Local Travel

We will be inviting representatives of local bus companies to set up booths at our grand reunion ball to help you decide your travel plans while in the Philippines. There is a night trip that is available by Sleeper bus through Florida Bus Line. Their bus is station located at Lacson Blvd (formerly Gov Forbes) near Espana in Sampaloc. Sleeper bus is a bed (not seat) scheduled to depart Manila about 7:30 pm and arrive in Aparri at 6 am one trip daily. One way P1,000 but with senior card 20% off. Reservation required. In addition, you can also fly to Tuguegarao and take a bus from Tuguegarao to Aparri if you desire. Finally, you can also rent a van in the Philippines for about PhP 5000 per day, plus fuel, plus feed the driver. If you have a group of 6 people, this would cost you about USD$ 30.00 per day, and you would have use of the van while you are in Aparri. Just ask the bell captain at your Manila hotel and he will help you make arrangements.
