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!
Planning to go to Calatagan by commute (public transport), take a bus to Calatagan in Pasay City near MRT EDSA Taft station (Crow Bus) or Erjohn/ Kirby bus at Liwasang Bonifacio (Lawton) in Manila (bus will pass by Tagaytay, bus trips at 4am to 11pm and takes about 2 hours) or at the Ali Mall bus terminal in Cubao, Quezon City and lastly in Alabang, Muntinlupa. In Calatagan, get a tricycle to take you the beach resorts in the Sta Ana area.
Driving Directions by private car, take the south super highway (SLEX) exit at Sta. Rosa then turn right to Silang- Tagaytay. At the ridge turn right towards the rotonda. At Tagaytay rotonda (roundabout), look for 7-11 then drive straight ahead to Tagaytay-Nasugbu highway. At Palico intersection you may choose left turn to Balayan-Calatagan or right to Nasugbu, then turn towards Calatagan.
Other interesting places to see in Calatagan, Batangas:
Calatagan Lighthouse or Faro de Punta de Santiago (Santiago Point) or Cape Santiago
Museum at Golden Sunset (where you can find artifacts, resort is owned by Ricky Reyes)

Ive been to Ronco and it's a nice place but it's quite far and the roads are rough, so better bring a four-wheel drive. Don't expect luxury but it's a nice, romantic place to stay for people who want to take a break from the bustling city.
Any suggestions how to go to STILTS by communiting? Im from Quezon city. Thanks.
