Pagudpuad --> Dau (Angeles)

We started the day early at 8AM for the South Tour. I love the Bangui Windmills!!!
The Bangui windmills are at the Banguii Brgy. There are 20 windmills, constructed in 1990. These are the very 1st windmills ever built in Asia! 






At Karpurpurawan, or White Rock. It was definitely a arduous journey up a rocky & steep trail! Especially when I was sitting on the pillion of the motorbike. By the time we reached the top of the hill, my right leg was TOTALLY numbed.

 By noon, we caught the local bus along the highway back to Laoag Partas Bus Terminal, and changed a bus from Laoag to Manila.

Sagada --> Baguio --> Dau (Angeles)

We left early in the morning to catch the 8AM public bus (GL/Lizardo Trans) from Sagada to Baguio. There are a few buses daily from Sagada to Baguio at 6AM, 7AM, 8AM, 9AM, 10AM, 11AM & 1PM. It was a 4-5hours bus ride and the fare was 220Peso (SGD$6). The bus stopped at the main public bus terminal and we had to take a taxi (about 30peso) to the Victory Liner Bus terminal to catch the bus back to Dau (Angeles). The Victory Liner bus fare was 306Peso (SGD$9) and took about 5-6 hours.

Hello Angeles City!

I arrived at Clark Airport (Diosado Magapagal International Airport) this afternoon with Tiger Air/SE Air. Don’t ask my why but the ticket was booked with Tiger Airways, flight was flown with SE Air. Anyway, flight was pretty decent, and pretty full capacity. The flight took about 1hour+ from Changi Airport to Diosado Magapalgal. Of course, we were asked to alight and make our walk into the terminal. Don’t expect any glitzy airport facilities. Its basically equipped with a baggage collection point, checkout point, immigration gates and ta-da, I see Aunty Merla & MarieVic waiting for me at the exit gate. It felt a little of déjà vu, from 1 ½ years ago when I visited The Philippines. Especially, when Uncle Ben came to pick me up with the red jeepyney van!

My first snack upon arrival was Banana Cue (sorry, no pic for this!). Its basically bananas fried with some kind of sauce and it turns out crispy, piping hot and SWEET.... I like it!

We arrived at Aunty Merla’s little house that was recently built. Apparently they rushed to build it just in time for me. Its like a cute little studio apartment with a bedroom, small kitchen area and bathroom. I met the 2 kiddos, Jumong & Justin. They are not brothers, Jumong is Justin’s uncle. Yes, uncle, and he’s the younger one. They were really happy to receive the Transformers watch! Jumong is actually Justin's uncle, although he is younger than Justin.
