How to Get to Laguna: Bus, Jeepney Routes, Maps, Fares

Laguna is Tutubi's home province, and here's all that he knows about jeepney and bus routes to help you with the question "How to get to Laguna" and getting around Laguna in jeepneys. Note the map of Laguna is updated by Tutubi regularly, together with the cool guys of Open Street Map Philippines so you won't really get lost: just take note of the jeepney signboards.
