About This Blog
Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!

Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

    Hi, i am new here just stumbled on it via your comment in Dong Ho's. This has to be updated, as your STAR tollway ended here in Lipa City yet, but it has been connected already to Batangas City Pier. There are buses from Kamias (JAM) which go directly to the Pier, but you should be off at the Diversion Stop to Mabini or Anilao. thanks. I am from Mabini.

    Thank you Andrea. All the directions I've found are similar to the above directions - but now STAR tollway goes all the way down -- so for our trip I will exit and take the diversion road -- STAR tollway extension. Thank you for confirming my route. :)

    hi everyone...my family & i used to go to Goldmines Picnic View way back 2005, we return there again last 2009 but the Goldmines & all the other resort beside it were already closed. My friends are planning on coming there again on May 2011 but we're worried if there's still business there, specifically the former Goldmines spot? i hope someone from Mabini can help me out here...we really love the beach there & we are desperate to find a decent beach near that place...i would appreciate any suggestions from you guys....thanks in advance...

    The link of the official website of "Monte Carlo Resort" (www.montecarlo.giveu.net) is not working, and I find another one from google (www.anilaomontecarlo.com) Are these two the same Monte Carlo Resort in Anilao?

    And I sent an email to their email (inquiries@anilaomontecarlo.com) for quotation but there is no reply. How can I get them to respond?
