. Bale papuntang Norte ka na nyan. Ang Baguio kasi liliko sa Marcos Highway--papuntang Highlands na yan ng Benguet. Dito winding na ang road kasi bundok na yung dadaanan niyo where as San Fernando is nasa patag pa.
