Starting point for this trip would be Bacoor Cavite. From Bacoor take Coastal road going to Macapagal Avenue and then EDSA. From EDSA just look for a sign that indicates the entrance to NLEX (North Luzon Expressway), Drive the whole stretch of NLEX existing in Dau. From Dau there will be road signs leading to SCTEX (Subic Clark Tollway Express or Something like that) drive the whole length of SCTEX going to Tipo Highway. The exit of Tipo Highway leads to Subic. The trip is roughly about 3-4 hours with moderate traffic on EDSA and the usual stopovers. Toll fees are expensive but seeing the road condition and noticing that there is no traffic, the fees are worth it.

It used to be that going to Subic freeport is a hassle since you will be passing the gapan-olongapo road in the San Fernando Exit of NLEX and it takes 2-2 /12 hours to get to Subic from here and this is tiring! Until they inagurated the spanking new SCTEX, built with a 27 billion dollar grant from Japan, is is a 94 kilometer 4 lane all weather road that connects subic bay, clark field and tarlac city. the 55 km clark to subic portion is now open (i heard that the 39 km clark to tarlac portion will be opened in july) and 500 meters after dau exit of NLEX, you will see a flyover that points to the SCTEX and just follow it and viola you are now at the north clark interchange entrance. The view is spectacular of rolling hills, mount pinatubo, rice fields and hills cut by the expressway. It is a 4 lane all weather road and the toll to Subic is 112 pesos from clark (you exit at the Tipo interchange of Subic and then pay another 18 pesos for the Subic Expressway). the driving time to subic is about 45 minutes.

out liar so I renegotiated on the spot when he left me far short of the goal. The taxi was fair, but a tad expensive. If I had paid what they had asked the sum total would have been 600 pesos, or about US$15. Not too bad - if you're in the US! I ended up shelling out 450. On the way back, it was a different story. I asked some of the locals how they would do it and they suggested a two-step jeepney trip that brought be just about to my door, for a total of 15 pesos. True, it took about an hour and a quarter instead of an hour and it was a bit packed. But a great experience and quite a savings.
