“Para sa mga umibig, nasaktan, ngunit umibig pa rin. You know, tatanga-tanga.”
I wonder how many people embarked on a sudden road trip to Sagada after watching the romantic film, ‘That Thing Called Tadhana.” Funny though, ‘coz of this adorable movie, it may now be valid to cry while on a bus somewhere. For sure, a lot of people tried to look for that famous juicy hotdog at one of the stop-overs too. And last but not the least, hmmm… I wonder how many girls flocked to Mt. Kiltepan to cry out, “Ayoko na! Ang sakit-sakit! Ayoko Na!”
Sagada in Mountain Province is 275 kilometers north of Manila. It can only be reached via Baguio or Banaue. Via Baguio – From Manila, take Victory Liner. Ideal trip would be 10:00 PM so you will reach Baguio around 5AM. From Victory Liner Baguio, ride a cab to Dangwa Terminal (less than 10 mins travel time). GL Liner has 4 daily trips to Sagada (Fare Php220); you may take the first trip which is scheduled every 6AM. The bus ride to Sagada is approximately around 6 hours with 3 stop overs. It’s a long WINDING scenic journey, so make sure to take Bonamine (I had to take one, sleep, take another tablet, and sleep again. That’s how winding it is!) The bus will stop in front of the Sagada Municipal Hall; here’s where your journey starts. š
While waiting for yourself to move on, you can stay at the following. Take note, moving on cannot be done overnight. Ideal stay in Sagada would at least be 5 Days and 4 Nights.

Contrary to usual budget concern, a trip to Sagada is not just for bourgeois (Burgis!). I only spent around less than Php5000 for this 5 Day-4 Night Sagada trip (including the pasalubong).
I have sagada mountain tea leaves if theres anyone there who wants to buy. call or text me at 09753139784
What if 1-2 na tao lang? 4500 paron ba magagastos or mas expensive?

Php4500 ang nagastos ko. If mas marami kayo, mas mura sa Php4500. š
