i've been wanting to go to aurora for years, it’s just that the public transportation to that province is so limited and there’s not that much of travel information available about it, until recently i guess…i didn’t know it had it’s own website but the information found on the web about this place is still few, it still is a bit difficult to create a travel itinerary to make sure the trip is efficient and worthwhile.

by the way, just to share …several years back, when there was still this show called “travel time”, hosted by susan kalaw medina, the woman who made the phrase “wag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan” so famous, said that the province of aurora, being one of the so called, “off the beaten path destinations” is considered to be the best. i forgot the other places included in that episode, which was about the less travelled destinations in the country but offer comparable beauty to other famous destinations in the country. she also mentioned that aurora was one of her favorite places to visit here in the Philippines.

waterwell: Hindi naman sa Baler sinyuting yung 'Baler'.

Ano na ba ang daan na papuntang Baler? Bongabon o Pantabangan? Alin ang mas maganda?

I will be traveling alone for Aurora this Holy Week. I'll stay for 1 night in Baler, then explore Sierra Madre and the beaches. Hindi nga to madalas puntahan kaya dito ako pupunta mag-isa.

^ Baler is one good place talaga..andaming mga hidden tourists spots na mga natives lang nakakaalam... GANDA dito . I had been here 3 times by an invitation of a friend...

Sana lalo pang madevelop itong province na ito...lalo na yung mga daanan kasi sa gilid gilid ng sierra madre lang tapos prone to mudslides pa yung mountrain ranges ngayon dahil sa illegal and too much logging...
maraming potential ito especially for renewable power resources!

Blessed DAy Magiting,

Can i ask for a favor, pwedi magpadala ng vitamins sa tatay ko sa Baler? He got a cute farm in Cemento with my step mom, with their pet farm animals.

Kung d ka naman maselan, pwedi ka na din makitulog sa cute kubo over looking our fish pen over looking the magroves.

Sa likod nga ng bahay na Autie ko may creek, white sand, ang galing.

Anyways, pwedi po ba?

[magiting214]

Hey Lady Violet, or Bayaya!

That's fine by me. Though I'm not sure where Cemento is. Drop-off ko is Baler. Then di ko na alam kung saan ang susunod. Basta sure ako na dapat marating ko and Casiguran. If you can show me how to get to Cemento, go lang ako.

Pero may kapalit.

I might not be able to go to Sagada this April 18. Schedule Conflict. I bought a chess set for Kuya James who was my tour guide the last time I was there.

Pwede *** magdala kung aakyat ka. May sched ata kayo this month e. .

Gaano katagal ba papunta Baler? Saan dyan yung Puno, yung Oldest Tree daw? Pwede kaya yan na Day Trip lang? Alis Umaga balik mga madaling araw?

sa maria aurora town ito. the only town in aurora na walang ocean view.

balete tree ito. na 300 to 400 years. malaki raw. pero i was not able to see this. reserved na ito for next time.


wow. parang hindi kakayanin ito for a day tour lang. matatagtag ka sa biyahe. dapat at least two days ito.


if i am going to recommend a day tour then it has to be vigan. punta ka midnight tapos dating sa umaga. then have a vigan tour. maliit lang naman ang vigan and again all the significant tourist points. puwedeng lakarin halos. specially from calle crisologo. get amazed by that sight. then leave the place at dinner. puwede sa mga old folks ang trip na to since malalapit lang ang mga spots.

but of course i digress as this is a baler, aurora thread.

yes tama hindi sa baler ang shooting ng "baler" . sa tanay, rizal ito.

although there are props from the set na donated sa museum ng baler including a canon at the footstep of the museum.

Thanks sa Info! Safe ba naman Mag Byage sa Aurora? Wala naman kaya mga Masamang Loob na mang harang ng kotse dun sa bagong highway?

i don't know if you read this thread having the same topic as this tread. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/...d.php?t=365432

i made some comments here. hope they help you.

regarding sa security. well although puwedeng mangyaring ang masamang loob just to get on the bus lalo na sa may nueva vizcaya towards the end of the trip. i am more concerned sa dangers ng trip papunta at galing sa baler in terms of accidents.

kanina while i was on my way to manila. i saw a truck fall by the wayside. buti na lang puro sibuyas ang mga nahulog.

and there are parts of the road na dapat isa isa lang ang daraan kasi sira and only one or bus can come in.

it is funny. that everytime the bus stops. people get concerned, checking what seemed to have happened and why the bus suddenly stops.

pero kanina nang pauwi. ang mga taga baler. usap lang ng usap about their lives. kuwento sila about the bar, about the nursing profession. yeah i had to eavesdrop. maingay kasi sila na parang wala lang.

i guess sanay lang talaga sila. ako naman hilo na ako. kulang na lang kantahan ako ni willie revillame ng "iyugyog mo", because of the bumpy ride from baler.

pero once nasa nueva ecija na. ok na. tuloy tuloy ang smooth road.

pero one of the coolest ang views from baler during the road trip. scenic siya.

there was one part that on your right is this beautiful lake. tapos on the other side naman is bangin which has another beautiful spot.

kahit paano napagaan ang travel because of these sceneries.

[gameforatrip]

pwede ba by plane to get to baler?

ano ba mga top tourist destinations sa baler?

[archer07]

yes may seaair trips siya

every friday and monday lang

destinations. of course the beach area of sabang. cemento. for surfing.

baler bay. actually marami. but people go there because of the surfing.

and people go there by troops to learn how to surf.

pero i think there is a school near manila, actually tanay which tutors wannabee surfers.

and pagdating mo sa actual sea. kaya mo na talaga.

Thanks archer07!! Ilang hours usually by BUS papuntang BALER?

[archer07]

Thanks archer07!! Ilang hours usually by BUS papuntang BALER?

when i went there the other day, we had to passby sampaloc area to get more passengers. then we had to go to san miguel bulacan. tapos punta pa sa cabanatuan to get the bulk of the passengers. then punta sa nueva vizcaya. then to baler.


all in all. 8 to 9 hours.

pero kanina when i went back hindi na pumunta sa san miguel bulacan. we had to use the spanking new sctex hiway. so around 6 hours lang. kasi less na ang stop overs.
