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!
That's the amount he spent just to get home to his hometown Paete, Laguna, on election day itself, just to cast his sole vote that he expected to be drowned out by millions of ignorant voters voting for the wrong people using the wrong arguments.
P560 is broken down to these items (How to get to Paete, Laguna):
Taxi to Cubao from Munoz: P70.00 (P140) HM Transport Bus fare to Sta. Cruz, Laguna from Cubao: P148.50 (P297) Jeepney fare Sta. Cruz (Pagsawitan) to Paete: P24.00 (P48) Pancit canton at Benga's pancitan: P75.00 (good for 3 to 4 persons, highly recommended when you're in Paete)
The sad part about Tutubi's daytrip to Paete, Laguna, a PCOS Machine Malfunction at his precinct prevented him from casting his vote and left the school at around 4pm. He doesn't have the luxury of time to wait and had to go back to Manila where Tutubi, Jr. waits for him.
That's just one of the probably thousands of disenfranchised voters who weren't able to vote in the Philippines' first automated elections. Charge it to negative experience :(

Hi, Tutubi. I know how you feel especially that this election being the first automated is historical in that nature. At least you tried. My wife and I wasn't able to cast our vote for this national election which we feel so sayang. We were not able to register ourselves for the election because of our hectic schedule.
LOL... I really understand your frustration!! My partner (Richel) was also upset because she didn't get paid enough to vote!!! She missed out on thousands just becae she lived only a kilometre out of town...
She also had to wait 2 hours to vote but one of her sisters was kept waiting 8 hours after she arrived just before lunchtime!
